A Provocation!
Students tuned in to the new unit by watching a video about
Pablo Picasso. The video tells about the period of Pablo Picasso's painting themes.
Students knew that an image has a theme and telling messages.
What happens in the classroom!
In the beginning, students had found the conceptual understanding of image after been provoked by a movie of Pablo Picasso. They know Blue Period, Rose Period, War and Cubism Period. All those period has different theme and messages that Pablo PIcasso tried to communicate.
hen they could identify some images that they see around them. This could bring them into a knowledge of still and moving images.
Students watched movie at home about Flipped book, and a movie that i have made to guide them drawing a simple cow and monkey.
Then they might use the drawing skill to make their own flip book as one one to produce Moving Image.
FLIP BOOK ON A FLIPPED CLASSROOM
Students shared and discussed their flip book that they made
to their friends at school.
"Freeze Frame"
Students did a roleplay about short scene, and I took the picture using camera. I showed them the result of the captures. This learning engagement is to lead them understand of the concept of Still and Mving Image.
7 Elements of Art:

Students identified the differences and the similarities of Still and Moving Images.
After exploring, finding information and working collaboratively with peers, students sort out all the knowledge they got in a Venn Diagram.

Finding Information:
Students completed their notes by visiting corners of related elements. They also brainstormed about media, materials, tools and techniques can be used to produce an image. Some pictures are given to provoke them into the discussion.
They were asked to decide a theme of an image, and to use their imagination to think of the tools, materials and techniques they might use to create their image.
I provided some materials and tools for the students to explore and produce their masterpiece, such as bubble painting, marble painting, srting painting, cotton buds to produce dotted images, glue painting, paintbrush, cotton and glitter.
CREATE AN IMAGE USING TECHNOLOGY
During the ICT time, students explored more techniques to create an image. Pocket Camera is one suitable tool for younger kids. They have learned about framing using camera, and other skills to use this gadget in previous week, and practiced capturing objects using camera in group.
Using camera for this second chance must be created with a theme.
Bubble painting is fun..!
Glittering to make sprakling effect on my image
Students were challanged to create a still image using some tools provided by Smartboard tools. They might explore 7 elements of art to design their arts. It must be related to the feelings that they wanted to communicate with. They also decided the type of image and the function.
