Performance Objectives (consider multiple levels of Blooms):
TLW

Students will be able to identify specific parts of a negative and explain how light creates
an image.
Standards:
Comprehend, Reflect, Create Transfer
Demonstrate competency in traditional and new art media, and apply appropriate
and available technology for the expression of ideas
A personal philosophy of art is accomplished through use of sophisticated language
and studio art processes

Instructional Input/Body of Lesson

Teacher Actions

Student
Actions/Expectations

1. Begin by handing out note sheets for students to

fill in and draw the visuals.
2. Begin power point
Describe the 3 layers of a sheet of film
(Emulsion, base, solution)
Explain what each layer is made of
(emulsion-gelatin, silver halide- billions of
light sensitive crystals, base flexible,
transparent, durable acetate)
Explain what happens when light hits it
(silver halide particles get excited)
Go over terms and add to visual example to
show: highlights, shadows, latent image

1. Students will take notes

3. Have students begin filling out a map to success

which each step that occurs when creating a negative

4. Continue explaining the process of developing a
negative and the different steps that take place to create a
permanent but fragile image
Developer, stop bath, fixer, wash
5. Have students continue begin filling out a map to

success which each step that occurs when creating a

negative

Technology Utilized

6. Ticket out the door give students a note card to

write the answers to these questions:

What does light do to sliver halide partials?

What part of an image is the most dense on
a negative?

Questions for Discussion/CSU

throughout the lecture to

review later and follow
along
2. Students will take notes
and drawing representing
the different layers being
discussed
3. Students will use the
map the success
worksheet to clearly
organize the different
parts and steps in the
process
4. Students will become
familiar with the process
they will be doing later in
the semester and why
each step is important
5. Students will use the
map the success
worksheet to clearly
organize the different
parts and steps in the
process

6. Students will check

their understanding and
provide a formative
assessment for the
teacher

Guided Practice/Application:
Have students fill out a map to success which each step that occurs when creating a negative

Review/Closure/CSU:
Ticket out the door: What does light do to sliver halide partials? What part of
an image is the most dense on a negative?
Independent Practice/Homework/Lesson Extension:
Review notes for mini quiz

How are Objectives/Standards Assessed in this lesson?

Students will have a mini quiz on the parts of a negative and how an image is made the
next day of class.
Modification/Accommodation/Adaptations
Have note sheets for students who need it, have those with vision problems sit near the
front
Reflection
Review how lesson went and make changes if necessary
