Lesson Overview
The students will understand they are in a
nonjudgmental environment where they can express their
emotions freely through their artwork. After a brief
review of our past history unit about the structure of
United States government, we will tie that into emotional
life and how it can affect our everyday lives.
We will explain the variety of emotions one can feel
and how they can be applied to specific colors into
creating a self-portrait. To conclude the lesson, we will
have a gallery walk to see everyones work and have a
discussion about the articles and what the students have
learned.

emotion.
Art making is a deeply emotional and, some would say, spiritual process. (Allen, 2005;
Malchiodi, 2002; Wuthnow, 2001)
Yet, even art is often dominated by our rational mind.
We carefully plan our projects, making sure to have the correct materials, the right timing,
and the technical knowledge. Due to this pressure to produce great art, many of us who do
not consider ourselves artists, poets, or actors; refrain from engaging in these activities at all.
But,
What if we embraced creative projects for their learning potential?
What if we gave up on the need to be technically correct or to produce anything of value?
What if we lived in the moment?

Group 02: Article 2 Art stimulates both those who make it and those who witness it. Creating, imagining and witnessing all instill you with a
new sensibility about how you experience yourself in the world
Group 03: Article 2 ...describes flow as a state of being totally absorbed in an activity. There is no preoccupation with outcomes or worries
about failing. The past and future do not exist. One often loses track of time and space. A person in this flow state is working intuitively, and it
often seems as if the poem writes itself or the painting just appears.
Group 04: Article 3 Many adolescents are overwhelmed and underprepared when faced with emotions.
Group 05: Article 3 Emotional intelligence is defined by Salovey and Mayer (1990) as "the subset of social intelligence that involves the
ability to monitor one's own and others feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking
and actions
