TKES 1, 2, 3,4,5, 8,10

Standard/s: 

VAHSDR.CR.1 Visualize and generate ideas for creating works of art. 

a. Develop work through open-ended inquiry, consideration of multiple options, weighing consequences, and assessing results. 

b. Investigate and research various themes, interests, materials, and methods. 

VAHSVA.CR.2 Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan and create works of art. 

VAHSVA.CR.3 Engage in an array of processes, media, techniques, and technology through experimentation, practice, and persistence. 

a. Demonstrate a variety of skills and techniques for two-dimensional and three dimensional works of art.

b. Demonstrate quality craftsmanship through proper care and use of tools, materials, and equipment. c. Utilize and care for materials, tools, and equipment in a safe and appropriate manner. 

VAHSDR.CR.4 Incorporate formal and informal components to create works of art. 

a. Use planning approaches (e.g. thumbnail sketches, viewfinders, sighting methods to develop compositions for drawing). 

b. Apply compositional design concepts (e.g. elements and principles, activating negative space, visual weight, rule of thirds, color theories). 

VAHSDR.CR.5 Reflect on, revise, and refine works of art considering relevant traditional and contemporary practices as well as artistic ideation. 

a. Explore ideas and methods reflected in the way current culture(s) defines and uses art. 

b. Document processes which support works of art through personal research, reflection, and collaboration. 

Learning Target:

I can generate artistic ideas and works through the process of conceptualization

I can consider multiple options, weigh consequences and assess the results of each decision

I can practice the artistic process through brainstorming and planning to create art

I can apply compositional concepts (elements and principles of design

I can reflect on, revise, and refine works of art considering relevant traditional and contemporary practices as well as artistic ideation.

I can make choices from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan and create works of art. 

I can engage in an array of processes, media, techniques, and technology through experimentation, practice, and persistence. 

Success Criteria:

I  visualized and generated ideas for works of art through a creativity exercise

I considered multiple options, weight consequences and assessed the results of my creative options

I practiced the artistic process of conceptualizing, planning and applying design concepts

I reflected on, revised, and refined works of art considering relevant traditional and contemporary practices as well as artistic ideation.

I made informed choices from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan and create works of art. 

I engaged in an array of processes, media, techniques, and technology through experimentation, practice, and persistence. 

Introduction/Connection: 

Review the following terms

Creativity - the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work.: "firms are keen to encourage creativity"

Medium - refers to the materials that are used to create a work of art.

Technique - a skillful or efficient way of doing or achieving something

Thumbnail Sketches - are drawing quick, abbreviated drawings. Usually, they are done very rapidly and with no corrections - you can use any medium, though pen or pencil is the most common. Thumbnails are usually very small.

Elements of Design -  are the content of most art activities: they include color, line, value, texture, shape, form, and space.  The elements of design are the raw materials of an artist – the visual components of art.

Principles of Design - the guidelines for organizing the elements. They include the balance, harmony, contrast, pattern, movement, emphasis, and unity

DIRECT INSTRUCTION:
