For the most part, teaching the Elements of Art is fairly simple and straightforward.LDD Lego Worlds Models DirectorySmall house based on the LEGO CREATOR SET: 4954 VillaBy: JeyBeeHHScreenshot:Download:It comes with some rooms, with nice floors and a bed.More furniture planed, but its hard to build some good with the standard-bricks.2 simple lanterns for parks and streetsBy: JeyBeeHHScreenshot:Download:Both with glowing lamps.2 Sets of EU StreetplatesBy: JeyBeeHHScreenshot:Download:These are the first streetplate-sets in original-lego stile.Each set comes with 5 streetplates. Color, shape, line: all of these things are easily understood by most of our students. However, when we get to art principles, things get murkier.īalance can be an especially tricky concept to teach. This is even more true for the concept of radial balance. Sure, students can identify an image showing radial balance easily, but getting them to understand exactly how it’s created can be more of a challenge. In years past, I sometimes skipped right over radial balance because I didn’t have the time to devote to it. However, with the aid of technology, that doesn’t happen anymore. In fact, I think that my students actually understand the concept better through technology than through creating physical projects. If you’re looking for a better way to teach balance, give technology a try. InspirARTionįor your PC and Android devices, I would recommend inspirARTion. This app has a free trial version that does everything you need and can quickly be downloaded from the Google store. It is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. You can select a single line of symmetry for your symmetrical projects. You can also select anywhere from 3-5 axes for your students’ radial images. Here are some student examples from my 5th-grade students. These images were created when I introduced the app to my students with a quick demonstration and then asked them to create both a symmetrical and a radial image. They easily accomplished both in one 50-minute class period. We used Artsonia as a way for them to hand in their projects, but they could also be quickly printed out. Amaziographįor your Apple devices, I would recommend the app Amaziograph. This $0.99 app is a lot of fun to use and can be used for symmetry, radial balance, tessellations, and more. Students simply “add” a new project, select the type of symmetry, and away they go. Here are some student examples of symmetrical and radial balance.Īfter the completion of a traditional, large radial image, my students taught themselves how to navigate this app to create these images. They handed them in via Artsonia, but there are other options available.
