LTC 4240: Art for Children Unit Title & Big Idea: Relationships Unit Overview/Summary: Students will gain knowledge of relationships through more aspects than just people relationships. They will look at the relationships that work together to make something else and a combination of items that work together to make something else. Key Concepts (3-4) Students will learn how to use multiple layers of mediums to create a more meaningful item Chromatography can display the different components that make up a marker Students will learn what a narrative is and how it can be used to explain a visual. Grade Level: 3rd grade Class Periods Required: 7 full length classes

Essential Questions (3-4) What is a relationship? Where do we see relationships in our own lives? How do relationships affect the things around them?

Unit Objectives: (Excellent resource at http://www.teachervision.fen.com/curriculum-planning/new-teacher/48345.html?for_printing=1&detoured=1) Students will be able to display a relationship through the use of different materials in art. Students will be able to create a pop up of a special place in their life and write a story off of that pop up. Students will be able to observe the components of a black marker through chromatography.

Lesson Titles in Sequence/Order 1. Automatic Relationship

2. Lets Stick Together 3. Whos that chromatographer?

Narrative: A written account of connected events or stories Chromatography: Separation of a mixture by passing it in a solution through a medium. Layering: Arranging something in layers Brief Lesson Descriptions (2-3 sentences each) 1. In this art lesson, students will be asked to take a pencil, close their eyes and to draw a line as their heart desires on the piece of paper in front of them. After a minute, they will stop and then erase some lines. Students will then use utensils with resistance and water coloring to fill in lines and spaces as pleased. 2. In this writing lesson, students will create a pop-up of a place that has a special meaning to them. Students will then create a narrative to go along with the pop-up. 3. In this science lesson, students will be using inferences to discover what pigments make up a marker. Students will have to perform chromatography to find out which marker contains what pigments. Chromatography coffee filters will show a students relationship between himself or herself and the community or group and will be displayed throughout classroom.

Summative Assessment strategy: Students will be asked to make a classroom relationship artwork. As a class, students will work together as a whole to make a pop up of the classroom, incorporating the coffee filters and automatic drawings with the pop-up. (This will take one whole class to complete) What student prior knowledge will this unit require/draw upon? It will draw upon students ability to make inferences. Students will need to draw upon writing descriptive narratives. How will you engage students in imagining, exploring, and/or experimenting in this unit? Students will be engaged throughout each individual lesson plan. Through art they will be engaged by the freedom to express themselves however they wish and experimenting different materials. In lit the students will be engaged through the personal spotlight and making a 3-D figure. In science the students will get to solve a mystery and discover the making of a black marker. How will this unit allow for/encourage students to solve problems in divergent ways?

Art Integration Unit Plan Template Both art and lit are open-ended allowing for the students to perform the task however they wish. The science lesson allows for students to experiment different solutions and get to work in a group to solve a mystery. How will you engage students in routinely reflecting on their learning? Each lesson plan has a formative and summative assessment allowing for the student to reflect on learning.

How will you adapt the various aspects of the unit to differently-abled students? I will allow for group work for those students who need extra assistance and will provide for lengthened or more work for those students that need more to do to occupy their time. What opportunities/activities will students be given to revise and improve their understandings and their work? Students will be given the opportunity to work in groups to improve upon their thinking and through formative/summative assessment. What opportunities/activities will you provide for students to share their learning in this unit? Students will be able to share their learning through group work and class discussion.
