HEAT WAVE CHALK GLUE TURTLES

Learning Targets

I can...

•  Create an original Heat Wave Chalk Glue Turtles using drawing techniques learned in class
• Use warm/cool colors (red, orange, yellow; green, blue, purple), line types (wavy, curved, straight), and space (positive, negative) inspired by I'll Follow The Moon 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition by Stephanie Lisa Tara
• Use drawing techniques (blending, smoothing, smudging) and design principles (balance, proportion, harmony) based on Fine Art
• Define Contour Line (a line that defines an edge or shape)

Lesson One
Day One, Art Start

1. Turtle Reflections (2019) Hailey E. Herrera

2. Read I'll Follow The Moon 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition by Stephanie Lisa Tara

Which is the most dangerous sea turtle? Why are sea turtles endangered? Why should humans protect sea turtles?"

Lesson Activities

1. Choose 12" X 15" Drawing Paper
2. Use pencil to draw animal parts (flippers, head, shell) of ones own sea turtle drawing
3. Use black glue to add line types (contour, outline, thickness) to Heat Wave Chalk Glue Turtle

Day Two, Art Start

1. Retrieve Heat Wave Chalk Glue Turtles for Assigned Table
2. Rainbow Sea Turtle (2017) Marionette Taboniar
3. Discussion Questions "What is ocean water like? How is it different than freshwater? Where is the ocean likely to be warm? Can sea turtles breath under water? How are sea turtles different from land or freshwater turtles? How many types of sea turtles are there? What are some foods sea turtles eat? Where do sea turtles live? Which flippers do the turtles use to dig the hole for the nest? How many days does it take for the eggs to hatch? Which sea turtles will leave the ocean to lay their eggs? What kind of animals are turtles? What is the upper shell of a turtle's shell called? What is the lower part of the turtle's shell called? Do turtles have teeth or tongues? Where do turtles lay their eggs? What type of environments would you find turtles or tortoises?"

Lesson Activities

1. Add decorative patterns (hearts, swirls, dots, stripes) to turtle shells of turtle drawings
2. Use black glue to outline decorative patterns (hearts, swirls, dots, stripes) of turtle shells of turtle drawings
3. Use warm colors (red, orange, yellow) to fill in positive space (turtle shell) of the Heat Wave Chalk Glue Turtles

Day Three, Art Start

1. Retrieve Heat Wave Chalk Glue Turtles for Assigned Table
2. Set Up Studio Area (black glue, sidewalk chalk, tissue paper)

Lesson Activities

1. Use cool colors (blue, green, purple) to fill in the negative space (background) of ones turtle drawings
2. Use blending tools (cloth, fabric, tortillas) to smooth warm colors (red, orange, yellow) of ones turtle drawings
3. Use black glue to outline decorative patterns (hearts, swirls, dots, stripes) of Heat Wave Chalk Glue Turtles
