Maurits Cornelis Escher self-portrait 1935
A fun day learning about MC Escher. Here are the two videos we watched:
Students were set 3 tasks today:
1 DRAW the MCE font from the first video ... no more than 3 fingers high in the centre of page 5
outline with a freehand rectangle (no ruler needed). Colour BLACK.
2 After tracing the yellow square on pg5, students were to write the following info creatively inside:
a MCEscher's nationality
b Born/Died (how old was he?)
c Google MCE Fun Facts and list 5 (in point form)
3 After tracing the yellow horizontal rectangle, students were to google Famous Quotes by MCE
THEN they were to create a funky frame around the rectangle, and create their own artsy 'poster' that included one of his famous quotes that they found, read and liked.
IF TIME, students were to check out Tessellation Patterns by MC Escher.
We will continue our lesson tomorrow!
