Arts & Humanities Lesson Plan Teacher Name: Mrs. Schuette Lesson Dates: August 30 September 9 Grade Level Lesson Title I Can Statement Kindergarten Elements of Art: Shape I can build art-making skills while exploring materials. VA:Cr1.1.K Engage in exploration and Pre-cut shapes imaginative play with materials. Glue sticks VA:Cr2.1.K Through experimentation, build Construction paper for background skills in various media and approaches to Mats for play-dough art-making. VA:Cr2.2.K Identify safe and non-toxic art materials, tools, and equipment. VA:Cr3.1.K Explain the process of making art while creating. Play-Dough Students will be starting to look at a different element of art, shape. To introduce shapes students will watch a short video about shapes from our Arts & Humanities curriculum. We will then talk about how shapes are all around us. Students will then learn what geometric shapes are and we will practice drawing and naming them. After we discuss geometric shapes, students will receive a play-dough mat with shapes on it. They will use the play dough to make the shapes. After we practice different shapes, students will see the artwork they will be creating. Before we start creating our dinosaur collages they will hear a story about a dinosaur. I will show students different dinosaurs from our story and show them how they can make them with their geometric shapes. Once students are finished we will assess our artwork using a grade appropriate rubric.
First Grade Elements of Art: Shape I can explore uses of materials safely and use art vocabulary while creating VA:Cr1.1.1 Engage collaboratively in Q-tips exploration and imaginative play with Paint materials. Plates for paint VA:Cr2.1.1 Explore uses of materials and Pre-cut string Pencils tools to create works of art or design. Colored pencils VA:Cr2.2.1 Demonstrate safe and Background drawing paper proper procedures for using materials, tools, and equipment while making art. VA:Cr3.1.1 Use art vocabulary to describe choices while creating art. Students will be starting to look at a different element of art, shape. To introduce shapes students will watch a short video about shapes from our Arts & Humanities curriculum. We will then talk about how shapes are all around us. We will review what geometric shapes are and practice geometric shapes with q-tips and paint. Once students are reminded of geometric shapes, we will talk about free-form shapes (shapes that don t resemble anything). We will then read Jeremy Draws a Monster by Peter McCarty. Students will then be lead through a monster drawing where they will first receive a piece of string that they will have to lay on their paper and create a free-form shape with. Once they create their shape they will then trace the shape onto their paper and turn it into a monster, like in our story. Once students are finished we will assess our artwork using a grade appropriate rubric.
Second Grade Elements of Art: Shape I can make art using curiosity to experiment with materials and use art vocabulary to describe my VA:Cr1.2.2 Make art or design with various Black construction paper materials and tools to explore personal interests, questions, and curiosity. VA:Cr2.1.2 Experiment with various materials and tools to explore personal interests in a work of art or design. VA:Cr2.2.2 Demonstrate safe procedures for using and cleaning art tools, equipment, and studio spaces. VA:Cr3.1.2 Discuss and reflect with peers about choices made in creating VA:Re9.1.2 Use learned art vocabulary to express preferences about ½ Sheets of green, blue and purple construction paper Students will begin the lesson by being introduced to the three types of shapes (geometric, free-form and organic). They will then have to help sort shapes into correct categories using the Promethean board. After we discuss different types of shapes, students will watch a short video where they will get to see different types of shapes in famous pieces of Once students have reviewed the different types of shapes, they will be shown the artwork they will get to create. We will also discuss what positive and negative space is. Students will have the option of creating a piece using freeform, geometric and organic shapes. Once their artwork is complete they will complete a reflection about the different types of shapes they used.
Third Grade Elements of Art: Shape I can use an imaginative idea to create artwork by applying known art-making skills safely. VA:Cr1.1.3 Elaborate on an imaginative idea. Pre-cut triangles & rectangles VA:Cr1.2.3 Apply knowledge of available Markers resources, tools, and technologies to investigate personal ideas through the artmaking process. VA:Cr2.1.3 Create personally satisfying artwork using a variety of artistic processes and materials. VA:Cr2.2.3 Demonstrate an understanding of the safe and proficient use of materials, tools, and equipment for a variety of artistic processes. Crayons Students will begin the lesson by reviewing the three types of shapes (geometric, free-form and organic). They will then have to help sort shapes into correct categories using the Promethean board. After we discuss different types of shapes, students will watch a short video where they will get to see different types of shapes in famous pieces of Once students review the different types of shapes they will get to create a lava lamp picture using geometric shapes to make the lava lamp and free-form shapes in the background and as the lava. Students will assess their work through a grade appropriate rubric once their art is completed.
Fourth Grade Elements of Art: Shape I can create purposeful artwork while exploring artmaking techniques. VA:Cr1.2.4 Collaboratively set goals and Ice-cream cone template create artwork that is meaningful and has Drawing paper purpose to the makers. Tissue paper VA:Cr2.1.4 Explore and invent art-making Pom-Poms techniques and approaches. Glitter glue VA:Cr2.2.4 When making works of art, utilize and care for materials, tools, and equipment in a manner that prevents danger to oneself and others. VA:Cr3.1.4 Revise artwork in progress on the basis of insights gained through peer discussion. Crayons Students will begin the lesson by reviewing the three types of shapes (geometric, free-form and organic). They will then have to help sort shapes into correct categories using the Promethean board. After we discuss different types of shapes, students will watch a short video where they will get to see different types of shapes in famous pieces of Once students review the different types of shapes they will get to create a mixed-media picture of an ice-cream cone using geometric shapes to make the background and the cone and freeform shapes to create the scoops. Students will assess their work through a grade appropriate rubric once their art is completed.
Fifth Grade Elements of Art: Shape I can use innovative ideas to develop skills in art-making techniques while demonstrating quality craftsmanship. VA:Cr1.1.5 Combine ideas to generate an Screens (30) innovative idea for art-making. VA:Cr1.2.5 Identify and demonstrate diverse Plastic containers to catch draining water (7) methods of artistic investigation to choose Cookie cutters (30) an approach for beginning a work of art.
