Visual Arts Lesson Plan
As you work through the various modules in this course, part of your responsibility will be to integrate aspects of what you are learning into your practice of developing activities for your own students now or when you become a teacher. This module’s focus is on creating a visual arts lesson plan for use in your classroom. Your texts provide you with excellent guidelines and examples of lessons and activities and there are many other resources available online and at your observation sites I am sure.
Complete the Following:
Complete your Chapter readings focusing on the aspects of designing developmentally appropriate activities for preprimary children.
Using the Lesson Plan Template (available in the Readings and Resources column on the Schedule – same template is used throughout the course), Design a developmentally-appropriate visual arts activity for your chosen age group. Your activity should incorporate one or more of the following materials or others you identify in your objectives: sing crayons, using paints, printing, paste and glue, clay, fabric, sand
Your lesson plan should
be a two or three-dimensional visual arts activity.
focus on the process rather than the final product.
use materials that are developmentally appropriate for your audience.
Post your complete lesson plan to the Visual Arts Lesson Plan Discussion to share with your peers. Read your peers’ lesson plans and provide them with feedback and comments as you deem appropriate. NOTE: You must ALSO submit this lesson plan using the Visual Arts Lesson Plan Dropbox link in the class tools menu by the due date listed there.
HINT: A TIME SAVER IS TO CREATE LESSON PLANS AROUND THE SAME THEME SUCH THAT YOU CAN INCORPORATE THESE LESSON PLANS INTO YOUR THEMATIC UNIT.
You are also required to implement this lesson plan and include your evaluation and your reflection within your field observation reflections document. NOTE:THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PLAN IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE COMPLETED THIS WEEK. YOU MUST IMPLEMENT IT BEFORE THE END OF THE TERM AND INCLUDE YOUR REFLECTIONS IN YOUR FIELD OBSERVATION JOURNAL.
Reminders for your implementation…
Prior to teaching your lesson, provide your mentor teacher with the following items:
A copy of your lesson plan (provide this 1-3 days prior to teaching the lesson, so that your mentor teacher has time to read through it)
The evaluation form to fill out during his or her observation (you can download this from the Materials Section below)
After teaching your lesson, meet with your mentor teacher to discuss how it went and talk through any feedback he or she might have. At this time, he or she should give you the completed evaluation form.
Write a reflection about your experience. Address the following questions in your reflection:
What were the logistics of your activity? (describe how long it lasted, how many children participated, what was the space like, etc.)
What were your overall impressions of how the activity went? What went well or not so well?
What would you do differently next time?
Did anything unexpected or surprising happen? How did you handle it?
Did the activity meet the intended learning objectives? Why or why not?
Which of Lowenfield’s stages of artistic development did you observe? (see pages 155 – 159 in your Edwards text)
What artistic characteristics did you observe that led you to identify the stage(s)?
