examples

Alaska Content Standard​:

A. Creat​e - A student should be able to imagine and develop artistic ideas and work.
1. generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work
2. organize and develop artistic ideas and work
3. refine and complete artistic work.

Transfer Goal(s)​:
Student will design a picture of the sun and the moon using the contrast of warm and cool colors.

STAGE ONE - Essential Questions and Enduring Understandings (​meaning​)

Enduring Understandings: What Essential Questions will be ​considered?
Students will understand that…

In order to appreciate the sunny times you How does does the contrast of the sun and the

STAGE ONE: Objectives STAGE TWO: Assessments

Evidence of Learning/ACcountability -
Formative/Summative/Performance

Knowledge: ​What Student Should Know… Assessments/Other Evidence:

- Warm colors consist of reds, oranges,

yellows, and yellowish greens
- Cool colors consist of darker greens,
blues, purples, and pinks.
- Design a picture of the sun and the moon
together, using warm colors for the sun, and
cool colors for the moon. The picture will
include a different design for the moon side
and the sunny side.
Skills​: ​What Students should be able to do… Assessments/Other Evidence:

- Design a picture of the sun and moon

together. The line patterns on each
side of the circle should be different.
- Color in the picture using warm colors
for the sun and cool colors for the
moon.

STAGE THREE​: ​Opportunities to Learn ​(​Acquisition)

Introduction/Hook
Show students a short slideshow of pictures. Ask students what they think the artists were trying to
convey here. What words would you use to describe the feeling of the sunny side? Think about the
use of colors and shapes. Except all answers. What words would we use to describe the feeling of
the moon’s side? Except all answers.

summer more after the winter and cold?
- Tell students that today they will design their own picture
with the theme “Warm Sun, Cool Moon”. They will use the
contrast of warm and cool colors to portray this theme.
- We go step by step to get started first. Once their pictures
are designed, they will be free to color them in, using warm
colors for the sunny side, and cool colors for the moon side.
- Pass out the cardstock. Have students get out their
compass. Pass out a paper plate to anyone that does not
have a compass.
- Using a compass (or paper plate), draw a large circle in the
center of the page. Make sure to draw light lines at this time,
not dark lines.
- Draw a curved line in center to divide the circle into sun and
moon. The smaller side will be the moon. Draw a sleepy
 face on moon side and a happy face on sun side. They will
share a mouth. Use a black pen to trace all face, eyes, and
important shapes. This helps to give the definitions and
contrast.
- Pull up the picture of the warm and cool colors on the
smartboard for the students to see and refer to as they color
their pictures.
- Draw line patterns on each side of circle, having the sun &
moon designs being different. Color in the design. Students
may need an extra period to finish coloring the picture. If so,
they can do that during read aloud the next day. Below is a
picture an example for this lesson.

Closure: ​Have students share their design with each other. They should share one thing they liked
about each others pictures.
