Art for Children

Assignment Four example

Jackson State University

Name: Teacher Date: February 4, 2018

Methods Class/Grade/Subject: Art 301

School Site: Jackson State University

Topic or Your Arts-Infused Lesson (s) Theme: Buildings Study

Art or arts you plan to use: Visual art, Dance

I. Considerations: Background

Which arts are within your personal comfort zone? Why? I am most comfortable with the visual art. When working with young students, it helps give them an idea on how to create an image and gives them ideas on how to express their selves within the image.

What kind of art activities do you like to lead in your classroom? Why? The activity that I like to lead would be story. I like story time because I include the visual aid. It helps them to remember the story by using props and the students can interact as well.

II. Your Art-Infused Lesson Materials Planning Consideration:

Background of Student’s Instructional Needs

Grade Level/Subject Area: Pre-K/ Building Study

Grade level content area standards to be involved:

AL 3: Recognize, understand, and analyze a problem and draw on knowledge or

experience to seek solution.

4.2: Apply prior knowledge and experiences to learn new skills during play.

Student’s achievement level in this content: I want my student to know how buildings are constructed and what people do inside of them.

Students’ overall literacy skill levels (reading, writing, speaking): I want the student to demonstrate and communicate a basic understanding of buildings, answer and ask simple “how” “why” questions.

Grade Level Art Standard I could possible link to and use within my arts- infuse lesson:

Music:

Children can use music to help remember different places.

Dance

Children moving around can help them remember thing better by recalling a dance move associated.

Theatre:

Visual arts

Children can see what is shown and recall the image.

The student’s background and previous experience in art activities (music, dance, theatre, visual art):

Music:
