5. Visual ART UNIT PLAN
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to develop a Unit Plan in the visual arts for your elementary
students that includes the research and images from your Art Tal Po!erPoint Presentation. It is important to !rite the unit
plan in enough detail that someone else could follo! your plan. As part of the unit plan, you will describe four related visual art
experiences that guide students through an art process that you can implement in your elementary classroom. The outcome of the art
unit plan will be one finished work of art produced by your students in your elementary classroom in your field placement during Fall
2!". #ou will include the Art Talk PowerPoint in one of the lessons in your unit plan. #ou will try the art experiences yourself and will
engage in the entire art production process. "ou !ill try this unit plan this summer either !ith a !hole class# a single child# a small
group of children or !ith your family to see ho! you need to modify your plan for your elementary field placement students.
#ou will conceptuali$e a mini%exhibition for displaying the artwork in your classroom or in another location in your school. #ou may work
individually or choose to work with one other peer working at the same grade level. Think about how you can structure your unit to build
student skills and to engage students in the art process to create at least one finished work of art. &n essence ' (ow will you build on
your students) prior knowledge* +hat will your students learn through engaging in the art process* +hat new skills will they develop*
+hat media and techni,ues will they learn how to use* +hat are you teaching them about looking at art, making art, and talking about
art* +hat do you hope they will understand and will be able to do through their experiences in this process*

Sub0ect: 1eac(ing 4isual %rts $nit &lan in t(e 'lementar Classroom
Than> you for your wor> with our teacher candidates enrolled in the College of Education Teacher
Education Program! I a//reciate the maGor role our mentor teachers assume in the /re/aring
/rofessional educators for their wor> with children and their families!
,ll of our teacher candidates enroll in ITE )&*, +isual ,rts, Elementary, which focuses on the study
and teaching of the visual arts in the elementary curriculum! Most of our teacher candidates are
wor>ing in /u1lic school settings where the classroom teacher is re?uired to also /rovide consistent
se?uential instruction and e2/eriences in the visual arts! In some settings our candidates have the
o//ortunity to colla1orate with visual arts s/ecialists to develo/ art lessons that are lin>ed to content
across the curriculum!
5ne area that we focus on is integrating the arts across the curriculum to 1uild on and reinforce
conce/ts that are im/ortant in other disci/lines! Ke 1elieve that the visual arts /roduction
e2/eriences /rovide tangi1le evidence of student learning and achievement and also alternative forms
of student assessment that demonstrate what students >now, are a1le to do and care a1out!
Ke involve our teacher candidates in a /rocess a//roach to creating wor>s of art that includes
e2/eriences in art /roduction, art history, art criticism and aesthetics! Ke >now that having
e2/eriences in the arts also re?uires some time to reflect on these e2/eriences in order to create new
connections and new ways of >nowing!
1(e information printe* on t(e bac- of t(is page articulates t(e fiel* component of our course.
1(is assignment re6uires our teac(er can*i*ates to *evelop an* implement a unit plan in t(e
visual arts. Four teac(er can*i*ate create* a unit plan *uring summer 2014 t(at s(eA(e (opes
to implement in our classroom *uring fall 2014. If t(e sub0ect matter of t(is unit plan *oes
not fit ,it(in our curriculum. t(e teac(er can*i*ate ma c(oose to c(ange t(e sub0ect matter
an* use similar strategies. It is important to note t(at t(e can*i*ate (as access to ot(er unit
plans *evelope* b t(eir peers. ,(ic( t(e ma also c(oose to teac( ,it( our gui*ance an*
t(eir mo*ifications.
Ke also 1elieve that seeing what students are really ca/a1le of doing re?uires them to create all of
the artwor> themselves! This eliminates using any ty/e of adult created /attern and /rovides a more
authentic assessment tool that focuses on the child and his:her a1ility to communicate visually!
It is my e2/ectation that the teacher candidates will discuss their ideas with you and share their unit
/lans with you 1efore im/lementation of the lessons! Please contact me if you have any ?uestions or
concerns!
