Overview: (A brief description of your instructional plan) This lesson is designed to engage the student in an analysis of the "portrait" as a window into history. It is a unit lesson presented in a studio class. The time span is three weeks.

 

Group discussions and observations will focus on content (the social, economic and political influences), style, and materials used in different time periods.

Students will be engaged in observation, discovery, inference, and reflection.

 

The student will produce a self-portrait in three sections, incorporating the style of an artist from  1800-1850, 1950-2000, and in their own style for 2001.

 

Keywords: (Key words are search terms that enable other teachers to locate your plan on the Web.) Portrait, Painting, Collage, Sculpture, Soft Sculpture, Pennsylvania Realism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Modern Art, Early American Art.

 

Learning Objective(s):  (What will students know and be able to do to demonstrate that they have reached the standard? List student competencies in clear, measurable terms.)

-The student will be able to identify, compare and contrast portraits from the 1800-1850's with those of  the 1950's-2000.

 

-The student will be able to identify historical details of objects, clothing, style, and medium of the portrait for a fact sheet.

 

 

 

Assessment-Task and Criteria:  What is the student performance that demonstrates they have met each objective?  Include actual assessment and scoring tool(s).  How will you judge “below basic,” “basic,” “proficient” and “advanced”?   Do you have a model/exemplar of your expectations?)

Advanced - Student shows outstanding ability to identify, compare and contrast the elements of portrait work in terms of historical content. 

Fact sheet shows excellent research.

Oral presentation is knowledgeable and complete.

Self-portrait incorporates understanding of the styles and mediums of the artists and their eras.

 

Proficient - Student is competent in ability to identify, compare and contrast the elements of portrait work in terms of historical content.

Fact sheet shows good research.

Oral presentation is interesting.

Self-portrait shows good understanding of the styles and mediums of the artists and their eras.

 

Basic - Student makes an attempt to identify, compare and contrast the elements of portrait work in terms of historical content.
