An introductory lesson to introduce high school students to printmaking and prepare them to create their own prints later in the section.

Time needs to be a consideration for all artists. How does our work age? What historical context was a work of art made in? This lesson challenges students to examine the historical context and chronological evolution of artworks, and to synthesize an artwork that incorporates time.

My practice is very focused on student choice. Throughout a given semester, students are encouraged to experiment with media and subject matter. This leads to a number of symbolically significant works across several sections. This section puts symbolism at the forefront of the lesson and allows students to take the skills they have learned in other section in order to create a deliberately symbolic artwork.

This lesson challenges students to consider narrative and experimentation in their drawing practice. Students in this lesson used a wide variety of materials and techniques to expand their schema for a drawing.

This lesson was a collaborative project across two grade levels. This first component challenged the 3rd grade class to experiment with materials and create mixed media sculptures/objects. The second half will see the 7th grade class further manipulate these elements into an installation or sculpture.

A two week curriculum guide for grades K-8 across one semester using 5 week blocks. Each class spends 25 consecutive class days (unless otherwise noted) working on 1-2 specific projects. There are 5 classes in a 7 period day. At the end of the 5 weeks, a new group of classes begin their 25 day block.

This guide covers 10 instruction days per class of two 25 day block.
