Objectives for this lesson plan
- The students will be able to construct a piece that includes texture and layering. Students will be creating a mixed media painting that will integrate painting as well as multiple layers of images they have collected from media outlets that relate to gender roles. Students will also demonstrate the use of texture through the application of thread to the canvas over the painting and collaged images.
- The students will be able to analyze how power in the media tries to produce gender roles by having a class discussion in the beginning of the lesson. Students will analyze media images and be able to identify underlying messages they convey about societies expectations of gender roles.
- The students will be able to asses everyone's final work by having a final class critique where they will discuss strengths and weaknesses of each work. They should be able to identify elements within each work that strengthen the overall understanding of power. Students will relate terms they have learned to explain the works of their peers.
