Technology Lesson PlanResources

Lesson Summary
Grade Level: 10th-12th Grades
Subject Area: Art
Lesson SummaryTopic:
This lesson is designed for secondary level students who have completed a prerequisite art course. Through this lesson, I will teach students how to recognize the use of photoshop in images, and how to use photoshop themselves. This is an important skill to learn because many images in the media have been altered in convincing ways. By recognizing the capabilities of photoshop, students will be able to look more critically at images that are often perceived as true. Students will become more technologically literate, and will be able to create altered images of their own.
Lesson SummaryObjectives
Given an image of themselves, students will be able to use Adobe Photoshop to create an altered, yet realistic image that will score at least an 80% on the rubric.
After using the internet to find a visual image, students will practice visual literacy by blogging about the image’s visual and contextual clues and describing at least three different meanings that could be drawn from it.
Given visual examples, students will participate in a blog discussion with peers that include: at least two posts discussing visual culture, at least two posts connecting visual culture to identity, and at least two posts with online resources.
Resource #1
This is a fair use travelogue that will help students to understand copyrights and how to appropriately use materials. Some students may choose to use online images for this project, therefore this will be a good topic for them to touch on. It will also relate to art standard ART.II.VA.HS.3 in which students will have to communicate the origins of images and ideas and how they influenced their work.

I found this source through the Michigan Online Resources for
Educators website. The travelogue was created by
Thinkfinity, which is an online source for educators created by
the Verizon Foundation.

Here are three articles I could use as a resource for large or small group discussions:
Resource #2All three of the articles talk about the impact
of altered or photoshopped images. Not only
has editing technology changed the way we see images, it has created new issues in
everyday life. I could use these articles to cover art standards ART.V.VA.HS.1 and
ART.IV.VA.HS.2. The discussions will help students connect photoshop knowledge to real life and broaden their knowledge in an
interactive way.
Resource #2These articles were published in the Wisconsin State Journal, the Jordan
Times, and the Journal of Cell Biology respectively. I found the first two
through Grand Valley’s database, and the last on the Rockefeller University
Press website. Although they are scholarly articles, I would use these
mainly as tools for facilitating discussion rather than direct instruction.
Resource #3http://chnm.gmu.edu/
worldhistorysources/unpacking/imagesq2.html
This article will be used to instruct meaning making through images. Teaching the students how to be
visually literate will help them learn how to understand and communicate
in a new way.
Resource #3
I found this article on a World History Sources website that
was created by George Mason University. The website was created with the purpose of
helping students and educators find credible primary sources.

Here are some images that I would reference:
Resource #4
Using these images would be an
alternate way to introduce the idea of visual meaning
making. For instance, how does
the meaning change when the image is altered?
Resource #4
These just make me laugh...
Resource #4Unlike previous resources, these images are definitely not scholarly. In fact, one of these images came from a site that may be a little
inappropriate for students and the other came from a blog about cats. The images
themselves, however, do not need the context of their creator/owner in order to be useful.
Therefore it would be important for me as the teacher to gain appropriate fair use of these
items.
Resource #5Photoshop Tutorials found on http://www.photoshop.com
YouTube offers a wide range of tutorials as well!
Resource #5
Providing Photoshop tutorials will help students to review what is taught in class. Giving them a
collection of tutorials will allow them to practice discovery learning when needed. Using the tutorials will not
be required, but it serves as an alternate mode of instruction to help students achieve the performance
standards for this lesson.
Resource #5Several tutorials are found right on
Adobe’s website. The tutorials include video, written instructions, and different cheat sheets created by the company. If needed, many
other tutorials can be found on YouTube, and questions can be answered through Adobe’s help
page.
How I could use SlideShare...
SlideShare would be a good way for me to share powerpoints with the whole class. This allows my
powerpoints to be referenced on an individual basis rather than used as a one-time group presentation.
By linking slides together, I could create a non-linear presentation of the color wheel. This would allow students to interact and make discoveries rather
than just intake information. Especially with the color wheel, using an interactive powerpoint could help
them learn how to color mix when they do not have access to paints.
