Lessons-Group+6

Here's a start:
 * Group 6 Visual Arts **

>>The teacher has her students working in 3D- specifically, the medium of clay and she wants her students to make connections with clay as an artistic medium through the ages- recognizing similarities and contrasts across time and space.<<

For mapping the curriculum, outlines and assessment materials check the **OCC:** Could be expanded to form a Unit for Visual Arts
 * Lesson Outline **

Using graphic images and/or artifacts from clay works around the world and through the ages. Have students observe similarities, techniques, and make statements regarding what they have noticed. They should comment on techniques, shapes, symbols, finishing, categories of pieces and other observations they have made.
 * Preliminary Activity: **

Have students select time periods, clay forms, historical contexts, influences, cultural motifs, techniques, art concepts and elements. Students are to make presentations to peers about their findings.
 * Preliminary Research: **

Students are to create an original piece and create a document outlining the influences upon their development.
 * Studio Work: **

Host a gallery walk in the library and have other students comment on the work describing the influences they observed. Cover the artists' document until peers have had a chance to state their observations, and then use the documents as a self-check. A note page can be produced so that the other students must record their observations prior to self-checking.
