Most students added many colors and/or designs to their spiral. We discussed having a growth mindset when students felt the struggle, whether with math or art.Īrts Assessment:Students utilized different coloring techniques with colored pencils including: pressure, stroke, layering, blending, highlight, and shadow. Also, the Pythagorean Theorem only works with right triangles, so the calculations and corresponding measurements required with the assignment would not be accurate. Some students struggled with using the protractors to draw the 90 degree angles, which skewed the spiral. Pre-teach: Pythagorean Theorem, how to make right angles using a protractor and ruler, colored pencil techniques (video)Teach the Elements of Art, then have the students apply them to a spiral design using the Pythagorean Theorem using their own creativity.Ĭontent Assessment:Most of the students understood the concept and created the Pythagorean spiral correctly. Materials List:Sketch books, pencils, erasers, protractors, rulers, colored pencils Key Vocabulary:Pythagorean Theorem, right angle, legs, hypotenuse, formula, solving equations using inverse operations, line, shape, direction, size, texture, color, value, techniques (refer to video tutorial) Lesson Title: Pythagorean Art Content Area: MathĬontent Area Standard:MA 8.3.3.a Explain a model of the Pythagorean Theorem.MA 8.3.3.b Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find side lengths of triangles and to solve real-world problems.įine Arts Standard:FA 8.2.1.c Engage in the sensory experience and relate it to making expressive artwork
