Title
Expressing Emotions Using Colors
Central Focus (Enduring Understandings)
A description of the important understandings(s) and concept(s)

This unit is designed for sixth grade students in the state of Hawaii as a lesson to educate
students on the fine arts using the topic: How the Arts Are Organized. This topic is part of the
Hawaii Content and Performance Standards for Fine Arts under Standard 1: Visual Arts:
'Understand and apply art materials, techniques, and processes in the creation of works of art
and understand how the visual arts communicate a variety of ideas, feelings, and experiences'.
Benchmark FA.6-8.1.2: Requires students to apply selected elements and principles of art and
design to communicate a particular message or opinion in an original work of art. In a Sample
Performance Assessment (SPA): The student: Selects and uses specific elements or principles
of art and design to communicate a particular idea, message, or opinion (e.g., Picasso, uses
blue to express feeling). I this particular benchmark, students will be able to use different forms
of art (coloring, painting) in order to express emotion.

Content Standard(s)
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) or Hawaii Content & Performance Standards III (HCPS III) that align
with the central focus and address essential understandings, concepts, and skills

The Hawaii Content and Performance Standard I and Sixth Grade Benchmark in the Fine
Arts, Visual Arts that students will demonstrate meeting follows:
Standard 1: VISUAL ARTS: 'Understand and apply art materials, techniques, and processes in
the creation of works of art and understand how the visual arts communicate a variety of ideas,
feelings, and experiences
Topic: How Can We Use Color to Express Emotion
Benchmark: FA.6-8.1.2: "Apply selected elements and principles of art and design to
communicate a particular message or opinion in an original work of art".

Performance Assessment: In this lesson the students will use colors to express and convey
emotion in their artwork.

This FaceBook Exit Pass will also be a way for students to relate to better because it is
something that most of the students use every day. This exit pass will asses students on how
well they were able to grasp this lesson through their response.

Students Prior Academic Knowledge and Assets


The students content knowledge, skills, prior academic experiences, and personal/cultural/community assets to
draw upon to support learning

The students already had past experiences with using water colors and how to clean paint
brushes. Students are also familiar with art projects that have to deal with scenery and
artwork of people.
Academic Language and Language Supports
Oral and written language that the students need to learn and use to participate and engage in the content. The
planned instructional supports to help students understand, develop, and use academic language.

This unit introduces students to the academic language of the visual arts that includes the
elements of art and design: Color, shapes, etc. in order to have all students participate and be
able to convey what emotions and colors mean to them.
Instructional Strategies and Learning Tasks
A description of what the teacher will do and say and what the students will do during the lesson that 1) uses clear
steps that convey the use of multiple strategies, supports, and resources and 2) list opportunities offered for
multiple modes of participation

Lesson One Picasso


Teacher will show students a presentation about Picasso (when he was born, what he did, who
was he) and will show the students that Picasso used colors to show emotion in his artwork.
Learning LessonPicasso
The students will

Learn about Picasso and who he was

Students will observe paintings that Picasso painted


The teacher will

Present the presentation of Picasso


Lesson Two
We will look at a power point presentation of the standard color wheel of emotions. Students will
get familiar with these emotions before looking at artwork to identify colors that make up the
paintings by watching a short clip of Disney's animated film, Inside Out, to see if they can find
the emotion from the painting using the colors that they found.
Community Building ActivityWarm-UpWhat Each Color Means

The students will

Students will look at the color wheel of emotions and get familiar with them

Students will watch a clip from Disney's animated film, Inside Out

Differentiation
Adaptations to instructional strategies, the learning environment, content, and/or assessments to meet the needs
of students who require further support (e.g., ELL/MLL, struggling, accelerated, 50/IE, etc.)
Video of Disney's Inside Out will provide as a visual form of communication where students who require further
support will be able to have an easier time understanding the vocabulary and the meaning behind them. I will also
be working one-on-one with these students more frequently with the rest of the other students to make sure that
these students understand what they are doing, that they are on track, and as well as how well they understand
the lesson.

