ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS (FROM ODE STANDARDS)


Personal Choice and Vision: Students construct and solve problems of personal relevance
and interest when expressing themselves through visual art.
Critical and Creative Thinking: Students combine and apply artistic and reasoning skills to
imagine, create, realize and refine artworks in conventional and innovative ways. Authentic

PROGRESS POINTS (FROM ODE STANDARDS)


The student will at the appropriate developmental level:
C. Connect making art with individual choice and understanding personal cultural identity.

D. Produce artworks that express and represent their experiences, imagination and ideas
using a range of media including new technologies.

CRITICAL ISSUE / BIG IDEA


A).Anticipatory Set (what do the students already know)
B). Rationale (why is this lesson relevant?)
A).These students are already very familiar with the notion of a superhero. Superheros have
been beloved by our culture for generation, and are the forerunners in television, movies, and
comics. More children are superheros for halloween every year than any other character. They
understand that superheroes have super powers (unless you are batman), and that
superheroes use those powers for good rather than evil. They already understand that having a
superpower comes with the responsibility to use it to help people, otherwise you turn into a
super villian. A common misconception that the students may have about superheroes is that a
person must have a super power that no other people have like being able to fly or read minds.
During the lesson the goal will be show the students that any strength of theirs can be a
superpower that they can use to fight injustice.

B). This lesson is relevant because there is a power to beginning to reveal to children the
special ways in which they have been uniquely gifted to make a difference in the lives of other
people. In our world there is so much suffering and injustice. The weak need people to stand up
for them, the hungry need feed, and the sick need help. These students can play a role in
making the world a more kind and brave place through beginning to see themselves as
responsible for doing good with the gifts they have. This lesson is a fun way to bring this idea up
to them, and to let that take root. Since most of my students live in affluent families and an

Page| 1
affluent community with lots of resources, they have a lot of means to help other people. It is
important that from this young age they can see themselves as allies to the oppressed. They
need to see their strengths so that when they are faced with the reality of the suffering they feel
a responsibility to step in and help.

Central Focus (creating, presenting, interpreting, responding, and/or relating art to context)
Each Students is a superhero in plain clothing.

This unit is all about students viewing themselves as a superhero and creating logos, figurines,
and comic strips that focus on this.

Essential Questions (provocative, engaging, critical)

1. What makes a superhero?


2. How do people discover their strengths?
3. What impact can one individual make on a community? A country? A world?
4. What is worth standing up for?

Possible Integration
Reading/English: English teachers could teach lessons on narrative, characterization, or
dialogue. These will be helpful in crafting the comic strips in the third lesson.

History: History classes could be integrated in this lesson by highlighting figures in history that
have made a significant impact for good. Especially describing how those people found
themselves in positions where they could use their strengths to help other people.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ESSENTIAL EDUCATIONAL CONTENT OF THIS UNIT


Lesson One
Title Interview and Personal Logo Design
Lesson Description To introduce this lesson, and this unit. I will tell the students what our goal
for this unit is (view themselves as a superhero) and what they are going
to make along the way (Logo, figurine, and comic strip) We will talk about
superheros and how every person has strengths that they can use to help
other people. Two of the students in my class have parents who are first
responders(Emergency Room Doctor, and Firefighter). They will come in
to talk to the class about why they decided to be a first responder and
what strengths they have that help them in their jobs.

For homework the students will take home a guided interview for them to
complete with an adult that they trust, where they will discuss together the
students strengths and an individual.

Next class students will decide what they want their superpower to be for
themselves as a superhero, based on their interview. We will discuss Line,
Shape, color, contrast, and balance as elements and principles of design.
On their ipads students will digitally create a logo for their superhero

Page| 2
selves that incorporates these elements and principles.
Lesson Two
Title Action Figure
Lesson Description At the beginning of this lesson we will look at the human form as it
appears throughout art history. Students will do a short research project
and share their findings with their tables.
We will introduce clay as a medium and have a demo of different tools that
can be used to create different effects in the clay. They will learn about
Needle tools, loop tools, and wooden tools. Students will then create a
clay figurine of themselves as a superhero. when they have been built and
become bone dry, we will fire them. The students will then paint the
bisqueware with acrylic paint. They will paint their logo that they designed
onto their figurine, and we will tie cloth on them if they want capes.
Through the lesson they will have a checklist that they will work from and
turn in at the end.
Lesson Three
Title POP! WHAM! POW! Comic Strip
Lesson Description As a class we will be looking at various panels of old comic books and
talking about the emotion and action that is portrayed through each panel.
We will talk about what drawing techniques could be used to achieve
those results.
Basing their characterization of their superhero selves on their figurine and
logo, students will draw an 8 panel comic strip. The students will show
through action and dialogue how their superpower could play out in real
life.

Explain how technology has been used in this unit


The students used graphic design apps on their Ipads to construct their superhero logos. We
then printed them off to be viewed with the rest of the artwork.

CONTENT STATEMENT – RESPONDING/REFLECTING (FROM ODE STANDARDS)
1 RE - Identify qualities that contribute to the design and meaning of their artworks and the
works of others

Performance-based Assessment Objectives

Students will be able to point out and recognize where the ideas for the design of their logo
came from (e.g. themselves, the media, their culture, art class, etc.)

Students will utilize line, shape, color, contrast and balance to compose a logo for their
superhero on Procreate on their Ipads.

Students will locate the elements and principles of design that help them to interpret their own
logo design and also the designs of their classmates.

Performance-based Assessment Strategies


(attach assessment documents if applicable)

Students will fill out and turn in an accompanying artist’s statement with their logo. In this
statement will cite 3 aspects of their logo with a description of where their idea came from.

The Superhero Logo will feature the use of Line, shape, Color, Contrast, and and Balance along
with an accompanying artists statement describing their decision making process.

A halfway peer check worksheet will show evidence of correctly pinpointing Line, shape, Color,
balance, and contrast in the work of their peers.

Academic Language
Vocabulary (define each)

Line - An element of art defined by a point moving in space. Line may be two-or three-
dimensional, descriptive, implied, or abstract.
Shape - An element of art that is two-dimensional, flat, or limited to height and width.
Color - An element of art made up of three properties: hue, value, and intensity. Focusing on

Additional Language Demands (specific communication task)


Students will verbally participate in a discussion about superheros. Allowing them to talk about
what kinds of things need stood up against, and how people can know their strengths.

Students will complete a short worksheet during a halfway peer check day where they will write
about the elements that their partner decided to use to compose their logos. This will require the

Page| 4
ability to use class vocabulary in complete sentences.

At the end of the lesson students will write an artist statement about the sources for their ideas
and their decision making process for designing their logo.

Accommodations for Special Populations


Accommodation for a student with Behavioral and Language Disabilities
I will have a list of simple directions taped to every table for any student to refer to as needed. I
will mention to this student that i will be walking around to check on him and make sure he is on
