Illuminated Letter Lesson Plan

Purchase and download my version of illuminated letters inspired by medieval art and The Book of Kells. I ran this lesson with fourth grade and I don't suggest going any lower since you are working with sheets of metal which can be sharp.

The 8 page booklet includes three handouts created by me: a design inspiration handout, the frame template required, and an extension activity as well as instructions and a list of materials.

4th Grade Artist Statements

Here is another post on teacher evaluation for you!

As my previous post mentioned, a standardized/concrete measure is required of all teachers. This falls under Indicator of Academic Growth and Development (IAGD) #1.

Now I will touch upon what is required of IAGD #2, the non-standardized assessment. The success of this goal is measured based upon a rubric. In the past, my focus area has ranged from critical analysis of an artwork to self portraiture. This year I am focusing on artist statements with my fourth graders!

The slightly confusing part of it all is that these two IAGDs should work together to support one larger, broader Student Learning Objecting (SLO) that works to support our school wide goals. Our school wide goals happen to be the 4C's:
Creativity
Collaboration
Critical Thinking
Communication
(oh and a new one this year) Character

Pretty easy to connect anything I do in my art room to AT LEAST one of those!

My SLO this year: ​Students in 4th grade will develop excellence in communication by conveying meaning through the presentation of artistic work. (VA:Pr6)

In order to further support our content area I threw in which specific National Standard I am using. (Presenting, Anchor Standard 6)


On to the freebies!

I have been working on some documents to guide my 4th graders along through the process of writing an artist statement. Included in the PDF is also the rubric I created to grade them.

Hope this was at least a bit helpful to you as we all try to figure out and manage data collection in the art room!

Color Theory Pre and Post Test

As part of teacher evaluation I am expected to collect data within my art classroom. My standardized (concrete, measurable) goal has dealt with color theory over the past three years. Here are some of the tests I have created for my students in grades 2-4. I hope this helps you on your journey through data collection in the art room!

Word Wall Words

At the beginning of the school year I started designing my own word wall. I had been searching for one that was already made, but did not like the small print and lengthy definitions. For my K-3 classroom, pictures are better than words. These cards are not only for the elementary level, though, they can be used in any PreK-12 art room.


Head on over to my TpT store to snag them for yourself.
