Big Ideas/Unit Goals:

•This assignment will allow students to expand upon their experiences with symbolism and expressive color in their artwork.
•By seeing various works from each of these movements, students will be encouraged to play with the infinite possibilities for telling a story through
artwork, that go beyond life-like images.
•The use of symbolic imagery and varied line work evoke a response that I want students to attempt to evoke in their assignment.
•This connection will prompt students to expand their instinct to paint the first thing that comes to mind.
•By enabling planning pages and the connection to something in the students’ life that will reveal something about them (that may be personal,)
students will have a deeper meaning behind their painting.

Unit Summary:

•Students will describe the use of the elements of art to express mood in the painting they create. They will plan and create a work that reflects
complex ideas while solving visual art problems that involve the effective use of the principles of design.
•Students will be able to apply their knowledge of word origins to determine the meaning of the new words encountered in reading materials and use
those words accurately.
