Curriculum Rationale
A quality art education program provides a learning environment for students to obtain the essential skills to be-come a strong contributor to society. Quality art education teaches critical thinking and problem solving skills, how to face fear and failure, the value of risk taking, and adaptability. Quality art education teaches unique methods of inquiry and exploration. The process of creating causes students to reach higher levels of thinking through accepting the possibility of multiple right answers and solutions or outcomes. Through quality art education students learning the importance of personal judgment and learn to investigate, examine, and cre-ate art works that have personal meaning and value.
“To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination.” –– Albert Einstein
“The arts are an avenue through which youth and communities experience their power to make things and to make things happen.”- Olivia Gude
Course Introduction
Learning the foundations of art is essential for cultivating the imagina-tion and creating artistic experiences that carry meaning. This foundations course teaches critical thinking and problem solving skills through the tool of imagination. These skills will aid my students in using their imaginations to become successful thinkers and problem solvers. The skills and knowledge gained from this foundations course will make my students better artists and better citizens and better people. This foundations 2 unit is designed for my students to examine, inves-tigate, and create artworks through exploring many different mediums. This curriculum is divided into 4 units of instruction. Each unit focuses on a sep-arate foundational medium within art. These units are infused with explora-tions into the enduring idea of the supernatural circumstances which surround us daily. This curriculum is designed for the duration of one semester.
Unit1: Drawing
Unit2: Painting
Unit3: Sculpture
Unit4: Digital
“Imagination rules the world” -Napoleon Bonaparte
Equity Statement
Equity means that everyone is given a fair chance to succeed. To achieve true equity within the classroom the teacher and the students must share the responsibility.
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to change, it’s not”. Dr Seuss
The Teacher: The teacher is responsible for creating a welcoming, friendly, and safe environ-ment where the students can learn collectively and individually. I will do my best to al-ways have a positive attitude towards my students and be genuinely concerned for their educational welfare. I will be equal and fair to my students by providing multiple ways of presenting information. We all learn differently and I will do my best to discover the needs of my students in order to facilitate equal learning opportunities.
The Students: I expect my students to be patient and willing to try new processes and meth-ods within the scope of art making. Because we all come from different backgrounds and have different personalities my students will respect one another. I will respect my students and their diverse cultural backgrounds and I expect them to do the same for myself and their fellow classmates. Tolerance is an important factor for learning to occur within my classroom. We will respect one another’s opinions even if we disagree.
The Classroom: I will do my best to make my classroom a safe, fun and inclusive environment. Art rooms by their very nature breed creativity and curiosity. I will make my classroom accessible to all my students by having an open door policy. My room will reflect the attitudes of I have for my students. I love learning and I will love my students.
Discrimination: Is the unfair treatment of someone based on their race, age, gender, sexual pref-erence, disability, ethnic origin, citizenship, family status, or social status. My students will understand what it means to discriminate or be discriminated against. At the being of my classes I will announce that if any of my students feel that they are being discrim-inated against in the classroom, they should come see me after class and we will resolve the matter.
Conceptual Framework
Investigate: to carry out an inquiry to discover the facts
Examine: to explain, analyze, or interpret something by identifying its fundamental components
Create: to bring something into existence.
These verbs are found within Bloom’s Taxonomy as cognitive, affective, and psychomotor actions of learning. These verbs are the conceptual framework for this curriculum unit of instruction. Throughout this curriculum the students will use these verbs: investi-gate, examine, and create, to learn and retain the knowledge that will be presented. This is a High school Foundations 2 course. Throughout this unit of instruction, students will learn several different processes and method for making art. The curriculum does not only focus on methods of skill building technique, but also on the ideas and concepts of fear, vulnerability, survival, the supernatural, the sub-conscious mind, and the ephemeral state of emotion. Knowledge of these concepts is essential for success in life and connections will be made on how to best prepare, improve, and overcome the negative effects of life. At least one of the three verbs will be emphasized in each lesson of this unit.

