What do you think?

Every boy and girl around the world has the right to an education and the obligation to go to school. Understand and appreciate the importance of going to school to secure a better future for every boy and girl in the world.

Plan of action

the world’s poorest countries, access to an education is still a serious problem today.

My Art class

1.1

Art materials

In class, you can spend time together and share your creativity. What a great creative team we are!

Look and circle the materials we use in Art class.

Caring for the materials

Remember to use art materials in the correct way. At the end of Art class, clean all the materials and tidy up. That way, you can continue to use them for longer!

A

pencil case and materials

Which materials do you need in Art class? Complete.

1.1 My Art class

Three-dimensional letters

Note how these letters look like they are solid.

The three dimensions

We say an object is three dimensional, or that it is in three dimensions, when it doesn’t look flat: it appears to have height, width and depth. Height Width Depth

Look at the 3D alphabet and the steps for drawing the letters.

A three-dimensional name CREATE

Draw your name with three-dimensional letters. Colour the letters however you like.

1.1 My Art class

Pictograms

Pictograms

Pictograms are simple images that represent ideas and transmit information.

They are very expressive. No text is necessary because the message is clear.

Look at the pictograms. Which school rule does each one of them represent?

Say good morning. Share with others.

4 Raise your hand and wait to speak.

Be quiet. 5

1 3 Use the bin.

Social harmony

Preparing for the task Choose a school rule that is important to you. Create a poster with a pictogram to represent it. Put all the posters up on the classroom walls.

1.1 My Art class

Axial symmetry cut-outs

Look at the steps for doing a symmetrical drawing by folding and cutting.

2 1

Look at these objects. Mark the ones that are not symmetrical. Fold a small piece of paper in half. Draw half of your picture on one side of the paper.

Cut the picture out. 3 4

Unfold the piece of paper. Finish the drawing by adding the details.

A cut-out garland

Choose four symmetrical objects. Make them by folding and cutting. Create a garland by glueing them together.

1.2 Outdoor games

LOOK Armatures

To represent people playing games, we have to learn how to draw the body in motion.

Armatures

An armature represents the skeleton . The small circles correspond to the joints.

The shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles are the joints that allow us to move.

Friends in motion CREATE

Complete the armatures and add the details. What are they doing?

Look at the example.

Distance and size

Distance and size

Things appear different in size depending on how far away we are from them.

When something is near, it looks big. If it is far away, it looks small. Look at the woman and the house in this painting as an example.

Christina’s world (1948), Andrew Wyeth. MOMA, New York (United States).

Distance and size

Colour and cut out. Then, classify the objects in three groups according to distance. Keep the pieces.

A Christmas

scene CREATE

Arrange the pieces in the scene. Think about their size and the distance. Stick them on the page.

ART STYLES

Paintings of people playing by Goya and Sorolla

Look for information on the Internet about the life and work of these painters.

Francisco de Goya (17461828) was a Spanish painter whose paintings reflected life at the time he lived: events, characters, customs, children’s games, etc. He was a master at depicting light and shadow.

Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923) was a painter from Valencia. His artwork is characterised by the intensity of the light, in particular in his paintings of scenes on the beach, where children are always playing.

El balancín (1791), Francisco de Goya. Philadelphia Museum of Art (United States).

Corriendo por la playa (1908), Joaquín Sorolla. Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias, Oviedo.

CREATE YOUR OWN STYLE

Remember what you have learned about armatures, expressiveness and the size of a figure depending on distance. Create your own scene of children playing outdoors.

The facts

There are 14.4 trees per person in Spain.

Plan of action 1 It’s so cold! 2 In the garden

Healthy terrestrial ecosystems have a big impact on life on Earth. Look at the colours, shapes and textures in the green spaces near you.

What do think?

Value your natural environment, and help to protect it from degradation.

Symmetry

Look at these sculptures made from blocks of snow. They look like they are carved in stone.

2.1 It’s so cold!

Snow is made from ice crystals. They have perfect symmetry. This is how they look under a microscope. Circle your favourite crystal.

Ice sculpture (2015), Harbin, Sun Island, China.

The symmetry of snowflakes

Follow the steps to create snowflakes. You need white paper and a piece of card.

Draw circles of different sizes using round objects. Cut them out and fold them like this:

Draw these shapes or others.

1 2 3

Cut around the shapes. Open the flakes. Stick them on the blue background.

