Here is an example of a unit plan for a mixed grade 10-12 Art Foundations class. The material we are using in this unit is acrylic paint and the big idea we are exploring is the idea of home. Where is it? What does it feel like? How can we create a feeling of home for ourselves?
While we explore the idea of home and what it means to feel at home, we will be picking up colour theory, pigment mixing, brushstrokes, value hunting skills, continuing to build on proportion and the elements & principles of art and design using a variety of image development strategies. Though the theme gives students a jumping off point and the techniques and methods we explore will build skills in all students, each one is free to interpret the theme and make their own critical and creative choices.
