Desired Results
Established Goals GLO(s):
Rationale:
The motivation of the unit (or hook) will be expressed with the teachers
personal painting and love of art, as well as sharing a variety of unique artists that
will intrigue and excite the student. The special needs of the class have been
considered, this will consist of multiple ways of explaining, showing the techniques,
having directions written on the board, question asking and this allows for students
to go at their own pace while playing and exploring the materials provided. This
painting unit will allow for students to explore their inner-self, such as, what they
think happiness, anger etc. look like, but while also exploring their environment and
getting inspiration from what is around them.
At this age peer influence is a large factor that can alter how a student might
feel, with this in mind, this unit allows for students to have a personal reflection on
themselves and what they are experiencing. Giving students a chance for project
based learning can only enhance what the student experiences, but it is also about
allowing the student to have personal choice and make decisions that are
meaningful to them.
scaffolded towards learning how to paint that includes various techniques, building
the students to a bigger understanding of what art can be and how they can make
art that is abstract yet informational about themselves. The final assignment is for
the students to think about an idea or theme that represents them. Then, from there
the students will explore emotions and ideas of self-representation.
By using self-representation, allows the students to create something not
based on the judgements of others but rather at their own perspectives. At this age,
it is important for students to look inside and determine what is important for them.
The social context allows for this unit to be open and not restricting, but the
unit does provide structure. By understanding that my students are from a rural
community they offer a unique perspective that is different from my own, allowing
my students to share their experiences with me will help me grow as a teacher.
Each student is an individual and that is the key to my unit. Learning about them
and what makes them unique. This unit also can create a conversation amongst
students in the critique and possibly learn something new about each other.
Livingstone District
Livingstone School, is located within Livingstone School District No. 68 (in
which 16 school operate). This district serves the surrounding community which is
rural. This district operates two outreach programs and two colony programs.
Interesting Features
Ski Academy
Livingstone School offers interesting features that appear to benefit the school
community. One of these is the Ski Academy. Which allows for athletes to get the
training that they need, while getting an education in a flexible program. This
program is available to students in grade 5 grade 12.
Planning for Ski Academy
- The days that the athletes leave school will have to be planned for

Planning for District and School Initiatives
- Using the technology and services that is offered to their full potential when it
is appropriate for students to do research on an idea or topic
- Allowing the students to work in ways that are beneficial to them
School Policies
All students have a right to education. But, it is the students responsibilities
to attend class and be prepared to learn. Students also have a right to be treated
with dignity and respect, to be heard, to feel safe and secure, the right to free

Gender
In the Grade 10, 11 and 12 Art Class it is predominantly female. In the entire
Grade 12 class there 16 students enrolled. Only two of them are female and those
are the only ones enrolled in Art 30
LGBTQ+ Students & GSAs
Within Livingstone School there is not GSA currently formed. But, students do
have the right to create one. There are LGBTQ+ students at the school, they get
support from their peers and the staff within the welcoming school.

this freedom within their
- Using non-gendered terms when talking to the class
Cultural Diversity
In the classes that I have been assigned to, there are no aboriginal students.
There are also no ESL students. But there are students with low cognitive abilities,
with those students particular instructions might need to be repeated and
explained in different ways. The community is predominantly Catholic/Christian.
Planning for Cultural Diversity
- The lessons/units should be welcoming to all
- Students will have the option to look into their own heritage if that is
something that intrigues them or inspires them
Socio-Economic Status
The school serves the rural communities that surround it. Mining and farming
are the large industries that are in the area.
Planning for Socio-Economic Status
- Being aware that not everyone will have the same access technology and
resources and need to be mindful of this when assigning outside work
- Stressors in their lives can very much differ from how I grew up and this needs
to be considered

Summary:
Students will create a painting with multiple layers, that represents them
as a person.
This unit is a disciplinary painting unit. But, as art does, it crosses boundaries into
other art medias and practices.
Sequence:
Colour theory: Colour theory is vital when working with paint. This will be a quick
refresher about how the colour wheel works and how students make colour
decisions every day.
Techniques: The students will make quick small still life paintings that show a
variety of new techniques that painters can use. From dry brush to palette knife.
Combining techniques: The students for their final project will come up with a
personal theme, something that is meaningful them (ex. Hockey), and all the feeling

they connect with that one idea, and for each of these ideas (minimum of 4) they
will add a layer. This is an introduction into abstraction and into raw emotion

Lesson Summaries:
colour wash, pallet knife, mark making, drybrush, monochrome with colours,
blocking in, unconventional tool, etching, scumbling, masking tape edges,
realism(ish). The students will learn some layering techniques that they will use on
their final piece that they can apply to the dry images already
Lesson 5: Critique
The students will come into class, there will be a general discussion about
the process and how they felt about all the new techniques and unique ways to
apply art. The students will do a gallery walk around the classroom, looking at what
others have created. General questions will be asked, such as, similarities,
differences etc. The students at this point are able to point out areas of the pieces
that are successful, they can discuss what they would like to try another time
around.
