AUTHOR: Roalf, Peggy.
TITLE: Landscapes / Peggy Roalf.
PUBLISHER: New York : Hyperion, c1992.
DESCRIPTION: 48 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm.
INDEXED: Children's Catalog (Wilson).
SUMMARY: An exploration of painting throughout 2000 years of art history, focusing on paintings of landscapes by various artists.

Description:

Students will create a landscape using paint brush, fill, airbrush effect, or whatever technique they may choose. They will save the original landscape to their folder naming it. They will go to Images and click on Invert. This will give them a reversal of colors on their landscape. They can then alter or rework any colors or textures to enhance the image. They should save their image in their folder with the previous name and -2 (dash two) attached right to it. They should type their name and room number to the bottom of each image saved.

Time Allotted:

10 minute sections timed with a timer. Finished project may take several weeks. Once a student has completed 3 or 4 time periods, he/she should be able to print the project.

Materials, Tools and Resources:

Computer, MS Paint, paper, disk( if they wish to save it for themselves to use in another computer.)

Web Sites Needed:

http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/landscape/browse_countries.html http://www.art.net/~starhawk/spacgall.htm
http://www.grsites.com/

Teacher preparation:

1. Examples of earth landscapes and your own alien landscape on the board and on the computer.
2. Paper and color pencils on drawing tables.
3. Computers and software working and printers turned on
4. Web site links working to show more examples.

Prerequisite technology skills:

Use input devices , familiar with MS Paint and how to use the menu bar and the tool bar, color palette to choose both foreground and background colors. How to copy and paste images, Demonstrate positive social and ethical behaviors when using technology.

Class layout and grouping of students:

Rotate students on the computers and drawing tables.

Procedures:

Introduce the students to the new vocabulary and show examples on the computer of landscapes on earth, ask if some places look like they could be an alien planet. Ask the students about places they have visited/traveled to, show students step by step of doing the project, refresh on how to use the tools to create a landscape, then reversing the colors and adding additional texture, how to save, setting the timer and when finished to go to the drawing table and draw with colored pencils, monitor students at the computer station to see how they are doing and drawing area,close the lesson with questions about the vocabulary and MS Paint, let students know when lesson should be completed and that they will be sharing with the rest of the class their drawings; explaining and comparing the two landscapes.

Student Products:

CD if they want to save their work and use it on another computer.

Assessment:

Using Authentic Assessment: 1. Performance Assessment: Did they complete the landscape using a variety of colors and textures. Did they reverse the colors? Did they add textures to enhance the image? Did they use their imagination and creativity? 2. Open-Response Questions: Do they know what these vocabulary words mean? Reverse, Texture, Motion, Details, Computer, Landscape, Negative , Effects. Do the students display a good attitude and stick with the timer when using the computer so every student gets a fair amount of time on the computer? 3. Self-Assessment: Were the students able to critque, describe and compare their landscapes with honesty and creatively?

Extensions and modifications:

Have students write a story about their alien landscape and how it is different from Earth. Make sure the stories are descriptive and full of imagination.
