Kelsey Pennington

2. Process
Researched Art and Content
Integration
Planned a lesson based on
Indiana content standards
Created a sample for use in the
classroom

3. Research
Marshall:
Depiction-Having students depict a subject
from observation. Allows students to see how
artists observe and record the world around
them.
Making connections across subjects enhances
learning. –Marshall
Goldburg
Art allows for the exploration of a subject in a
deep, meaningful way.
Students learn about, with, and through the
arts.

4. Research
Smith
Focuses on drawing, but can be applied to other art
forms
Observation-learning to look
Composition-placement of objects
Oreck:
Art allows students to explore and make discoveries.
Art should be a part of every subject, not something
separate.

5. Models
Use of models
Integration of art and science
Compare and contrast object
and model
Use of models to develop
learning

6. Standards
1.6.1 Observe and describe that models, such as toys, are like the
real things in some ways but different in others.
2.1.5 Demonstrate the ability to work with a team but still reach
and communicate one’s own conclusions about findings.
2.1.7 Recognize and describe ways that some materials — such
as recycled paper, cans, and plastic jugs — can be used over
again.
2.6.2 Observe and explain that models may not be the same size,
may be missing some details, or may not be able to do all of the
same things as the real things.
3.6.3 Explain how a model of something is different from the
real thing but can be used to learn something about the real
thing.
