Eric Parr NAEA Lesson Plan


NAEA Lesson/Unit Plan Template

Name: Eric Parr        
     

School:  Wilson Elementary, Crandall Independent School District
     

Lesson/Unit Title: Taking Your Art Out of the Landfill
     

Lesson/Unit Overview: We will taking our artwork to the next level by making it personal. This lesson will teach the students to invest their lives not only in their artwork but much more because creativity must not be limited to the classroom and two and three-dimensional artwork.      
 
Grade Level: Intermediate Elementary (3-5)      

Media Type: All Types
     

Duration: 6 weeks with 50 min. Class periods / I will see students three times a week.

Entry Point For Generating Lesson/Unit Ideas: Create in students the idea that creativity and investing themselves is something that can permeate all points of their lives. The starting point is artwork.

Artwork/Artists: All great artists who invested themselves in their work, but what works great are those who went against the current because they believed in their work. Faith Ringold,  Andy Wharhol, Pablo Picasso, Van Gogh, Barbara Kruger
           
Media: Watercolor, colored pencil, acrylic paint and collage, sharpie,
     
           
Subject Matter: Landscape, Most influencal person/ Role Model, Worldview
     
           
Concepts: Art concepts, process concepts, historical concepts, etc.
           
Examples of Art Concepts:
o      Unity can be achieved by the way line, shape, color, texture, and form are arranged in a composition.
o      Shades can be achieved with the same color
o      Variety can be achieved by line variation
o      Unity can be achieved with random shapes
           
Examples of Process Concepts:
o      A landscape can be done with one continual line: contour
o      A portrait can be done with one color in multiple shades (mono-chromatic)
o      Abstract work can represent ideas and feelings that everything can grasp.
o      Symbols and Motifs can be represented with a single object 

            Examples of Historical Concepts:
o      Artists use models
o      Artists use sketchbooks to record ideas and formulate plans
o      Modern artists experiment with new mediums that best translate their idea
o      Artwork should be personal and reflect a part of the artist         
     

Enduring Ideas: Creativity is the idea that a person can input their life into any part of their life, especially artwork.
           
Examples of Enduring Ideas:
o      Creativity is a mindset
o      Good Artwork is loved but not by all
o      Artwork is Enduring and Universal         
     

Theme: Our projects will represent what is important to the students

Examples of Themes in Art:
o      Artists as Lunatics
o      Art and Philosophy
o      Humanity in Art
     

Rationale: Because Children matter, one day they will be in our shoes and others in theirs thus they must be invested in with life lessons; not just simple knowledge like how to make a color wheel. If we teach a child how to use a hammer but not that he can use it to the benefit of his neighbor how will the houses of all the rest be built?
      

Objectives:

Examples of Objective(s) for Student Reflection:
o      Students will share results of their critiques


Assessment:
·      In class progress 50%
·      Self Assessment done as a class with critique and self assessment forms. Before the project starts the students will write down what they hope to accomplish and judge themselves on what and how they performed 25%
·      Final Project Assessment 25%
     

Assessing student products:  Summative assessments that measure the application of skills, media, and art concepts in a product generated as a result of the lesson.

Examples of Assessing Student Products:
The final projects demonstrate
o      Thought
o      That student cared about how they were presented to the world
o      emphasis through the use of a specific color scheme
