The five pictures were taken from a power point I did on Art Design and Principles.  I posted the top favorite pictures I took.  The purpose of the power point is to have it prepared as an introduction lesson for students to understand the art designs and principals and to be familiar with the vocabulary associated with art.

The set back I experienced is that I had a hard time choosing just 5 favorite pictures.  The power point has so many great pictures too.
An extension project that I would assign to my students after introducing the concepts described above, would be a wall size mural. It would be the size of one of my classroom wall's draping from ceiling to floor. I would request that each student draw, or paint at least 5 of the art designs. I would incorporate this with a Language Arts reading passage and have the pictures that the students draw and paint, the story setting.
