Big idea: Human Emotion

​

Project Description: Personal Picture Frame

In lesson plan #3, students will create a picture frame for the artwork they’ve been working on from lesson plan #1 and #2. Students will create a picture frame that includes a visual detail or design that reflects the emotion they were expressing from the previous two lesson plans.

​

Essential Understanding: 

Students will be asked to think back to the emotion they initially referred to in the previous two lessons. In reflecting on that emotion, they’ll be asked to refer to the specific event or subject that made them feel that emotion. They'll use a specific subject within that memory to create a specific design for their picture frame.

​
