Grade Level: Art Class Grade 8

8.10.3
Rationale: Students take pride in seeing their artwork displayed in
the school showcases.
8.10.1
Preparation: Clear counter space on two or three large student tables.
Have ready 30 sheets of 12”x18” black construction paper, one or more paper
cutters, a dozen glue sticks, 30 1”x 2” white blank nametags, a large display
board, several black pens for labeling artwork, and a stapler and/or masking
tape.
8.18.1, 8.10.2, 8.10.3
Objectives: After watching the teacher demonstration on the proper
use of a paper cutter:
- The student will trim artwork so that all four corners
are square (90 degrees).
- The student will mount and label their two-dimensional
artwork on 12”x 18”black construction paper with a glue stick.
- After stapling mounted artwork on a large display board,
the students will critique each other’s work using at least five architectural
terms to describe the work.
- The student will make positive criticism and
constructive comments about another student’s work.
- The student will compare and contrast two works
describing the use of guidelines, vanishing points, architectural adornment
terms, architectural styles, and roof styles.
8.10.1
Introduction:
Today, we will learn the proper use of a paper cutter, and how to measure and
trim square corners. Next, we will learn how to mount and label our drawings
onto black paper. Then, we will staple the works onto the display area and
critique each other’s artwork.
8.9.3, 8.10.1, 8.10.2
Activity:
The teacher will demonstrate the proper use and hazards of using a paper
cutter. He or she will demonstrate how to trim a student drawing by squarely
trimming the top, bottom, and sides of the art, using the grid on the cutter’s
surface as a guide, and being careful not to cut off any of the artwork. The
teacher will show the students how to mount artwork squarely using a glue stick
on the back corners, top, sides, and bottom of the art. The teacher will show
students how to print their first and last name on a 1” x 2” white piece of
paper, and where to attach the nametag at the bottom right side of the mounted
artwork. As students finish mounting and labeling their artwork, they will
staple their work, at the top only, onto the display board. At this time
students are to study each other’s work and begin thinking about their critique.
They must pick at least five architectural terms to describe another student’s
drawing. They must analyze how the other student’s work was executed. Students
are to make constructive comments about each other’s work. After all the
drawings are stapled to the display board, the teacher and students will gather
to begin the critiquing process. Evaluation points are given to students as they
critique each other’s work. A participation point is given each time the student
correctly uses an architectural term to describe a work and each time the
student compares one work’s attributes to another work.
