| Primary Learning Objective(s): |
Students will exercise their critical thinking skills.
Students will learn how to express themselves through artwork without being too literal. |

| Approximate Duration of the Lesson: |
Greater than 120 Minutes |
| Materials and Equipment: |
Examples of Expressionistic artworks, paintboards, oil paints, paint brushes, solvents and hand cleaner |
| Technology Resources Needed: |
digital camera, computer with Internet access,image editing software,concept mapping software, such as Inspiration, printer |
| Background/Preparation: |
Students need prior knowledge of color theory and color wheel use. |
| Procedures/Activities: |
1.)STEP 1. (ONE CLASS MEETING)
1.Teacher will show examples of Expressionistic artwork and do a short demonstration of painting expressionistically.
2. A discussion will follow and a template from the concept mapping software program, Inspiration, will be shown. This template will show “what colors evoke what emotions.
(a). Certain colors have a subconscious link to certain emotions.
(b). Warm colors are associated with anger, anxiety, fear, etc…
(c). Cool colors are associated with Calmness, serenity, happiness, etc…
(d). Brush Strokes and paint application can convey a sense of emotion.
3. Students will then use digital cameras to go outside and take close-up pictures of each other’s faces in different expressions (i.e.- angry, sad, happy, etc..).
2.)STEP 2-(ONE CLASS MEETING)
1. Students will use the “expression photos” to link what colors would be most appropriate with each image. Students will begin to select an image and set of colors that they will use for an expressionistic painting. Students will use the Internet to research information about historically significant artists who were expressionistic. Some of these site would include Artcyclopedia (see URL below).
2. Students will draw out the image from their photos onto a large sheet of paintboard. ( Artcyclopedia) Includes a chronological listing of Expressionist artists with thumbnails of their paintings.
3.)STEP 3- (MAY TAKE SEVERAL CLASS MEETINGS) Students will paint their images using oil paints. They will be instructed to make “expressive” brushstrokes and to only use the colors that will portray the emotion that they want to convey.

| Assessment Strategies: |
Students will be assessed based on the following criteria:
1. How well they stayed on task.
2. How well they used the appropriate colors and matched their photographed image.
3. Did the student use the art materials in the proper manner to create the proper style of painting? |
| Extension: |
The content could be modified to accommodate students of higher artistic ability by having them select an image that is more challenging than a face that already has an established emotional expression. |
| Remediation: |
If a student does not have a good understanding of color theory and how to properly mix colors with use of the color wheel, remediatiion would include instruction on the primary, secondary, intermediate, complementary and analogous colors. |
