In this lesson, students identify basic shapes and types of lines, and analyze how Pablo Picasso's might use such shapes and lines in Guitar, Sheet Music, and Glass. Drawing upon Guitar, Sheet Music, and Glass as an inspiration, students than cut out and paste shapes to create their own cubist collage of a musical instrument.

Students create animations, interactive artwork, photograph filters, and other exciting, artistic projects using code.

Art is a complete theme designed to be completed over eight, 45-75 minute sessions. For each activity, students will watch a series of videos and create one coding project with opportunities to personalize their work using “Add-Ons,” which are mini-coding challenges that build on top of the core project.

From Earth’s moon to Europa, our solar system is filled with interesting set of natural satellites. Through art and science, children learn about moons of our solar system with the Deadly Moons activity.

The attached PDF provides learners with a unique way to find geometric shapes through pictures. In the case, the search is for Trapezoids and Parallelograms. Use, revise, or be inspired by the ideas and create your own to support your learners.
