-Lesson #1
-6th Grade
-“Visual Culture” (with modifications for ELLs)
-Duration: 60 minutes
- Visual culture is a concept that students are exposed to every single day, thought they may not know
how to describe it or understand it. The goal of this lesson is to introduce students to the concept of
visual culture, and to show students examples of visual culture. We will also see through these
examples how students can change the visuals around them. This is important for students to learn,
not only from an educational standpoint, but from a personal one. Students should know that they are
never powerless to change a situation, or that they are powerless to respond.
- Visual Culture is comprised of the things around us and the culture of things we can see in our every
day lives.
- People can change their visual culture based on things like their TV choices, decorations, living
location, etc…
- Representation is part of visual culture, because it relates to us and what we recognize.
- Writing is an important part of visual culture.
V. Lesson Objectives:
1) Students will be able to examine what visual culture is and how they are a part of it.
2) Students will be able to verbalize elements of culture that they see every day (defining visual
culture) and describe the context of those.
3) Students will be able to define representation and recognition.
4) Students will examine writings of their own and use them to create art that reflects their visual
culture.
