LESSON PLAN # 1 Date / Week: February 20, 27, March 6, 20, April 3, 10, 2018
Student Teacher: Anna Bateman
Lesson Title: Visual Identity Lyrics Puzzle
Grade Level: 8th grade
Number of Students: 9 students
Time Available for this Lesson: Six 40-minute periods, 240 minutes total
Central Focus (Big Idea): Students will learn that analyzing music reveals many different
personal meanings, emotions, and experiences that can be represented through art that
visually communicates an individual identity.
i) interpreting art Students will learn that many artists express their identity through
interpretation of external experiences, issues, and interests in their own unique way through
text, symbolism, materials, color, and relation to location.
ii) developing works of art/design Students will learn that there are numerous mixed media
methods that can be used to visually represent the many elements to a song, including texture,
shape and line, abstraction and representation, and the investigation of composition.
iii) relating art to context Students will learn that analyzing a song of their choice and visually
translating the lyrics to represent their identity is an effective way to connect art, music, and
poetry.
Essential Questions:
• What is an identity?
• How complex can an identity be?
• Why is it important for an individual to express their identity?
• How does expressing an identity benefit the individual?
• How can art be used to express identity?
• How can a song be used to express identity?
• How can art and music be combined to express an identity?
• Why is it important to use music as a way to define an identity?
• What are some ways an identity can be visually represented?
• How does an identity relate to song lyrics?
• How can art be used to articulate this relation?
• Why is it important for art to be used a tool to express the complexity of an identity?
State Goals:
Goal #25.A: Understand the sensory elements, organizational principles and expressive
qualities of the arts.
25.A.3e: Analyze how the elements and principles can be organized to convey meaning
through a variety of media and technology.
25.B.3: Compare and contrast the elements and principles in two or more art works that
share similar themes.
In this lesson: Students will thoughtfully select a song of their choice that accurately
represents their identity to be visually portrayed through a mixed media puzzle,
thoughtfully interpret symbolism, emotion, adjectives, texture, and a personal experience
relating to selected lyrics through the Think Sheet, and creatively decide how they want to
visually portray their own identity through interpretation of their song of choice.
Goal #26.A: Understand the processes, traditional tools, and modern technologies used in
the arts.
26.A.3e: Describe how the choices of tools/technologies and processes are used are
used to achieve different effects in the arts.
26.B.3d: Demonstrate knowledge and skills to create 2- and 3-dimensional works and
time arts (eg. Film, animation, and video) that are realistic, abstract, functional, and
decorative.
In this lesson: Students will creatively design the outline of their puzzle with at
least 5 pieces on 20” x 28” sheet of cardboard primed with gesso, students will
creatively design their visual identity lyrics puzzle, skillfully use at least four
of the provided mixed media materials and will cleanly and carefully cut out their
puzzle pieces with an X-Acto knife to become a functional puzzle.
OBJECTIVE II: Given their selected song of choice, students will IL25.A.3e
successfully interpret symbolism, emotion, adjectives, texture,
and a personal experience relating to selected lyrics through the
Think Sheet.
OBJECTIVE VI: Given masking tape, fabric, acrylic paint, tissue IL26.B.3d
paper, construction paper, texture making tools, Sharpie, and
pens, students will skillfully include at least four of the listed
materials.

5.2 Instructional Resources and Materials:
Jenny Holzer: Holzer’s work is an effective example of site-specific textual work. The
social commentary she expresses through her words or phrases provides compelling
evidence of personal interpretation. Though she is interpreting her world around her,
experiences, and social issues, Holzer’s work is a great reference for the eighth graders
and their visual lyric analysis puzzle. If the students wish to incorporate text in their puzzle,
they will be advised to refer to Holzer’s work and observe how she textually depicts what
she is passionate about.
Helen Frankenthaler: Frankenthaler’s work is an example of expression through the use
of color. Students will be required to use color in ways that express their identity and
emotions and her work is more than appropriate for this.
Frida Kahlo: Kahlo’s surrealist paintings hold many excellent examples of symbolism
without representing the literal issue on her mind. Since her work is symbolic of her own
personal strife, asking students to refer to her work for symbolism inspiration would be
effective, especially when representing their identity.
Lea Basile-Lazarus: Her work is an example of creating balance in a composition. She
also successfully combines geometric and organic within a composition.
Mary Saran: Saran successfully creates organic compositions.
Cherry Rahn: Rahn successful creates organic compositions.
Rebecca Alston: Alston successfully creates a geometric composition.
Robert Rauschenberg: Rauschenberg’s mixed media and collage work will be included
as examples for the students to refer to for inspiration on manipulation of materials such as
layering, composition, alternation and display of materials, and texture. These are elements
that are expected to be included in the students’ puzzles and by incorporating
Rauschenberg’s work as a resource, I believe it will strengthen their mixed media
processes.
Think Sheet: The Think Sheet will be filled out by the students on the first day to help them
understand the project as well as gain some inspiration and ideas of what song they want
to choose for the project. Students will select lyrics from the song, identify representational
words from the lyrics, identify adjectives and emotions to describe the lyrics, and identify a
personal experience relating to the lyrics, to ultimately establish a new way to visually
represent the lyrics and their meaning to the student.
Adjectives List: A list of adjectives will be provided for the students as an aid for filling out
the Think Sheet to emphasize the importance of using adjectives other than the basics,
happy, sad, funny, and angry. Students will be asked to use adjectives from the list.
Visual Board: Will provide examples of artists the project focuses on, examples of the
project, vocabulary, and an overview of the lesson.
Music Lyrics: Several songs will be provided for an analyzation activity on the first day as
well as the second day for any students who do not bring their own songs or fail to select a
school-appropriate song.
PowerPoint presentations: There will be a few PowerPoint presentations assembled for
the course of project. This is a step-by-step process project therefore, different artists
discussions will be shown for each step in the process.
Teacher samples: A teacher sample will be provided for the lesson as well as a
demonstration piece that will be worked on throughout of the course of the project.

