Mini Cartoon Practice Page with Graham Shaw

1. Have an open mind. 2. Have a go at it! - Graham Shaw (2015)

Fundamental Concept for Grade 3 - Line: Variety of line (thick*,thin,dotted) - Space: Foreground, middleground and background to give illusion of depth - Colour: Colour for expression (warm and cool colours) - Value: Mixing range of light colours and dark colours

Cross Curricular Connections

Principles of Design - Variety: slight variations on a major theme, strong contrasts (use of different lines, shapes, values, and colours to create interest)

Language Overall Expectation: Read and demonstrate an understanding of a variety of literary, graphic, and informational texts, using a range of strategies to construct meaning Specific Expectation: 1.6- extend understanding of texts by connecting the ideas in them to their own knowledge and experience, to other familiar texts, and to the world around them. I would read this text to the students before creating an art piece on a sunrise.

" Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." - Scott Adams 

This quote by Scott Adams is one my favourites and has always been one I think about when completing every piece of art. Art has never been my strong suit and throughout the years, I always felt like I was making mistakes. When I came across this quote, it really resonated with me and what I pull from it is that there are no mistakes in Art. Every piece of Art is beautiful because of the artist behind it.
