Course Vision
These are the 4 pillars upon which I intend to shape my teaching practice around.
Regardless of the subject, I strongly believe that these pillars should inspire
everything you do. They become especially important when considering the
implications of art education in the lives of students.
Exploration.
To allow my students to learn by doing, becoming fully engaged and
immersed in their learning experience.
It is my aim as an art educator to allow my students to engage authentically with the world
around them, without fear of judgment or failure. In doing so, students are able to create
meaningful, aesthetic experiences that spark inquiry, interest, and creativity.
Integration.
To offer my students endless opportunities with new and innovative
resources and knowledge that will enhance their learning
experience.
It is my aim to ensure that students are exposed to a diverse range of media and techniques. At
times, when interacting with material, it feels right. People are often drawn to one particular
media but it is my job as an art educator to expose students to alternative expressive resources
and to push them outside of their comfort zones.
Imagination.
To promote the development of the wonders of creativity in student
learning experiences.
Imagination is integral in art production, product, and process. Without imagination, the possibilities
of critical thinking and reflection-based practices become limited to rational considerations, limiting
expression and the freedom to confront and challenge perceived normalities within society.
Growth.
To encourage my students to shoot for the moon and be the best they
can be in all that they do, inside and outside of their learning
experiences.
My aim as an art educator is to promote growth, inside and outside of my classroom. If I do
anything as an educator, I want to inspire students to be the best they can be, regardless of their
background and environment. I aim to build self-confidence in my students and support them in
fulfilling their individual goals.
Foundational Skills
Engage and Persist
This topic refers to the attitudes and dispositions of which students hold throughout the
duration of this course. This relates to a willingness to be present in learning activities and
a drive to overcome problems that arise throughout the design and creation process. It also
relates to helping students develop a sense of self-efficacy and confidence in realms beyond
the art classroom.
Express
This topic refers to the opportunities provided to students to share their ideas, beliefs, and
to explore difficult topics one may encounter in the world around them. This relates to
one's ability to have conversations about complex topics. conversations related to their
planning, and critiques throughout the creation process. This set of skills is to help students
find their voice, both orally and through their original artworks.
Observe
This topic refers to a student's ability to look beyond seeing. Following the process of
critical inquiry in the arts, students will observe, analyze, discuss, and interpret historical
artworks, as well as that of their peers and their own. Paired with intentional discussion,
observation requires students to look closley and apply how their understanding of the
elements of design influence the impact and meaning of art.
Reflect
This topic refers to a student's ability to engage introspectively in relation to the
discoveries, questions, and obstacles that arise throughout the course. This set of skills
requires students to look inward and be attentive to how choices and intentions influence the
overall harmony and meaning of an artwork. In addition, it allows students to explore how
their choices relate to who they are and what they are trying to communicate, alongside
its aesthetic effectiveness.

Preconceived notions about art and the quality of production tends to limit
students' willingness to take risks, explore, and commit to the process.
Throughout my previous practicum experiences, I have come to realize that
many skills that I possess, that aid in how I approach and navigate the
world around me, are often taken for granted. This first unit in the Art 10
Q1 course will ultimately form the foundations for how students will approach
and engage with solving design problems throughout the duration of this
course.
In this unit, students will learn about and engage with the elements and
principles of art, 14 categories that influence the effectiveness and aesthetic
compositions of all artworks. The gaining of this foundational knowledge will
help to better support students as they begin to branch out from teacher-
structured projects to pursue subjects that appeal to their personal interests.
A strong understanding of these elements will provide students with
vocabulary and techniques to be attentive to as they navigate their individual
learning journeys.
This lesson serves as an introduction to the unit, its expectations, and the projects to come. This presentation will be accompanied by the unit rubric,
a learning portfolio checklist, and additional resources to support students in their learning throughout the unit. Prior to engaging with the design
elements, I will introduce and get students working on the BWG project where students will use a limit of grey, black, and white paper to create
an interior and exterior composition.
Students will begin by sketching their intended composition, exploring the perspectives that will be required to consider when creating their
compositions. If there is time, Students will begin exploring how the value of the paper will create the illusion of a three-dimensional space.

Lesson 2: Elements + Stations
This lesson serves to teach students about the elements of art. The teacher will lead students through a presentation concerning the
elements and relevant vocabulary and knowledge, upon which students will take notes. Students will become familiar with the elements
and how they impact the harmony within a given composition.
After the completion of the presentation, students will participate in exploratory stations for each element. This serves to get students
working with materials and activities that get engage students' understanding of the elements in application. Students will later discuss
their findings with their peers in a group discussion after the stations are complete.

Lesson 3: Design Quiz + BWG Project
Lesson Students will begin the class by taking a formative quiz based on the foundational knowledge covered in the
to the elements of art. The quiz is structured as a select true/false question, a matching section (vocabulary
and a few short response questions. This quiz is developed to inform the teacher about where students may

Summary
understanding of the elements. This helps the teacher to better support students throughout the rest of this unit and beyond.
Students will use the rest of the class to work on developing their BWG interior and exterior compositions. Students will use
black, grey, and white paper to create the illusion of a three-dimensional space. Students will focus on line, shape, space, and
value to complete these compositions. The element stations from the previous class should help provide students with a novel
understanding of considerations relevant to solving the provided design problems that may arise.

Lesson 4: Tonal Rendering
The teacher will lead students through a brief minilesson regarding value, light sources, and tonal
rendering. This is to provide students with the required knowledge to complete the tonal rendering
assignment.
NOTES: Each lesson In this project, students will select an advertisement that appeals to them within their rendering
format is subject to abilities. Students will then copy the advertisement at a 1:1 scale ratio, focusing on a greyscale, tonal
rendering technique. Students will use charcoal or graphite to complete the assignment to as to hone in

students for the
In this lesson, students will learn how to grid an image and structure a corresponding grid to translate
course the composition. The teacher will lead students through a brief demo and exercise activity to practice this
skill.
Once the demo is completed, students will select an image and create a corresponding grid. Students will
then translate the image and work on developing the composition using varying textures in each section of
the grid, making for a dynamic exploration of line and texture.
In this lesson, students will use this class to develop their gridded compositions, applying their knowledge of line and texture. Students will
manage their time throughout the class, taking breaks as needed. The teacher will circle, observe, and engage with students as they work on
their compositions.
Near the end of the class, the teacher will introduce the parameters for the open composition assignment. Students have free reign over the
form, content, subject matter, and media used to develop their compositions. The one stipulation is that students use the elements covered in
this unit in their artworks.
Students will use this class to work on developing their choice of compositions using the elements of art. Students will manage their time
throughout the class, taking breaks as needed. The teacher will circle, observe, and engage with students as they continue to work on their
projects.
