Describe procedures for how you will teach 3D using cheap or found materials to young adults following through with how you would have them complete a successful piece of art using these skills. Lesson ideas from today can be used or you may find something totally different. Use as many images as you need, it can address any level of student or course in this age group. Feel free to gather resources from the Internet.

There was a small exercise my 760 course where a student can roll newspaper sheets to make tubes for a 3-D design. I could use this same exercise for the first week and then continue by having students design on a found material that they can at least assemble 50 of the pieces.
Found material could be dumpster diving probably something the teacher will have to do.
Find things like:
Cardboard
paper clips
notebook paper
buttons
old markers that are dried out
outdoor items
rocks/pebels
tree leaves
sticks
legos

Any time that is attainable appropriate and comes with many.






Tape and plastic wrap for 3-D design 2 to make ghostly body parts and figures.


For a young age group possibly a lesson on 3-D design with Jelly Beans. For the youth they can engineer cubes and stack them by conjoining tooth pics and the beans end on end.

class room examples of the Newspaper Idea, copper and Twist-ez for a 3-D design exercise.

In these design we were told to experiment and understand to workings of the material. Perhaps for a high school class the students will be given one class period to work with multiple material. On day 2 they are to have come back and decide on a famous building structure and assemble the structure with the material they have gotten use to. They could assemble a small 10 inch scale model of the famous architecture of their choice.

Think about the aspects of film-making (history, making, critiquing, reading/literacy) and talk about how you could incorporate it into your art courses. You might not teach a ‘film’ course like I do but what types of things would your students be interested in? What might be important for them to know or understand about film as a media?



I would tell several film 101 slide shows for starters. I could then ask what they are interested as far as movie genres. I would have them list out a few movies they like and then show a study on Anatomy of a Scene. Plot Device and other film studies.

The students should learn movie reviews and study if a film is a genuine master piece or just popular because of being a hot item. The student should be the ones to learn and judge.

Key things for them to know in a film 101 class.
History from the beginning
Pioneering actors and ways to film a movie
Plot Device
Anatomy of a Scene

Blog #13 lesson special needs and the gifted

After discussing both special needs and gifted students. What are your plans to include both sets of needs as well as engage the average student in your class. Give an example of a specific lesson that you can modify to address all levels of learning.

For a student for the gifted he or she can turn can make a self portrait of their minds. They will carefully plan out a machine in their portrait.

Double drawing could be fun for a student with special needs. I think for them to engage in motor skills and using both arms and hands do create an abstract drawing assignment. If a student bless them happens to not handle decent motor skill but have exemplary skills in another way I still think an double sketch whether its one at time could still be a lot of fun for a special needs student. I have a following example below.

I Perhaps for a classroom project the image above for the students with special needs create a brain.The students with gifted abilities creates the mechanized operating system to make the brain go. The collaborative project can grow into machines that churn the eyes, mouth, AND nose and the ears.

these are some items I could have for students with special needs if I take this group project to a smaller scale.





A device that could have graphite stick composit

This lesson can be called "The Mind" or "Oh what we can create" title will need work.

The elements: are Line, Shape/Form, Space, Texture
The Principle: Proportion, Unity, Balance, Emphasis

This lesson on building the human mind as a collaborative project will also build team work if implemented correctly

Blog prompt #12 media arts

Media is such a broad term. For this blog’s purpose let’s limit it to using technology (computers, phones, apps, software) in the classroom.  Discuss how you might incorporate Media Arts into your curriculum. Would you want Photoshop or other Adobe software? If so, for what purpose. If not, then what other software, programs, etc. would you
want to use? Would you create a specialized
class for media or would it be included in
your regular curriculum. What are some lesson
ideas that you’ve come across or been
exposed to that you think would be ideal?


One of my lessons from college when I was in graphic design studios we had to learn how to draw font styles to somehow hon in on the skills and precision that fonts impact has on a product.
Another lesson had us combining one type font to make an animal. My animal was a turtle that I really enjoyed making.

I would do adobe illustrator over adobe photoshop first just because of my courses I've taken in graphic design. More specifically illustrator and logo design. I would have the students design a logo of their own and then as a class we study why logos are effective.
Why is your logo your style? why is your logo made that way?
I would make a specialized class if it can consist of Illustrator, stationary designs, business cards. How you could sell your product, imaging, and so on. I would like a media class that can brand oneself. If the course isn't about selling your design then to have lesson designs to help with Film, software design, gaming, animation and so on.

I would ask them to write down all subjects, themes, place, things, activities or issues that are personally relevant and that matter to you, Purpose will then to communicate a message.
Include topics that are unusual, challenging, controversial, gritty or inspiring.

Other ideas: Architecture and man made structures

Most students have the latest and greatest phones so I could ask them to download any "free" app that android and apple have to offer.

Blog 10 prompt welcome statement

Mr. Wynn

Welcome Statement


It takes a special set of skills to be an art teacher. One has to serve as a mentor and as a coach. My philosophy of education vary in instructional strategies, actively engage students, and consider learning styles and aptitudes. It's important for an art teacher to be aware of his/her students' emotional, social, and psychological development. It goes without saying that the child needs a lending hand from the parent as well.

Art is important for high school students because it builds confidence. The greatest gift that a teacher or anyone for that matter is to give a student confidence. This is why I host art shows with my students' work proudly displayed. It all has to do with confidence and if they can believe in themselves a little more each day then it will show in their career choices. I know not not everyone will pursue art as a life career and when life is tough at times your child will hopefully remember the skill sets that I've implanted in their minds to express themselves in an alternate way. Art is therapeutic and art is a confidence booster.


The exhibitions also have a further purpose. I want my students to earn a scholarship and know that their are opportunities with all these companies out there willing to pay for your child to get through their 4-5 years. No matter the size of the scholarship, it all helps in the end. I am here to guide them through high school the best I can so where ever they land, they'll land on their feet. Poised and ready.

I would like to wrap things up with a brief story. My parents saved a drawing I made when I was a child. This drawing had planes bombing buildings. It was a reaction of something that grasped my attention. My parents were alarmed by how I took in this tragedy and then to make sense of it all illustrate my experience. But there were no planes bombing buildings in rather it was a car bomb. The vehicle that was detonated outside a building in Oklahoma.

Art provides that outlet to understand the surroundings without words. At the time I didn't know someone could blow a building up with a vehicle and only thought bombs came from planes from old WWII documentaries my father would watch.

Why I would tell you this is because some might think art is secondary and art is primary to make sense of this world. Art is our alternate tool with dealing with our stresses and misunderstandings in life. My students for sure are using what I teach to them in their unique way to understanding their world through art.

Blog 9 color theory

The teacher will go over a brief power point on color theory. Then students will use pan watercolors or fine tip markers to paint or color examples from each color family. Example: Primary colors, red, blue and yellow, are the pure colors and are used to mix all other colors.

Art lesson design can be a mono chromatic image of an item brought to class after the concept of color theory is taught on day 1. 

There was this exercise I saw dealing with a color wheel. Then tell each student to describe each color that reminds them of something. So this comes back to the the Identity think I did in one of my blogs. this is her link below.
