Art and Science Interdisciplinary Lesson - Value Scale

Students used images of insect handouts and created a drawing. Then we used rulers to intersect the insects. Each sections had to have a different value. We went over what a value scale was. Students practiced creating a value scale from light to dark on a given handout with boxes labeled. This lesson was done with Special Ed High School students.

School of the Future Project

I volunteered this summer with the School of the Future Project, also assisting with the research investigation team on how effective school programs are run. We conducted all types of art classes at Sgt. Dougherty Park in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. We worked with students from the PS 110's summer program, North Brooklyn Development Corporation.

Mola Artwork Project

First, students created their animal drawing

Then they flipped the drawing after gluing it to their first construction paper. 

Then added two more layers to create the mola effect.

Students then added the various cut up paper as pattern around the animals or sea creatures.
