LESSON OVERVIEW
For the class lesson
“Narratives and Prints” students will write a narrative that relates to the
collage they created with mixed media pieces and many layers. They will connect their artistic practice to
a story, looking back on the layers of the artwork and creating a layered
narrative. We will talk about the book
“Colors” and further introduce printing.
This will lead to a conversation about famous printing artists in
history and today. The inspiration for
their prints will be the senses humans’ experience. Over the course of this class and the next
several classes they will create 3-5 prints, depending on how quickly they
work. Each print will be inspired by one
of their senses: touch, sound, smell, or taste. We will have a group discussion
about this project and the class will be shown teacher examples. We will discuss the printing process for
professional printers and then go over a demo for first sketching out the print
design and then transferring it onto styrene plates. They will be shown
examples of how to create more or less negative space and what the finished
print will look like. The prints they
create in this class will carry over into the next several classes where they
will create a series of prints based off of their favorite smells, tastes,
sounds, and feelings. Each print will be apart of a larger layered print
piece.

First Grade Layers
LESSON OVERVIEW
For the class
“Material Exploration with Layers” the students will create artwork that
focuses on paper, layering and collage. First they will read a book that
explains colors, layering, and printing.
They will go over artistic terms such as collage, opaque, translucent,
transparent, cellophane, acetate, texture.
They will be asked to reiterate and respond to what these words mean and
how they plan to create through out the rest of the class. They will see a teacher example and then the
teacher will facilitate them creating one together as a class to go over things
like scissor safety and use, proper use of tape, and possibilities with paper. We
will look at examples of artwork that have extremely apparent layers with one
or multiple mediums and we will also look at artwork that has layers that may
go unnoticed or overlooked. When they
have finished their collage and mixed media artworks, they can create more or
the teacher will read to them more books that relate to the activity. When all students have completed their
collages, they will, in groups of 3-4, tell each other the narrative or story line
of their collage artwork. This will
encourage them to connect to the fantasy world and come up with words and
sentences that explain or expand their creations.

THE CLASSROOM AS A THIRD TEACHER
The classroom will be set up in three large tables with white sheets of
paper covering the tables. On each table
will already be set out colorful tape, glue, colorful sharpie markers,
scissors, and a piece of acetate for each student. When students come into the room they will
have their assigned seats but we will meet in the middle of the room in an open
circle for artistic and intellectual conversation. At the front table will be
three separate bins with colorful cellophane, colorful tissue paper, and
colorful opaque papers that the students will come pick and choose from for
their art practice after we have had our conversation. In the room will also be
two light boxes that the students will be able to view their artworks and art
materials “in a new light” throughout the class and when they finish. The light
table is also where they will be able to view their peers’ work. Students will
be able to freely move around the art space to find new materials and let their
artwork move and flow.
ASSESSMENT
Students
will not be formally graded, but will be expected to engage in artistic and intellectual
conversation with the whole class. They will also be expected to act
respectfully towards one another and the art space. They will create collages and use a wide
range of materials in new and explorative ways. They will be expected to clean
up how and when they are told to.
