Current Fieldwork Obseravations

To update from my last fieldwork blog:

I have finalized my lesson plan and created a teacher's sample.

For this lesson, students will look at the works of MC Escher and the Principles of Design. By using these two things, students will then create a work of their own which falls under Gestalt Art. For my teacher's sample (above), I chose a interesting silhouette (a goldfish) and combined it using the principles to create this composition. While MC Escher was famous for having 2 objects merge together, upon doing the sample I found it quite difficult to come up with an idea and shapes that merge together without using MC Escher's examples (bird into fish).  I thought it was interesting that using a silhouette of a goldfish I was able to come up with an interesting abstract pattern between them.