2.1 It’s so cold!

Colour temperature

Colours have temperatures

Colours produce visual sensations. Some colours produce a feeling of warmth. They remind us of the Sun and fire. These are warm colours.

Other colours produce a feeling of cold. They remind us of the sky, water and nature. These are the cold colours.

Warm Cold

Look at the picture. Circle the warm colours in red and the cold colours in blue.

Lake George Reflection (1921-1922), Georgia O’Keeffe. Private collection.

CREATE

A landscape of cold and warm colours

Colour the left half of the picture in warm colours. Colour the right half in cold colours.

Comic strips and speech bubbles

Comic strips

A comic strip uses a series of drawings and speech bubbles to tell a story.

The speech bubble is for the words that someone says or thinks. There are different types of bubbles: talking, thinking and shouting.

Write the type of speech bubble inside each one.

A comic strip shivering in the cold

Look at the comic strip. Add the dialogue below in the correct types of speech bubble. Colour and finish the story by completing the final frame however you like.

I wonder where they came from…

Mum, Mum! I can see two people over there! I’m shivering.

Hi, my name is Blanca. It’s so cold here! We penguins love this temperature. We need it to live in the cold.

2.1 It’s so cold!

Geometry

Look at the photographs and the steps to create geometric patterns. What do they remind you of?

A geometric pattern on my winter jumper

Look at the geometric pattern on the jumper. Draw another warm piece of clothing (mittens, hat, scarf...) and then create another geometric pattern to decorate it.

In the garden

Textures

Look

Imagine touching the elements in this garden with your hands. What texture do they have? Circle the texture you think.

soft rough uneven smooth

Tactile and visual textures

You can use sight or touch to distinguish the texture of a surface: rough, smooth, raised... . When we touch something, we feel the texture with our hands. This is called tactile texture. When we look at it, we call it visual texture.

Earth Goddess. Imaginary worlds. Piedmont Park, Atlanta Botanical Garden (United States).

at these sculptures made from plants. They look like they were carved in stone and then painted.

A garden with visual textures

Fill in the parts you can see. Then, complete the picture however you like.

Shapes

Look at the steps to draw these animals. Note the geometric shape that characterises the parts of each animal.

Draw the oval outline of the shape. 1

2.2 It’s so cold!

What animal could you create from a triangle? And a rectangle?

Add the details. 2 Colour the parts. 3

Animal shapes in the middle of the plants

Add the animals you have learned how to draw to this landscape. Complete and colour however you like.

The still-life

The still-life

A still-life, also known as ‘deadnature’, is a type of composition with inanimate objects or things. Food, bowls and jugs are common themes.

The elements can suggest the tastes and smells they represent. The Colombian artist Fernando Botero (b. 1932) has painted the greatest number of still-lifes in art history.

Canasta de frutas (1997), Fernando Botero. Museo Botero, Bogotá (Colombia).

From garden to still-life

Follow the steps below. Create a still-life with pieces of coloured paper.

2.2 It’s so cold

Look at the photographs below and order them.

Sequence

Sequential pictures use a set of photographs or illustrations in a specific order to tell a story.

What do these images tell you when you look at them one by one? And when you look at them in order?

Paint the carboard tubes and the box. You can line the box with paper.

Cut out a window in the top. Then, decorate the bottle tops and stick them on like buttons. 4

Make holes in the box and insert the cardboard tubes.

Put the piece of paper over the cardboard tubes.

ART STYLES

Clara Peeters and Yayoi Kusam: flowers

Look for information on the Internet about the life and work of these painters.

Clara Peeters (1594-1621) painted the flowers in this artwork to look like real-life flowers. This is called realism.

Circle the flowers you can see in the artworks by Clara Peeters and Yayoi Kusama.

A Bouquet of flowers (1621), Clara Peeters. T he Visionary Flowers (2013), Yayoi Kusama, Tokyo (Japan).

Yayoi Kusama (1929) uses her imagination to represent the flowers in this sculpture. The giant flowers are painted with polka dots.

CREATE YOUR OWN STYLE

Learn the steps to draw flowers. Then, paint a picture of your favourite flowers.

PLAN OF ACTION

In this unit, you have learned about the colours, shapes and textures in nature. Now, use the brainstorming technique to find out the importance of nature on our health.

• Would you be happy if there were no green spaces to visit?

• How do you think you would feel?

• In your opinion, why is it important to protect nature from the degradation happening today?

Make a list of actions you can take to help nature. Share your ideas with the class.
