Whoville

 Description- To begin, we got to learn more about Charles McGee and his approach to art by analyzing how he used patterns, shapes, and repetition in his artworks. In addition, we studied Dr. Seuss' Whoville and discussed how its characters could inspire us and what we may use for our artwork. We discussed how imagination and individual approaches help in making one's art distinct. Then, we received an assignment to create four patterns using small slips of paper. It took some time because we had to think of different patterns and try to be as imaginative as possible in designing them. Afterward, we were introduced to various techniques that will help us create the three-dimensional appearance of our art. With the new techniques in mind, we received an assignment to arrange our slips of papers as we like. By doing this, we could freely express ourselves and create something unique by arranging the patterns in whatever way we liked. At last, we heard the book How the Grinch Stole Christmas. To finish up, we needed to write a couple of sentences about our artwork and why it is different from other children's artworks.

Extension Activity- Students would put up their own art works, walk around, and take notice of other students' art works. This could also involve leaving positive feedback or asking questions about their peers' works regarding patterns and dimensions.
