211 UNIT PLAN
IPTS (2013) - STANDARD 1 - Teaching Diverse Students - The competent teacher understands the diverse characteristics and abilities of each student and how individuals develop and learn within the context of their social, economic, cultural, linguistic, and academic experiences. The teacher uses these experiences to create instructional opportunities that maximize student learning.
Acrylic Unit:
Description and Rationale
Description: This unit is built so that each day students are learning something new, as well as expanding on what they learned in the previous class. Students will learn through a series of quick formative assignments so they can get used to the material/grow confidence using it. Then they will use all of the skills from the practices in a longer-form summative project, that requires them to think through their decisions as they work.
​
Rationale: This Unit is built so that at the end of it, students will have a basic understanding of why/how acrylic has been used, as well as be able to demonstrate introductory-level skills applying acrylic paint themselves.

Artwork Example!!
Description: This is my example of what I expected from my students at the end of the Acrylic studio project.
Rationale: The requirements were loose, and I wanted to demonstrate that as long as the students met them, the assignment is open for creativity! I wanted them to each interpret it their own way.
Teacher Example:
Example Assessment
​
Explanation: For this formative practice, after a PowerPoint and demonstration on how to use 8 different painting techniques students were asked to demonstrate 3 of them, using the same imagery.
Rationale: This was the third lesson (after color mixing and a value scale) so I am assessing their confidence levels the the material as well as if I needed to include another day of instruction on Acrylic before moving on to the project.
