FIRST PHASE ARRANGEMET

Students develop the ability to think and evaluate things in their lives by looking from different perspectives Students develop the ability to think and evaluate things in their lives by looking from different perspectives Taking nature, life and themselves as starting points, students construct concepts such as place, surface, unit, repetition, rhythm, order, harmony, integrity and community Taking nature, life and themselves as starting points, students construct concepts such as place, surface, unit, repetition, rhythm, order, harmony, integrity and community

By using invariable shapes (square, circle etc.) students form original designs. By using invariable shapes (square, circle etc.) students form original designs. They express the concepts of color, direction and proportion through the designs they formed of invariable shapes. They express the concepts of color, direction and proportion through the designs they formed of invariable shapes.  They improve their creativity in the process of learning through observation, research, inquiry and experimentation.

Students in ‘Arrangement Phase’ 6 th Grade: Students who take their first step towards thinking/idea, form original arrangement by using existing units. 7 th Grade : Form original arrangements (designs) by using invariable shapes (square, circle, line). 8 th Grade: They express the concepts of color, direction and proportion through the designs they formed of invariable shapes.

Composing Arrangement 6 th Grade In order to develop the idea of arrangement, the students make use of ready-units such as water containers/jugs and pulley. The student determines the unit he/she will use as a starting point to reach the integral. The methods of trial, search and determination are important components of the arrangement process of the unit. Under the light of their creative thinking, students repeat and combine the units. The integrals composed of different accords, aesthetics and interpretations are formed of repeated unit patterns which are the products of the individual differences and imagination of each student. Students take notes of the experience they went through during the process of moving from the unit to arrangement and they fill in the core evaluation form.
