Lesson Plan For Wonder
Lesson Plan For Wonder
National Standards:
(1.)
Understanding and applying media, techniques, and processes.
Students apply media, techniques, and processes with sufficient skill,
confidence, and sensitivity that their intentions are carried out in their
artworks. Students conceive and create works of visual art that
demonstrate an understanding of how the communication of their
ideas relates to the media, techniques, and processes they use.
(2.)
Using knowledge of structures and functions. Students demonstrate
the ability to form and defend judgments about the characteristics and
structures to accomplish commercial, personal, communal, or other
purposes of art. Students evaluate the effectiveness of artworks in
terms of organizational structures and functions. Students create
artworks that use organizational principles and functions to solve
specific visual arts problems.
(3.)
Choosing and evaluating a range of subject matter, symbols, and
ideas. Students apply subjects, symbols, and ideas in their artworks
and use the skills gained to solve problems in daily life.
(5.)
Reflecting upon and assessing the characteristics and merits of their
work and the work of others. Students identify intentions of those
creating artworks, explore the implications of various purposes, and
justify their analyses of purposes in particular works. Students reflect
analytically on various interpretations as a means for understanding
and evaluating works of visual art

Enduring Big Idea (High School): Wonder
To Wonder is to open the mind.
Art is wonder in and of itself.
Wonder is the feeling of the philosopher, and philosophy begins
in wonder Plato.

Opportunities (High School):
With each of these materials, each student will have a wide variety of
choices to create their art-binding book. They will be allowed to make
value judgments about which materials will best fit their purpose and
foster creativity throughout the processes of creating this art book.
Summative Unit Evaluation (High School):
Evaluate each student at the beginning of the lesson to determine
which goals will help each student. Then again in the middle of the
lesson with a one on one evaluation to determine if that student has
progressed to the goals that have been set. Then, again at the end of
the lesson, to measure their progress in each skill and have they
improved.
Objectives:
The student will examine different ideas that contain images of wonder
and discuss ways that wonder can change their artwork. Each student
will understand the wonder of water in the art making process. First is
the papermaking processing, pulling pulp fibers into sheets of paper
from a vat of water with a mold and deckle. Designing and making a
watermark on a deckle that they will use in the papermaking process.
They will work with Jacquard marbling ink, this ink floats on top of the
water to create a background on half or the whole page of their hand
pulled papers. Last they will bind their finished pages into book form
with the chain stitched binding to create a finished book on wonder.
Lesson #1: Watermark
helps to decrease the draining time when pulling a sheet of paper. Hog
the vat by immersing both hands in the vat and shaking them softly
below the water line. Do this between each sheet of paper.
-Using a mold and deckle, you will pull a sheet of paper. The deckle
(frame alone) fits over the mold (mesh screen over a frame). Holding
the mold and deckle with both hands on either side with the deckle on
top, with the mesh screen facing up, lower it vertically into the vat.
Gradually tilt it horizontally on the bottom of the vat towards you,
making sure it is well below the surface of the water. Let the water
drain for 15-20 seconds. Gently lift the deckle frame off and set it to
the side.
-Turn the mold over and couch it onto a wet felt. The easiest way to get
the wet sheet off the mold is to rock it onto a wet felt. To remove the
excess water from the couched sheet of wet paper, Place another felt
on top of the wet sheet stack 10 high, this is call a post.
-Pressing To press the stack of wet sheets of paper you need to use a
hydraulic press, but a wet vacuuming can be used in its place. This s
done by placing the post on a table then added a silkscreen like fabric
on top, the cover with plastic and vacuum out the water. The sheet
remains on the screen until dry.
-Restraint, dry your paper for 24 hours. A restrained dryer is a flat
weight that presses the paper between screens that allow airflow
around the paper.

Teacher Reflection:
How will each student be evaluated in this lesson and is it successful? I
will evaluate by doing a list with indicators in each section of the
lesson. Three times over the course of the lesson they will be able to
change or re-evaluate their artwork to make sure that their final
product will be successful.
Each student will discuss their final project in a full class critique to
help them understand the lesson and to help judge whether or not they
grasped the lesson. Throughout the creative process, I will help guide
each students thinking by asking them to show me the drawings,
sketches, and written forms on why they chose to create each piece of
paper the way they did. This will prompt them to make value
judgments in their processes. In the end discussion, I will ask them to
share the material they most enjoyed, found most unique, or
unexpected and how these materials contributed to their final
