ARTS IMPACT—ARTS-INFUSED INSTITUTE LESSON PLAN SEVENTH GRADE—LESSON TWO: Kites: Patterns and Surface Decoration: Enlarging Scale Part II Artist-Mentor Meredith Essex Grade Level: 7th – Enduring Understanding Application of knowledge of ratio, scale factor and proportion can be used to accurately enlarge the scale of shapes used in design and construction. Art and Math Target: Enlarges design for surface. Criteria: Multiplies design shapes by scale factor and plots the vertices of proportional similar figures on one-inch grid paper (kite sail and keel pattern). Art and Math Target: Uses craftsmanship in drawing pattern and surface design. Criteria: Draws clean lines with straightedge and/or compass (optional) aligned with grid lines and vertices on one-inch grid paper. Arts Impact/TPS AEMDD Grant 2008-12 MATH ARTISTIC PATHWAYS – Seventh Grade Lesson Two Kites: Patterns and Surface Decoration: Enlarging Scale – Part II 10.16.2010 7-9 Materials Small and large rulers, pencils, erasers, scissors, My Kite Journal (MKJ), 2-gallon zipper (ex: Ziploc) bags Learning Targets Enlarges design for surface. • Uses craftsmanship in drawing pattern and • surface design. Do Now Draw a triangle or rectangle. Enlarge it (draw a similar figure). Name scale factor. MKJ 8-6 Activities/Prompts What does craftsmanship mean? What role • does math play in craftsmanship? We are going to be enlarging and transferring our symmetrical geometric designs for our kite. Look closely at your small scale artistic • design for sail and keel. How many times
