Intro to 2D Art students just finished their most recent artwork. Students learned how to mix colors, practiced brushstrokes and tried out a Bob Ross style landscape. Then we learned about repetition. Repetition is when one object or shape is repeated in an artwork. We talked about different ways to show repetition and looked at some famous artworks that use repetition. Most students decided that the best way to show repetition was NOT repeating the exact same object over and over, but found more interesting ways to include that concept in their artwork. Students spent time generating ideas and developing the particular painting techniques they needed to work on for their artworks. After a few work days, we did a "speed dating" style critique. Students sat face to face, talked about favorite restaurants, most recent shows watched on Netflix, books they are reading and also shared about how they came up for the idea for their artworks, how they're showing color and repetition and then shared suggestions for improvement. Finished artworks all turned out unique, like the artists that created them. My favorite part of a TAB classroom (Teaching for Artistic Behaviors) is that students have freedom to choose what their art looks like. Even though the main themes in this unit were color and repetition, no two artworks were alike. Students are learning to think critically, take risks, reflect on and revise their artworks and the outcomes are remarkable.
