Using the Instructional Guide

A rigorous education in the arts is incredibly important. In addition to developing the next generation of performers and artists, the arts can build skills of creativity, collaboration, analysis, synthesis, and problem-solving that will help students succeed in any endeavors they pursue. This instructional guide offers guidance to educators as they plan engaging and impactful learning experiences in their classes by providing a number of supports including standards, topic guides, and additional resources.

STANDARDS

The Fine Arts Standards for the state of Utah are broken up into four strands . These strands, Create , Perform/Present , Respond , and Connect touch on all areas of how students can plan, make, share, and think about art. Each strand is important in student development. The list of all standards for this level is included under the Resource heading. The Course at a Glance heading includes the standards broken down and unpacked into possible learning intentions and success criteria to provide examples of how the standards might be used to help focus on a number of specifc skills as students complete complex projects in the arts.

COURSE AT A GLANCE

The Course at a Glance section can help educators think in terms of skills and projects for their classes. Since the standards include skills that can be developed and assessed in a number of different ways, teachers have the freedom to build unit and year-long maps that best serve the needs of the class and the students. The Course at a Glance section does not dictate a specifc progression, but can help educators consider how a range of projects can touch on all standards andbring rigor and variety to the course. Additionally, the Course at a Glance section will help teachers see how standards can be incorporated into learning intentions and success criteria. The section also breaks standards down into key skills , concepts , and vocabulary . Each topic in this section includes links to lesson plans and supports tied to that topic.

RESOURCES

Throughout the guide are links to resources to help with planning , instruction , and assessment . It is important to utilize trusted and approved resources to enhance the learning experiences of students. By employing district-approved resources into instruction, teachers can ensure compliance with educational standards and foster a safe and robust learning environment. The Resources heading includes a complete list of standards, selected effective practice strategies, information on disciplinary literacy for the arts, and suggestions for supporting rigor in the arts classroom. Use this section to help improve educational practices or begin an exploration of new ideas or strategies.

WHAT’SNEW

This year’s guide contains new resources for teachers and revisions. Some key additions include:

● Complete list of state standards ● Questions stems to help increase OTRs in the arts classroom ● Support document for Disciplinary Literacy for the arts ● Anchor standards unpacked with key concepts and main ideas ● Essential questions in visual arts ● Model rubrics tied to standards, anchor standards, essential questions, and key traits

Visual Arts Effective Practices

Skill

Canyons District Best Practices (Instructional Priorities) Actively engage ALL students in learning; students are active when they are saying, writing, or doing. Pace instruction to allow for frequent student responses. Call on a wide variety of students throughout each period. Give clear, straightforward, and unequivocal directions. Explain, demonstrate and model. Introduce skills in a specifc and logical order. Support this sequence of instruction in your lesson plans. Break skills down into manageable steps. Review frequently. Demonstrate the skills for students and then give the opportunity to practice skills independently. Instructional Agility: Teacher makes appropriately paced intentional corrections and feedback constantly based upon listening and observations. ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

What it looks like in Visual Arts

OTRs

● Students actively set up materials in preparation for studio/work time. ● Students practice skills w/teacher modeling. ● Students are actively engaged in specifc art skills/projects. ● Specifc verbal or written peer feedback

Explicit Instruction

● Teacher demonstrates/models any necessary techniques. ● Visual examples are referenced/explained. ● Non-examples provided or explained (what not to do). ● Explicit vocabulary instruction, if necessary. ● Goals are set so student know what they need to accomplish by the end of their studio time.

●

Teacher requires student feedback to check for understanding. (OTR)

Instructional Agility& Feedback

Instructional Agility: Formative assessments taken by teacher through observation of student work constantly! Re-teaching happens on the spot with individual students, small groups or whole group depending on the needs of the students. Teacher provides additional modeling as needed. Whole/small group: Class, I see a lot of you are rushing your attachments. What are the 4 steps of attachment? (choral response) Great job! Let’s remember that each step is important. ● Whole/small group: Students, I see something wrong in how the paint brushes are being put back. Class, show me with your brushes how they should face when they are put away. Perfect! Tips up! One more time class, how should they be put away? (choral response) TIPS UP! Great. ● I ndividual: Julie, you are a little off on your orthogonal lines. Where should the lines meet? That’s correct, can we try that box again? Great job! That is Examples of Feedback cycle: ● Base observations on learning outcomes and on task criteria. ● Observations and feedback should be immediate and can be left unrecorded. ● Target individuals or small groups of students to ensure meaningful feedback. Feedback can be verbal and/or written. Use rubrics with task criteria as the basis for both oral and written feedback. ● Provide positive reinforcement of individual strengths. ● Provide constructive comments about areas requiring further development. ● Provide opportunities for peer feedback. Provide meaningful feedback: ● exactly where it should go. What about the next form? Excellent, you are getting better each time. Strategies for observations: ●

Feedback cycle: ●

Provide timely prompts that indicate when students have done something correctly or incorrectly. Give students the opportunity to use the feedback to continue their learning process. • End feedback cycles with the student performing the skill correctly and receiving positive acknowledgement.

●

●

Teacher Clarity & Assessment

●

Provide clear learning intentions for students daily. Share rubrics, exemplars, models prior to student work time. Assess to identify who needs further support.

●

●

Formative Assessment should be focused on observing students as they learn and provide feedback to them to assist progress towards outcomes. Observe students with criteria in mind. Provide timely feedback. Summative Assessment is comprehensive and records the extent to which students have met the outcomes for a period of work.

● Provide opportunities for student self-assessment that can form the basis of discussion and feedback.

Instructional Hierarchy: AAA

●

Examples: (Since visual art is all about skill development, AAA is done routinely throughout class) ● Teach skills through demonstration, explanations, examples on the board, teacher modeling ● Students practice whole group, small group, or individually ● Students apply skill to piece of art Students use implied texture, rhythmic lines, and emphasis to create an original artwork that communicates group identity (e.g., teens, family, school club). ● Students make decisions, plan and create art within given parameters. ● Students develops a plan for expressing in artwork addressing decisions on the use of elements, principles, subject matter, theme, style, media, and technique. ● Students make decisions where there are multiple acceptable solutions. Examples of DOK 4: ● Use a variety of resources to research a “big idea” of your choice. Develop multiple images that Examples of DOK 3: ● communicate a personal interpretation of the idea and refne them into a plan for a two- or three dimensional artwork. S Select elements, principles, media, style, and techniques most appropriate to the express of the idea. ● During the creative process, self-evaluate and improve thework. ● Write an artist’s statement. ●

Explicitly teach a skill to students by explaining, demonstrating, and modeling. Build the skill through practice and use, to gain automaticity.

●

●

Provide students with multiple opportunities to apply the skill.

DOK3: Students create original artwork within a set of teacher-directed parameters which could include subject matter, theme, historical style, elements and principles, media, and/or technique. They can express a personal point of view through the creation of artwork, and create art that serves a purpose in society (e.g., fne crafts, graphic design; group identity; social, cultural or political commentary). Students justify artistic decisions, and analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of communicating meaning in art. DOK4: Students selects a topic of personal interest as a theme/subject for creation of art and defne an artistic problem. They conduct research using a variety of sources and develop ideas through a series of studies. They choose and use elements, principles, style, media, and techniques that will best express the intended meaning. Students can write an artist’s statement that explains and defends artistic decisions. Students develop and defend personal answers to aesthetic questions: “What is the nature of art? What is beauty?” and “Who decides what makes something art?” They draw and defend conclusions about how art is infuenced by and infuences culture/history.
