Geometry and Art: Art Museum Post-Visit: Geometry and Art: Art Museum Post-Visit is the third lesson of a three-part unit integrating math, writing and visual arts. In this integrated lesson, students apply their knowledge of geometry by organizing and displaying information in graphs with correct labeling. Students then compare and analyze graphs. Finally, with this information students create a geometric design.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 English Language Arts, Visual Arts Education, and Mathematics); By Loretta Hopper.

Geometry and Art: Art Museum Pre-Visit: Geometry and Art: Art Museum Pre-Visit is the first lesson of a three-part unit integrating math, writing and visual arts. In this discovery learning activity, students look at and compare two works of art. The paintings are quite different, but they contain many examples of geometric shapes. Students then complete a comment sheet, explaining what is similar and different about the works of art. This lesson can be used alone or used to prepare students for an art museum visit.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 English Language Arts, Visual Arts Education, Mathematics, and Computer Technology Skills); By Loretta Hopper.

Adjective Monster: Students explore the connections between visual art and language arts, and how both are used to creatively tell stories and express emotions.
