Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results

Established Goals:

S1 CREATE

Students will generate artistic work by conceptualizing, organizing, and completing their artistic
ideas. They will refine original work through persistence, reflection, and evaluation.

CR.2: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic
practices to plan works of art and design.

The Big Idea for my lessons:

At the end of the course, We will have learned a variety of sculpting materials, skills, methods and
techniques to create and design artistic works. We will be able to choose from these materials
skills and methods and create and design our own work.
What essential questions will be considered? What understandings are desired?
