Unit 14: Sensory-Based
Duration of Days: 8
That colors can swirl together without mixing completely (creating a pattern).
That different "scents" can represent different colors (e.g., Mint for Green).
That "Cold" objects can be used as art tools.
That heat (from their hands or the room) turns the solid ice into liquid paint.
That "Pressure" creates depth in a soft material.
The difference between a "flat" surface and a "bumpy" (relief) surface.
Drop color into a tray of foam and "swirl" using a tool or finger.
Press paper onto the foam and use a squeegee to remove the excess.
Move a frozen paint cube across a surface and watch the trail of color emerge.
Flatten a piece of clay and use a tool to press a deep texture into it.
The student will produce a marbled print and can correctly identify a "swirl" pattern versus a "solid" color.
Student will identify the "Wet" trail on their paper and point to the "Melted" ice cube as the cause.
Given two tiles (one smooth, one textured), the student will correctly select the "bumpy" tile through touch or gaze.
