Course Description
6th grade students will explore how artists make meaning and how they can create personal meaning across varying contexts and media. Through research, experimentation, innovation, collaboration, reflection, revision, and presentation, students will identify how art reflects varying time periods, traditions, resources, personal ideas, and cultural values. Students will respond to and create works of art that emphasize the elements of art of line, shape, color, form, space, value, and texture, as well as principles of design that include movement, unity, proportion, balance, pattern, and contrast. Students will explore diverse concepts such as narrative photography, Freedom Quilts, profound and mundane narratives, personal symbols, ceramic bells, mandalas, and microscopic objects. They will interpret artwork across a variety of criteria and analyze artwork for context, subject matter, ideas, and mood. Students will present their artwork, curate artworks, explain their artistic decisions in writing and in critiques, offer constructive criticism to peers, and thoughtfully revise their works in response to in-progress critiques.

Notes from survey:
I saw some really great input about the YAG and what was being requested. Many overlapping requests like how to videos. How to videos are not part of the curriculum unless you utilize the whole platform. There are ways to see teachers implement a lesson or to follow their Youtube channel on working through a project. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE USING YOUTUBE FOR OUR STUDENTS. Unless you are able to embed a video in a slide so that the Ads are not played. You need to be the one demonstrating the learning process the best of your ability. You are the exemplar. Kids only grasp true attention for an average of 3 minutes. So even a video is not always the answer. It is how you want your class to learn. The point of our Tuesday meetings is to talk about demos and techniques and having examples to share. I have been asking for that for awhile now and I just get crickets. I can't help whhat i don't know just like I can't assess what I can't see. Only a select few ever follow through. So if there is a technique you aren't strong at, ask! or find classes and join your community to strengthen your abilities.

Resources was mentioned by almost everyone but did not expand as what resources you wanted me to find. If you look at the individual lesson at the bottom is the resources. However there is a ways to look up just resources that your can apply to any lesson. External resources won't work since it's not part of the platform. We went ahead and copied and pasted and hyperlinked the corresponding resources for the unit of lessons. I might record myself in some demos I can share but that doesn't mean everyone is capable or comfortable with my process. The first lessons should start with the elements of art and principles of design. There has always been a breakdown on what elements and principles are of focus per lesson. This should be expressed and assessed for every lesson.

Slideshows, classroom management, art history, artitist, knowing TEKS, and differentiation are your responsibility. How one teacher runs their classroom will be different from another teacher's classroom. The art of education has slowly started adding slides of a lesson and adding more step by step pictures of the lesson. Please remember to toggle through the photos of the step by step. You can copy and paste those photos to a slide show. The art of ed also has the lessons broken down for you as far as the teks, writing points, differentiation, connections to artists and art history. most of the resources at the bottom have an artist. if the lesson is pop art and the artists are known for pop art then the art history connection/art movement is pop art. Itis all in the lessons its how you want to oraganize it and introduce it to your students. I can't predict who is in your classroom. Classroom management... that is on you and the culture of your classroom. Every campus is different. What works for me might not work for you. When we meet on Tuesday you can ask for advice. Ask your mentors on your campus for advice. Some campuses have a set management expectation and implementation process. It has to come from you. All the TEKS are explained at the top of the YAG. The examples of the TEKS is how the project is made and presented.

Once again, Tuesdays are how we talk about things. You should be planning and working through the lessons ahead of time to catch what areas of struggle there could be for your kids. I feel like no one cares really since I also got the same questions repeated multiple times in the meetings and sometimes several weeks of the same question. If you don't want to take the opportunities to help yourself or others, then that is your choice. Your Tuesday PLC is not to be interrupted, you should not be in a meeting or duty at that time or pulled away. Teachers in your room should respectfully give you space. No students should be in the room either. I am aware that some campuses have different schedules and cannot meet. All you have to do is be active in the chat and reach out to see if I can meet at a different time. Expectations of these PLCs are not negotiable for those that can attend. Participation isn't optional. How can you expect that from your students when you may have the same questions and needs and then don't help yourself?