Lesson Plan Reflection (if lesson is carried out)


An analysis of what worked, what could be changed, and the next steps for teaching
What changes would you make to your instructionfor the whole class and/or for students who needed
greater support or challengeto better support student learning?
Why do you think these changes would improve student learning? Support your explanation
with evidence of student learning AND principles from theory, recommended practices, and/or
research.
Based on your reflection and your analysis of student learning, describe the next steps for instruction to
support students learning.

Above is a teacher created example for the artwork that I will be making the students do
for my art lesson.

_x__Objectives of the Unit Plan: Clearly state the objectives of your unit, making sure
you include verbs that demonstrate some high level critical thinking skills. These should
be stated as follows: The students will be able to and then start each phrase with an
active verb. This is often used because the students will be doing more than just
meeting the HCPS III in the visual arts. See the instructor example in the unit plan
provided.
_x__Enduring Understanding: Describe the enduring understanding in a very clear
and concise manner that starts with the following phrase: Through the experiences in

this unit, I hope that our students will develop the enduring understanding that
Remember to keep it short and meaningful.

different answers. Construct one good open-ended question that is also used as the
title of your unit that can have many different answers and is related to the enduring
understanding.
__x_Prior Academic Knowledge and Student Assets: Describe what you think your
students will need to know to engage in this unit or what you can safely assume they
already know. Notice that in my example, I am not assuming that my students are
already familiar with information they may need so I am introducting them to a lot of the
information as part of the unit. This is why a series of lessons is needed to create a
meaningful visual arts experience. This part is a little different for writing this in the
summer when you have not met your new students for next year.
__x_Hawaii Teacher Performance Standards: Select one HTPS that you
think you are meeting through your work with students as part of this unit plan that
includes the short definition of the HTPS selected & how you are meeting this standard
through your work with students in this unit specifically. These are standards for
teachers, not students. See http://www.htsb.org/standards/teacher/
__x_General Learner Outcomes: Select one general learner outcome that is evident
in student performance as part of this unit plan that includes the definition of the GLO
and how students will demonstrate they are meeting this GLO through their work in this
unit. To review the DOE General Learning Outcomes see

standard in the Visual Arts identified by the Hawaii DOE. Find that standard and write it
out in this section.
_x__Benchmarks: Select one benchmark in the visuals arts that students will meet
through the experiences provided in this unit plan that is appropriate for your field
placement grade level. Write out the description of the benchmark. See
http://standardstoolkit.k12.hi.us/
_x__Performance Assessment Indicators: Create your own performance
assessment indicators that the student work will demonstrate that are directly related to
the benchmarks you have selected and to the experiences in your unit. This is part of
what you will use to assess student learninig using the assessment tools you create.
Please do not use use the Sample Performance Assessment indicator that the DOE
provides as a sample. The objective is to create your own indicators that are directly
related to the benchmarks, the enduring understanding, and the objectives below.
_x__National Core Art Standards: The example unit plan includes two National
Art Core Standards in Creating and Presenting to model as an example. Select one
National Core Art Standard that your studnets will meet through their work on this unit.

will engage in a series of assessment tasks throughout this unit that are identified below
and the summative assessment tools follow.

_x___Assessment Tasks: List what students will do throughout the unit to show
evidence of their learning. Remember that these are related to the benchmarks,
performance assessment indicator and objectives that you have already
identified above.
__x__Assessment Tools: This is where you create a rubric to help students
create a quality product by identifying specific criteria you are looking for. This
may also be in the form of a checklist. Remember that these are related to the
benchmarks and performance assessment indicators that you have already
identified in the assessment tasks. You do not have to have an assessment tool
for each task. Notice the examples the instructor created and provided.
_x__Instructional Strategies: These section will include the Individual Lessons that
include active student learning and include enough details that others could implement
your plan. Begin by writing an short overview of each lesson. Divide up the sections of
the lesson into the Warm-up or Focusing Event, Content, and Closure. Note the
example the instructor provided and use the format indicated in the example. A
