Life Cycles and the Effects of
Recycling Big Idea:
life cycles
Grade level: 3
21st Century Art Education
Approach:
Recycling
Lesson Overview
Students will start off by discussing the article they read
about recycling as a form of life cycles. We will be
introducing a new 21st century art education approach;
recycling. The students will then take their “garbage” that
they brought in to construct it into an artistic piece. We
will end with a gallery walk around and give out different
awards.
Recycling
Key Concepts:
1. Life cycles have different phases.
2. Recycling can have a positive effect on the environment and help reduce
waste.
3. Recycling can be a responsible approach for helping the environment.
4. Life cycles can encourage recycling.
5. Recycling informs the community about the negative effects of waste.
6. The life cycles of organic and inorganic material are different.
Recycling
Essential Questions:
Vocabulary
1. Upcycle:the process of transforming by-products, waste
materials, useless, or unwanted products into new
materials or products of better quality or for better
environmental value.
2. Disposable:Intended to be thrown away.
3. Composition:The arbitrary organization or inventive
arrangement of all of the visual elements in an attempt to
develop a unity in the total work of art.
4. Aesthetics:Emotional response to a work of art.
Studio Investigation:
● Lay “trash” items out on table.
● Keep the items you want to work with.
● The items you do not want to use should be
put on the back table so they can be
“recycled” by another student.
● Start to construct a piece of artwork out of
recycled materials.
Summative Assessment Strategy:
Visual Art & science
When the students are making their
artwork they are able to connect
that main items they are using for
their artwork are those that have
been discarded to be recycled.
Formative Assessment Strategy :
Literacy
We will come up with two to three questions based on the
assigned reading and have students discuss them with their
other group members. We will walk around and listen to the
discussions to make sure they are understanding the main
points of the article. We will know students are
understanding the material by social cues such as nodding
heads and by listening to them making connections to other
material.
