Inspired by my previous post, I have created a series of 6 doodle sheets that are free to download. I have produced them at A5 size (though they could be made smaller or larger if you choose) and they can either be printed off and used as they come, or trimmed and laminated to make re-usable doodle sheets, as illustrated here. If laminated, they should be used with special dry-wipe pens to allow them to be wiped clean. I also punched a hole in the corner of each sheet and tied them together using a keyring so that I could carry them about more easily. You are free to use these however you choose (except commercially of course!) However if you do wish to use them, please consider making a small donation to help support my personal blog. You can do this by clicking on the button below, or by using the Ko-Fi widget in the sidebar. To get your doodle sheets just click on the each image to open up the full size image, then right click to download a copy.

Materials: Tag Board Color Pencils Key Vocabulary: Hue, Value, One point Perspective, tertiary Direct Instruction Color has a huge effect on our daily lives. Everyday our emotions, moods, physical sensation (appetite) are influenced by the colors that surround us. There are three (3) properties to color: Hue: the name we give to a color (red, blue, etc.). Intensity: refers to the strength/vividness of the color. For example, we may describe the color blue as "royal" (bright, rich, vibrant) or "dull" (grayed). Value: meaning its lightness or darkness. Shade and Tint are in reference to value changes in colors. One-point perspective -contains only one vanishing point on the horizon line. This type of perspective is typically used for images of roads, railway tracks, hallways, or buildings viewed so that the front is directly facing the viewer.

Pop Art! In the 1950s and 1960s, young British and American artists made popular culture their subject matter. By incorporating logos, brand names, television and cartoon characters, and other consumer products into their work, these artists tested the boundaries between art and everyday life. Roy Lichtenstein was one of the originators of this new pop movement. Fascinated by printed mass media—particularly newspaper advertising and cartoon or comic book illustration—Lichtenstein developed a style characterized by bold lines, bright colors, dot patterns, and sometimes words. The art of today is all around us. Roy Lichtenstein "America's Worst Artist Ever??" What is ONOMATOPOIEA?

You can find this full lesson plan in my 4th Grade Curriculum Lesson Pack HERE! I have had quite a few people ask me about the handouts I used to do this color value lesson: So here you go... Sorry that I cut of the word "white" on the left side when I copied it, but the kids still get the idea. You can always just re-write it on the original before copying. I also included a value shading handout that I use for colored pencil and pencil projects. Enjoy! [These are cell-phone photos of copies of the handouts, but they should print fine. I hand-draw most of my handouts and then make copies!]
