7. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
Students will discover and investigate how to make a stop motion film using
organic and geometric shapes. They will identify multiple solutions for their film to
make it a successful video.
What is the pros and cons to publish on these either of these sites?
What would you change about this project?
What went well for your group?
What advice do you have for other students trying to do this process?
Do you see three organic and three geometric shapes?
Do you understand the story being told?
What other feedback to you have?
What went well, what did not go well? What do you need to do differently? Other
students in the class will then ask questions of the group too.
What do you notice about my art?
Who is Tim Burton?
What movies did he make?.
How was this movie made?
What is stop motion?
What do you think the characters were made out of?
Thumbs up if you think this movie took a long time to make. Thumbs down if it
took a short time.
Show me on your hands the number of years it took to create this film.
Why do you think the artist used clay?
What are the characters feelings?
create props and background. Day 6 students will experiment using Lego movie maker
app making a stop motion film. We will then reflect on the process. Day 7 and 8
students will create a stop motion film. Day 9 students will view classmates films and
give feedback day 10 students will share videos digitally.
Anticipatory Set- (Opening that engages and motivates students)
o After viewing the nightmare before Christmas trailer ask students how was
this created? How could we create our own stop motion films?
o What questions will you pose about the art they view?
o How are these films art? How were they created? What mood are the
characters exhibiting?
o What questions will you use to put students in a position to understand the
concepts, skills and techniques involved in your studio activity? What is
an organic shape? What is a geometric shape? What is stop motion?
What is a shape that has rules? What is a shape that you invented?
Body of lesson- (Students actively engaged in learning) (students will
create a stop motion film)
Closure- After the project is complete students will upload their work
digitally. As a class we will decided if we want the work to be uploaded on
the school's art weebly site or on individual sites? Or is there somewhere
else that we could upload it that would work better? Students will then
conduct a gallery walk and view each other's art.

Last art class you were given feedback on your current film. I
have wrote down notes for you to help you with deciding on
solutions for your stop motion film.
I have taped off where you should place the iPad on the
locker shelf so it aligns correctly.
Students will create stop motion film.
I will walk around and check on progress.
Closing- as students line up ask the class what is one piece
of advice that you would give the class?

Your group will spend 4 min viewing each group's film. Within
the 4 min you need to watch the video, then fill out the google
doc.
Do you see 3 organic and 3 geometric shapes?
Do you understand the story being told?
What other feedback to you have?
Please remember netiquette and to give helpful feedback. I
will give a 1 minute warning and at the end of that minute
your group will rotate to the next film.
Closing- Ask students to share one thing that they found
interesting that another group did.

Would also be nice if the digital learning teacher could come in and help with the
first day of creating the stop motion film.
What do you need to practice and prepare for this lesson?
For teacher practice you need the planning guide, a iPad with the Lego movie
maker app installed (free app) and paper. Nothing else really needs prepared
because we are using paper and scraps. Markers are already organized in
supply boxes. Glue and scissors are already on tables with pencils. App needs to
be installed on all iPad. I will have to ask to borrow iPad from teachers.
What did you learn from creating your teaching exemplar?
I learned that its important for the students to have a practice day. It did not take
long for me to create the video probably only like 15 to 20 minutes. But it became
frustrating when pieces were moving that I did not want to move. Because of this
I will offer sticky tack to the students. The music teacher created the stop motion
film with me. I wanted an accurate representation of working with someone. It
was extremely helpful and we were able to bounce ideas back and forth.
Sometimes it took two hands to move the props or to hold the props. I think it
would be ideal to only have two students per iPad but I do not have enough IPad
available to me to meet this goal. I feel confident that the students will be able to
work in groups of three.
16. TEACHER REFLECTION: How will you know that this lesson is successful
and meaningful? List indicators.
I have learned through standards referenced reporting that the end product is not what
is important it is the skill being gained. The major indicator will be if the majority of my
students reach a three on my standards referenced reporting proficiency scale. When
the project is over I plan to ask the students what they think of it. If the students like it
and feel like it should be taught again then this would be another major indicator for it
being successful and meaningful. Another look for would be how independent are the
students being. Are they able to work independently? Or do they need a lot of help? If
they need a lot help then I need to think about if this project is grade level appropriate.

Names______Emily_______________________________________________
Target: I can create art using geometric and organic shapes.
I can identify multiple solutions for my art.
DirectionsWith your group discuss an idea for stop motion animation with paper cutting. It must include
geometric and organic shapes. Possible ideas could include: When Organic Meets Geometric,
or The Shapes Are Coming! or Meet the Shapes or you can create your own!
Write a short story about what will happen:
Dragon walks through the room. Stops shoots out a rainbow from her mouth onto a canvas. The
quote Art is what you can get away with. Andy Warhol will then appear.
