Freebie: The Dot & the Line 2D Design Project (Grades 7-12) Slideshow and Lesson Plan
Anyone who has read Norton Juster's classic, The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics knows and loves its charm and wit. Share this treasured text with your middle and high school students and pair it with my 2D Design Project Lesson Plan and Slideshow! The Slideshow walks students through a Two-Dimensional Design project that uses lines to tell a story or evoke a response in the viewer, while the Lesson Plan provides a script and sequence of what the teacher could do and say when facilitating this lesson.
The lesson allows for student choice, creative writing, movement, peer collaboration and individual exploration.
I have included references to Art History, with a prompt to get students to connect with the work of Kazimir Malevich.
The slideshow also contains two silent video demonstrations, where I show the various steps the artists might take in their exploration.
Ultimately, it is up to the students to explore. This can be a wonderful bridge to a more collaborative design project such as a mural or class logo, and will surely allow your students the time and space to enjoy the creative process.
