Hopefully this can be read. If it is too difficult for you to make out, just let me know and I can type it all out on a blog post instead of attaching screenshots of my lesson plan. Happy art making!
Learning Outcomes: Students will… 1. Recognize how indecision can affect the outcome of a situation. 2. Apply the ideas of indecision to life, starting with art.
Materials • Paper • Pencils, Erasers, Pen and Ink, Crayons • Paint (acrylic, watercolor) • Materials for Collage
Procedures 1. Motivation: Students will watch a preview for The Story Trek and write down their thoughts. 2. Discussion: The class will discuss the theme of indecision in Hamlet, especially using certain quotes. 3. Think-Pair-Share: Students will brainstorm examples or ways that indecision can have positive or negative effects. The class will also discuss the ideas presented in The Story Trek. (Examples: Custer’s Last Stand, BYUtv’s The Story Trek, etc.) 4. Art History: the class will look at the works of Surrealists, especially the work of Jean Arp, and discuss the affects of indecision in these works. 5. Production: Students will start with a piece of paper. Using a system to choose random numbers, the students will create their artwork not based on decision, but chance and a set list of tasks. Each task must be completed in fifteen minutes.
Discussion Questions 1. Where can you see the theme of indecision in Hamlet? 2. What does Hamlet say about indecision in his soliloquy from Act 2 Scene 2? 3. What do you think of Hamlet’s words, “May my thoughts be bloody?” 4. When can indecision be a positive and/or negative thing?
Vocabulary Frottage: a technique in the visual arts of obtaining textural effects or images by rubbing lead, chalk, charcoal, etc., over paper laid on a granular or relief like surface. Collage: a technique of composing a work of art by pasting on a single surface various materials not normally associated with one another
Assessment Formative 1.Students will turn in their Brainstorming sheet for their Think-Pair-Share Activity Summative 2. The students will turn in their artwork with a rubric that both student and teacher will complete for a grade.
Adaptations → The number of tasks could be narrowed or expanded depending on the time frame of the activity. →Other tasks could also be used that would suit the needs of the classroom.
Extensions Why not have a group or combined class activity? The students could combine their ideas and skills into a group or class project
