Principles of Design: Using the Golden Ratio as Art
This lesson borrows directly for Math Class: The Golden Ratio (1:1.618). It involves students making golden rectangles of various sizes/proportions, and arranging them in an interesting composition. The design may be further embellished by adding other elements such as colour, texture, and cut-outs (making negative space into a positive element). Coloured tissue could be applied to those negative spaces for additional effect.

Painting: Terminology and Techniques
This is a list of terms relating to "Painting", in the artistic sense. I have also included definitions/outlines for several techniques, and two lessons, one with Watercolour, and one with Acrylics. The acrylic lesson focuses on colour-field painting, that is, painting areas of flat colour, meant in the modern abstract sense, like the work of Joseph Albers, or Marc Rothko. I have made reference to palette knives, but I do not go into any great detail with that technique.

It is essentially a monotone picture assignment, utilizing just pencil, but could be further indulged as a colour composition as well, simply by adding the extra element of colour.
In either case, this is an extension to the l
