Elementary Art Lesson Plans
Grades 3-5Crystina CastiglioneARE 4351 – Thomas Brewer
Wayne ThiebaudDrawing
Objectives
Student’s will learn about artist Wayne Thiebaud and will:
-Explore the iconic imagery of mass produced foods that
represent American consumerism
-How these images are symbolic of popular culture
-Understand the elements and principles of light, color,
space, repetition, line, shape and composition to create a
still life- Examine how advertising is used to market mass produced consumer products by turning
their drawing into an advertisement
Statement of Origin
The idea for this lesson plan was inspired by the article “Principles of Possibility: Considerations for a 21st
Century Art Culture and Curriculum,” by Olivia Gude and the chapter 8
article on “Art Production: Ideas and Techniques,” by Linderman. In the
first article Gude stresses the importance of “empowered making” in art education and how “artists and educators who are responsive to the needs of their current students must
consider contemporary as well as traditional artistic and critical
practice and ask what students need to know to successfully make and understand art and culture today,
(Gude, pp. 12, 2007). In the second article, Linderman addresses how to create a still life and the questions
involved that students should address when creating one,
(Linderman, pp. 124-125, 1997). The images chosen were inspired by an exhibition I have seen in the past at
the National Art Gallery.

“Cafe Flowers, Caged Condiments, Cream Pie, Java and Sinkers, and Other Food,” 1995. Drawing, ink on paper.

Lisa KokinSculpture/Mixed MediaObjectives
Students will :- Explore bookmaking as an
artistic way for artists to express ideas, symbols, and
subject matter and to meaningfully incorporate
personal family history and written records or prose in a
work of art- About the work of artist Lisa
Kokin as well as be introduced to “The Sketch Book Project.”
- Examine the question “Who I Am” and use their moleskin
journals from The Sketch Book Project that incorporates the question and answer into a 3
dimensional work of art.
Statement of Origin
This lesson was inspired by the article, “The School Art Style: A Functional Analysis,” by Efland and the NAEA Advisory, “School Art Versus Meaningful Artistically Authentic Art Education,” by Amy Giles. Both articles emphasize the
important of students have an artistically authentic experience by closely following the practices
of authentic artists to make quality products that draw from
life experiences. I was also inspired by The Sketch Book
Project and wanted to incorporate it into the lesson to teach students about the value of visual diaries as
a way to record their artistic process and communicate their “art voice” and their relation to
the artistic process of bookmaking.

Juane “Quick-to-See” SmithMixed Media Collage/Painting
ObjectivesStudents will:
-Examine the work of artist Juane “Quick-to-See” Smith to
understand how artists use their work to represent their cultural
and ethnic background and address stereotypes about them
-Explore the importance of diversity and how art can help us to learn
about cultures other than our own, expand our ideas about the world and develop respect and sensitivity to people that are
different from ourselves. -Understand how to mix paint on a
palette to create new colors and various paintbrush techniques
-Create a painting that portrays their personal cultural
background and the symbolism associated with it
Statement of Origin
This lesson was Inspired by the article, “Principles of
Possibility: Considerations for a 21st Century Art and Culture
Curriculum,” by Olivia Gude in which she emphasizes the
importance of encountering difference in art by saying,
“Good multicultural curriculum introduces us to the generative themes of others – helping us to see the world through the eyes of others-understanding the meaning of artworks in
terms of the complex aesthetic, social, and historical
contexts out of which they emerge, (Gude, p. 9, 2007).

Kiel JohnsonCeramics
Objectives
Student’s will:-Examine Kiel Johnson’s
sculptures in explore how he uses antique machinery and
dying technological machines as his subject
matter to communicate the role of technology in
contemporary society. -Explore the advancing age of
technology, its importance as a tool for communication and the differences between
form of technology throughout history, and those that we have now
-Create a ceramic piece that contrasts with one of Johnson’s sculptures.
Statement of Origin
The idea for this lesson plan came from class discussions
related to the role of the media and technology in art
and in contemporary society. Developing it into a
ceramics lesson was inspired by the article,
“Representational Concepts in Clay: The Development of
Sculpture,” by Claire Golomb. The article
emphasizes the need to focus on evolving student’s
three dimensional representations of objects
accurately using clay.

Przemek MateckiMedia Criticism
ObjectivesStudent’s will
-Examine the role of images in the media and how Przemek Matecki uses
and reassembles magazine imagery to create works of art
-Explore art criticism and answer the question,
“what makes something a work of art”
-Understand the differences between mass produced imagery and authentic
artwork in a media analysis and critique
Statement of OriginThis lesson plan originated by class discussions on the role of
imagery in the media and “Chapter 11: Art Analysis:
Looking at and Responding to Art,” from the book Art in the
Elementary School by Linderman. I wanted to incorporate a media criticism into a lesson by using Linderman’s model of analyzing artworks to teach students how to describe, analyze, interpret
and judge a work of art.Linderman defends the
importance of art analysis by saying, “To have a dialogue with an artwork means to enter into and interact with the work…to experience it by looking at it,
responding to it, and comprehending it…perception of just what is art,” (Linderman, p.
215, 1997).
