Jordan & Tanners Lesson

Jordan & Tanner had a very tough task ahead of them! They were the first group to present their very own lesson plan to the class. Everyone in the class could tell they worked really hard and didn't throw anything together at the last minute, it was a very thought out process.

Grade Level: 6-8

Lesson Title- Me, Myself, and My Initials

Elements of Design- Contrast Balence Variety

Goals- *To introduce students to design and pattern using collage
*Broaden students intrest in color
*How to create design using various geometric shapes, and colors to create design

Objectives-

1. Students will express their color preference as they choose their favorite color for design
2. Students will use geometric shapes to create a design by using patterns and variety.
3. Students will design and cut out their name or initials.
4. Students will learn about collages through art history.
5. Students will use variety when choosing their photographs.

My Thoughts: I thought this project was fun and a good way for students to use their motor skills to draw, trace, cut, and paste. I think that students would have alot of fun with this project because durning the 6th to 8th grade years students are becoming more and more independent, and their isn't a better way to show your veiws, thoughts, or ideas through collage.

Extension Activity- I thought a good extension activity would be to have the students do a collage of the civil war for American History class. I think that would be a great for students to use art in the history classroom.
