The area that we are focusing our lesson plan on is visual arts which consist of children creating or expressing their artistic skills through those forms of art. Through the articles that our group has found and the information that was provided to us in those articles were able to create a lesson plan based on the standards that we have selected. These articles will help us with our lesson plan because it provides us with insights on how to help or assist the students in developing their creative side. Also through these articles we will also able to instill a better understanding of visual, spatial, and perceptual skills which will influence the students’ creative process. In one of the articles it talked about we using magazines to cut out images that represent our picture.
 * STANDARD 2 "Knowing and Using Arts Materials and Resources"**
 * Summary:**

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 endeavors, promote problem solving abilities; 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. Lastly, through these articles we as teachers will be able to gain a better perception and understanding about the students’ expression of art and its influence in their everyday life.

Lesson Plan

__What I did on my Mid-Winter Break__

__Aim:__ In your minds eye what kinds of picture would you use to describe your Mid-Winter recess.

__Connection:__ For me to gain a better understanding of the students interest academically, personally and artistically.

__Model:__ Introduce "It's Winter- Celebrate the Season" by Linda Glaser. This type of book can help children recall, imagine and share the fun experiences they had during the mid-winter recess break. Then I will create a quick sketch of my mid-winter recess activity. When the sketch is finished I will demonstrate how to frame the finished drawing using glue. Finally; I will show the students where artists sign their name at the bottom of the illustration when they are done with their work and write a brief statement explaining what the drawing represents.

__Active Engagement:__ I will ask a few students to share their fun winter break activity and experience with the rest of the class.

__Link:__ Today and everyday young artist such as these students will allow their experiences to influences their artwork.

__Working Independently:__ Students will create a memory of a fun moment or activity that they did during their mid-winter break. Using crayons, construction paper, glue and other art materials to depict there experience and bring their story to life.

__Mid-Workshop Interruption:__ Have students stop drawing and regain their attention. Then show one or two student’s work to the class and specifically exemplify what is good about their work.

__Share:__ I will show two students artworks, one that is done exceptionally well and one that is good but could use more work. I will explain what is good about the work and where improvements can be made. I will also ask the class some assessable questions:

What did they learn today? How did we make our artworks today? What kinds of techniques did you use to create your artworks? Is your picture done with warm or cold colores? What feelings do those artworks evoke?
