Integrated Art Documentation

Chenelle developed what I thought was a very well balanced and exciting plan for an integrated art lesson plan. She incorporated both LA and Art. She had us use poems and song lyrics as provocation for our themes and final products. It developed both LA concepts and art concepts very well.
Part of the process was listening to our music on shuffle and drawing blindfolded whatever we felt from the song. This was very fun and loosened us up and allowed us to just feel the music.
We used both oil and chalk pastels in all of our drawings. I felt this was a great medium to use as it was freeing and fun. We were allowed to experiment and try the medium before we started our project and were also encouraged to do thumbnail sketches of all our ideas.

Our final piece was based off our favorite song and lyrics to that song. We were encouraged to share our ideas with our peers which would validate each student in their experience with the project.
