Introduction:
Show students images that relate to music and dance by Keith Haring will be shown on
the digital projector through PowerPoint. Students will be asked to bring in appropriate
music that may influence their art or inspire then to create an album cover. Crayon
drawings will be made that show students how various lines can represent different types
of music. Then ask students questions pertaining to the works shown like, “How do you
think the artist felt when he was making this painting?”, “What type of music do you
think the painting is representing?”, and etc.
Class time:
Introduction and discussion:
1. After students sit down by their computer, start the slide show of the images by Keith
Haring and other artist.
2. Using open-ended questions, engage the students in a class discussion about the
artwork. The objective of the discussion is to show how Keith Haring’s artwork was
influenced by music and dance.
Closure:
Have the students print their projects and hang them up and have a class discussion about
the pieces.
-What emotions are you trying to convey?
-What artist or type of music are you representing?
-How did the computer help develop your designs?
Assement
All students will be graded on their three crayon drawings, final project, and their
participation in class. Students are asked to turn in all paper copies, along with their
digital files labeled with their name.
__________ 3 Crayon Drawings – each drawing must have various marks and a variety
of color (10 points each)
__________ Final Album cover- The final album cover must include a minimum of 4
images downloaded from the internet, and an application of text to the composition. This
includes the paper copy and digital copies of the students work (50 points)
Teacher Reflection
1. In creating the practice files, I had some trouble cutting the images to the specific
areas that needed to be cut. I later found out by using the magnetic lasso and the
eraser really helped to get the exact cut I was aiming for.
2. Students may encounter problems with getting images large enough to fit the
correct resolution for a clear picture. Also, some students may have some
problems downloading images from the internet.
3. When students become frustrated or have problems, I could take time out and
show examples on the over head projector for the entire class, so those who may
have problems can pay attention, and those students who are more experienced in
Photoshop can continue to work. Also, seating arrangements Have students who
are less experienced sit next to those students who know their way around
Photoshop.
4. For students who miss parts of class their will be a list on the projector of what
was covered the previous day. Also, there will be time assigned during school for
students who want to use their lunch period to work on their assignment. Their
will also be additional time before and after school, for students to catch up on
their work.
