Objectives:
I can demonstrate an understanding of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors by creating a color wheel
I will apply tempera paint with precision, blending colors smoothly and maintaining clean edges in my radial designs
I can add depth and dimension to my work through layering and folding techniques to create a 6 point 3D star with precise use of ruler, protractor, and straight edge
I can measure 30, 60, and 90 degree angles with a protractor
I can demonstrate that I understand radial symmetry by ensuring that my design radiates from the central point
Vocabulary:
3D form: An object that has depth, width, and height, occupying space in a physical way
Balance: The distribution of visual weight in a design, ensuring harmony between color and shape
Contrast: The difference between light and dark areas, or between different colors, in the artwork
Hue: another word for color
Intensity: the brightness or dullness of a color
Primary: level one colors
Radial symmetry: a repeated line, pattern, or design that radiates from a single point
Relief- A sculptural technique where the surface is raised, creating depth and dimension
Secondary: colors made by mixing two primary colors
Shade: a hue mixed with black
Tertiary: colors made by mixing a primary with a secondary (i.e. red-orange, yellow-green- the primary color is always listed first)
Tint: a hue mixed with white
Tone: a hue mixed with gray
Value: the lightness or darkness of a color

The following National and State Art Standards were covered in the unit:
Creating
Anchor Standard 1: Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work.
VA
.1.7: Develop criteria to guide making a work of art or design to meet an identified goal (creating a 3D star using specific angles and incorporating color wheel elements).
VA
.2.7: Apply methods to overcome creative blocks by generating multiple approaches to a creative art or design problem (measuring precise angles and achieving radial symmetry in the 3D star design).
Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work.
VA
.1.7: Demonstrate persistence in developing skills with various materials, methods, and approaches in creating works of art or design (applying protractor and ruler to accurately measure angles, and integrating color theory).
Presenting
Anchor Standard 6: Convey meaning through the presentation of artistic work.
VA
.1.7: Analyze how the presentation of artwork influences perception and understanding of a concept (how radial symmetry and color relationships affect the overall design of the 3D star).
Responding
Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work.
VA
.1.7: Explain how the subject matter and visual elements (hue, value, and radial symmetry) communicate ideas or moods (color wheel arrangement in the 3D star).
Connecting
Anchor Standard 10: Synthesize and relate knowledge and personal experiences to make art.
VA
.1.7: Make art inspired by elements from personal or academic knowledge (using geometry skills and color theory to create the star design).
Creating
C.7.1: Explore, develop, and apply ideas and techniques to produce artwork that communicates meaning (understanding radial symmetry and the color wheel to design a 3D star).
C.7.4: Select and apply techniques and strategies for organizing visual elements, like symmetry, in artwork (radial symmetry in the star design, using accurate angle measurements).
Responding
R.7.4: Analyze the relationship between visual elements (e.g., hue, value, intensity) and how they contribute to the meaning of the work (exploring how color theory affects the visual outcome of the 3D star).
Connecting
Cn.7.1: Apply knowledge from other disciplines in the creation of art (using geometry to measure angles, integrating knowledge of the color wheel to organize colors symmetrically).
