LEARNING THEORIES

Cognitive thinking: Students will be engaged in geared instruction towards their interests connect
their assets and personal interests with their suggestions on the meaning behind color and the
transferable skills. Through presentation of powerpoint materials students will see visual
references affirming their entry level assessment hypothesis.

Behavioral Theories: Students will receive positive reinforcement for their ideas and encouraged
to do research on things that interest them that they would like to include in their art. The
presentation and homework will allow students to break up the information about the semesters
assignments into smaller chunks making the large concept about color theory easier to grasp.

ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES :
Entry Level (to find out prior knowledge, skill level):
How will you find out this information? How do we use color in our everyday lives?
Where do we see color?
What kind of feedback will students receive? Verbal feedback and suggest ideas that the
teacher came up with
How will this influence your teaching? See how students are thinking critically about
color or if we need more practice examples.

Progress Monitoring :
How will you check for this? Walking around the classroom and checking their notes.
What kind of feedback will students receive? One on one adjustments if they are not
understanding anything
How will this influence your teaching? Reiterating any confusing information and going
into detail as we start to work on projects

Summative:
How will you measure this?
Students will be completing worksheets showing their progress and understanding
of the concepts of color

What kind of feedback will students receive? Tweaking and editing from their teacher.
How will this influence your teaching? Taking more time to adjust the topic to their
needs.
Performative “Color Theory Worksheet” assessment RUBRIC

Connection to the world at large:

What is your connection or link?

There is more to color than we realize. It can set a mood it can make us feel certain
emotions, and it can influence our choices. Color is used as a tool not just for aesthetics. In the
world of design and entertainment color is incredibly important to create an atmosphere and style
representative of what they are trying to portray.

What do you expect students to learn from this and why is it important?
There is a good point to choosing colors that compliment your work. Art or not, these
choices will influence the audience you present them to. Whether it is something as simple as
putting together your outfit for work the next day or designing a proposal for a major company,
these color choices matter.

How and when will you introduce these connections / links?

Post entry-level assessment.

How will this inform the students’ artwork for this assignment?
 Hopefully this will prove color to be more valuable that we realize.
