ObjectiveStudents will be able to illustrate what types of southwest designs they used
within their works of art by the end of the lesson.
Students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of the southwest design by
creating a design for their clay pots by the end of the lesson.
Students will be able to create a clay pot using techniques demonstrated by the
teacher by the end of the lesson.
Anticipatory StateThe main focus of the lesson is to get students engaged in southwestern design by
painting designs onto clay pots using geometric designs and being able to express
their own works of art through creativity.
Providing InputThe anticipatory set would be to get the students excited about clay pots by asking
them to draw what they think about what southwestern designs are?
I will then explain to them that they will be creating their own clay pots for their
plants to grow in.
I will give them a reminder that the designs on the clay pots should only have
lines or geometric shapes, etc. to refer back to their understandings of southwest
art.

IV.
Modeling- I will begin the lesson with the anticipatory state with the main focus
on clay pots.
Then, I will begin by showing them different types of southwest designs they
could use to paint on their clay pots.
I will also show them examples of clay pots.
I will demonstrate how to paint the clay pots and what methods works/doesnt.
What colors typically go well with what colors?
What do southwest designs look like?
What do geometric designs look like?
Types of geometric designs using shapes (triangles, squares, circles) line,
etc.
V.

Checking for UnderstandingI will check for understanding by a simple fist to five if they understand their task
of creating a clay pot.
I will also keep checking for understanding throughout the whole lesson
Or, what designs can only be created on the clay pots

VII.

I will ask the students to create a simple design on a sheet of paper that will see if
they understand the types of designs Im looking for.
Guided PracticeThe students will then begin by drawing a couple of designs they want to put onto
their clay pots
Then, once they are done checking with me they will begin creating their own
clay pot design.
I will guide them if they forget any techniques that works/doesnt work as they
work on their clay pots.
Independent PracticeStudents will then demonstrate their knowledge of clay pots by painting on their
own and will ask if they need any help.
Students will think mindfully on what they want to put on their clay pot. *must be
referring to the southwest theme
They must only use any types of designs such as geometric shapes, or what they
think is southwestern designs.

VIII.

Assessment:
I will assess the students on a rubric with categories on effort and creativity.
I will assess them on how well they captured their understanding of southwest
design through geometric shapes.

IX.

State Standards
-did not need to complete because of the different level of students at Denier.

X.

AccommodationsStudents are able to choose any of the choices before painting their clay pots.
1. Draw a picture of their clay pot design
2. Write a paragraph about how their clay pot will look, the types of designs
theyll use and types of colors.

ModificationsIf needed, I will modify the lesson by asking the students to demonstrate what I
mean by southwest designs on their own sheet of paper, or ask them to draw it on
the board for everybody to see.
Other Considerations:
What kind of space or room will you need?
A regular size classroom with tables that will be appropriate for painting
clay pots.
How will you configure the group, large group, small group, individual?
The students will work individually on their own clay pots.
