 THIS IS MY UNIT PLAN PAGE

Unit Title: Technology and Creativity Grade level: 9-12 Discipline: Art

Teacher name(s): Thomas W. Bryker III Email address: bryker@washington.k12.pa.us School(s) Washington High School (s) Washington School District Title of unit: Technology and Creativity Overview: Begining with a simple image from a digital camera, the student can take the image into Adobe Photoshop and create a new image by using filters and tools that are within the program.

Time needed to complete the unit: Generally this can be done in one lesson, but can be stretched out to a week or two. It all depends on the level of the students understanding of computers and software that is used in the design field. Some students already have good knowledge of Photoshop.

Big idea: Creativity is frequently labeled by technique.

Essential question(s): How are artists labeled by technique? How can technology enable a students creativity?

Summative task: Create a piece of digital art work accompanied by an artists statement.

Content Indicators: (What students will know) <span style="color: rgb(255,102,0);">The students will understand how to use the program Adobe Photoshop. They will understand how to use the basic tools and effects and filters that the program offers. They will understand how to use layers to help create the images.

Process Indicators: (What students will do to demonstrate knowledge of the content) <span style="color: rgb(255,102,0);">The students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of the use of Photoshop by correcting photos, changing the overall look of the images, adding effects, etc. The students may be also asked to animate a small portion of the image. Demonstration of the tools, buttons, and filters by various media such as the teacher, pod cast, or dvd.

Teacher materials needed: <span style="color: rgb(255,102,0);">A computer that can handle the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. I think a smart board that can project the images i am working on for the students.

Student materials needed: <span style="color: rgb(255,102,0);">The students will need individual computers that are powerful emough to run the newest versions of Adobe Photoshop. The students will also have to have access to a few scanners and printers so that they can scan in the images that are to be worked on and print out their final products.
