Note: Before you plan and write art experiences; pre-assess your students based on the proposed
concepts, enduring understandings, and objectives of the unit/lesson(s). You may also gather this
information from (previous) teachers, by reviewing already completed art work, consulting
curriculum materials, etc., to get a better understanding of what content students already know
and what they will need to know to be successful.
Pre-Assessment:
This will need to be done prior to teaching your lesson. Outline the method you will use to determine the skill/knowledge level of
your students based on the concepts/enduring understandings/objectives of the lesson. (Hint: turn these into questions.) Be specific in
describing what you would recognize as proficient skill/knowledge.
After discussing with classroom teachers, it is my understanding that the students will be
learning about houses and homes around the globe in their current unit within the
classroom. Working with the classroom teachers, I was able to design a project that
allows each student to take the idea of a home and explore it in clay materials.
Knowing the extent of clay exposure the students had in their first year in school
(kindergarten), I know that the students have never worked with clay techniques such as
scoring and slipping, slab rolling/building, stamping, drawing, etc.
The students will have an experiment day where I introduce them to the different clay
techniques, and I will observe during class time to see if the students are grasping the idea
of how to use each technique before actually introducing the project prompt.
Questions to ask:
Can students draw and cut shapes from a slab?
Do the students have the skill set necessary to cut and construct the project
themselves?
Would templates make the students feel more confident and comfortable building
the project, or would they be better off designing and constructing it themselves?
What interests in materials do the students have that would get them more excited
about the project itself?
What coloring techniques can first graders use to finish the project that fall within
their skill level?
Performance:
What will students accomplish as a result of this lesson? This can be presented to students in the form of a story. In this narrative
the students take on a role and create a learning product about a specific topic for a certain audience. (RAFT Role / Audience /
Format / Topic)
The students will become the designers of a home for this project and think of houses and
what makes them a home. The students will be making this project to explain to the
audience (friends, family, teachers, and art viewers) what home means to them. The
project task will be completed by constructing a hanging clay piece that is the shape of a
house, drawing a composition of what is seen through the window, and using beads to
represent personal meaning of their house.
Concepts:
List the big ideas students will be introduced to in the lesson. These ideas are universal, timeless and transferrable. Examples of
concepts used in art might include: Composition, Patterns, Technique, Rhythm, Paradox, Influence, Style, Force, Culture,
Space/Time/Energy, Line, Law/Rules, Value, Expressions, Emotions, Tradition, Symbol, Movement, Shape, Improvisation, and
Observation Look for concepts in the standards, content specific curriculum, etc.

Differentiation:
Explain specifically how you have addressed the needs of exceptional students at both end of the skill and cognitive scale. Describe
the strategies you will use for students who are already proficient and need growth beyond what you have planned for the rest of the
class, as well as modifications for students with physical and/or cognitive challenges. Students must still meet the objectives.
New Vocab: scratch attach (scoring and slipping), stamping, carving, additive, subtractive
Literacy will be integrated with: explanation of the meaning of each bead as well as the
guided artist statement sheet.
Materials:
Must be grade level appropriate. List everything you will need for this lesson, including art supplies and tools. (These are the
materials students will use.) List all materials in a bulleted format.
Paper
Clay
Colored Pencils
Pencils
Crayons
Erasers

I will start the entire lesson by explaining the relationship between the project itself and
the home unit the students are working on in their 1st grade classroom, The lesson will
then be continued by introducing students to exciting imagery and examples from
pinterest and other online sources. The images will be visually exciting and have
incredible contrast and obvious line and depth. Students will also be engaged through fun
and informative demos. As well, students are very motivated by knowing that they are
getting to use clay.
Questions to ask will include:
What is in a home?
What does home mean to you?
What is important about your home that is unlike anybody else's home?
If we looked through the front window of a house, what we probably
see?
Does everyone feel the same meaning for their home?
Etc.
