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

Standard/s: 

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

a. Use principles of design to organize elements of art to create unified compositions. 

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

VAHSVA.CN.1 Develop personal artistic voice through connecting uses of art within a variety of cultural, historical, and contemporary contexts. 

a. Discuss the intent of works of art in context to historical events. 

b. Examine universal themes that appear in works of art throughout various times and cultures. 

c. Analyze the ways in which personal experience affects the understanding and appreciation of works of art. 

d. Investigate the role of works of art as visual record keeper. 

e. Identify specific knowledge and skills from other disciplines that inform the planning and execution of works of art. 

Learning Target:

I can identify the principles of design in the environment and in works of art

I incorporate formal and informal components in works of art

I recognize the role of art in the context of historical events

I can examine universal themes that appear in works of art throughout time and  diverse cultures

I can reflect, revise, and refine works based on traditional and contemporary practices

Success Criteria:

I  identified the principles of design  in the environment and in works of art with an emphasis on the roles of visual balance

I incorporated by formal and informal components in works of art through the use of balance

I recognize and examine the role of art in historical events and through the prisms of time and culture

I recognize the role of reflection, revision, and refinement in works of art based on traditional and contemporary techniques

Introduction/Connection: 

Review the following terms

Principles of Design -  the guidelines of design.

These design principles help to organize the elements.  They include balance, rhythm, contrast, proportion, movement, emphasis and unity.

Elements of Design - the building blocks of design. They include line, shape, value, texture, space, form, color.

Polychrome - many colors

Contour lines - defines the outline of a form as well as interior structure

Prehistoric -  before recorded time.

Paleolithic -  the old stone age

Neolithic - the new stone age

DIRECT INSTRUCTION:

The teacher will identify  examples of the formal design principles in the environment

The teacher will identify the role of art in the context of historical events

The teacher will identify universal themes that appear in works of art throughout time and  diverse cultures

The teacher will identify examples of the use of principle in visual design.

The teacher will identify the role of reflection, revision, and refinement in works of art through traditional and contemporary techniques.

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:  

Principles of design 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
