Day 1
After viewing a PowerPoint, students will be able to analyze traditional two-dimensional art and digital art by comparing and contrasting the art-making process and viewer interaction.
After filling out a worksheet on what their technology teaching philosophy is, students will be able to design at least three thumbnail sketches of abstract compositions that represent their teaching philosophy on digital art.
- Bloom’s: Analyze
- Standard: Transfer
- GLE: 1. The work of art scholars impacts how art is viewed today.
- Art Learning: historical/cultural context and critical reflection
- Visual Literacy: Analyzing and interpreting the difference between traditional and digital art by looking at printed images.
After filling out a worksheet on what their technology teaching philosophy is, students will be able to design at least three thumbnail sketches of abstract compositions that represent their teaching philosophy on digital art.
- Bloom’s: Create
- Standard: Create
- GLE: 2. Assess and produce art with various materials and methods
- Art Learning: Ideation
- Literacy: Writing down what their teaching philosophy is in their sketchbooks.
- Numeracy: Order and repetition of shapes and textures
Day 2
Given a demonstration on Krita and Wacom tablets, students will be able to create a final version of one of their thumbnail sketches using at least five different brush tools.
After completing their final composition, students will be able to assess artwork based on color, texture, shape, and partner’s digital art teaching philosophy.
- Bloom’s: Create
- Standard: Comprehend
- GLE: 1. Visual art has inherent characteristics and expressive features
- Art Learning: materials, tools, and techniques
- Technology: Students will learn the Krita software using a digital drawing tablet
- Numeracy: Order and repetition of shapes and textures
After completing their final composition, students will be able to assess artwork based on color, texture, shape, and partner’s digital art teaching philosophy.
- Bloom’s: Evaluate
- Standard: Reflect
- GLE: 2. Personal philosophy of art is accomplished through use of sophisticated language and studio art processes.
- Art Learning: expressive features and inherent characteristics
- Literacy: Students will fill out a two-columned critique worksheet. The artist will write his/her intent on the left-side column. On the right-side, their partner (the viewer) writes down what they think the person’s digital art teaching philosophy is based on what they see in the final product. The artist can also write their reactions or questions to the viewer’s insight underneath his/her response.
