students perform their medium and colour experimentations as a
source of prompting for student annotations.
KEY QUESTIONS
How do, if at all, art mediums affect the effect of colours?
Is one art medium better suited for the colour effects achieved in Art
Nouveau?
Is there more than one suitable medium? If so, what works best with
what colours/effects?
This activity is to be performed with the aim of improving students use of the
mediums of Acrylic and Watercolour Paints, and to establish students level of
understanding of colour theory and ability to identify colours through a variety
of art works and synthesise these observations across an art movement. By
observing students the teacher will be able to assess which students need aid
towards their mastery of painting in Acrylic and Watercolour Paints. This task is
to be performed with the aim of progressing students capacities in Literacy,
Numeracy and Critical and Creative thinking through the assessment of
performance of art mediums and their appropriateness for particular art styles
and works.

09:50 am Lesson Closure: (Review lesson objectives with students)

CLEAN AND PACK UP
Students will pack up the art supplies they have been using throughout
the class and clean any of the material that have been messed during
the classes activities, including the correct washing of paintbrushes.
Students will place any work that is still wet on the drying rack.

the process is swift and efficient.

09:55 am Transition: (What needs to happen prior to the next lesson?)

While students are packing up the class remind them that their progress on the
Investigatory Journal Assessment Task will be checks in the next class and
that they are expected to have 3 out of 5 A4 pages complete, including an
analysis overview of Art Nouveau as an art movement and either analysis for
ONE artist and ONE of their works, TWO artists, or TWO artworks completed
through annotations.
The teacher will write these expectations on the white board for the class to
see and take note of once, and while, they are cleaning up.
END CLASS.
