In this lesson, students will explore personal awareness and how artists create art as a process of healing. Students will be introduced to several artists similar to the artist Ted Meyer, who has collaborated with patients who have experience some sort of trauma that resulted in scarring, to create an ongoing exhibition called Scarred for Life. Students will explore their own personal obstacles, physical, psychologicaletc. Students will also explore the topic of scarring and body modifications through different cultures, while designing a personal tattoo in relation to their obstacle. Hopefully from this, students will gain an understanding of how art can help over come those obstacles.
Unit One
Lesson #3 Public Awareness
Peace Paper Project (www.peacepaperproject.org) Using Text in Art Poverty Students will explore different ways artists create public awareness. They will research different artists and topics brought to the publics awareness through the use of art. As a class we will then focus on the topic of poverty as they create pages for their journal using techniques similar to what can be found within the Peace Paper Project. The class will also collaborate a fund/food gathering project and present it to the school. Funds will be donated to a local food pantry. Students will learn about the different roles they as artists can play in our society. Thomas B. Kennington, 1889 The pinch of poverty Oil on canvas
Students will be introduced to the artist Julie Green and her project, The Last Supper. Students will research their own politically based topic and create a series of artworks, in their own choice of materials that raises awareness. (See Fully Developed Lesson Plan)
In this lesson students will develop a consciousness toward the value of the materials artists use to communicate their ideas. Students will be introduced to various artists that use natural materials such as sand, dirt, wax, egg, fabricetc. Students will also learn about artists who explore similar topics by using non-natural materials. Students will complete research and write an argumentative/ proposal paper describing their feelings toward the use of natural vs. non-natural materials and what values certain said materials add to an artwork. In the proposal, students will present a topic they wish to represent. The student will have to create two pieces representing that topic. One piece will use natural materials and the other will use non-natural materials.
Unit Two
Lesson #3 Expressive Lines
Melting Art Students will learn about different ways artists use expressive lines to create emotions within their art. Students will be exposed to several performance tasks that will help them learn about different drawing and painting techniques using line. The focus artist for this lesson will be Hung Liu. Students will also research other artists and artworks that use the dripping/ melting method to create emotions. Students will then create their own painting using similar techniques.
Lesson #4 Printmaking
Card Project In this lesson, students will be introduced to the process of printmaking. Students will learn about the history of printmaking and how it has evolved throughout history. Each student will select a playing card that they will have to redesign in larger format. The conceptualized card will have to relate to the number or image on the original card, but will also have to form a new topic of inquiry. Students will use a form of printmaking to create an image.
Unit Three
Lesson #3 Ethnicity, Gender & Class
Photo Transfers In this lesson students will explore an issue related to Gender, Ethnicity, Race or Class. They will be exposed to several artists that have presented similar issues within their artwork. Students will create 6-12 photo transfers that depict a story related to their topic of choice. Students will learn the process of photo transferring while story telling throughout this lesson.

Lesson #4 Identity
Thumbprints In this lesson, students will explore their own identity and uniqueness as they create an artwork based off of their own fingerprints. Students will learn that even though each individual is different, we as humans relate in many ways. Students will learn about different artists that use the big idea of Identity throughout their artwork. From this, students will hopefully become aware of each others culture identities, differences and similarities.

In this unit, students will be submerged in environmental awareness. Students will create artwork from observation and research that evokes environmental consciousness. In this lesson students will explore fresh water communities while on a field trip to a local stream. Students will take their sketchbooks with and document adaptations of aquatic life. In the classroom, students will explore the effects of water pollution on aquatic animals. They will then create drawings and a 3-Demensional animal using recycled and/or natural materials that explore possible adaptations that will help the animal survive in the ever-depleting conditions of our planet. From this integrated performance task, students will combine environmental science and art. Students will gain hands on experience while conducting a stream study that will bring them closer to nature in hopes of creating deeper feelings towards the preservation of our natural world.

Unit #4
Lesson #3 Energy
3-D light sculpture Students will discuss the topic of sustainable energy and the conflicts of interest that surround the topic. Students will look at artists who use actual energy to create sculptures. Students will then explore their own personal feelings towards environmental awareness while creating a sculpture using some type of energy source, such as light or movement.
