Lesson Summary

Grade Level: 10th-12th Grades

Subject Area: Art

Lesson SummaryTopic:

This lesson is designed for secondary level students who have completed a prerequisite art course. Through this lesson, I will teach students how to recognize the use of photoshop in images, and how to use photoshop themselves. This is an important skill to learn because many images in the media have been altered in convincing ways. By recognizing the capabilities of photoshop, students will be able to look more critically at images that are often perceived as true. Students will become more technologically literate, and will be able to create altered images of their own.

Lesson SummaryObjectives

Given an image of themselves, students will be able to use Adobe Photoshop to create an altered, yet realistic image that will score at least an 80% on the rubric.

After using the internet to find a visual image, students will practice visual literacy by blogging about the image’s visual and contextual clues and describing at least three different meanings that could be drawn from it.

Given visual examples, students will participate in a blog discussion with peers that include: at least two posts discussing visual culture, at least two posts connecting visual culture to identity, and at least two posts with online resources.

Resource #1

This is a fair use travelogue that will help students to understand copyrights and how to appropriately use materials. Some students may choose to use online images for this project, therefore this will be a good topic for them to touch on. It will also relate to art standard ART.II.VA.HS.3 in which students will have to communicate the origins of images and ideas and how they influenced their work.

I found this source through the Michigan Online Resources for

Educators website. The travelogue was created by

Thinkfinity, which is an online source for educators created by

the Verizon Foundation.

Here are three articles I could use as a resource for large or small group discussions:

Page 8: Technology Lesson Plan Resources

Resource #2All three of the articles talk about the impact

of altered or photoshopped images. Not only

has editing technology changed the way we see images, it has created new issues in

everyday life. I could use these articles to cover art standards ART.V.VA.HS.1 and

ART.IV.VA.HS.2. The discussions will help students connect photoshop knowledge to real life and broaden their knowledge in an

interactive way.

Resource #2These articles were published in the Wisconsin State Journal, the Jordan

Times, and the Journal of Cell Biology respectively. I found the first two

through Grand Valley’s database, and the last on the Rockefeller University

Press website. Although they are scholarly articles, I would use these

mainly as tools for facilitating discussion rather than direct instruction.

Resource #3http://chnm.gmu.edu/

This article will be used to instruct meaning making through images. Teaching the students how to be

visually literate will help them learn how to understand and communicate

in a new way.

Resource #3

I found this article on a World History Sources website that

was created by George Mason University. The website was created with the purpose of

helping students and educators find credible primary sources.

Here are some images that I would reference:

Resource #4

Using these images would be an

alternate way to introduce the idea of visual meaning

making. For instance, how does

the meaning change when the image is altered?

Page 14: Technology Lesson Plan Resources

Resource #4

These just make me laugh...

Page 15: Technology Lesson Plan Resources

Resource #4Unlike previous resources, these images are definitely not scholarly. In fact, one of these images came from a site that may be a little

inappropriate for students and the other came from a blog about cats. The images

themselves, however, do not need the context of their creator/owner in order to be useful.

Therefore it would be important for me as the teacher to gain appropriate fair use of these

items.

Resource #5Photoshop Tutorials found on http://www.photoshop.com

YouTube offers a wide range of tutorials as well!

Page 17: Technology Lesson Plan Resources

Resource #5

Providing Photoshop tutorials will help students to review what is taught in class. Giving them a

collection of tutorials will allow them to practice discovery learning when needed. Using the tutorials will not

be required, but it serves as an alternate mode of instruction to help students achieve the performance

standards for this lesson.

Page 18: Technology Lesson Plan Resources

Resource #5Several tutorials are found right on

Adobe’s website. The tutorials include video, written instructions, and different cheat sheets created by the company. If needed, many

other tutorials can be found on YouTube, and questions can be answered through Adobe’s help

page.

How I could use SlideShare...

SlideShare would be a good way for me to share powerpoints with the whole class. This allows my

powerpoints to be referenced on an individual basis rather than used as a one-time group presentation.

By linking slides together, I could create a non-linear presentation of the color wheel. This would allow students to interact and make discoveries rather

than just intake information. Especially with the color wheel, using an interactive powerpoint could help

them learn how to color mix when they do not have access to paints.
