Learning Objective:
As active learners
we will explore the
Elements of Art
(and to some
extent, the
Principles of
Design) applying
the concepts in
authentic
independent
practice in order to
achieve a
foundational
understanding of
the creative use of
and relationships
between the
Elements of Art in
personal artwork,
specifically in the
creation of a selfportrait using the
techniques taught
within canon of
proportion. Further,
the students will
turn their portrait
into a repeated
print within a
composition,
through study of
printmaking
techniques. The
process and a brief
Language Objective (Reading/Writing/Speaking/Listening):
Learners will use the Elements of Art and Principles of Design,
painting skills and vocabulary, and painting terms appropriately
when labeling, talking and writing about their compositions.

overview of
printmaking in the
20th century will be
briefly studied and
discussed as well.
Technology Used
(Examples: BYO,
Laptops, SMART
SlateTM, etc.): ppt.
samples and doc

demonstrations.
INSTRUCTIONAL
CYCLE
Engage
Explore
Document camera, digital presentation on terminology, a video
presentation; Enrichment: some students may use their devices to
gather reference images for their portrait composition.
QUALITY INSTRUCTION
CHECK FOR
UNDERSTANDING
(FORMATIVE/SUMMATIVE)
Gallery walk; question and
answer session; peer discussion.
Discuss canon of proportion, and portrait drawing techniques for creating
surface designs utilizing contour line drawing, the Principles of Balance,
Emphasis and Proportion, as well as the Elements of Line, Shape, Space, Form
and Texture within a composition. Students will practice making contour line
self-portraits as a review prior to the discussion of canon of proportion.
We will explore in a series of lessons:
Intro & Guided Practice-Canon of Proportion Notes & Printmaking / Pop Art
Notes: Taking notes and creating sketches self-portraits in graphite, practicing linear
drawing techniques in order to create an accurate portrayal of the human face and the
illusion of form on a flat, 2-D surface. Discussion will take place regarding the history of
printmaking as an American art form and the practitioners of this type of art form.
Independent Practice: The learners will work towards creating an accurate
self-portrait using techniques taught within canon of proportion
independently, as the instructor acts as guide and facilitator. The learner will
discover how to bring forth the illusion of three-dimensionality within twodimensional space while rendering an anatomically accurate portrait.
Printmaking Terminology & Technique: The learner will approach the concepts
tied to creating a printed composition through a teacher-led demonstration of
processes, and a presentation of vocabulary and techniques.

DIFFERENTIATION
ACTIVITIES
As students complete their
initial self-portraits, they will
extend their practice and apply
their newly acquired skills
through the application of
canon
of
proportion
techniques appropriately to
their own skill set through
relative complexity. Students
work on a higher complexity
level
for
enhanced
understanding and practice.
Students have the option
creating a simplistic EZ Kut
block print or a complex design
depending upon their level of
printmaking technique and
concept mastery.
Color schemes for the prints
may be more complex (splitcomplementary or actual
realism) or simple (primaries /
secondaries, cool/warm) in
order to promote the
Principles of Contrast and
Emphasis.
Guided Practice- Print Making Technique
Practice: The learner will grapple with concepts of creating an accurate
portrait on a cut plate with which they will print on paper through a hands-on,
direct teach demonstration technique lab guided by the instructor.
Explain
I will demonstrate by providing a teacher-led exemplar- creating a new
exemplar with each class period while utilizing a document camera or travelling
around the art room.
I will check for understanding by
actively monitoring during
production and assessing the
final product.
See above.
Elaborate
Evaluate (Summative)
Place Elements and Principles in the context of not only prints and future
personal work, but also in how the human anatomy works in proportion (link
to science – anatomy, skeletal structure, etc.).
Bring art history to the forefront by introducing the students to works from
two printmaking masters: Andy Warhol and Shepard Fairey.
Personal / Self critique will provide some authentic assessment of student
work (i.e. ‘Why doesn’t this look right?’). Rubrics are set in place for each stage
of activity: guided practice, independent practice, and assessment / project;
each activity rubric will provide criteria, framework and critical assessment.
Discussion.
Summative:
Assessment via a
rubric and final grade.
Differentiation via IEP and
accommodations.
Block-Printed Pop Art Portraiture

Through Color &
Value
Craftsmanship
Portrait must make use of
highlights, midtones and
shadows in order to provide
accurate anatomical
proportion to the printed
portrait through the Element
of Form.
The rendered prints are
completed at a skill level
appropriate to the abilities of
the student artist, and not
overly simplified in order to
make it “easy.”
All rendered designs include a
range of value promoting
contrast and a recognizable
color scheme that helps to
create the Principles of
Balance and Movement. Value
and color are complete and
applied with recognizable
printing technique through
obvious effort.
The renderings are neat and
complete; it is free from any
mistakes that detract from the
composition. No marks are
present within the bleed,
maintaining a clean,
technically sound look.
