The lesson plan I chose consists on the students creating
a monochromatic portrait painting based on a printed digital photograph that is
altered with Photoshop. (Other software should be available)
Once the students have their own personal portrait altered
and printed they are ready to copy the image, (projector to trace should be
optional!) and start painting with light values or tints by adding white to the
color they choose and shades or dark values by adding black.
I chose this lesson plan because
technology and traditional art merge in order to understand principles of art.
It is practical and also beneficial to teenagers because to create
self-portraits and choosing a color helps construct the sense of self.
The gaps that I found were
essentially the lack of some technologies (software and projectors) the
technology used is practical but since technology is ever changing some
modifications could be suitable.
I believe that the technologies used
to achieve the goal of painting a monochromatic portrait are practical, not
necessarily essential although they are indeed very useful when we consider that we
have time frames and when we have a clear objective of what the goal for the
lesson plan is.
An additional technology that could
be useful is a projector or a smart board to show a slide show of monochromatic
works of art to inspire the students, but it is not necessary if the teacher
provides hard copies.
In my opinion to integrate technology in this lesson plan
not only facilitates the understanding that the students attain about color
composition and depth but it ensures that all the students in a classroom
artistically skilled or not accomplish a successful art piece.
