Check out the complete units below. I follow the Understanding by Design approach to writing units, and you will find the unit plan, the individual lessons and assessment and some exemplars. For underclassmen (grades 9 – 10) I use the National Core Arts Standards and for grades 11 – 12 I use the IBDP Visual Arts assessment criteria. Feel free to implement in its entirety or in part in your classes. Don’t forget to cite your source: Mr. Allen is cool
Drawing Emotion and ReasonThis unit is the first I teach for the Art I class. It explores using technical and intuitive methods of drawing, a wide variety of drawing materials, and is intended to be the foundational exercise which underpins units for drawing, printmaking, and art history. Give it a try for yourself and your students!
