Use
a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of
numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that
the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).

Enduring
Understandings:
From
Wiggins
&
McTighe:
An
understanding
refers
to
transferable,
big
ideas
having
enduring
value
beyond
a
specific
topic;
it
is
universal
generalization.
What
we
want
students
to
understand
and
be
able
to
use
several
year
from
now,
after
they
have
forgotten
the
details.
Is
it
transferable?
Can
you
teach
it
over
and
over
again?
Does
it
connect
to
other
things?
The
subject matter of this lesson connects to the students' everyday lives and the content relates to
Mathematics
and Social Studies. Students will research a famous African American to draw. Students will
practice
drawing and utilize a grid in order to draw their portrait. Students are required to use hand-eye
coordination
to draw and/or create their grid portrait drawing. Students may practice the elements of art:
space,
balance, shape, rhythm/movement and color on the computer using "The Artists Toolkit."
Essential
Questions:
Wiggins
&
McTighe:
Essential
questions
are
not
answerable
with
finality
in
a
brief
sentence;
their
aim
is
to
stimulate
thought,
to
provoke
inquiry,
and
to
spark
more
questions.
Essential
questions
do
not
yield
a
single
straightforward
answer.
Essential
questions
come
from
the
Enduring
Understanding
that
has
been
turned
into
a
question.
Usually
begins
with:
how,
what,
or
why.
I
will show the students samples of famous African-American grid portraits. I will list the expectations for their work. The
students
will research a famous African-American and copy and paste their photo on the computer paint program. Their grid
portrait
drawing must include a 1 inch by 1 inch grid. Students will include the following while saving their grid portrait on their
computer;
their name, room number, and title "grid portrait." Then students may begin drawing and shading their portrait one
square at a time. Students may add patterns or a border for their background. Students may explore computer paint program
or materials such as color pastels or colored pencils to create and color their artwork. Students will be able to create a famous
African-American grid portrait, applying their knowledge of the properties of line, space, shape and color.

Cognitive
Skills:
These
are
some
examples
of
the
skills
student
must
have
in
order
to
meet
the
standards
in
the
visual
and
performing
arts.
Composition
(Consider
including
this
skill
for
visual
art
lessons.)
Beyond
a
keen
eye,
the
study
of
composition
offers
fundamental
skills
for
students
who
want
to
elevate
their
artwork
to
a
higher
level
of
aesthetics.
Students
learn
to
manage
the
methods
and
materials
in
order
to
maximize
their
creations.
Judgment
and
Decision
Making
Students
not
only
develop
a
technical
skill
set,
but
also
the
ability
to
assess
the
objects
in
their
lives
for
its
artistic
potential.
Students
exercise
sound
judgment
in
what
equipment
they
choose,
their
editorial
frame
of
reference,
and
how
they
respond
to
both
technical
and
artistic
constraints.
Creative
Thinking
Through
the
practice
of
artistic
and
technical
discipline,
students
employ
creative
thinking
throughout
their
studies.
Interpersonal
Skills
Artists
often
realize
their
visions
through
collaboration
with
others.
Visual
and
performing
arts
lessons
like
this
teach
students
to
act
with
professionalism,
communicate
clearly,
and
balance
the
needs
of
those
who
commission
their
work
with
artistic
integrity.

I
will go over the requirements for the famous African-American grid portrait drawings.
The famous African-American grid portrait drawing must include a 1 inch by 1 inch grid.
Students
will include the following while saving their grid portrait on their computer; their
name,
room number, and title "grid portrait." Then students will draw and shade their portrait
one

at a time. Students may add patterns or a border for their background. Students
may

paper using a ruler to draw horizontal and vertical lines spaced 1 inch apart and then how to
draw
and shade their portrait one square at a time. Students will be able to create a grid
portrait
of a famous African-American, applying their knowledge of the properties of line,

start with drawing a grid on the paper using a ruler to draw horizontal and vertical lines spaced 1 inch apart and then how to draw and shade their

color
pastels or colored pencils to create and color their artwork. Students will take turns sharing about their artwork with their partner, when finished.
Students will use their talking chips and take turns talking while their partner listens. Students may send their completed artwork to my e-mail or turn
in their artwork to be graded by rubric. Students may practice the elements of art: space, balance, shape, rhythm/ movement and color on the
computer
using "The Artists Toolkit." Student practice/work time will be 50 minutes, leaving 10 minutes for clean-up and closure.
Kagan cooperative learning strategies: Pair Share, Talking Chips
When
students are finished with their artwork, they will pair up with someone in their group and take turns talking about their grid portrait drawing.
Their
partner will then give them positive and helpful feedback about their drawing. Students will use their pencil, paper and/or erasers as talking
chips. When it is their turn to talk, they will place their pencil, paper and/or eraser in the middle of the table. Students will use their talking chips and
turns talking while their partner listens. This will help students take turns listening and sharing about their artwork. Talking Chips help regulate
take
discussion,
ensuring that everyone participates and everyone contributes.
