Lesson Overview
Students will write a list of things that are important to them and things they dislike. Exploring symbols and simplicity, they will be drawing their hands holding objects to represent these listed symbols. This will be done using overlapping contour lines, similar Reginald Baylor's work. Students will observe his work, focusing on overlap, vibrancy, and boldness. To find inspiration in adding patterns and designs, students will study Romero Britto's work.
Learning Objectives
Responding to Art
Students will analyze the stylistic values of Reginald Baylor and connect to his communication of personal ideas and expressions. Romero Britto's work will be stylistically to inspire creative designs.
Developing Works of Art/Design
Students will demonstrate an understanding of overlapping contour lines, mixing colors, patterns and effectively apply these techniques through drawing and acrylic painting techniques.
Relating Art to Context
Creating a personal color wheel with allow students to exemplify learned techniques of overlapping contour lines, mixing colors, and patterns through symbolic self-expression.

Learning Theories
To best learn, students must feel cared for, engaged, and confident. When planning the “Recreating the Color Wheel” lesson I focused on independence, confidence, and self- expression. The Constructivist Theory states that “an effective curriculum takes into account students’ differing needs and actively involves them in the process of making decisions about their education”. Utilizing these tactics allows students to participate and stay active in their learning. This importance so they can discover independent thinking through decision making and creativity. Students will have the choice on the incorporated object symbols, colors, lines, and patterned designs. This will allow them to take control of their art piece, providing independence within their learning.
Another theory that aligns with the support of care, engagement, and confidence is The Multiple Intelligences Theory. Thinking and understanding of concepts is accomplished by not a singular intelligence, but a collection that can vary between students. When recreating their color wheel, students will be presented with various activities that have a focus on a mixture of these intelligences. Students who are proficient in verbal/linguistics have the opportunity to excel within the writing portion and planning process. Visual/Spatial students may shine during the drawing and painting process. Both interpersonal and intrapersonal personalities will be expressed when finding personal opinions and viewing others works that express feeling and self expression. By incorporating multiple areas for students to exceed in will raise confidence and engagement.
