5th Grade Lesson Plan

This lesson plan is for a 5th grade visual arts class where students will work on landscapes they began the previous week. They will learn about warm and cool colors and use them to add contrast to their landscapes, applying their knowledge of painting techniques with tempera cakes. The teacher will assess students' understanding of contrasting colors before having them work independently on their landscapes, providing guidance and feedback as they work. By the end of the lesson, students should have enhanced their landscapes with contrasting warm and cool colors, demonstrating their learning throughout the unit.

Teaching Procedure:
Beginning
Start the day by greeting students in the hallway and giving them directions for
the day. This will include having them get out their work from last week. Once in
the room, we will recap the information learned last week and go over the “I can”
statement for today. We will learn about contrast and warm/cool colors. I will
then allow students to get their supplies for today (paint, water, brushes).
Middle
Once students have their supplies, they will begin working on the next step of
their landscapes. During this time, I will walk around the room and ask students
about the choices they are making with their art. This is the time to make sure
students are on track with the success criteria and catch up any students that may
be behind.
End
I will end the day by having students go through clean up tasks and put their
paintings on the drying rack. All students are incharge of their own paintings.
Certain students will have specific jobs such as washing brushes, refilling water
containers, and stacking paint trays. All students will then work in their table
groups to get their folder returned and their table wiped down. Clean and quiet
tables will then be called to line up. Once everyone is lined up the class will be
dismissed.
