Visual Literacy: Land Art

Description:

Students will learn about the use of rhythm in art and be able to incorporate this knowledge into their own artwork. First, students will be introduced from a slideshow, showing examples and breaking down the use of rhythm via pattern, color, line etc. Then, students will read an article about rhythm and write about the artists discussed. Finally, printouts of Land Art will be passed out and students can trace on top of them to identify the movement and pattern in the piece. We will end with a conversation about rhythm and what they learned.

Objectives/ Student Learning Outcomes:

Students will be able to:

• Identify how and why rhythm is used in art

• Define rhythm in terms of visual art

• Demonstrate the use of rhythm in their artwork
