Plans, effective instruction and an effective learning environment
Rationale
The first lesson I taught in Mrs. Harris's Class was on color theory including a print making demo on how to ink and print a relief linoleum block. The students had just started a printmaking project that included cutting a design out of a linoleum block, having a total of 15 different prints, choosing a specific color scheme and finally assembling the prints in a pattern. The class is also as mentioned is a level one art class and the class focus is on the foundations of art. Before the printmaking project students created a color wheel to begin understanding the basics of color and as a pre-activity leading up to working and learning about color theory and schemes. As a lesson to introduce color theory to an intro to design class they need to understand the importance and impact of color in a work art. The lesson introduces the science behind color, how people view color and goes from there to introduce color theory, how it can be used in works of art to covey emotions and ideas. There are many example of famous works of art that incorporate color theories/schemes that are prime examples of how color changes a work of art. Following lesson will incorporate this knowledge when students are required to use color theory as a element of their project. |

Rationale For the past three weeks the students have been creating relief prints that focus a specific color scheme and assemble them in a pattern that works directly with their color theme. In this lesson the students will have a critique for their print project. At the end of each completed project a formative assessment in this case a class critique is used to check for understanding, reinforce concepts, practice talking about works of art and giving and getting feedback and help generate ideas for future projects or applications in other areas. I will be using the 1234 critique, this is a pre-activity that involves walking around and generating ideas before speaking as a group about their and others artwork. This could create a safer speaking environment because they had time and thought about what they would like to say. I will also provide guiding questions to help students talking about their personal work and peers work. |
