K-5 art lessons that focus on one or more of the elements of art:
color, shape, form, texture, value, space, and line.
Third graders turned shapes (circle, triangle, and rectangle) into forms (sphere, cone, and cylinder). Then made these forms look like vessels used for scientific experiments (florence flask, erlenmeyer flask, and beaker).

Fugleflick Resources for art concepts:
Our Fugleflick, Deep Space, contains forms with foreground, middle ground, and background with overlapping,
Our Fugleflick, Bye Bye Road, is a fun sing along to a Beatles' tune about things to look for in an image that shows depth including a vanishing point, converging lines, and relative sizes.
Our Fugleflick, Complementary in Every Way, introduces the color wheel including primary, secondary, and complementary colors.
Digital extension: Animating Bubbles
Students will animate bubbles coming from the scientists' vessels .

Step 4. Combine the LOVE template and the emoji filled heart picture in the Superimpose app using the square size constraints, masking, and blend mode. Watch my tutorial to see how it is done.
Did you know that the Keynote software (Apple's presentation tool) on the Mac has a drawing tool?
It is a vector based tool that creates clean and customizable shapes that you can fill with color, gradients, or a photo. Then layer, arrange, flip, add shadows and group these shapes until they've become almost anything you can dream of.
Here are some of the drawings I created using Keynote. I used images of fabrics to fill my shapes. You can download my folder of fabrics here if you want to give this a try. See my tutorial below for some tips and how tos.
Currently the iPad version of keynote is missing some of the tools: the free draw line and fill with a photo. This means you can only draw shapes from pre-made choices and fill with colors. The teddy bear design below would work on the iPad because it is completely made from ovals, circles, and lines.
