For this progression, the teacher should lead a more in-depth investigation into the history art. Further Development Several of the component activities listed above could be expanded upon by students within the context of a research project. The techniques of other cultures could also be demonstrated as a supplement to showing the materials and products of different parts of the world. For example, the Japanese technique called gyotaku is simple to show to students. In this technique, the top of an object, such as a fish or leaves, is inked with a roller or a brush.
Dampened paper is placed over it and pressed with a roller.
This method was developed in the early Nineteenth century to record species of fish. In both geography and history courses the background of some of the patterns and works of art can be examined. In history class, brass rubbings can be examined for the historical information they present. In dance and physical education curriculum, repeated patterns of movement can also be related to visual patterns. In mathematics and science courses, repeated patterns can be seen or at least represented in visual form.
