Unit Plan

Teacher Name: C. Despenza

Unit Title:

From Two Dimensional to Three Dimensional Creating an Armature

Content Area: Art 3

Grade: 11-12

Duration: Weeks

Standards and Benchmarks:

VA-CE-H4     Produce a visual representation of ideas derived from the study     of various cultures and art forms; (1,2,3)

VA-CE-H7     Maintain a sketchbook or journal and develop a portfolio.
(1, 4)

Objectives:

To develop a wire armature of 3 dimension from a drawing of a Welch Love Spoon. Create an armature in correct proportion to its’ drawing. Assembling 100 % of armature and start developing second half.

Creating embellishments for the armature.

Resources and Materials:

The Drawing, 16 and 18 gauge wire, pliers needle nose cutters, masking tape, and glasses.

Differentiation:

Student selection of appropriate materials and tools to work with. Checking (progress 2) 9 week project.

Preparing Students for the Lesson:

·        Transitions

·        Expected behaviors

Practice using hand tools in reproducing a design; following the process of assembling an armature. Armature in correct proportion to its’ drawing.

Assessment:

Use of materials and tools craftsmanship; observation of work habits, focus and effort.
