1 verbs: conceptual framework

Analyze: 

To study or determine the nature and relationship of the parts by 

Every learner should know how to analyze in every stage of making art. 

So, that they can reflect upon what's lacking and what's working. 

Ponder: 

Think about (something) carefully, especially before making a decision or reaching a conclusion.

Ponder to create art and pondering for ourselves help us to find the genuine motivation to create art.

Question:

An act or instance of asking (feel or express doubt about)

The act of question is a great source to lead the level of thinking to a dipper dimension and inspiration, which will help students to create better art.

Research:

Investigate systematically (careful or diligent search) / collect the information about a particular subject

The stock of knowledge should be studied. Students can get help from research to know what they like as their core influence. It also fills up the gap between imagination and reality.

Communicate:

Share or exchange information, news or ideas/ to transmit information, thought or feeling so that it is satisfactorily received or understood.

One of the main reason to create art is to express the internal message or feeling. The art that we create should be meaningful more than just a pretty object.

Practice:

Perform (an activity) or exercise (a skill) repeatedly or regularly in order to improve or maintain one’s proficiency

Constant practice with clear goal is the fastest way to get to the real work that everyone wish to make.

Criticize:

Engages professionally in the analysis, evaluation, or appreciation of works of art

Learner should exercise the ability to criticize so that they can apply it to their own art making.

Idea for curriculum Design

Skill based lesson ideas

1) Caricature exercise

-learn briefly about caricature so that student can have the better idea about how to analyze real life and exaggerate the idea that they want to pick out more


Basic pen handling exercise (sketchbook exercise)
-before the class starts make students to draw circles,  simple exercises that help student to have better control on what they want to draw.


Choose descritive words
-do comparason exercise

Costume -can apply historical background

ex) Poor vs Rich
ex) man and woman

Chapter 4 Art lesson

Idea for the lesson plan:

Start the class with short animated film. (less than 5 minutes) -prepare a question for students to help them analyze and enjoy the animation more (short research can be shared later too)

Why Knowing art history is important? (history)

The power of knowing (knowledge) help us to have originality and reality in our work.
-term that I need to define to students: what does originality means??
-it could end up as a fan art but how this can be more meaningful??

Lesson Plan for week 2 (rough)

Learning about the history of short animation film

TJ Bae

“Anifest” and “the animation show of shows”

http://www.anifilm.cz/cs/

http://www.animationshowofshows.com/

A slide about brief history about short animation film should be made.

A few interview videos of short animation directors.

Objectives:

Students learn about the beauty of short stories.

Students learn about different types genre in animation.

Students learn about the power of personal story. (How they are very different from long ones)

Example lists to watch:

Patrick Osborne : feast, Pearl , pet

Ainslie Henderson: Stems

Iris Alexandre: Crin-crin

Kristian Pedersen: Boygen

Dina Velikovskaya: About a Mother

Seoro Oh: Afternoon Class

Etc: shorts from Disney and pixar

Possible ideas for activity:

This can be the first one to start the semester or the last one. If the class starts with this, a teacher can help students to define what makes animation. If it were the last one then, students can be divided into each groups and analyze each animation with a critical eye of what they have been learn so far.

It could be very discussion base.

Primitive shape:

Circle, rectangle, triangle (a teacher can make handouts) -  stretch and squeeze them.

Choose your favorite one and give variations (size, mass etc.)  3 times.

Draw a lineup of characters. Come up with an interesting story about them.

2)       

A teacher can prepare a picture that shows interesting environment.

Draw characters that would fit into the environments.

-ideas about props and how characters can show the glimpse of the world that they are living in.
