Teacher Activities

Introduction:
Students will be told to sit in front of the white
board. From here I will explain how the lesson
will go, starting with asking questions about
the deeper meaning that each student is
trying to convey through their piece. If they do

Student Activities

Students will come into the room and sit


down in a half circle in front of the white
board. They will sit quiet unless asked to
speak, but will do so raising hands and
participating in a cooperating manor.

not have one, try to come up with ideas and a


discussion about a meaning or message about
their piece. Once options are written on the
white board, students can be dismissed to
their seats to start any last preparations for
their piece. They can use any materials given
to add to their deeper meaning.

meaning behind their artwork is


encouraged! They will then go to their
seats and start by taking the meaning they
have created and applying it to their piece.

Development:

Students will start with looking at their


piece and adding or subtracting any
elements that they think will benefit to
convey their deeper meaning to the
audience. They can use any of the
materials at their table in order to add or
subtract. All mark making on their piece
should reflect their meaning. They should
be thinking about how to write their
meaning and description out also. It will
help them with the adding or subtracting
final touches.

Students will be told to use different materials


to convey their meaning through the use of
adding (or subtracting) material to their piece.
They are to stay in their seats and I will be
walking around to have all students stay on
task and help with any last minute ideas to
help them portray their ideas.

Conclusion:
Once they have finished their artwork, pieces
of paper and pencil can be passed around.
Students will be told to write at least three (3)
sentences about what their artwork means or
says to an audience. The more writing and
explanation the better. They will also write two
(2) sentences about their process or what they
learned through the last Mosaic lessons. Clean
up is next, students will be given clean up jobs
to help with the process.

Students will take the paper and pencil


they are given and think of what to write
about their pieces meaning. 3 sentences
will before for what the deeper meaning is,
and 2 sentences will be for what they
learned. After the writing portion is of the
lesson is finished, they will put all of their
papers in a pile at the front table, and then
leave their mosaic artwork at their table.
All other material can be put back to the
main table and then tidy up their own
space. Check the floor for extra materials
that have fallen.

Critical Comments and Reflections:


(Problems, successes, and what to think about for next lesson)

FEEDBACK NOTES:
I had to change a few things about the process but not a lot. This last class was very rushed.
I wish I had another day. But overall, I am very happy with the students testing out new
materials and creating a new piece of artwork they have never done. It would be beneficial
in the future to do more prep or longer demonstration, as well as a smaller piece of plywood
for the students.
