For our first studio session of the semester, we focused on a lesson that concentrated on a kindergarten student learning the primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. For this particular piece of artwork, we were assigned to draw a room in our house using only red, blue, and yellow oil pastels on a plain piece of paper. I chose to draw an image of my bedroom. This studio was very appropriate for a kindergartener as they are able to learn what a primary color is as well as participate in a fun activity to help them remember which colors on the color wheel are primary and which ones are not.
As listed on Springboard, visual art and common core ELA standards are met with this lesson. The visual art standards address primary colors and exploring the tools and processes of visual arts. Students are able to explore how they can create their own visual art when they turn a plain piece of paper into a piece of artwork. They also use tools such as color wheels to help better understand the primary colors. The common core ELA standards that were addressed in this lesson were "With the guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question". Students are asked throughout the lesson several times to repeat what the primary colors are. Students are also asked to recognize the primary colors from other professional artists. The second common core standard is "describe familiar people, places, things, and events and with prompting and support, provide additional detail." This standard is addressed when the students are asked to think about a room at their home and visually portray the image in their head onto a piece of paper.
If this lesson were actually implemented with children I could see some students struggling to draw all the items in a room. I personally had a hard time figuring out the best way to draw my night stands with lamps on them. Students may get stumped on the accuracy of their artwork and dismiss the academic lesson that is supposed to be learned from this assignment.
