Objectives
The purpose of objectives is not to inhibit or restrain creativity in any way, but to ensure that the activity is focused clearly enough that both student and teacher know what is to be learned in the lesson. When objectives are met, your child is learning, without regard to the skill level or outcome of the art being produced! Lesson 1: The student will be able to make different types of brush strokes and use appropriate practices for acrylic paints, including: applying paint directly to the paper without extra water in the brush, applying paint with the wide side of flat brushes, and giving the brushes a final cleaning with soap and water. Lesson 2: The student will cultivate self-direction and engaged learning as they arrange fruit or other still life objects in thoughtful ways, creating an acrylic painting of the objects. Lesson 3: The student will increase skills vital to learning and achievement, includingmotivation, concentration, and perseverance as they demonstrate painting with dots of color and recognize pointillism in a work of art. Lesson 4: The student will be able to identify a work by Van Gogh as using ribbons of color and will make connections by observing, comparing, and perceiving colors and relationships as they create a landscape and paint it in ribbons of color. Lesson 5: The student will demonstrate their understanding of painting the edges of shapes and filling in while using acrylic paints in scene of human activity in a landscape. Lesson 6: The student makes choices using imagination and critical thinking skills to assemble withglue, slits, and tabs, a three-dimensional robotmodel withinabox to create awall assemblage. Lesson 7: The student will make intuitive decisions in their art by cutting a traditional portrait apart to rearrange a face using collage techniques of cutting, arranging, and gluing pieces. Lesson 8: The student shows ability to tackle complex open-ended problems, making a four- legged animal by modeling aluminum foil; the artwork will show specific identifying features of an animal, but is not required to show advanced craftsmanship. Lesson 9: The student will build confidence and a strong sense of identity while creating amodern head using a bottle for the armature and finishing with a plaster cloth surface as they modify and exaggerate facial features. Lesson 10: The student will design any type of animal by modeling aluminum foil in a more abstract manner; general shape is evident, but identifying features may be missing. Lesson 11: The student will learn that there are many ways to see and interpret world experiences as they demonstrate the ability to imagine and connect mark making to abstract ideas such as sound to create an abstract work of art.
