Google Docs™
Description
Performance Objectives:
Cognitive: Given the three different paintings, students will be able to identify different lines, colors, and shapes
Affective: Students will encourage and respect each other in both a group setting as well as in individual activities, including positive feedback.
Psychomotor: Forming a line, students will demonstrate fundamental movements that best fit the type of line that is called out.
Overview:
In K2 physical education, children are just learning and becoming aware of their body’s movements and abilities. Many primary Phys. Ed programs regularly include movement and dance as a regular part of their curriculum. This activity integrates Modern Art and Physical Education by having students act out the movements and emotions depicted within the paintings: The Starry Night (Vincent Van Gogh), The Scream (Edvard Munch), and Number 1/Lavender Mist (Jackson Pollock. Students will be asked to “become” the shapes, colors, or the paintbrush and explore the possibilities within the selected canvases.
