Combining Artists' Styles -Lesson Plan

This lesson allowed for class of 4th grade students to go through a number of art book of various artists and pick two artists or artworks to combine into one art piece. This two-day lesson consisted of the following:
  • Day 1: Students researching and using their sketchbooks to write notes and sketch the artworks that they'd picked and combine them somehow
  • Day 2: Students would be given a thicker type paper that could handle multiple mediums. Student would be encouraged to use multiple mediums for their art work.
  • Possible Day 3 in case students weren't able to finish, but most students were able to complete their work within the 2 predicted days of work.

Case Study: Students With Special Needs

  • For students with special needs, the Combining Artists' Style Lesson and the lessons provided within the Visual Story Telling Unit Plan can be modified and accommodating to students with special needs.
  • Using the Combining Artists' Style Lesson as an example:
    • The special needs students would still have the opportunity to explore various different mediums and creating multimedia work
    • However, the lesson would be modified so that the students would be drawing/painting/etc. an animal or subject matter that they're already familiar with.
