Date Lesson to Be Taught: 9/14/22
Grade Level: 9, 10, 11, 12

Performance Objectives:
 Students should be able to demonstrate their understanding of the

skills taught to them throughout the quarter.
 Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of:
o Artistic Techniques
o Artistic Mediums

Idaho State Standards:

 VA: CR 2.1.lla Through experimentation, practice, and persistence,
demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

Materials:
 PowerPoint/Prezi presentation (to be used by the teacher for the
lesson)
 Paper and charcoal (for the art piece example)
 A variety of materials can be used by the students:
o Paper
o Canvases
o Paint
o Pencils
o Charcoal
o Etc.

Timeline:
  PowerPoint/Prezi presentation reviewing the class lessons from the
previous classes to help inspire the students to draw from them when
creating their art.
o Students will be given a blank piece of paper in which they will
fold in thirds hotdog style, and then fourths hamburger style to
divide the paper into sections. On both the front and back, for
every topic reviewed during the PowerPoint, students will write
what they remembered before the review about the concept,
medium, technique, or form of expression (on the left side of
the paper) and what they now know after the review (in the
center of the paper).
o At the end of the lesson, the students will then be asked to fill
out the remaining squares (on the right side of the paper) with
ideas of different ways to demonstrate that technique, concept,
medium, or form of expression.
 (30-40 min.)
 Students are given the remainder of the period to brainstorm and
decide which concept, medium, technique, or form of expression they
wish to demonstrate. As soon as they have chosen, the students can
begin creating their art pieces with the knowledge that the
assignment is due at the beginning of their next class along with the
papers they filled out during the day’s lesson.

Check for Understanding:

 The check for understanding is the information the students filled out
during class.
