LESSONS & CURRICULUM
Scope & Sequence
My secondary-level scope & sequence, encompassed by the overarching theme of metamorphosis, covers a minimum of one 2D dry media, 2D wet media, sculpture, digital, and book/paper art project per year. All projects are aligned with state and national visual arts standards, and are designed with a balance of structure and open-endedness to encourage students to create original solutions to each artistic prompt.
​
Metamorphosis is the process of change. Each grade level includes seven units:
Emergence
Movement
Disruption
Variation
Adaptation
Transformation
Continuation
Each project coordinates with its corresponding unit theme.
Past, Present, and Future
This project is heavily inspired by this agamograph project by Mr. Gerard Kulzer. Students are divided into 3 groups to work collaboratively on a one composition. Together, they interpret the past, present, and future of their perceived world. After finishing each of the three pieces, assemble them into a collaborative agamograph/lenticular art piece.
Paper Dolls
This is a mixed media collage activity in which students will create literal representations of themselves as paper dolls and juxtapose these onto a metaphorical representation of how they see an environment (home, school, or another community) that is significant to their lives. Laminate the pieces and add magnets to display (and play!) on the fridge!