I will explain the safety rules for hot glue guns such as, do not let anything, besides what you
are intending to glue, touch the tip of the glue gun. Keep the glue gun away from the edge of the
table to avoid any accidents. If anyone repeatedly does not abide by these rules, they will not be
allowed to use the glue guns and will resolve to using only Elmer’s glue.

9.1 Successes:
My greatest surprise was one of my students, Anna. At the start of the six weeks, she was
very difficult to work with as she would deliberately show no interest in the project. This not only
challenged myself as a teacher to gain patience and not get angry with her, but to also not give
up on her. I gave her more attention, smiled more, tried to get to know her, and as a result
urged her to personalize her work. The surprise was during the critique, when she explained her
work to the class. In her piece, she had broken popsicle sticks and placed them on her board,
created a yellow circular piece in the center with yellow strokes of paint radiating from the
center. She had stated how the songs title is “Hurricane” and is about a man describing his life
and hardships. The popsicle sticks were broken to represent the emotions he felt during his
hardships, and the yellow is representing not only the song’s title but the chaos of his hardships.
I was surprised to hear how much she had been understanding from the project, how to analyze
a song and interpret meaning from it, and how to use materials to symbolize emotions and
events in one’s life. Anna provided a lesson for me to listen to the students and inform them with
my actions that I am invested in what they bring forth in the art classroom.
The students collectively surprised me with the quality of knowledge they gained from this
project. I was hesitant on the first day, and nervous, because I was not expecting the students
to fully understand the identity component of the project. I did not want the class to think it was
only about analyzing a song, but to understand that it is a way to connect back to what makes
them who they are. However, after the first day of introduction and discussion, through the
students’ dialogue, questions, and responses, I knew they were understanding. They were all
clearly engaged as they were attentive and wanting to participate in the discussion. Student
showed clear understanding of geometric and organic and how they reflect different types of
emotion, and how color represents emotion. Through viewing Frida Kahlo’s work, students
were able to deeply understand how one’s identity can be symbolized through objects, color,
and composition. Their understanding was collectively observed through the quality of their
work during their critique. Students were fully understanding how to represent their identity
through their own visual interpretation of a song. Through reading their artist statements, even
the students that struggled with craftsmanship and weren’t fully able to communicate through
their project were able to clearly explain the meaning of their piece in writing.
9.2 Problems:
My greatest struggle with this class was the rowdiness, especially towards the end of the
Six weeks. I mentioned how surprised I was with the outcome of the project and how much the
students had proven they understood because of their behavior during the designing and
making of their pieces. I had to call for silent work time during a couple instances when they
were being very loud and were losing focus on the project. Another issue was many of the
students did not want to open up in front of their peers. Students would make jokes about their
piece, or would tell me how they have no reasoning for adding blue or adding sand paper. After
learning of how much they had understood during the final critique, I have decided to
incorporate a process critique if I were to repeat this lesson. After learning about the reasoning
behind many of their creative choices, I feel as though if they had experienced this critique in
the middle of the lesson, the resulting student work would be advanced.
9.3 Adjustments:
I am nothing but impressed with the students. Management was an issue in the beginning,
but after calling for silent time, and earning the students’ respect through demonstrating my
care for their projects, I was able to resolve the issue and develop a productive learning
environment. Since I only taught this class for six weeks, and the students had never met me
before, it was difficult for the students to open up for this lesson. I stated a working critique
would be helpful, meaning in the middle of the progress of the project, students would gather
into small groups and talk about the process and meaning behind their work. This would be
helpful because they would not feel pressured in front of an entire room of their classmates and
would learn more about their work, as well as a working critique would improve the overall
quality and outcome of their work.
I will definitely carry this lesson with me in the future of my teaching and feel as though it has
the potential to help students understand how music and art are greatly related in how they are
both expressive, especially of an individual’s identity. This lesson was appropriate for all
students, even Anna who was very difficult. The students were fully engaged and learned the
many meanings to line, such as organic and geometric, color in that it is representative of
emotion, and texture in that it is symbolic of emotions and actions. I feel as though this lesson
could also be adjusted to be engaging for high school students, as well as an expressive
experience for elementary students. This lesson was overall successful, and I can’t wait to see
what else it will bring creatively to students in the future.
