Protest PieceArt 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: Putting the Pieces Together. I can describe the instructional strategies used as a motivation for creating my own work of art: We created a poster which states a protest that we strongly want to express. You can motivate your students to have them create this piece by telling them to create a poster to get a message across without talking. I can cite a HCPS III in the Visual Arts and the Benchmark I feel this lesson meets: FA.DP.2.3 Identify symbols, themes, and metaphors and produce original works of art to communicate an opinion, an idea, or an issue I feel like this meets the benchmark, because we did use symbols to try to communicate an opinion and issue. I can list the materials I used: • large paper • Sharpie pen • Pencil & Eraser • Crayons • Colored pencils • Cray Pas 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: You can inspire students by having them come up with a message or topic that they feel strongly about. Ask students to come up with the point that they want their message to say. Then have students draw to create a piece that goes along with their message that they chose. Didn't someone once say, "A picture is worth a thousand words."? I can modify this experience to provide art instruction for different grade levels. List 2-3 ways: 1- For younger studnets, you could already have a message, and students would have to draw their interpretation of the message. 2- For older students students I would want to give them a controversial topic where they would either have to agree or disagree. Then have them create a piece that expresses what side they chose. I can list 2-3 different ways to integrate other subject matter into this lesson: 1- You could turn this into a social studies piece and have students go over a controversial topic, like either persuade to let Columbus sail or to not let Columbus sail. 2- You could also turn this into a Language Arts piece and have students practice how to write a persuasive essay. I can list 2-3 teaching skills that I can use as a teacher from this lesson. 1- Modeling instructions 2- Teaching about how to persuade |
