Enduring Idea(s) or Question(s )

The enduring idea for this lesson is that walking and exploring spaces can be instrumental in creating powerful, relevant,
and meaningful artwork. Delacruz says that Artmaking, inquiry, and interactive digital multimedia are naturally inclined
toward eclectic, creative, collaborative, and adaptive practices. (2009, p.16) which supports walking as an adaptive
practice. Through exploration of a space students might overcome certain elevations, obstacles, or encounter certain
words. By incorporating these things into an artwork they investigate the ideologies found within the spaces in which they
are found and how the student might interpret certain visual imagery in the environment.

Lesson Objectives (15 points):

-Students will work independently to create an artwork utilizing the ideas of walking and text as inspired by Hamish
Fulton.

-Students will use a digital camera to take pictures of a walk, bike ride, climb, boating, or any kind of exploration of space.

-Students will utilize Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator to manipulate the image and super impose text over the image
with regard to elements of design.

-Students will upload their image to social media with the hashtag #walkingart.

Rationale (6 points):
Why is this content, idea, skill, or approach to teaching important for learners or significant to students success?

-It is important for students to not only be aware of happenings in their sphere of reality, but to know how to respond to
problems through critical examination of their own views. Students are familiar with technology, and learning how to use
it creatively gives them a platform to speak on issues in a way can affect change in the community and anywhere someone
can get on to a computer or use their smartphone.

-Students will learn to use a variety of art media with digital applications, and will create an original artwork to
communicate thoughts, feelings or ideas. (117.303.)