Assessment Policies and Procedures
Why assess?
Assessment is used to gather information in order to make an evalu-ation. Effective assessment can improve classroom instruction, em-power students, increases student interests/motivation, and provide feedback on how the student is progressing.
Assessment Tools
Discussions: I will break up the class into smaller groups and ask a guided question which will lead my students to begin a dialogue about the subject in question. I will float from group to group and observe the dialogue that is presented. From my observa-tions I will determine if the subject needs further.
Think, Pair, Share: Students will share their thoughts with one or two our class members.Art Journals: Students will keep a art journal which they will keep sketches, thumb nails, and research questions.
Thumb Nails: Students will sketch up several thumb nails and pick their favorites. They will use those favorite picks as proposals for projects which they will discuss with me.
Workshop/Demo Notes: Students will include notes from demos and workshops within their art jour-nals.
Interviews: Throughout the semester I will have several short interviews with each student. They will show me their art journals and together we will express questions or con-cerns they have.
Assessment Policies and Procedures
Assessment Tools
Class activities: Activities which are specific to the individual lessons. See lessons for examples.
Bell Ringers: At the beginning of class the students will answer a question which will be submitted to me.
Later slips: A paper which the students will record a response or further questions which did not get answered during the class period which will be handed in before they leave the classroom.
Rubrics: Several rubrics will be used for grading. They are specific to the lessons that use them.
Quick survey: Students will raise their hands or step to either side of the room to indicate their level of understanding. Example “If you understand raise your hand”
Assessment Policies and Procedures
Evaluations
Visual Art Journals (10%) The visual art journal is a sketchbook kept by the student. It contains both assigned and independent entries. Entries may include assigned topics, exercises/studies of art technique, sketches of ideas, thinking and working processes, workshop notes, definitions, goals, art research and questions etc. Journal entries will be reviewed and assessed weekly. The entries will be assessed by checklists, rating scales, and teacher-student interviews. Criteria for assessing entries: each entry is worth 10 points -Content(5 points): includes all written assignments and demo/ workshop examples -Development of Ideas(4 points): demonstrates the progression of thoughts and research -Craftsmanship(1 point): entries are readable and presented in a orderly manner
Mini Portfolios (50%) Mini portfolios are a meaningful collection of the student’s work that shows the ef-fort, progress, and achievement of the student. Each main project will have a mini portfolio in which the student turns in their work. The importance of the mini portfolios is to assess the growth and development of the students. The portfolios will also be used to evaluate the student’s progression. I will use a holistic approach to judge, rate, and score the entire portfolio as a single quantity of information. Portfolios will be assessed by checklist and rubric rating scale. Criteria for assessing portfolios: each portfolio is worth 10 points -Researching(2 points): selection and development of themes, content, processes, and techniques through research.
-Creating(3 points): personalized and expressive approach used to create their work. Use of technical skill present in the work.
-Resolving(5 points): personalized and expressive solutions to problems encountered. Improvement from past performances and achievement of goals. Reflection on artistic process. Composition is solid.
Assessment Policies and Procedures
Evaluations
Critiques (10%) During each project students will perform an informal formative assessment cri-tique. The critique is designed to give positive feedback to the students and proved sugges-tions for areas of improvement. The critique is designed to drive the student into further exploration of thoughts and expressions. The students, along with the teacher will discuss the ideas and directions of each individual student’s work. Criteria: -Participation(5 points): Student participates in comments and questions
Final Show (30%) At the end of the unit or semester the students will submit works to a final show. The submissions will be completed works. The submissions will be graded on a double rubric rating scale. The students will fill out a rubric rating their own performance and the teacher will fill out a separate rubric. Between the two rubrics the students will receive a final grade for the unit.

At the same time another student or myself will take a picture of the student posing so they can have photo reference to work with when they begin filling in their figure.Day 3: Continued shadow drawing and photo taking until each student has a cardboard sil-houette to work with. Students who had their cutouts done the last class period will be working on compiling our classroom zombie survival guide wall. The wall will be a grabby board for student to place images of survival tactics and cool zombie stuff.
Day 4: I will introduce the artist Greg Nicotero, the lead make up artist for the The Walking Dead TV show as our bellringer. Then I will give a workshop on building the figure from the outside in and one on how to use oil pastels. The rest of the time will be spent on working on their cutouts.Day 5: We will have a mid-way class Critique. Students will describe the direction or artistic process they are trying to achieve. Then the class will give feedback and suggestions on how that student can achieve their person goal with the work.Day 6: Work day.Day 7: Final Work day.Day 8: The students will write an artist state-ment that explains how and why they turn into a zombie and fill out the rubric. Then we will do a Flash mob exhibition. We will take our finished zombie selfs out into the hallway of the school and stand all of our zombies up in the hall.

Lesson 3 Adaptation
Adaptation: Lower Grade3rd grade Class: Since Zombies have violent, morbid “uncanny” attritubes, I would switch from zombies to Super-heros and have the students create their very own new super hero...or Villian. Mwahahaha!
Procedures:Day 1: Look at super heros and talk about their powers and attritutes.Do gesture drawing activity as before but with no sustained poses. Only poses that superheros would do.Brainstorm ideas about what pow-ers they wish they had. After brain-storming start assignment of creating poster sized superheros. Workshop on prismacolors. Limit the drawing mediums to pencils, markers, and prismacolors.Day 2: Work on posters during the class time.Day 3: Finish up posters and have students give short presentations about their new super hero.
Learning outcome:Students will investigate the attri-butes of superheros and create poster sized drawing of themselves as a new superhero.
Assessments:Gesture pose game. 30 sec gestures.I will have them hold up their favor-ite images and I will walk around and quickly assess the drawing skills of the class.
Presentations: Students will present their newly created Superheros to the class and explain their powers and whether they are good or evil super-heros.
