come up with a
creature they will begin sketching on their canvas. Keeping size proportions in
mind, students will sketch their creature on the canvas.
2. Next, students will paint their creature.
3.Begin to think about what kind of world your creature would live in.
5. Instructional Strategies
Teacher approach to helping students achieve the learning objectives (goals) and meet their needs
I will be using an exemplar and a power point to help students grasp the extent of what we are working on. I
will be available in the class to ask questions at any time. I will watch our time, letting the students know
how long they have to work. I will encourage questions and the students being researchers to discover their
worlds.
6. Learning Activities
Opportunities provided for students to develop knowledge and skills of the learning objectives (goals)
Students will learn through hands on art making in the studio. They will learn from class discussion. Students
will have time to reflect in journals on what they are thinking, what they have learned and what they think
will happen next. See goals above in #2.
7. Resources and Materials
List of materials used in the planning of and during the instruction of the lesson
Computer for presentation, exemplar for students to observe, canvas, tempera paints, acrylic, watercolor,
plaster strips if available (otherwise gauze bought in bulk from medical wholesaler and plaster from
hardware store), gel adhesive, found objects brought in by myself and the students, pencils, sketchbooks,
ink.
8. Technology
Instructional and/or assistive technology incorporated into the lesson to enhance instruction and student
learning
Power point presentation, iPads for student research and reference
9. Differentiation/Accommodations/Modifications/Increase in Rigor
To help meet the needs of all learners, learning differences, cultural and language differences, etc.
Depending on the students who have special needs, I will provide adequate support and adjustments to each
level per individual case. Lessons can be simplified or altered easily to accommodate the student needs.
They can draw a creature, use the iPad to create a creature, or use descriptive words to describe their
creatures.
10. Classroom Management
Strategies consistent with the learning needs of the lesson that also meet student behavior needs to help
keep students on task and actively engaged
Students are expected to stay on task and work diligently. If they become off task we will take a break to do
a meditative focus and bring our attention back to our project. I will adapt with the needs of the students. We
will discuss being respectful of everyones artwork.
11. Extensions
Activities for early finishers that extend students understanding of and thinking about the learning
objectives (goals) by applying their new knowledge in a different way
If students finish early they will be asked to help out other students in the class. If there are no opportunities
for helper tasks, they can brainstorm in their journals or look up ideas for their worlds on the internet (our
next lesson).

canvas.
2. Use plaster to create landscape/world
3. Once plaster has dried, go back and glue down to secure it to the canvas.
4. Critique landscapes while they are white. What kind of feeling do you get from these textures and
lines?
5. Paint your world adding meaningful touches, symbols and color to your piece.
5. Instructional Strategies
Teacher approach to helping students achieve the learning objectives (goals) and meet their needs
While doing the demo I will explain again how the plaster will work on the canvas. Working time
will be critical to stress. Plaster dries within 20 minutes, so students will have a brief amount of
time to work. Quick decisions will have to be made while working around their creature. While
painting the plaster students will have to be mindful of how they apply the paint to incorporate
their creature into their world. The landscape should be done in watercolor if they are available.
If not we may try watering down the paints a bit to get more of a washed creature, the goal
being for their creature to pop out more than the landscape surrounding them.
6. Learning Activities
Opportunities provided for students to develop knowledge and skills of the learning objectives (goals)
Students will learn through practice and develop skills with plaster. They will learn painting
techniques and differences between painting straight on canvas vs. on plaster. Students will use
their artistic eye to incorporate symbols, structures and landscape to convey a message of what
their world is like.
7. Resources and Materials
List of materials used in the planning of and during the instruction of the lesson
Water bowls, plaster strips pre cut if possible, towels for cleaning, aprons to protect clothes, glue to hold
down plaster if it starts to pull away from the canvas.
8. Technology
Instructional and/or assistive technology incorporated into the lesson to enhance instruction and student
learning
Computer for presentation, iPad for research if necessary
9. Differentiation/Accommodations/Modifications/Increase in Rigor
To help meet the needs of all learners, learning differences, cultural and language differences, etc.
Students with any special needs will be able to watch the demo and see from example of how to handle the
materials. If there are language barriers I will pause before hand to answer questions and meet with them.
10. Classroom Management
Strategies consistent with the learning needs of the lesson that also meet student behavior needs to help
keep students on task and actively engaged
Students are expected to stay on task and work diligently. If they become off task we will take a break to do
a meditative focus and bring our attention back to our project. I will adapt with the needs of the students. We
will discuss how to be careful with materials because plaster can get very messy. They will be expected to
handle the materials carefully or they will not be able to participate. We will discuss being respectful of
everyones artwork.
11. Extensions
Activities for early finishers that extend students understanding of and thinking about the learning
objectives (goals) by applying their new knowledge in a different way
If a student finishes early they can start cleaning up and helping out other students. They can sketch ideas
in their sketchbook of how they would like to paint their world. If they finish painting early, they can sketch
ideas or research symbols for language.

interconnect concepts (may be incorporated tomorrow or throughout the unit)
Quick round-robin in the class where everyone identifies one thing they recognize in another students work
that we have been talking about (relief, 2D, paint techniques, connecting to other cultures (Egyptian, Mayan,
the Codex, etc.).
Additional Information
Any area or lesson component that may not have been covered by this format that you think is vital to
include in this lesson
Since this is the end of the unit we will spend time doing VTS on 2 pieces of the students artwork. I will use
this information in my assessment of what knowledge and deep/meaningful understanding the students
convey. The students will also provide a reflection entry in their journals about what they learned during this
unit. I will provide them with a self evaluation for them to fill out. I will use a rubric for grading the
information.
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE UNIT:::
Students will evaluate their overall performance on the unit and how they think they did.
I will grade their projects according to a rubric.
I will give each student a different picture to identify and tell me what they know about the image. (this will
be Egyptian, Myan, or from Codex Seraphinianus.) They can tell me any information they know, to
demonstrate the learning they have acquired.
