Students are exploring movement in art by playing with simple elements like lines and shapes. We discovered the American artist Alexander Calder, famous for his mobile sculptures. His friend Marcel Duchamp gave them the name ‘mobiles’ , a fun word in French that means both ‘motion’ and ‘motive,’ because Calder’s delicate, balanced artworks gently move with air or touch.

Unit Summary: My Well-Being Garden

In this unit, students explore color symbolism and learn how colors can influence emotions and well-being. They are introduced to warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) and cool colors (blues, greens, purples), discovering how each group can create a different feeling or mood.

Students practice coloring neatly, respecting shapes and boundaries. They investigate how warm colors feel energizing, joyful, and bright, while cool colors feel calm, quiet, and relaxing.

Students create a series of artworks to apply their learning:

1. Cool Color Garden – using only cool colors to create a peaceful, soothing mood.

2. Warm Color Garden – using only warm colors to create an uplifting, energizing mood.

3. My Own Well-Being Garden – a free-expression artwork where students design their own garden, choosing colors intentionally to express how they want to feel. They apply color symbolism independently to communicate their personal sense of well-being.

Final Outcome:
Three expressive garden artworks demonstrating students’ understanding of warm and cool colors, mood creation, and personal expression through color symbolism.
