Work Period  (We Do, You Do)

Students learning by doing/demonstrating learning expectations.  Describe the instructional process that will be used to engage the students in the work period.

TKES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. 8,10

GUIDED PRACTICE:  

Egyptian Art Project

The student will complete a composition that organizes the elements of design through guidelines provided by the principles of design.

These elements and principles of design will be incorporated into a work that incorporates historical themes and techniques of prehistoric art. 

The student will use the process of reflection, revision, and refinement in developing a work 

INDEPENDENT/COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE/DIFFERENTIATION:

Students will create a composition that illuminates the use of the principles of design.

Students will use the principles of design to organize the elements of design in a composition

The works subject matter will incorporate universal themes identified in historical works 

Students will use reflection, revision, and refinement in developing  a work 

Closing  (We Check)

Describe the instructional process that will be used to close the lesson and check for student understanding .

TKES : 1,2,3, 4,5,6,7,8

SUMMARIZE/CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING:

Begin a composition that recognizes and applies  the principles and elements of design in the surrounding environment and  historical works of art 

Informal evaluations of emerging principle of designs compositions through the use of elements of design

Informal evaluations of students use of reflection, revision, and refinement in developing a work of art
