Blue and yellow paint

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Phase 1: Relative Advantage – Using Digital Storytelling will allow students to see how yellow and blue paint will mix to make another color. Automatic transitions between the slides can go between yellow and blue and show how they mix to form green.
Phase 2: Standards and Assessment-
SC Curriculum Standard:
VPA I. A. Begin to identify differences among media, techniques, and processes used in the visual arts.
NETS-S
3. 3. Technology productivity tools
-Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.
-Students use productivity tools to collaborate in constructing technology-enhanced models, prepare publications, and produce other creative works
Assessment – Rubric (see attached)
Phase 3: Instructional Strategies
Before Technology: Instructional Strategies- Place students in groups of four based on technological ability. Begin by asking students what they think will happen if you mix the two paint colors. Have yellow and blue saran wrap and layer them to show students that there may be a color change when overlapping the colors. Next, go to the computer lab and complete a tutorial on digital story telling focusing on colors and transitions. A PODcast of the tutorial will be available for the students to listen to while working on their presentation. Students will also be given a “how to” instruction sheet to look at while making their powerpoint and to keep for later projects. Directions and a rubric will be given to each student and a model will be shown based on coloring a color by number picture. Students will be instructed that they must have the name of the color on each slide and the last slide should be the final color. Automatic transitions should be used to show how the colors mix to form another.
After Technology: Students will save their projects in their group folder. The project will be posted on the classroom website. They will also be graded based on the rubric previously given to the students.
Phase 4: Instructional Environment- The entire group instruction will be held in the art classroom. As for the technological part of the project, this will be done in the computer lab. Lab assistances and the teacher will aid students with any problems that they may be having. When students finish the requirements of the assignment, they can add music and other graphics to their project.
Phase 5: Evaluation and Revision- Walk around the classroom to help the students, making notes on what the students are having issues with. Also, note what students find engaging about the activity. At the end of the activity the students will take a survey on what they enjoyed about the activity and what they did not like. Based on student feedback and what the teacher saw, the project can be re-evaluated for next time.
