Lesson Plan Title: Digital Surrealism Painting Length: 2 weeks/ 3 weeks Grade: 9-12th

Note: Before you plan and write art experiences; pre-assess your students based on the proposed concepts, enduring understandings, and objectives of the unit/lesson(s). You may also gather this information from (previous) teachers, by reviewing already completed artwork, consulting curriculum materials, etc., to get a better understanding of what content students already know and what they will need to know to be successful.

Pre-Assessment: This will need to be done prior to teaching your lesson. Outline the method you will use to determine the skill/knowledge level of your students based on the concepts/enduring understandings/objectives of the lesson. (Hint: turn these into questions.) Be specific in describing what you would recognize as proficient skill/knowledge.

Characteristic Activity IN GROUPS OF 2-3! You will be looking for characteristics in each painting! When the painting is shown decide & look at the options and answer as a group on kahoot!

a. realistic items that have been used out-of-place b. unreal scenes c. normal objects acting abnormally d. fantastic creatures E. none of the above

You will also have a question to answer as a group! On a sticky note!

Pretend you are inside this painting. What does it feel like?

What questions do you have about this art?

What do you think is worth remembering about this painting?

What questions would you ask the artist about this work, if s/he were here?

What do you think is good about this painting? What is not so good?

What things do you recognize in this painting? What things seem new to you?

What title would you give to this painting?

Performance: What will students accomplish as a result of this lesson? This can be presented to students in the form of a story. In this narrative the students take on a role and create a learning product about a specific topic for a certain audience. (RAFT – Role / Audience / Format / Topic)

The students will be creating a digital painting. The students will be going through how to start 2d on pen and paper and then draw in a program called artrage.

● During this class students will be introduced to surrealism and how to get ideas to create a digital painting of their artwork!

Concepts: List the big ideas students will be introduced to in the lesson. These ideas are universal, timeless and transferrable. Examples of concepts used in art might include: Composition, Patterns, Technique, Rhythm, Paradox, Influence, Style, Force, Culture, Space/Time/Energy, Line, Law/Rules, Value, Expressions, Emotions, Tradition, Symbol, Movement, Shape, Improvisation, and Observation Look for concepts in the standards, content specific curriculum, etc.

Collaboration Influence Observation Culture Talking with others

Enduring Understanding (s): Enduring Understandings show a relationship between two or more concepts; connected with an active verb. The best enduring understandings not only link two or more concepts; but demonstrate why this relationship is important. Like concepts, they are timeless, transferrable and universal. Artist and Designers observe and talk with others to collaborate when talking about art. Artist and Designers influence each other when they collaborate.

Standards: (All lessons should address all standards.) 1. Observe and Learn to Comprehend 2. Envision and Critique to Reflect 3. Invent and Discover to Create 4. Relate and Connect to Transfer

Objectives/Outcomes/Learning Targets: Objectives describe a learning experience with a condition → behavior (measurable) → criterion. Aligned to: Bloom’s – Standards – GLEs - Art learning and, when appropriate, Numeracy, Literacy and Technology. Should be written as: Objective. (Bloom’s: _____ - Standard: _____ - GLE: _____ -Art learning: _____ -Numeracy, Literacy, and/or Technology) Given contemporary artist examples SWBAT construct their own answers about surrealist paintings. Blooms: Create

2

Standard: Comprehend, Reflect GLE: Visual art has inherent characteristics and expressive features., Interpretation is a means for understanding and evaluating works of art. Art Learning: Art History/Contemporary artist, aesthetics/ transfer Given materials ideas SWBAT combine 2-3 pictures into a creature or a thing to help represent surrealism. Blooms: Create Standard: Create GLE: Demonstrate competency in traditional and new art media, and apply appropriate and available technology for the expression of ideas. Art Learning: Expressive features and characteristics of art Given an ideation sheet SWBAT choose nouns, places, verbs that gives ideas to the ideation sheet and by filling out the ideation sheet. Blooms: Create Standard: Transfer GLE: Communication through advanced visual methods is a necessary skill in everyday life. Art Learning: Conceptual-Ideation and Expressive features Literacy

Differentiation: Explain specifically how you have addressed the needs of exceptional students at both end of the skill and cognitive scale. Describe the strategies you will use for students who are already proficient and need growth beyond what you have planned for the rest of the class, as well as modifications for students with physical and/or cognitive challenges. Students must still meet the objectives.

