Art Unit Plan

Everyone,

I shortly mentioned that for your next art lesson you will in fact create an art unit plan. I have the NAEA Unit Plan format that you can use. When teaching art you will find that you need more than one class or one week to complete an activity. With the Unit Plan you will think about having your students complete an activity that takes 6 weeks. I use 6 weeks as your time frame because that is how long the grading period is for LISD. Oddly my daughters charter school has gone to a 9 week system.

I will go over this in more detail next class. This will still give you 2 weeks to complete it, but you might want to go ahead and start thinking about what you want to do. You can build on what you already have if you choose to do so.

I will also break you into 3 groups of 3 because I want you to create a work of art that is based on one of the lesson plans in Making Art Together. Many teachers have not created or taught a collaborative lesson, so I thought it would help to ask you all to create something. After discussion in class on Monday I would like to finish discussing lesson plans, but then you will all have the chance to work on your collaborative art project. We can hang them up somewhere after you all finish.

If you have any questions let me know.
