THE PLAN
4 sessions; 40 minutes per session
1. SWBAT identify the characteristics of Asian art.
2. SWBAT identify the two types of scrolls.
3. SWBAT discuss how Asian culture and religion impacted their artist's choices.
1. Watercolor paper
2. 1/4" dowels
3. Hot glue
4. Pencils
5. Sharpies
6. Watercolor paint
7. Ink and ink pens
8. Asian symbols handout
Day 1: Show students the power point about Asian art. Discuss how their religion impacted their art (nature is very important and their art reflects that). We also discuss the foreground, middleground and background, and we talk about how in Asian landscape scrolls, it almost appears as if there is an empty space between each ground. After the power point, students paint their watercolor paper with brown watercolor paint to make it look old.
Day 2: Students do a practice drawing of their landscape on scrap paper first. I remind them to think about having a foreground, middle ground and background, as well as to think about man vs. nature in Asian art. Once approved, students draw their project on their brown paper and outline with Sharpie. While students are doing this, I call them over one at a time to glue the dowels onto the ends of their scroll, rolling them up once at each end of the paper.
Day 3: Student paint their art with watercolor paint (remembering to think about using natural colors).
Day 4: On the last day, I hand out an Asian symbols handout. Student pick a few symbols to draw on their scroll and then outline with ink pens.
