PrimarySecondaryYear 5 - 8The ArtsMedia ArtsVisual ArtsEnvironmentalConservationSocialOutdoor Learning
Lesson Summary
Nature is filled with marks, patterns and beautiful designs that occur naturally and evolve rather frequently.
In this art lesson, students are invited to investigate visual patterns and how repetitive marks are used to create patterns and designs. While viewing the works of Joshua Yeldham, students will discover the combination of elements, shapes and line (in regular and irregular arrangements) that create patterns. The class will take on the role of an artist and create their own patterns and artwork and apply meaning to their intentions while observing nature.
