Aim:
How will Students be able to use their everyday life experiences to create their own art work?

Standards:
__** [|Standard#2]  **__ Knowing and Using Arts Materials and Resources
 * STANDARD #1**: Creating, Performing and Practicing in the Arts.


 * Key Idea**: Students will make works of art that explore different kinds of subject matter, topics, themes, and metaphors. Students will understand and use sensory elements, organizational principles, and expressive images to communicate their own ideas in works of art. Students will use a variety of art materials, processes, mediums, and techniques, and use appropriate technologies for creating and exhibiting visual art works.


 * Performance Indicator**: Experiment and create art works, in a variety of mediums(drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, video and computer graphics), based on a range of individual and collective experiences.

As group we chose to do art as our subject. We felt that visual arts was best for our lesson plan. Visual arts is where children can create or express their skills through different forms of art. We have chosen different articles to help us make a detailed lesson plan. We feel that these articles will help us with our lesson plan. They will help us provide insights on how to help and assist the students in developing their skills as being an artist. The lesson plan that we have designed will be based on the standards of creating, using art materials, and resources. Students will have fun and will be more interested in artistic; self expression and increases focus which enhances learning. It will also increase confidence that carries over into other areas and the students will develop a sense of individuality and learn the importance of individual style. We use these articles as teachers and will be able to gain a better perception and understanding about the students. The Eric research engine's articles helped design our lesson plan by giving us information that we didn't have or may have forgotten. Also, it gave us ideas on activities we can work on. Last, it gave our lesson some support that we can always go look back on. The New York State Standard that can be applied to our lesson plan is standard #1 Creating, Performing, and Practicing in The Arts. Key Idea: Students will make works of art that explore different kinds of subject matter, topics, themes, and metaphors. Students will understand and use sensory elements, organizational principles, and expressive images to communicate their own ideas in works of art. Standard#2 knowing and using art materials and resources.Students will use a variety of art materials, processes, mediums, and techniques, and use appropriate technologies for creating and exhibiting visual art works. The performance indicators 1.1 experiment and create art works, in a variety of mediums (drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, video, and computer graphics), based on a range of individual and collective experiences, 1.2 develop their own ideas and images through the exploration and creation of art works based on themes, symbols, and events,1.3understand and use the elements and principles of art (line, color, texture, shape) in order to communicate their ideas,1.4 reveal through their own art work understanding of how art mediums and techniques influence their creative decisions. Students will be able to actively engage in the processes that constitute creation and performance in the arts and participate in various roles in the arts. As becoming new artists students will rely on images to communicate their experiences and ideas about community to their audience. Through this project students will be introduced to a new word (community); explore their ideas of community, and use both the visual arts and language arts to communicate this experience with others. (Students may think of the class or school as their community, or expand beyond the classroom walls to their neighborhood.)

 * Group Definition of Wiki and Weblogs:**

Wiki and Web blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; they have text, images, and links to other sources. Over all they are search engines that is a resource of information that is suitable for your needs.

Wikis and weblogs can be used as a potential teaching and learning tools in our lesson. The advanced educational software’s and online journals can be implemented as academic activities to promote students imagination, creativeness. We feel that they may have information that we don't have or may have forgotten. They may also give us new ideas to support our lesson.
 * How could Wikis and/or Weblogs be used in your lesson plan?**
