Art Prints Lesson
Objective: Students connect drama to other art forms.
The museum is facing a problem and the students must solve it! This lesson gives students the chance to take on the role of an art curator in a museum. Teachers prepare a wide array of printed pictures of famous paintings, sculptures, and drawings for this activity. This lesson is the perfect way to integrate drama with visual art, as students will have the chance to critique and analyze various works of art. Along the way, they practice negotiation and team work skills. This lesson is a part of our recommended sequence in the Fifth Grade Curriculum.
Fifth Grade Drama Journal: Art Prints
To maximize student achievement, download this drama journal for students to use as reflection or formative assessment. For each lesson in the curriculum, we have created a corresponding journal page for your students. A drama journal allows participants to reflect on their learning and artistic growth (metacognition). It also allows you, the teacher, to see how students are using the drama vocabulary, thinking about big ideas, and perceiving their own strengths and weaknesses. If you use the journal for assessment and would like more assessment tools, visit our Fifth Grade Curriculum.
