Unit Objectives
- Standards
- "Redesign an object, system, place, or design in response to contemporary issues." VA:Cr2.3.IIa
- "Visualize and hypothesize to generate plans for ideas and directions for creating art and design that can affect social change." VA:Cr1.1.IIIa
- Own Situation: Love for learning
- Cross Curricular Application: Psychology
- Objective: Experience and recognize the growth mindset
- Lesson: Skills and qualities can be learned and improved
- Activities:
- Brainstorming: ten minutes "hash it out" through drawing or writing or compiling images from the internet to the prompt:
- Describe yourself now.
- Describe who you want to be?
- What do you wish you were good at?
- Cross Curricular Application: Take the mindset test as a class (students writing down answers).
- Watch video that introduces the idea of growth mindset. Discuss applications (personal life, future, history, making art.)
- Make stuff
- Explain project leaving room for suggestions.
- Each student chooses something they want to make a picture of (anything: self portrait, animal)
- Each student draws a random scribble on a piece of paper and submits it to a basket. (rocks, clay bits, whatever can be used)
- Each students draws a scribble from the basket (or handed out).
- Using that scribble as the foundational structure for their picture they can add to it to create whatever they planned on making.
- Discuss how the scribble could still be what it needed to be.
This lesson idea seems to cover a lot of different really good ideas. failure, growth, how to learn, mindsets. I am a bit confused about what the students will do and what will be discussed.
