  1. Everyone.. …is a work of art

  2. Learning to Look Whether you know it or not, “art” is all around us. It isn’t just something for a few, or only viewable in a museum. We just need to learn to see it!

  3. This project is designed to help students see themselves and the world around them with different eyes; the eyes of acceptance and appreciation.

  4. Look at a person When you focus on the smaller details, you look without judgment, touch without fear and connect without misunderstanding. That clears the way for Self-Trust and Self Expression.

  9. Learning to Look Materials: Gallery Guide packet for each student Pencil or Pen A “gallery” of art Field Trip Textbooks (all subjects!) Art Prints (check your IMC)

  10. Descriptive Poem Materials Art Prints/Photographs (one for class example, other sources for students) Descriptive Poem worksheets (two—1 for class and 1 for presentation choice)

  11. Gathered Words: Descriptive—ragged fence, warm climate, flowing clouds, dusty air, strict horizon , nervous horses, brittle/unmovable rocks, gray/green shrubs, brown ground, white horse, brown horses, rusty ground, cool blue sky. Actions—galloping, talking, towering, teetering, sitting, rumbling, rolling. Emotive—anxiety, frustration, loneliness Conversation “What are you doing, young clouds?” mused the plateau. “We are changing the sky with our winds.” “Something is coming,” chomped the white pony. “Perhaps our freedom!” pawed the brown. Circle 10 “images.” Assemble images into a poem.

  12. Corralled The ragged fence The strict horizon is gentled. Will not contain The flowing clouds. Young clouds change the sky With their winds. Rusty-red ground Is pounded to dust Freedom is coming. By anxious hooves. Rumbling its arrival,Every student writes their own poem based The coming storm on the same piece. You can have them share. Rolls across The still plateau.

  13. Landscape Poem (9+) Materials: Art Prints/Photographs (one for class example, other sources for students) Landscape Poem worksheets (two—1 for class and 1 for presentation choice) This is the most difficult poetry assignment. You may need to teach/review elements of poetry prior to this lesson.

  14. I Know What I Like! Materials: Copy of the Art Appreciation Terms and a I Know What I Like Packet for each student Pen or pencil 5 stations, with a piece of “art”, the art term’s information, and the “Looking At Art Group Procedure” steps. A timer I usually divide the students into groups of 4-6, and send them to each station together. I encourage them to discuss the work and fill out the worksheet together. I then wander and monitor each group, having them change every 10 minutes.

  15. I Am Poem Materials: l Am Poem worksheet for every student Paper and pen or computer This is a fill-in-the-blank poem. It is based on Native American chanting. It celebrates individuality, and has no right/wrong answers. Depending on your students’ skill level you might need to teach/review the parts of speech before giving this assignment Some classes will need no structure, others may need step-by-step guidance.

  16. Writing Assignments Hunters and Gatherers Art Aloud! Art Alive! Art Inscribed!

  17. Hunters and Gatherers Materials: Hunters and Gatherers Worksheet for each student Words printed and cut up; organized according to category Works of “art” around the room The students pull one word from each category. They then find a work of “art” that has all three words. They complete the worksheet and present to the class. You may need to teach/review the parts of speech prior to this lesson.

  18. Art Aloud! Materials: Art Aloud! worksheet for each student Lined paper, pencil or pen Two works of “art” The students write a conversation between the pieces of “art.” This can be fun, especially when you choose pieces that do not contain human beings! This is a great opportunity to teach/review personification and correct punctuation for dialogue. You can have the students read their conversations aloud with another student.

  19. Art Alive! Materials: Art Alive! worksheets for each student Works of “art” Lined Paper Pencil or pen This is an “outside/in” approach to writing.

  20. Art Inscribed! Materials: Art Inscribed! worksheet for each student Pencil or pen Novel or short story This is an “inside/out” approach to writing, and involves the highest level of abstract thinking.

  21. Presentation Tips Have students sign up ahead. Students should let you know what technical support they will need ahead of time. The entire presentation should be rehearsed and no longer than seven minutes. The music selection should be introduced, then played as background.

  22. The ME-sterpiece Projectis for everyone because everyone is a work of art!!
