Artists use symbolism to communicate themes, ideas, or concepts.

Artists use various forms of media through the process of experimentation to create art.

Artist statements communicate how chosen media, processes, and techniques convey meaning.

- Experiment with ideas, forms, and meaning to create art (B.CR.1.1).

- Create an original planned work of art that explores a personally meaningful theme, idea, or concept using symbolism to communicate an idea (B.CR.1.1).

- Create an artist statement that communicates the meaning, purpose, and techniques used in personal art (B.CR.1.2).

- Analyze how visual art and design is used to convey meaning (B.RE.1.2).

• Creativity – as they use symbolism to visually demonstrate meaningful ideas

• Introspection – as they reflect on personally meaningful experiences and ideas in the process of art production

• Confidence – as they learn through experimentation to effectively communicate their ideas visually.

Strategy: See-Think-Wonder

Resources: Examples of work by artists that use symbolism to explore personally meaningful theme idea or concept (Haring, Kusama, Khalo).

Outline of Learning Experience: Students will use the "See, Think, Wonder" Activation Strategy to help them identify how artists use symbolism within art. This will help students understand that symbolism is used in art to create meaning, which is a fundamental understanding before they create their own artwork. Experts model this concept, before they generate their own ideas. "See, think, wonder" is a great tool to help students identify meaning within artwork through inquiry.

Strategy: Mind Mapping

Source: list of various forms of media and vocabulary

Outline of Learning Experience: While mind mapping is commonly used to connect concepts students learned in class, I plan to use it as a tool to help my students plan for their applied art project. In the middle of the concept map, students will identify a theme for their art project. Branching out from the main theme, students will make connections to their theme by adding smaller concepts, brainstorm their form of media, and use art vocabulary to map their project. This will help them brainstorm for their project before completing a more guided planning worksheet.
