The HeART of All Things Clay - Lesson Plan 7

Title: The HeART of All Things Clay – Glazing – Week 7                                                                                                               
 Level or Course: Grades 9-12
Time Needed: 95 minute sessions
Over all Goals:  Description & Purpose. Include: 
·        What “big idea/concept” is the focus of this lesson? This is the larger theme that is explored in the lesson these are broad ideas such as identity, loss, etc.
o   Applying all of the concepts we have learned in this class in the form of color. What colors help us to better represent the designated emotion of the piece?
·        Why is it important for students to participate in this experience?
o   It will be a great review for students to remember what colors indicated to them the emotion of the different art works they looked at during the different lessons.
o   Applying glaze is also a difficult thing to do at times, so learning how to properly do it is important.
·        What art content/concept or technical skill are the students learning?
o   Glazing, Unloading a kiln

Objectives: What do you hope to accomplish? Include multiple objectives that address content, academic skills, social skills, etc.  Use the following format: TLW (The Learner will). Each objective should include WHAT the student will learn and HOW the student will learn it. The assessment is directly connected to these objectives.
TLW enhance the emotion being conveyed with their ceramic forms by applying color to their work.
TLW reflect on their ceramic work from the whole unit by discussing where they succeeded and where they need to continue improving.

NAEA Standards:  Generally a lesson focuses on a few of the standards. 

Responding
               Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work
               Proficient: Hypothesize ways in which art influences perception and understanding of human experiences.
Accomplished: Recognize and describe personal aesthetic and empathetic responses to the natural world and constructed environments.
Advanced: Analyze how responses to art develop over time based on knowledge of and experience with art and life.
How does learning about art impact how we perceive the world? What can we learn from our responses to art?
Anchor Standard 8: Interpret intent and meaning in artistic work.
Proficient: Interpret an artwork or collection of works, supported by relevant and sufficient evidence found in the work and its various contexts.
Accomplished: Identify types of contextual information useful in the process of constructing interpretations of an artwork or collection of works.
Advanced: Analyze differing interpretations of an artwork or collection of works in order to select and defend a plausible critical analysis.
How can the viewer "read" a work of art as text?


Visuals: Art History, Artist, information & examples

Supplies, Materials and Resources Needed: Materials, Technology websites, youtube, PowerPoint:
PowerPoint, variety of glazes, brushes, clean containers, Spotify
Vocabulary: an element or principle of design, or art concept that is being introduced that relates to the lesson.
Glaze: to give a vitreous surface or coating to (a ceramic or the like), as by the application of a substance or by fusion of the body.

Teaching Procedure Plan (with time needed for each part)
COMMUNITY TIME (30 MIN.) DOG TUGS
A.  Motivation/Hook/Introduction: Open with an activity that will engage the students, with a technical skill, PowerPoint, introduction to an artist or activity that relates to the lesson. (5 min.)
Class will begin with a PowerPoint looking at different ceramic works and how color helps to convey a certain message to the viewer. (5 min.)
As the teacher clicks through the slides, have students discuss what emotion they might feel coming through that piece, and how the artist succeeded in doing this with color. 
What do you already know about that color that would help you identify it as a certain emotion? How did the artist apply this color? Did it enhance the meaning or was it for aesthetic purposes?
B.  Instruction or Demonstration (8 min.)
               Teacher will demo how to apply glaze onto ceramic piece. (3 min.)
Using one of the class examples from another lesson, the teacher will begin applying glaze onto the piece using a brush.
               3-4 layers of glaze will provide the best results for the students work
Clean containers will be provided, as well, where students can also dip their pieces into glaze.
Remind students to keep the bottom of their ceramic pieces glaze free!
               Any glaze on the bottom will cause the piece to stick to and damage the kiln shelf.
               If students accidentally apply glaze onto bottom, have them remove excess with wet sponge. 
If students want a glossy finish, they will also have to apply a clear coat on top of their color of choice.
               Students will also be learning how to properly unload a kiln. (5 min.)
Teacher will gather students around the kiln, and demonstrate how to properly lift out the pieces and the kiln shelves.
Teacher should point out how the shelves are not touching any of the metal components (elements) in the kiln. If they did, this would damage the kiln, and it would not heat up properly.
It should also be noted how the kiln was loaded. Consistency is key. Use the same amount of posts in the same areas.
               Do not put any pieces on both the kiln shelves; this could warp your piece.
This part needs to include what concept or skill the students are learning and how they will model this in the lesson.
C. Work Period. Supply distribution, task analysis of student-teacher interaction, clean up procedures.  What is happening step by step in the lesson, what are the students doing for each part of the lesson plan and how does it unfold? (40 min.)
After students have completed unloading the kiln, have them bring their ceramic works over to the glazing table.
One of each ceramic glaze color will be placed on the table, and students will begin glazing their pieces. (40 min.)
               They will continue to work on glazing their pieces until the last 10 min. of the class.
If students finish glazing their work early, they could use the remaining class period to make up any projects they did not do, or create a whole new project.
               Glazing will not be doable for this project, so either the animal hair or engobe technique should be used.
D.  Closure: Reflect/Share. What strategies will I use to encourage sharing, complex communication, and critical thinking? What questions will I ask the students to engage them to discuss their art? (10 min.)
At the end of class, students will reflect on their work as a whole, and discuss with the class where they feel they  succeeded in their work and where their weak points might be. An idea of where they want to improve on their work, and what they want to try and do next in ceramics should also be mentioned. (10 min.)
E.  Rubric/Assessment/Evaluation: This needs to be measurable and specific. How will the the objectives be assessed? How will I know if the lesson was sucessful and the studentscan demonstrate in their work knowledge of what the lesson covered.

              
0 1 2 3 SCORE
Student paid attention during class and participated in class discussion  Student did not participate in the activities Student participated once or twice in the discussion, occassionally spacing off Student paid attention during the whole class, and raised their hand in discussion 2-3 times Student was an avid participator, and contributed meaningful ideas to the discussion
Student presented clean and finished work Seams were still visible, project requirements not achieved, work seemed unfinished Work is acceptable, clean seams, but not all project requirements met Work is finished, but failed to meet one to two of the requirements for the project Work is finished, and all requirements are met
Student used work time in class appropriately Did not come to class, or if they did, did not work on project Did some work during class time, but was goofing around/talking often and not staying on task Did a decent job of staying on task, occassionally got distracted, but was able to get back to work Worked hard on their project everyday in class, productive
