Activity/Time

What are the teacher/students doing?

Review
5 minutes

We will do a recap of what we were working on last week. We will go

over who their pictures are inspired by.

Instruction
10 minutes

I will hand out their good copies that they were working on. Then I
will go onto a painting lesson on tinting and shading, edging and
outlining. I will demonstrate each of these for the students. As well, I
have a diagram that shows tinting and shading and it will be
displayed on the Smartboard.

Painting their
pictures

Students will paint their pictures while using the painting techniques I
taught. Hopefully students will finish painting today.

45 minutes
Assessment: I will assess students on whether or not they did an addition of perception
to their pictures. I will also assess whether or not they understood creating different
shades by adding black and white to the paint to create different shades by how they
paint their pictures. I will also assess how carefully they are using their paint brushes
and doing their paint strokes.
Modification: I may try to keep my lesson short to give them a lot of time to paint.
Extra Activity: They will read a book if they get done early.
