Lesson Plan 1: Texture and Color
Thursday October 19th, 2023
Teacher:Trinity
Lesson Overview
BIG IDEA
Color and Texture
DESCRIPTION
For this lesson, students will be exploring color theory and its interaction with three-dimensional texture. This lesson will explore skills of building, cutting, and painting on cardboard and creating 3-dimensional textured pieces which will be incorporated into the next lesson which will continue on the same big idea of color and texture.
ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING
The big idea for this project is to have students use their sensory skills such as touch using cardboard, ripping it to create texture, paint, scissors, and glue to explore 3-dimensional abstract art. his lesson we will be going over texture and bring in cardboard to show everything we can do with it. The students
will be instructed to use cardboard to cut out shapes and rip them apart to show all their different textures to then build a structure. Bringing in sand
paper as well to add texture to the piece really just playing around to see all the different textures that can be made.
INTENDED OUTCOMES
-Students will be able to learn more about color theory by listening to the teachers’ introduction.
- Students will analyze the different shapes that they are able to cut out of cardboard while being able to practice safe scissor skills.
- Students will be able to connect the different cardboard shapes to make a structure that will be used in a later project.
- Students will be able to feel and deconstruct cardboard to reveal its underlying texture.
- Students will be able to take sandpaper of different grits and use this supply to add texture to cardboard.
SKILLS / TECHNIQUES
-Students will use various materials like cardboard, folded paper, and paint to create three-dimensional art.
-Students will learn how to use hot glue guns to join different materials to create three-dimensional art
VOCABULARY
-Color Theory
-Three-Dimensional Art
-Texture
-Mark Making
DOCUMENTATION
OVERVIEW
For this lesson, students will be exploring cardboard and other materials like paper and paint to create 3-dimensional art.
TEACHER EXAMPLE
ENGAGEMENT
All the students engaged actively in the lesson even including the shy ones who normally do not participate much. Students enjoyed the process of ripping cardboard and creating their own shapes and textures. Initially, they were a bit hesitant because there were no set instructions off to this is exactly how you have to make it but once they understood that they had the freedom to make their own versions of the teacher's example they all got excited and started creating. We were excited to get to know they're different students, their personalities, likes and dislikes and we catered to them according to their interests and skill sets.
WHAT WENT WELL
· Providing students, the freedom to create based on their interests and not just copying the teacher's example was very helpful in allowing creativity and imagination to flow throughout the whole class.
· Having prepared all the materials in advance and having enough space between all the participants to allow free movement and clear instruction allowed the participants to not feel confused and enjoy the lesson.
· Teachers having previous experience with working with autistic students and having close friends who have learning disabilities worked to the advantage of the smooth delivery of the lesson.
IMPROVEMENTS
· Providing students with more art supplies on individual tables so that they do not have to go back and forth would be a good idea for the next class.
Make sure that the student example is visible to all tables so that they clearly understand what the expectations are.
Providing some relaxing music for the class will also be helpful to reduce stress and anxiety in case it builds up.
I would like to give more time to other tables as well and for about I'm not just spending time with one group more than the other.
Better understanding of adaptive techniques to help our students improve their artistic abilities.
