Peer Lesson: Textured Painting





For this project students were exposed to several objects that produce texture such as pinecones, sponges, carpet, tinsel, bubble wrap, etc. Students were given the primary colors of paint for this project. The requirements for this project were as follows: 1) students could create a picture using a pattern format. 2) Students could create a picture using their name. 3) Students could create a picture using shapes and 4) students could create an abstract painting of their own as long as it meets all the requirements. 5) Students had to use a minimum of four colors (2 primaries, 1 secondary and 1 intermediate). 6) A minimum of three textures needed to be used and 7) Students were encouraged to use the whole paper while maintaining balance.
Extension Activity:
I would incorporate this into a history lesson about the printing press. How did the printing come about, early attempts with printing and how it changed the world.
