On the last page of my smart board presentation, I will have the Botero and Van Gogh
inspirations, so the students can refer back to them when they are working. I will have
simple steps written on the dry erase board for creating the glass flower for reference.
The vocabulary words will also be written on the dry erase board, and I will explain each
word during my demonstration.
Questions to ask the students after day 2 discussion:
1. What were the tiny glass pieces that looked like sprinkles called?
2. What were the flat orange pieces called?
3. Who was the Dutch artist that we learned about?
4. Who was the new artist that you were introduced to?
Learner Outcomes:
Students will follow the step by step procedure for creating their coil
vases.
Students will learn how to create a glass fused sunflower.
Students will become more comfortable working with clay.
Students will learn about Van Gogh and his art.
Safety Considerations:
There will be a first aid kit in the classroom. Glass is also very sharp and
should be handled with care. I will try to smooth the sharp edges when I
am cutting the glass pieces so they are not as sharp.
Alternatives to the Lesson: When students are finished with their flowers, they can
help if anyone would like help. If not, the student can pick a topic out of a bucket and
draw what the paper says.
Procedure: Introduction:
Day 1:
a. Motivation- My teacher example will be a motivation. I will also have a
Van Gogh Smart Board presentation with coil pot step by step. The teacher
will ask the students if they remember who they will be talking about for this
project. I will also have Van Gogh posters hanging up around the room.
b.
1. Start with a 5inch by 5 inch square of card board
2. Place 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch piece of fire paper on cardboard
3. Write name and class on cardboard
4. Choose 8 triangle tiles- can be any combination of yellow and orange
5. Choose either a red or white center
6. Arrange 8 triangles so the point is in the center (flower must be all the
way on the fire paper)
7. Using a toothpick put a tiny dot of glue on each point (the glue is just to
help make transporting flower inside kiln easier)
8. Place center square over all dots of glue
9. Pick any stringers or noodles for decoration
10. Dip end of stringers and noodles in glue and lay on petals
11. Choose color of frit for seeds and sprinkle in the center
12. Place carefully on cart
c. Teacher-pupil appraisal of activity- As the students are lining up, the
teacher will ask the students what professions Van Gogh tried before
becoming an artist. The teacher will ask them what artist they will be talked
about. And what painting the students are focusing on. Also, the students will
have a brief review of glass terms before they leave.
Teacher Evaluation: The teacher will feel if the daily goals were accomplished by
how successful the students were on answering the questions about the Van Gogh
discussion. The teacher will also feel if the daily goals were accomplished by how
successful the students were in creating their glass flower. If most of the class
flowers stay together when fired, the teacher did enough explaining and
demonstrating. If a lot of flowers fell apart when firing, the teacher may have to do
more explaining on how close to place glass pieces.
Student Evaluation: I will be using 1 rubric for whole project.
