Steps and Procedures
Activity #1: Performance Task [Direct Instruction] (5 mins)
*Hand out performance task.
Here is the performance task for this project. This outlines some requirements and the assignments.

You will choose either a personal project or a personal painting. The project can be any medium – approved by
me and the painting you are using either canvas or wood board.

Use the rest of this class to plan and think about what you would like to create. Then pre-plan- draw this out in
your sketchbook and bring this to me to be approved.

While you are researching/planning think about these questions:

1. How can you integrate your own style and personal experiences in an eye-catching
artwork?
2. How can incorporating colour affect 3 dimensional forms?

Does anyone have any questions?
