6. Lesson vignette:
a. Anticipatory set- I will introduce me students to the idea of fear. I will have each pod/table write down on a large piece of paper their definition of fear and some examples. I will then hang these pieces of paper in the front of the class room for the class to discuss. After that, I will show the students artwork that is mass produced such as Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup print and John Alvin’s movie posters and ask my students if they believe that mass produced artwork is less significant because it is mass produced. I will then have my students write in their journals their biggest fear and how this fear can be transformed into a movie.
b. Body of lesson- Students will create relief prints. These prints will be scary movie posters. The prints should represent their fear as if it were the main idea behind the making of a movie. The poster should include a visual representation of their fear as well as a title for their movie. The students can create their prints using photos they find off the internet or their own drawings. We will transfer the images to the linoleum and the students can begin carving away. Finally, the students will be able to decide what color(s) they want their print to be.
c. Closure- Students will choose their best print to hang on the wall. We will view each other’s work and decide if the fear was portrayed well through the poster. Students will be given extra credit if they turn their poster into a short film (around 5 minutes). We can then close the lesson off by discussing the posters, watching the short films, enjoying popcorn, and having a pARTy. Grading will be based on craftsmanship, time spent during class, portrayal of their fear, and extra credit will be awarded for creating movies.
