Earth Day Art Project: Assemblage Sculpture Lesson

Description

This Earth day art project focuses on found objects to create an assemblage sculpture. The recycled material makes this prefect to celebrate Earth day or teach any other day of the school year (the Earth is always important!). Teach in elementary art (5th grade as a class project), middle school art (small group), or high school art classes (in pairs or individually).

2 presentations are used to introduce assemblages and give an overview of the project. Research and brainstorming activities help students plan their assemblage sculpture. Critique activities help students get feedback to improve their works of art.

• Lesson Plan with big idea, essential questions, middle and high school national standards, step-by-step instructions, vocabulary, and supply list
• Introduction PowerPoint
• Artist research activity
