Unit Title SCVAS
Mon Intro *Daily Affirmation-will be mentioned but practiced the following class
period
This is the first class I will have with my new babies. The goal of this
class and for the entire week is to get to know my students and observe
how they operate as individuals and in a group setting.
The worksheet will ask the basic questions such as personal, artistic, and
general schooling questions. The worksheet will also have a fun question
section that will ask them about snacks they like, music, interest, and if
they were an object or a thing what would they be?
After the work sheet is filled out and turned in to my bucket, I will have
us all do a similar buzzfeed to this one
(https://www.buzzfeed.com/adamdavis/what-color-best-describes-your-i
nner-personality) which ask them about their color personality. From
there I would group up similar colors and have them talk to each other
for a moment to get to know everyone in their group.
*I would also take the quiz and put myself in the group that matches
my color(Purple,You are a highly spiritual and introspective person,
never shying away from any opportunity for personal growth and
reflection. Your idealism does not hold you back from reality, but rather
shapes the way you approach and solve problems. You are a calming
force.)
Once the groups have settled down I would then introduce myself to the
entire class and go over classroom management, expectations, and rules.

(copy paper, water color, mixed media paper, bristol, etc.)
-We would then bind the books together by punching holes in the paper
and binding them to the front and back covers. We will either sew the
books together or they can tie it together with string. I feel comfortable
with allowing for them to choose how they want to bind the books in a
more creative way with my help.
-the last step would be to add a pocket in the front or pack for scrap
papers or other objects they might find interesting.

I would then have them journal the colors that are associated with them
and how they relate to their lives. From here I will have them take this
quiz:https://personalvalu.es/personal-values-test, and jot down what their
values are.
Once they got their five core values I will have them match them up to
the color they think best represents that color.

The rest of the time will be used for them to play around in photoshop
editing their photos and getting accustomed to the tool if they have never
used it before.
The students will be tasked with creating a collage with at least 4 of the
images they took a picture of yesterday. They can also pull imagery from
the internet in order for them to create their digital collage.
Once they have created at least 2 versions of a digital collage they will
send them to me so that I can print them out for the next part of our
lesson.
Students will start the class period off by locating their paper collages
that they made at the start of the week. They will then go into their
sketchbooks and think about how they could possibly combine their
physical collage with their digital collages.
Students will have the option to either document the physical collages
and add them to their digital collages, or have the ability to cut their
digital collages and add them along with the physical collages.
