Cobb Lesson2revised

This lesson plan outlines teaching a student named Lee Ann how to create realistic artwork from photographs in two mediums - pencil drawing and painting. The student requested this lesson and will bring in photographs of volcanoes. Key understandings are that there is more than one way to create artwork and inspiration can come from reality. Outcomes include the student being able to translate a photo onto paper and canvas using different techniques like the grid method. Assessment will judge how well the student shows understanding by improving upon drawings from life. Safety precautions like aprons will be taken for the painting. The lesson is tailored to the student's specific request and interest in accurately recreating a personal photo.

Service Learning Lesson Plan

Title: Art from photographs


18
Lesson Idea and
Relevance: What are
you going to teach and why
is this lesson of importance
to your students? How is it
relevant to students of this
age and background?

Class/Date: 2/Feb.

I will teach Lee Ann how to paint and do a pencil drawing in a realistic style
based on a photograph. This is relevant because she actually requested
this. She wants to bring in photographs of volcanoes and do realistic
renditions of them in two separate mediums.

Essential Understanding (s): What are the big ideas?

Essential Question (s): What provocative questions will foster

What specific understandings about them are desired?

inquiry, understanding, and transfer of learning?

1. There is more than one way to create one


product.
2. Inspiration can be drawn from reality.

1. Why is it important to have more than one way of


obtaining the outcome?
2. Is it important to have the ability of doing
something in more than one way?

Outcomes - Students will know...What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit? ...Art history and culture;
expressive features and characteristics of art; art materials, tools, and techniques? What should they eventually be able to do as a result of such
knowledge and skill? ...Compare and contrast art work; analyze sketches?

Students will be able to


Using two separate mediums, the student will know how to translate the same photo onto paper and canvas.
Using the grid method, the student will understand how to copy an image in a realistic way onto paper using
graphite.
Given a graphite pencil, the student will be able to find new ways of creating lines and textures in the realistic
drawing.
Using multiple brush sizes, the student will be able to find new ways of creating lines and textures in their
photographic painting.
Using their finished artwork, the student will be able to critique their own work by verbalizing the differences and
similarities between the two.
Student Reflective Activity: Through what authentic
performance task(s) will students demonstrate the desired
understandings? How will students reflect upon and self-assess their
learning?

My student will be able to demonstrate the


understandings through the exercises of drawing from
life and her final work by looking at the references in
comparison to her final work.
I will have a critique. Nothing too formal, just a couple of
questions:
- Is this the product you wanted?
- If you could change something what would you
change?
- What is your favorite part about the work?
- How close to the original photograph is your

Assessment Instrument (s):

By what criteria will


performances of understanding be judged?

The understanding will be judged by how she shows her


understanding. If she draws an orange from life one
way and then we talk about how to improve it and she
draws the same orange, then there is no improvement,
but if she adds in shading and form, then I can see how
she adapted what techniques Ive taught her into a
cohesive work that derives from real life.
I will have her address those questions she will gain a
better understanding through those questions. If there
isnt much of a connection for her with the inquiries, I
would point to different parts of the piece that she thinks

composition?

looks just like the photo and why.

Pre-assessment:

How will you help the students know where the unit is going and what is expected? Help the teacher know where the
students are coming from (prior knowledge, interests)?

She already knows how to paint on canvas. Last week she showed me how to mix paints to get colors
this week we will branch off of that to get specific in the coloring. She doesnt have much experience
with graphite according to her so I plan on working more in depth with that aspect of the lesson.
Motivation:

How will you hook all students and hold their interest?

Lee Ann is bringing in her own photographs that she


wants to recreate in her work of a trip that she took to
Hawaii a year ago and is still very much enamored by
her experiences there. This will give her an incentive to
capture the likeness of something so close to her and
hopefully motivate her to do her very best.

Ideation:

How will you equip students, help them experience the key
ideas, and explore the issues to generate ideas for their art work?

I will show some basics of drawing from life, like setting


up a small still life or having her draw just one thing from
life and the techniques involved including shading,
highlights, and how to measure angles for proximity.
Ive found it really easy to generate questions when I
relate it back to her interests, especially her trip to
Hawaii. So I can ask questions on that topic and use it
as an idea generator as well as a motivator.

Procedures:

How is the lesson organized to maximize initial and sustained engagement as well as effective learning? Provide opportunities
to rethink and revise their understandings and work? Allow students to evaluate their work and its implications? Include literacy and numeracy?

I will show her the basics of drawing from life.


o Bring in a fruit to draw contour lines
o Teach her about shading techniques (shade/stipple/crosshatch)
o Teach about light and what that means for objects and their shadows (use cell light
to make one part brightest and have more clear shadow)
We will then transfer that knowledge into her photograph, and then on paper.
I will teach her the importance of thinking of the world as just a bunch of shapes and
lines.
I will periodically ask her questions of how its going, whether she sees the two as the
same or if she could improve somewhere in her rendition of the photo.

Materials and Resources: What is needed to complete the learning plan? List materials and resources in a bulleted format.

Canvas
Large piece of paper
Pencils
Paint
Paint brushes
Still life set up (random things from my room/purse)

Sketch book

Preparation and Safety:

What do you need to prepare for this experience? What safety issues need to be addressed? List steps of
preparation and safety in a bulleted format.

Prepared canvas (gesso and stretched)


Apron for paint mess
Newsprint to avoid mess

Accommodations:

How is the lesson tailored (personalized) to the different needs, interests, and abilities of learners? ...Access (Resources
and/or Process) and Expression (Products and/or Performance)?

This is tailored to Lee Anns needs because this is a specific lesson she asked me to teach her.
It has to do with a skill she would like to learn while keeping her interest with a personal photo of
hers that she would like to reproduce. She would like the product to be identical to the
photograph so she will learn the processes that are made to get you as close as you can to the
same.
