Tall ships: elementary.Significant Problem: Silhouettes often distinguish the tall explorer ships that sailed across the oceans. When viewed against the open sea and sky, the lines and shapes of the sails, masts A mast is a man-made support structure, commonly used on sailing ships as support for sails, or on land as radio masts and towers used to support telecommunication equipment such as radio antennas ("aerials" in the UK). This is a list of masts 300 meters or higher. , and riggings made a distinctive overall pattern. Essential Concepts: 1. Observing and comparing the variations in the lines and shapes of ships. 2. Manipulating lines and shapes to create features and details of ships. 3. Considering the relationships between positive and negative areas. 4. Using strong value contrast to make silhouettes with distinctive personalities. Materials: Contrasting colors of construction paper, pencils, scissors scissors Cutting instrument or tool consisting of a pair of opposed metal blades that meet and cut when the handles at their ends are brought together. Modern scissors are of two types: the more usual pivoted blades have a rivet or screw connection between the cutting ends , and glue Guiding Practice: View pictures of ships and discuss their construction. Use black paper for the hull of the ship. Consider various ways to cut a rectangle to make it a distinctive ship shape. Consider both straight and curved cuts. Use strips of black paper for the masts. These strips can be cut in half lengthwise length·wise adv. & adj. Of, along, or in reference to the direction of the length; longitudinally. Adj. 1. lengthwise for making rope ladders or for the rigging rigging, the wires, ropes, and chains employed to support and operate the masts, yards, booms, and sails of a vessel. Standing rigging is semipermanent, consisting mainly of mast supports, the fore-and-aft stays, and the stays running from the masthead to each side lines of the sails. Cut the sails from additional black paper in the shapes of triangles or rectangles. Consider curving the edges of the shapes in order to show the sails being blown in the wind. Add details of anchors, lifeboats, crow's nests, rope ladders, and planks to give the ships their own personalities. Assessing Learning: 1. Have students plan a display of the artworks, grouping them in categories such as "lots of detail," "some detail," or "very little detail." 2. Ask students to identify the "personality" of each ship and label each one with words such as fragile, delicate, sturdy sturdy neurological disease in sheep caused by the pressure of a Taenia multiceps metacestode. Called also gid. , noble, grand, elegant, majestic, and graceful grace·ful adj. Showing grace of movement, form, or proportion: "Capoeira is a graceful ballet of power and control, artists kicking and jumping in synchronized movement" Alisa Valdes. . 3. Critique the work. Are the silhouettes good representations of explorer ships? Why? Does each ship convey a special personality? How? ClipCard submitted by Wendy M. L.
