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.
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:

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?
