STUDENTS' WORK

Lesson Plan

Ryan Brennifleck and Eliana Litos

  • Visit 7-10 separate and unique locations and take a variety of photos using different lighting techniques

  • Asses and group your photos based on their composition and aesthetic

  • Assemble photos into a meaningful digital collage using 2-3 different blending techniques

  • Present your creation including details about the shots included and their relation to others

Allows students to explore and compare different compositions, forming associations between them

Students will be assessed by their ability to group like compositions and the quality of their original shots

 

Lesson Plan

KINDERGARTEN LESSON PLAN 

 Natalie Vestergon, Jenna Yesenosky, Bayley Macnamara

Component: Aesthetic and Critical Inquiry 

Objective: Identifying Shapes 

Competency: The student knows the difference between an original work of art and are production 

1.Start class by playing a video to familiarize students with visual the components of the difference between the shapes. 

2.Get them to meet Pete the Kitty, if they relate to a character it will make them more inclined to want to learn and pay attention.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDKNVuu_TAs 

3.Demonstrate drawing different shapes on the board and ask the class to name each shape 

4.Pass out paper and crayons and ask the class to mimic the shapes you had just drawn on the board on their own paper 

5.Introduce a cube-shaped, puzzle-like game in which the students can put circle, square and triangle pegs into the correct holes. 

Offer assistance to students if they struggle.This creates an association between their original work of art (which may not be perfect)and the reproduction of the shapes as pegs. 

6.If the students seem to be excelling past this activity, ask them to create a picture made of basic shapes and then explain the drawing. Ex: This stoplight is created by one rectangle and 3 circles.

Lesson Plan

Creative Photography 1 (grades 6-8)

Component: IV Personal Development

Objective: Visits a local museum and analyzes its cultural, social, and economic role  (VA.E.1.3.3)

Competency: The student understands how knowledge, skills and attitude gained from visual arts can enhance and deepen understanding for life (VA.E.1.3.1)

Activity:

Students assigned to a certain type of art (in groups) and will do research before the visit on that art form. On their trip (or virtual), students will find a piece of art or a collection that matches that specific type of art. They will take detailed notes of the art, artists and art form.

Assessment:

Students are individually asked to create a piece of art based on their form and their observations, which will include an explanation of their individual pieces and how it relates to them. Students will be given a holistic rubric on the requirements for the assessment.

Drawing: Outdated Theory

  Article: Drawing on an Outdated Theory?  by Jess Dorn It is sometimes said that our brain consists of a left hemisphere that excels in intellectual, rational, verbal, and analytical thinking and a right hemisphere that excels in sensory discrimination and in emotional, nonverbal, and intuitive thinking. However, in the normal brain, with extensive commissural interconnections, the interaction of the two hemispheres is such that we cannot dissociate clearly their specialized functions. Questions 1. Why do so many children have problems with drawing? 2. What is Edward's theory? Explain 3. Why is the theory more of a useful analogy at this point?

Collage: The Ethnosphere

Image
  The class will be introduced to National Geographic's Explorer Wade Davis who teaches about what calls the ethnosphere, a word he uses to describe  the imaginative contributions of humanity to the planet. He makes emphasis on people's stories. They are global resources, just like air, water, and green life.  Just like the biosphere, the ethnosphere is also  threatened by rampant modernization and globalization.  ACTIVITY Collage Collage is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Given the materials given in class (National Geographic magazines), create a group collage. After experiencing the activity, plan a lesson with your group members. Sources Tales of the Ethnosphere.
