Lesson Plans and Rubrics
On this page you will find original lesson plans and rubrics I have wrote that are downloadable as PDFs, and my samples of the lesson. Before I introduce a lesson to my students I always make a sample of the completed lesson. Testing out the lesson prior to presenting informs me of any possible problems. Also, my samples help the students visually understand what they are about to create, and convey to them my enthusiasm for the upcoming lesson. To see samples of student artwork created from these lessons visit the 'Student's Artwork' page!
Lesson: Illuminated Manuscript Page
Left is my sample of the Illuminated Manuscript lesson. In this lesson Students identified characteristics of illuminated manuscripts from the Medieval Ages and Renaissance. They then created an illuminated manuscript page based on a song lyric or quote of their choice. The students tea stained a piece of 12" x 18" white drawing paper, the measured and drew out the template. Next they used colored pencil and marker to write out their quote, and create an illuminated letter, miniature illustration, and border. In their artwork, the students used symbols and images to visually represent the meaning of their quote or lyric, and demonstrated purposeful use of color and line.