Ideation/Inquiry:
Ideation is the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas, where an idea is understood as a basic
element of thought that can be visual, concrete or abstract. List and describe inquiry questions and processes you will engage students
in to help them develop ideas and plans for their artwork.
Students were asked to follow along with a powerpoint and participate in a discussion of
what is found in a home. The discussion and powerpoint also helped the students to
explore the idea of what makes their house a home, and more than just a building. The
students then used a window ideation sheet to design ideas for their window drawing
that reflects what makes their house a home. The guided bead sheet at the end also helped
students in the ideation process by giving them a way to explore how their beads can
represent something personal.
Instruction:
Give a detailed account (in bulleted form) of what you will teach. Be sure to include approximate time for each activity and
instructional methodology: skills, lecture, inquiry, etc. Include motivation and ideation/inquiry where appropriate; including what
student will understand as a result of the art experience
Demo:
Show some teacher made examples of what
could be inside of the window and how it will
look on the clay examples
Motivation for students
Introduce students to the window idea sketch
sheet:
Explain: There are four squares the size
of the window on your clay pieces. On
this sheet you will design 4 different
picture ideas of what would be seen in
the window of your house. Think about
how to make it unique and personal to
your house. Use it as a chance to show
off what your house means to you.
Work time:
Students will be given colored pencils, crayons,
and pencils. As well, they will be given a sketch
sheet.
Students will use the sketch sheets and
materials to work on their ideas for what
they will draw to be seen inside of their
window.
Clean up:
Materials will be put back into their boxes, and
then will be returned to their individual cubbies.
Students will bring their sketch sheets to Mr.
Johnson with their name written on the top.
Intro: Show students how to finish their pieces by tying Work time: The
plastic string to the house and sliding the beads onto rest of class
them.
Introduce students to the guided artist Cleanup: last 5
statement: mins of class
Say: When artists make something that
has a personal meaning to them, and
they want to share it with other people,
they write little stories that explain what
their art means. So we are going to be
doing that today as well once everybody
finishes putting their beads on their
piece.
Show them an example of how
Mr. Johnson would write the
artist statement for his house.
Worktime:
Students will be given their bead planning
sheets. Materials will also be on tables; pencils,
plastic string, different colored beads.
Once students finish their beads, they will be
given a guided artist statement to complete as a
reflection on their work.
Student reflective/inquiry activity:
Sample questions and activities (i.e. games, gallery walk, artist statement, interview) intended to promote deeper thinking, reflection
and refined understandings precisely related to the grade level expectations. How will students reflect on their learning? A
participatory activity that includes students in finding meaning, inquiring about materials and techniques and reflecting about their
experience as it relates to objectives, standards and grade level expectations of the lesson.)
Self-Reflection:
After the lesson is concluded write a brief reflection of what went well, what surprised you, and what you would do differently.
Specifically address: (1) To what extent were lesson objectives achieved? (Utilize assessment data to justify your level of
achievement.) (2) What changes, omissions, or additions to the lesson would you make if you were to teach again? (3)What do you
envision for the next lesson? (Continued practice, reteach content, etc.)
I think overall, the project was a success. The students did an amazing job of
constructing their clay house pieces, and they also did a pretty amazing job applying the
pastel and paint resist technique to give their piece color. However, I feel as though the
students were not doing as well of a job of being thoughtful when it came to the window
element of the piece and the special choice bead. They werent trying to find a personal
meaning with the art, the way I had intended for them to. So overall, I would say the
lesson objectives were met at about 85-90%.
In the future I would definitely tweak the lesson to give students more of a sense of what
is personal about their home. I dont know how well I did at conveying the idea that every
house is just house until people occupy it. I really want the lesson to get students
thinking about what makes their house special, and why its more than just a house.
I really envision this lesson becoming more than just a lesson on constructing with clay
and adding materials and techniques. I really think this is a great lesson that could be
used in the future to help students realize how art can be used to convey personal
meaning for the artist.
Appendix: Include all handouts, prompts, written materials, rubrics, etc. that will be given to
students.
