Strategies for Embedding Instruction: Fifth Grade

 

Performance Standard One: Students collaboratively observe, analyze and interpret a number of community public art pieces, exploring place and space through focus on artist content, style and technique and viewer’s interaction with and reaction to community public art.

 

Responding

Perceive/Analyze /Research

  1. In collaborative groups, students observe and respond to a diverse selection of community public art representing a range of styles and techniques while walking through a variety of neighborhood places, noting natural and constructed spaces, researching display history and artist’s intended purpose (2 class periods).
  2. In collaborative groups, students compare and contrast artworks in terms of content, stylistic characteristics, and techniques (1 class period).

Interpret

  1. Students discuss and record the moods and feelings created by the artworks and interpret the display space of the public art. (1 class period)
  2. Students observe and record non-classmate viewer interaction within the created public art display space by revisiting the neighborhood public art and recording observations through observational sketches, recorded interviews, photography or filming (1 class period).
  3. Students interview non-classmate viewers within the created display space, comparing and contrasting their own interpretations of the space with other viewers (1 class period).
  4. Students speculate and record their analysis regarding the original intent of the artist upon his/her audience and compare original intent with how the public art is perceived today (1 class period). 

Performance Standard Two: Students create an artwork that communicates something about a place that has significance for them, and is inspired by the content, style or technique of community public art collaboratively observed and analyzed, while demonstrating quality craftsmanship through appropriate use of materials, tools, and equipment.

 

Creating

Experiment/Imagine/Identify (1 class period)

  1. Students list, discuss and reflect upon various places significant to them.
  2. Students draw inspiration from their list of places and the public artworks observed within their community to create their own artwork about a place significant to them. 

Investigate/Plan/Make (1 class period)

  1. Students gain inspiration from content, styles and techniques of artworks viewed within their community as they plan and execute their own artwork about a place significant to them 

Reflect/Refine/Continue (4 class periods)

  1. Students create their own artwork about a significant place with a variety of teacher-provided materials.

Performance Standard Three: Students write an artist statement to be displayed with their completed work.

 

Connecting

Relate/Synthesize (1 class period)

  1. Students reflect upon and use art vocabulary to write about their choices regarding the place that they featured, the materials, techniques and stylistic characteristic used in creating their artworks, and how their choices were inspired by the artworks considered prior to beginning their own work.
