Patterns Around Us

August-June

Patterns exist all around us, whether we notice them or not. Spend time slowing down to discover patterns around the Arts Center that often go unnoticed. We will then use the shapes we uncover to inspire us as we create our own works of art, acting, and/or music filled with patterns!

Standards:

  • MP.5.7 Look for and make use of structure.
  • MP.5.8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
  • VA.5.1PR Integrate observational and technical skills to strengthen artmaking
  • VA.5.4PR Select and use the elements and principles of art and design to communicate understanding of an interdisciplinary concept

Vocabulary:

line, shape, pattern, repetition, observation, architecture, search

Patterns

August-June

Patterns are all around us. They help us make sense of things, including the Arts. Join us at Greenacres as we search for and create our own patterns through Art, Theatre, and Music! This program is inspired by the season we are in.

  • MU.6PR Play a variety of classroom instruments, alone and with others, and demonstrate proper technique.
  • VA.7PE Generate artmaking ideas from their daily experiences and the environment.
  • TH.2.1PR Create movements and voices of characters to communicate feelings and ideas in dramatic or theatrical contexts (e.g., skits, puppetry, pantomime, improvisation and storytelling).

I Spy Shapes!

August-June

The Greenacres Arts Center is home to beautiful works of art, instruments, and cleverly designed shapes built into architecture. We will investigate the shapes around us as we create art!

Standards:

  • K.G.4 Describe and compare two- or three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their commonalities, differences, parts, and other attributes.
  • K.PS.1: Objects and materials can be sorted and described by their properties.
  • MU.K.1CE Identify the same and different (e.g., fast/slow, loud/soft, high/low and long/short).

Vocabulary:

Shape, geometric, organic, pattern, design, pitch, sound, large, small, high, low
