Timeline for Lesson: a week
and a half
Activity/Procedure:
1. I will Present the
project, the artistic terms, and show a couple of examples of different
graffiti that is appropriate for our use. The class will look at murals in
local communities and internationally. They will go home with a handout of what
they will be learning and they will have another paper with Vocabulary words to
look over.
2. Students will get their
sketchbooks out and practice designing their names and keep that sketch as a
guide for their real paperboard.
3. Students are presented with a black poster
board (22X28). Students will draw out their designed names with pencil then
they will pick 5 colors of chalk to start coloring in their letters.
4. Students will have a whole week and three days to finish up project and the following day the students will turn in the project to be graded. I will spray their work with a clear coating to keep the chalk drawing from smearing.
Assessments (objective or subjective):
1. Did Students put an effort
to create a design of their names in their own way?
2. Did the student fill
enough space to get their designs message through?
Future Considerations/Notes: Turn this project into a partial field trip?
