Georgia O'Keefe ExperienceArt Production Experience Reflection
I can document and reflect upon the mini-lessons and art production experiences I completed this semester in ITE 326, Visual Arts, Elementary. I can create a title for this art experience: Baby Strawberry I can describe the instructional strategies used as a motivation for creating my own work of art: Students will find or take a close up photo of a flower and create a water colored painting using different water color painting techniques. I can cite a HCPS III in the Visual Arts and the Benchmark I feel this lesson meets: Benchmark FA.DP.1.2Demonstrate an understanding of wet media such as ink, watercolor, tempera, acrylics, and mixed media Benchmark FA.DP.1.3Demonstrate proper care and conservation of tools, materials, and equipment used in drawing and painting Benchmark FA.DP.2.1Demonstrate understanding of the elements of art and principles of design when creating original works of art Benchmark FA.DP.2.2Apply techniques, processes, and media to achieve a specific visual effect or intended meaning in an original work of art (e.g., to create the illusion of depth or to portray three dimensional space on a two dimensional surface) I can list the materials I used: •watercolor paper •paint brushes of different sizes •watercolors •paper towels •black paper to glue and mount finish product I can reflect on my personal involvement in the creative process during this art experience, and how I would inspire my students to feel positive about this experience: Students would be able to go out and capture an up-close photo of a flower and then come back to the class and recreate it through a painting. Through this project, students will be able to learn different types of painting styles and how it creates different textures and creates a different type of dimensions. I can modify this experience to provide art instruction for different grade levels. List 2-3 ways: •You could use this to lesson to have students paint a photo of a flowers in the different life stages! Have students pay attention to fine detail, and paint an up-close photo of each stage. I would recommend this for maybe 2nd-3rd grade. •For younger grades, maybe you could have students practice painting in a template, just to have them exposed to watercolors in the beginning. I can list 2-3 different ways to integrate other subject matter into this lesson: • You could turn this into a language arts lesson and have students write about the piece that they have just created. • You could also turn this into a science lesson, where students study a plant's life cycle and then paint they different stages of the life cycle. You could break that class up into groups to focus on one stage each, or have everyone do the whole life cycle individually. I can list 2-3 teaching skills that I can use as a teacher from this lesson. • Group teaching • Modeling instructions |
