One Day on Earth Abigail Taylor Prairieview Ogden South Kindergarten 3/7/2019

Big Idea that drives Lesson/Unit: Time is all around us. The seasons changing, is one way we can see time moving. The clocks on the wall also let us know that time is happening. But time is not always the same everywhere. Throughout history, time has been shown and measured in different ways. Different cultures have different calendars. Time is not the same on Earth, as it is on Jupiter. There are many interesting and strange ways that we see time work in our lives, and beyond. Key concepts about Big Idea: ● Time is different on different planets ● The sun helps us measure time ● The seasons changing is shown by changes in weather ● Time can be measured in many ways, besides clocks ● Calendars are marked differently in different cultures ● Time influences artwork Fine Arts Goals Met by the Objectives:

o Procedures: o (40 minutes) o Schedule [Agenda of day’s events] (2 minutes) ▪ First I will introduce myself ● I’m learning to be an art teacher so I can help bring art to everyone.

Before we begin drawing, I want us to start brainstorming some ideas of what we can draw today. Brainstorming means to come up with lots of ideas, to help you complete something. o First I will have a discussion and bring up the discussion questions with them. I will continuously reintroduce these questions for the remainder of the lesson as well. ▪ How do you spend your time? (activities, routine) ▪ How do you tell time? ▪ What activities do you do at different times of the day? (brushing teeth? Being at school? Going to bed?) ▪ During this discussion, I will ask them to physically act out these tasks. ▪ What does the sky look like when you wake up or go to bed? o PRESENTATION (3 min) o On a slideshow, I will show artist examples. ▪ This is a piece of art made by an artist named Aminah Robinson. This is her way of showing a story about a day. Her day happened in the year 1307. A long long time ago. This day was very exciting. It was the day that the king of Mali, King Abubakari traveled on a big boat, all the way from Africa, and came to the Americas. She chose to tell the story of this day because it is important to her and she wanted to share that story with others. ▪ This is an example of how someone else showed their day in a drawing ▪ There are three parts. The morning, the afternoon, and the night. We can see that it follows a story because there is a beginning (morning), a middle (the afternoon) and an end (the night). This is what we are going to do today, tell a story about our day. Yours doesn’t have to look like this, in fact all of our drawings might end up looking differently, and that’s good. ▪ We are going to tell our own story, of our own day. Our day may not involve traveling on big boats with a King, but it is still important, and we can share our stories with our friends and family. o DEMONSTRATIONS: (5 minutes) o Share my drawing and show what process I went through to determine what was drawn ▪ First I brainstormed some ideas, like we just did. What do I do when I wake up? What do I eat after I wake up? What does the sky look like when I wake up? What do I do in the middle of the day (the afternoon?). Do I wear pajamas in the afternoon? Is the sky blue in the afternoon? How do I know it’s nighttime? ▪ Then I split my paper into three sections. (I folded the paper so I could see three parts) (student) please pass out paper to each person, and we will fold our papers together. o Show how to split the paper into three sections so they can see how to make an image that follows a story in order ▪ First I fold one of the short sides of the paper over to the middle and press down at the fold I made ▪ Then I fold over the other side of the paper on top of the first fold ▪ Then I unfold both sides and see the two lines that I created ▪ Next I will trace over the line with a pencil, so it is easy for me to see the different parts o Now that my paper is ready and I have my ideas ready, I begin by drawing a sun for the morning, because I have big windows and the first thing I notice about the mornings, is the sun. Next I drew a lot of people, because I see a lot of people in the afternoon, when I

am at school. To finish my day, I drew a big moon and lots of stars, because at night, I can see the moon. o I will show how markers, crayons, and colored pencils make different kinds of lines and marks. o Now I will go over how you might draw some of the things you do, but you may already know how to draw these things. o If you want to draw a sun, what shape will you use? What colors will you choose? ▪ Demonstrate how to draw a human. (a circle for the head, a triangle for the body, and rectangles for the arms and the legs. What’s next? What shape are eyes? ▪ If you want to draw something, think about what shape it makes. Donuts are __. Houses are ___. If you need help drawing something, just ask, or ask your neighbor first to see if they might know. DESIGN/WORK SESSION: (25 minutes) o Everyone should have one paper folded into three now. If students need help still I will come around an assist. o I will call each table one by one to get drawing materials from the big table, that I will be at. o Each student will have markers, pencils and colored pencils to work with. o I will remind the students about what they are doing and to ask for help if they need it. o They will make the first panel showing how they start their day. The second panel will be something that happens during the day, probably during the afternoon time. The last panel will depict something they do at the end of their day. o I will walk around assisting anyone who may be “stuck” or having trouble understanding the objective. o Cut out coloring pages can be distributed if students finish quickly CLEAN UP: (2 minutes) o Make sure everyone writes their name or initials on the back of their paper o (student) please collect all markers and place them in the marker box on the big table. o (student) please collet all colored pencils and bring them to the box on the big table. o (student) please collect all drawings and place them on the big table. SHARE: (3 minutes) o Ask students to share what they made and what activities they do in a day. Walk us through the story they told. ▪ What do you do in the morning? What color is the sky? What do you like about the morning? What don’t you like about the morning? o
