This multi-part unit engages learners in a wide variety of skills and concepts as they develop skills in art analysis while viewing the work of Black visual artists, research visual artists, synthesize information, develop, enact, and adapt proposals to create portraits of their assigned artists that emulate the artists’ style.
This unit can be completed as a whole, or as lessons, although adaptations may be necessary, as each lesson builds upon the previous.
Note: while the unit plan is written as 10 lessons, many of the lessons can - and likely should - be completed over the course of 2 or more sessions, resulting in 20+ lesson days.
In addition to addressing Visual Art standards in all 4 areas (Creating, Performing, Responding, Connecting), this unit addresses Ohio Social Studies Standards as well as all five areas of the Ohio Social Emotional Learning standards.
While some aspects of the unit may be adaptable for younger learners, this residency is best suited to Upper Middle School and High School.
