THE PLAN
1 session; 45 minutes per session
1. SWBAT define abstract.
2. SWBAT explore different elements of art in a work.
3. SWBAT compare and contrast digital and traditional art media.
4. SWBAT use iPad apps to manipulate an image.
1. Artworks done in a traditional art medium like pastels or paint.
2. iPad
3. iPad apps PhotoTropedelic and/or Percolator
1. Discuss abstract and realistic artwork with students.
-have students give examples of each
-have students compare and contrast abstract and realistic artwork
2. Demonstrate using the apps PhotoTropedelic and Percolator to transform a traditional artwork
-Show how to use the app to photograph the artwork
-Show how to use the different settings
-Discuss how the different settings can change how the color, balance, and other elements in the work look.
-Show how to save and share the image with you
3. Once students have finished the traditional artwork, allow them to pick one of the apps to manipulate digitally
-I suggest working in pairs so that they can help each other remember steps and can discuss the changes as they make them
4. When the digital work is finished students should save it to the camera roll and share using email, DropBox, Artsonia, or other ways of sharing with you
Students will fill out an artist statement answering the following questions:
Compare and Contrast the difference between Abstract and Realistic artwork. Does your digital work look Abstract or Realistic? What would you title your artwork? Compare and Contrast the methods you took to create the traditional artwork with the digital work. Which do you like better and why?
You could connect this lesson to Cubism using the Ray Ray setting on Percolator.

really great ideas.. I think I could use this as a I'm Done activity. Have them pick one of their pieces off of artsonia and recreate it.
