Step-by-Step Studio Activity Specifics: Students will first view the short films about Maori chants. These films stress the concept of using a cultural practice derivative of one specific group to influence the practices of another. These influences are based in design only and do not require students to produce exact images of that which they do not feel comfortable with or believe in personally. Students will then be handed a Maori symbols worksheet and view a Power Point presentation that goes along with it. Students will design their own original motif using design elements found in the Maori culture. These elements are spiral in nature and come from the plant life/sea life of their island home. Students will need to select one of the following color schemes to illustrate their design ideas: complimentary, split complimentary, neutral, monochromatic, secondary or primary. Students will create their final design version using colored felt tip ink pens. Health & Safety Concerns: There are no health and safety concerns for this project. Cleanup Time & Strategy: Students will be instructed to put away art materials neatly in their containers, clean off their tables, and recycle their trash two minutes prior to dismissal. Assessment: A formal assessment/grading rubric sheet is included along with this lesson plan. All photos and lesson plans copyrighted 2011 Grimm
