In this lesson students will animate a ball bouncing into the "frame," squashing against the floor and stretching as it bounces up. This lesson focuses on the first principle of animation called squash and stretch. The lesson also explores exaggeration and timing.
In this lesson students will develop a story arc through a sequence of panels that contains a beginning, middle, and end. Each panel will be illustrated in a style inspired by graphic novel illustrations. In this lesson, students are learning to tell a visual story based on a personal skill or achievement.
Using the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts website, students explore the sculptural work of 20th Century Conceptual artist Sol LeWitt to expand their understanding of geometric concepts, creatively play with mathematical ideas, and be inspired to make art of their own.
The website page provides a scaffolded approach to exploring Sol LeWitt's sculpture titled "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6." culminating in a challenge for students to build a 3-D Tinkercad model of a geometry concept of their own choosing.
