Finally, they will compare their work to Tom Rollins' pieces.

Content Standard(s):

Arts Education ARTS (2017) Grade: 4 Visual Arts	3) Generate ideas and employ a variety of strategies and techniques to create a work of art/design. Unpacked Content Artistic Process: Creating Anchor Standards: Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. Process Components: Investigate, Plan, Make Essential Questions: EU: Artists and designers experiment with forms, structures, materials, concepts, media, and artmaking approaches. EQ: How do artists work? How do artists and designers determine whether a particular direction in their work is effective? How do artists and designers learn from trial and error? Concepts & Vocabulary: Constructed environment Cultural traditions Digital format Engagement Tertiary color Preservation Proportion Principles of design Unity Shade Style Tints & shades Skill Examples: Create a list of multiple ideas, sketches, or thumbnail-sketches before beginning the final version of an artwork. Identify, select, and vary art materials, tools and processes to achieve desired results in their artwork. Brainstorm (alone or with others) potential art styles for a given piece of art, such as Monet's Water Lilies. Create an artwork from direct observation (still-life, self-portrait, figure drawing, etc.). Design a two-dimensional drawings of a futuristic art room, town, or planet Use wood, found objects, wire, paper, or clay-based materials to construct a three-dimensional form. Locate business logos in the community and explore the visual arts skills and materials that were used to create these works. Engage in group critiques of one's work and the work of others. Experiment with art materials by using them in unusual and creative ways to express ideas and convey meaning. Use and care for materials, tools, and equipment in a manner that prevents danger to oneself and others. Mix equal parts of a primary and a secondary color located beside each other on the color wheel to create a tertiary color. Use the design principles of repetition and alignment to add visual unity to an artwork. Create a painting using a monochromatic color scheme by using one color (red) adding white to create a tint (a lighter value--pink) and adding black to the color (red) to create a shade (darker value).
Arts Education ARTS (2017) Grade: 4 Visual Arts	10) Compare responses to a work of art before and after working in similar media. Example: Gyotaku Japanese fish printing and printing with a rubber stamp. Unpacked Content Artistic Process: Responding Anchor Standards: Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work. Process Components: Perceive, Analyze, Interpret Essential Questions: EU: Individual aesthetic and empathetic awareness developed through engagement with art can lead to understanding and appreciation of self, others, the natural world, and constructed environments. EQ: How do life experiences the way you relate to art? How does learning about art impact how we perceive the world? What can we learn from our responses to art? Concepts & Vocabulary: Constructed environment Cultural traditions Digital format Engagement Tertiary color Preservation Proportion Principles of design Unity Shade Style Tints & shades Skill Examples: Compare Gyotaku Japanese fish printing and printing with a rubber stamp. Make conclusions about the artist's feelings and perspective. Analyze the meaning of Edvard Munch's The Scream. Interpret Emanuel Leutze's Washington Crossing the Delaware River and its relevance to the Revolutionary War. Discuss and form an opinion about the social and personal value of a piece of art. Apply one element or principle of design to discuss how students' outcomes are different even though they used the same criteria for a work of art/ design. Formulate criteria for discussing and assessing works of art. Use art vocabulary when discussing and judging artworks. Engage in group critiques of one's work and the work of others for the purpose of personal reflection and on-going improvement.
Arts Education ARTS (2017) Grade: 5 Visual Arts	2) Demonstrate the methods of the art-making process, including brainstorming, sketching, reflecting, and refining, to create a work of art/design. Unpacked Content Artistic Process: Creating Anchor Standards: Anchor Standard 1: Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. Process Components: Investigate, Plan, Make Essential Questions: EU: Artists and designers shape artistic investigations, following or breaking with traditions in pursuit of creative artmaking goals. EQ: How does knowing the contexts, histories, and traditions of art forms help create works of art and design? Why do artists follow or break from established traditions? How do artists determine what resources and criteria are needed to formulate artistic investigations? Concepts & Vocabulary: Cultural context Formal & conceptual vocabulary Genre Linear perspective Preserve Principles of design Movement Emphasis Relief Vanishing point Skill Examples: Use a variety of materials (wood, found objects, wire, paper, clay, etc.) to construct a three-dimensional work of art. Have students keep journals to reflect on and combine ideas for their works of art. Draw a still life of students' favorite objects, while adding color with a variety of media (paint, pastels, collage, etc.). Draw an object or other images (landscapes, hallways, etc.) in linear one-point perspective. Create tessellations in connection with interdisciplinary subjects such as mathematics. Write a short story and illustrate the story with original drawings. Draw and transform two-dimensional shapes into three-dimensional forms. (squares to cubes, circles to spheres, triangles to pyramids and cones) Write a personal artist statement to accompany an original work of art. Draw a landscape including foreground, middle ground, and background. Create an artwork integrating observational and technical skills to solve a problem or address contemporary social issues. Create a bas-relief by carving into a clay slab.
