My students will benefit from the resources that I have requested because they will have a chance to showcase their painting on an actual canvas.
They will start painting with paper at the beginning of the semester and at the end of the semester demonstrate their final project on a canvas that will be showcased to the entire school at our art festival.
The demographics of our school are that we are in a rural, low income environment, where supplies are not readily available to students at home. Therefore, many students gain their learning through school where they are exposed to resources (eg. canvases) that will help them learn. The majority of the student population at our school are native Hawaiians.
My students are special because they will be able to demonstrate native Hawaiian art that is personal to them in their artwork as well as the general art curriculum that I will be teaching them.
My Project
The resources will make a difference in my students’ learning by getting them excited for their final project which is completing a Painting on Canvas for our Searider Art Festival at our school.
Objectives of this project
1. My students will Complete an Acrylic Painting on Canvas incorporating the Elements of Art and Principles of Design.
2. My students will Participate in the Searider Art Festival
3. My students will stand by their Canvas and easel speaking about their work to the school community.
What will be taught and what will be learned?
Standard 1: Understand and apply art materials, techniques, and processes in the creation of works of art and understand how the visual arts communicate a variety of ideas, feelings, and experiences.
