* Students use art materials and tools in a safe and responsible manner * Students use different media, techniques, and processes to communicate ideas, experiences, and stories * Students describe how different materials, techniques, and processes cause different responses * Students know the differences between materials, techniques, and processes Understanding and applying media, techniques, and processes National Core Arts Standards and/or National Visual Arts Standards Covered: Use basic shape construction to draw characters Identify adjectives, verbs, and adverbs within text. Identify characters, setting, and tone of a page of text. Students will create an illustration based on a page of Alice in Wonderland or another story of their choice using the following guidelines: Explain and demonstrate how using value contrast around a specific area of the picture can make that part of the picture the center of interest. Explain how the intensity of the lines used in the drawing can also contribute to the mood of an illustration. Explain how dark tones and high contrast can often portray sadness or anger in an illustration. Refer to the words highlighted that describe the tone or mood of the story. Show how something of a smaller scale also looks to be farther away. Show how something higher in the picture looks as though it is farther back. Refer to the words highlighted about the setting of the story, and draw those elements mentioned in the story in the background of your picture. Add the invented details to your drawing. Once those details have all been added, speak out loud as you decide what other details to invent about the setting. Repeat the last two steps until all characters of the scene are present in your drawing. Draw those details as well to create an interesting character. Once those details have all been added, speak out loud as you decide what other details to invent about the character. Draw a figure using basic shapes, then begin adding the details about the characters as highlighted in the story. Choose a character to illustrate and a scene in which to illustrate him/her. Refer to the story to choose characters for a scene of the story. Highlight those words with the last color. Finally, ask a student to identify words that refer to the mood or tone of the story. Highlight those words with yet another color. Next ask for a student to identify words or phrases that refer to actions, or plot of the story. Highlight those words with another color. Next ask the students to look for words that refer to the setting of the story. Look for words that refer to the characters of the story (include words that describe the characters). Show a page of Alice in Wonderland on an overhead Projector or ELMO or an enlarged page. Ask them what they think those elements are (character, setting, action, etc) Explain how there are essential elements to a story that must be present in an illustration for it to effectively tell a story. Illustrators must therefore make up a lot of details that are not included in the text of the story. Explain how illustrators are asked to follow the details of a story, but that much of a story is usually left up to the imagination of the reader. Have one student give a brief synopsis of what the story is about. Ask the students if they are familiar with the story of Alice in Wonderland.