Differentiation: (Multiple means for students to access content and multiple modes for student to express understanding.)

Access (Resources and/or Process) Expression (Products and/or Performance)

Have the powerpoint online for able to access. Have someone else write in the group. Allow student to cut out drawings and glue together.

Smaller groups gives everyone a chance to talk and give input in to what the artwork means.

Extensions for depth and complexity: Access (Resources and/or Process) Expression (Products and/or Performance)

Take more than 3 pictures to put together a drawing.

Literacy: List terms (vocabulary) specific to the topic that students will be introduced to in the lesson and describe how literacy is integrated into the lesson.

● Surrealism ● Writing and reading for Kahoot and Sticky notes

Quick History of Surrealism

● artistic movement that developed in the 1920s and continued through the 1960s.

● influenced by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud’s theories of the struggle in the human mind between the conscious and the unconscious.

● Surrealists often used art and word games to access the subconscious, their dreams, and their inner selves.

“Planning Sketch: In my dream I met a girl who had a pet hummingbird. The girl was a pilot and was wearing aviation goggles. She was wearing a choker around her neck with a key to her airplane. There were feathers connected to the back of her choker, they were fanned out like a peacocks feathers as a symbol of flight. The girl was sad and her pet hummingbird was helping to soak up the tears running down her face. Her wingman had died it a plane crash. The skull in the background is a symbol if him watching over her back to make sure she is safe. The clouds are a symbol of the sky the place she feels most at home.” Learning Target & Success Criteria TODAY’S LEARNING TARGET IS:

I can brainstorm and plan out my ideas.

SUCCESS CRITERIA

This means I can work through different ideas and problem solve to combine ideas together to make an interesting compositions.

Post-Assessment (teacher-centered/objectives as questions): Have students achieved the objectives and grade level expectations specified in your lesson plan?

Post-Assessment Instrument: How well have students achieved the objectives and grade level expectations specified in your lesson plan? Include your rubric, checklist, rating scale, etc.

Can students construct their own answers about surrealist paintings? Can students combine 2-3 pictures into a creature or a thing to help represent surrealism? Can students choose nouns, places, verbs that gives ideas to the ideation sheet and by filling out the ideation sheet?

Students construct their own answers about surrealist paintings

● 4: Creates a full sticky note of answers ● 3: Uses everyone at the table to create answers ● 2: Doesn’t give input but listens in ● 1: Does Not interact

Students combine 2-3 pictures into a creature or a thing to help represent surrealism.

● 4: 4 or more pictures that they combined to create a creature or thing ● 3: combine 2-3 pictures into a creature or a thing to help represent surrealism ● 2: Only draws one ● 1: Doesn’t create a creature or thing and combine anything

Students choose nouns, places, verbs that gives ideas to the ideation sheet and by filling out the ideation sheet.

● 4: Fills out the ideations sheet extremely well. ● 3: Fills out the ideations sheet mostly ● 2: Barely fills out the ideation sheet

15

● 1: Doesn’t use the ideation sheet

Self-Reflection: After the lesson is concluded write a brief reflection of what went well, what surprised you, and what you would do differently. Specifically address: (1) To what extent were lesson objectives achieved? (Utilize assessment data to justify your level of achievement.) (2) What changes, omissions, or additions to the lesson would you make if you were to teach again? (3)What do you envision for the next lesson? (Continued practice, reteach content, etc.)

This lesson went really well co-teaching. What I would change would be stressing the practice digital painting. It would not be turn it. It is just for practice. I would also love to make this multimedia and see if students would like to make this artwork more dimensional. But students did really well with this assignment.
