Lesson Rationale:
This lesson is important because it gets the students to explore different mediums of art. It also gets them to learn about artists that are part of Saskatchewan and what types of images they make. The students get to explore working outdoors while drawing and creating a 2D image of an object that they may have never payed much attention too until this assignment. They also get to go deeper with this, by taking a photo of a scene they come across that captures their attention, not on school property. This assignment allows for the students to be able to feel comfortable sharing their images with the rest of their peers, without feeling like they may be judged. They get to be in a safe sharing environment. This assignment also give students the confidence to believe in themselves that they can create an object or scene that they see in real-life. It gives them the confidence to see that they too can be like Saskatchewan artists and can create images that incorporate Saskatchewan.

This site is easy to use, has tons of ideas, and breaks art ideas up by grade, art period, medium, artist, subject, and (what I love the most) integration. If you click on the Integration tab, there are numerous ideas on how to bring art into all your other subject areas. The ideas are endless!

*NOTE: Currently this site appears to be under construction for updates.
