Period: 2B

Strengths of the Class: Students have great energy and positive attitudes.
Many of the students comprehend classroom instruction well.

Unique Needs of the Class: Knowledge of value may vary from student to
student. For some it may be new information and for others it will be review.

Subject: Value Unit

Curriculum Standards:
Standard 1- Making
Students will assemble and create drawings by manipulating art media and
by organizing images with the elements and principles.

Objective 1

a. Experience and control a variety of media, including current arts-

related technologies.

b. Select and analyze the expressive potential of drawing media,

techniques, and processes.

Lesson Topic: Intro to Value Through Scales

Prerequisite Knowledge: N/A

Content Objectives:
Students will learn what value is, where it comes from and how its
used through a power point presentation. Students will apply
knowledge of value through various exercise.

Learning Objectives:
TLW explore value using graphite.
TLW create value scales through blending, shading and crosshatching.
TLW apply knowledge of value to create sphere.

Language Objectives:
Day 4

Students will take notes in their sketchbook during the introduction to

value presentation.
Materials: Sketchbook, Graphite Pencils, Paper Blender, Erasers

Starter: Pass sketchbooks out, Write name on front in black sharpie maker,
and glue elements/principles handout to the first page of their sketchbook.

Class Procedures: Gathering materials and note taking (I will guide

students through what to write down).

Class Work: Time Allotment

9:01-9:06 (5 min) Welcome, Take Role, Agenda
9:06-9:26 (15-20 min) Introduction to value through PP
9:26-9:36 (10 min) Demo/Work Time: Value Scale-Shading
9:36-9:46 (10 min) Demo/Work Time: Value Scale- Blending
9:46-9:56 (10 min) Demo/Work Time: Value Scale- Cross Hatching
(If they need more time to finish scales then push sphere to next
period)
9:56-10:06 (5-10 min) Break Down values of sphere
10:06-10:28 (20 ish min) Work time to complete scales and sphere
10:28-10:33 (5 min) Clean up

Closure: Clean up and instruct students to store their sketchbook in boxes in

the front of classroom.

Plans for Assessment: I will do a sketchbook check to grade completed

value scales and sphere.

Homework Assigned and Due Date: No homework. Sketchbook check at

the end of class.

Plans for Enrichment: I will challenge students who finish quickly to build
up value using an ink pen.

Plans for Remediation: The example at the top of the worksheet is for
students who need extra support in creating a value scale.

Plans for English Language Learners: Visual demonstration will be given

to provide support. Value scale example is provided at the top of worksheet.

REFLECTION:
Something that went well in the lesson today was the sequencing. I think
breaking down each value scale into separate parts helped the students
understand what to do for each one.
I need to be sure to give my students enough time to write down their notes.
A student had to ask me to go back because I went to fast.
Day 4

I will prepare various actives that students can engage in for students who
finish work fast.
For my next lesson I will guide students in connecting the value scales to the
value of a sphere more explicitly.
