Background Information - In the past semester we have learned about how abstract artwork is affected by their own personal interest, artwork that represents our fears and then we moved into learning about Dia De Los Muertos. To provide students with a wide range of artists and artwork they will now move into learning about East Asia Artwork and how the art from East Asia affects people’s lives.

Lesson 1 Vocabulary :

Timeline -

Lesson 1 - Minhwa Drawing  (Can be extended for 2 day lesson to complete coloring)

Introduction - For this assignment students will begin by looking at a class powerpoint where we learn about Minhwa artwork, our standards and then some examples of their assignment.  Synchronous Work - At this stage Students will folder their paper into 4 to resemble a folding screen door. Students will need to put a draw in 4 sections. Each drawing will be of an animal native to california and a plant as well.  Asynchronous Work - Students have received instruction and will work independently and continue working on the assignment.

Lesson 2 - Ukiyo-e Art  (Can be extended for 2 day lesson to complete coloring) Upon Returning to Class students can create their Ukiyo-e art by doing a print using scratch board.

Introduction - For this assignment students will begin by looking at a class powerpoint where we learn about Minhwa artwork, our standards, and then some examples of their assignment. Specifically we are looking at Ukiyo-e prints of Yokai and Japan’s Shamanism culture. They will be recreating an Amabie which was meant to ward off epidemics.  Synchronous Work - Students will work with myself in a follow along drawing. We will create a large drawing of the Amabie and students will decorate in their own way.  Asynchronous Work - Finish Coloring

Lesson 3 - Critique/ Reflection

Introduction - Students will need their drawings and a piece of paper. We will review the grading rubric and self assign a grade.  Asynchronous Work - We will take a moment to have students respond on Schoology with some reflection questions about the two cultures they learned about and their artwork.  Students will then compare the two styles and reflect on the historical aspect that brought around the two styles. Are they similar or different.  Synchronous Work - We will continue class by having students share their artwork and their own opinions about the assignment. Students can also grade each other for an opportunity to receive a better grade.

Reflection Questions - 

1. What are the Vocabulary words? Please explain them? 

2. What did we learn about? 

3. How do you feel about what we learned? 

4. Can you explain the 2 art styles and their similarities/differences?
