High [9th-12th] Lesson Plan

4 Part Snowflakes

Created on November 29, 2016 by Scorchard



Each student will receive two sheets of paper, each containing two quarter ‘slices’ of a snowflake design. Students must choose from suitable media taught over the course of the semester to create their composition. Each ‘slice’ must use a different media and/or technique. This lesson can also work as a 2 - 3 day substitute plan and be easily adapted to create collaborative snowflakes.

Each student will receive two sheets, each containing two quarters of a snowflake design.
Note: if using both snowflake designs, make sure that students receive sheets that have the same design.

1. Students will choose from multiple suitable media, tools, techniques, and processes to create each quadrant of the snowflake design
2. Each quadrant must use a different media and/or technique
- If this is a substitute plan, I do not allow my students to use paint when I am not present.
- The instructor can stipulate required media and leave the techniques up the to students
3. Upon completion, students will cut out and assemble their snowflakes and prepare them for display on black construction paper

Students will be evaluated using the standard art rubric

This project can be a 2 - 3 day substitute plan and can be adapted to create collaborative snowflakes (print the template larger, mix up segments from each student).
