For any curriculum inquiries, please email us at info@blankcanvases.orgLesson Description
Inspired by the work of illustrator, painter, muralist, and art educator Daphne McCormack, students will explore the natural world through her art and focus on turtles and freshwater habitats. Students will share what they know about water ecosystems and consider how artists can use colour, pattern, texture, and line to communicate ideas about the environments around us.
Students will experiment with warm and cool colours, patterns, textures, and lines as they develop their own artwork inspired by freshwater habitats. They will also design and create their own stencils, transforming their original drawings into shapes and patterns that can be incorporated into their compositions.
