Goal

Creekside Middle School has an outstanding Arts Department! We all work very independently, and many people don’t even know what we do. As I sat and watched several of their performances last year, I thought it would be cool if my visual arts students created projects based on the performing arts to hang in the cafeteria space where they perform. It is not easy to hang artwork up in the space because of the block walls, but we can hang from the drop ceiling.
I would like to have my students create painted banners based on all art forms. I envision paintings of dancers, musicians, instruments, theater masks, famous artist replicas and poems etc. hanging from the ceiling near the stage and around the edges of the multi- purpose room. This project will not only impact my students , but all of the students, staff, and parents as well, by showcasing what our talented students are doing here in the arts.
 

What will be done with my students

This project will take approximately 2-4 weeks to complete.
Students will...
1. Sketch 3 ideas for their paintings. Their ideas must be based on another art form, dance, drama, music, visual, or poetry.
2. Choose their best idea and block it in on the banner material.
3.Create their painting by using acrylic paint, and markers.
4. Hang the art (with help) in the cafeteria

Grades 6-8 Engineering Design
•-1 Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
•- 2 Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
•-3 Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
• -4 Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
