Bloom’s Taxonomy Major Grade Presentation

Level 1: Remembering
- Activity: Students watch a powerpoint over the Elements of Art: line,
shape, color, texture, form, space, and value. Students will take notes
on their own paper.
- TEK: 1(C) Identify the principles of design..
- SPED/ESL Accommodation: The students will be provided with a
hard copy of the notes that have extra explanatory texts.
- Uh Oh! No tech? - I, the teacher, will read/talk about the definitions
of the terms while the students take notes.

Level 2: Understanding
- Activity: Pictionary to help students understand the terms. I will
assign the words and each student will try to illustrate them.
- TEK: 1(B) Understand the principles of design...
- SPED/ESL Accommodation: The students won't have time
restrictions. They will have extra time to understand and play the
game. I will assign them easier words.
- Uh Oh! No tech? Doesn’t matter in the least.

Level 3: Application
- Activity: Applying these terms to your own art. Students will fill out
the chart below by using both the principles and elements of art in
tandem
- TEK: 1(B) Identify and understand the elements of art...
- SPED/ESL Accommodation: The students will be exempt from the
time limit; they can take all the time they want. They will also be
allowed hints, use of notes, and teacher help.
- Uh Oh! No tech? Doesn’t matter in the least.
Ms. Jensen

Level 4: Analysis
- Activity: Compare and contrast different artworks (from a
powerpoint). Compare artworks that are missing some principles of
design with those that don’t. Students will make a Venn Diagram for
each pair (as many pairs as time allows) (Principles of design are
emphasis, repetition/pattern, movement/rhythm, contrast/variety,
balance, proportion, and unity)
- TEK: 1(B) and 1(C)
- SPED/ESL Accommodation: The students only have to put the
differences or similarities, not both. They may also have fewer to do.
- Uh Oh! No tech? I’ll draw examples on the board. Stick Figure v.s.
Mona Lisa, scribbled landscape v.s. Starry night, ect,.

v.s. , v.s.

Level 5: Evaluation
- Activity: Evaluate principle of design- In your opinion, why did the
artist choose to use these? How do they enhance the artwork?
- TEK: 1(C)
Ms. Jensen

- SPED/ESL Accommodation: The students can complete this with

peer/teacher help. They may take as long as they want and only have
to complete one evaluation.
- Uh Oh! No tech? Bring large pictures of the artwork

The Iceburg

Level 6: Creation

- Activity: Create your own work of art on a large sheet of paper using
AT LEAST 4 principles of design and 4 elements of art.
- TEK: 1(B) and 1(C)
- SPED/ESL Accommodation: The students only have to use two or
one of each, have an unlimited time limit
- Uh Oh! No tech? N/A

Presentation Plan:
1. Present Information-
a. If projector = functional, then go through powerpoint
b. If projector ≠ functional, then write vocab on the board and
have a discussion with the definitions (maybe invite students up
to write on board)
2. Pictionary-
a. Divide the room into teams. A player from one team goes up. I
tell them one word to draw. Words include:
i. Elements of Art: line, shape, color, texture, form, space,
and value
ii. Principles of design: emphasis, repetition/pattern,
movement/rhythm, contrast/variety, balance, proportion,
and unity
3. Comparison Chart-
a. If projector = functional, then show chart on Powerpoint.
b. If projector ≠ functional, then draw chart on the board.
c. Have them copy down the chart and fill it out based on the
example below.

4. Create-your-own: Use 4 elements of art and 4 principles of design in

your own original artwork.
If still more time, talk about extra terms, look at how they work in artworks
Ms. Jensen

Script for if powerpoint not working:

- Line: path of a moving point
- Shape: a two-dimensional closed area
- Form: (implies) 3D geometric shape
- Geometric shapes: clear edges and angles
- Organic shapes: irregular, may be found in nature
- Positive space: area that objects occupy
- Negative space: area around objects, empty area
- High saturation:
- Low saturation:
- Achromatic: no color, black & white
- Monochromatic: using only values of one color
- Warm colors: think fire
- Cool colors: think water
- Complementary colors: opposite on color wheel
- Value: lightness or darkness of a color
- Texture
- Space
- Balance: visual weight
- Formal: occurs when equal or very similar elements are placed on
opposite sides of a central axis
- Symmetrical: two sides identical; mirror image
- Radial: when the elements of a design come “out” from a central point
- Asymmetry (Informal): balance of unlike elements, b/c two objects may
have same visual weight as a larger singular object
- Movement: how your eye moves through the artwork. (Ask them ways to create
movement)
- Rhythm and Repetition: repeating an art element or an object creates them
- Motif: recurring thematic or visual element
- Emphasis: first element of an artwork that grabs your attention
- Contrast: deals with the difference of the art elements used
- Unity: quality of oneness or wholeness, achieved through effective use of the
elements
- Harmony: creates unity by stressing the similarities of different but related parts.
- Composition: the selection and arrangement of elements of art and design
- Design: arranging your elements in a work that is non-objective or abstract
- Medium: what an artwork is made of or how it is made
- Subject matter: what an artwork is OF
- Rule of Thirds: not centering your subject
