Identify & define vocabulary that connect the art form with the
other two identified content areas*:
1. Memory- process of retaining information over time
(Tulving, 2000)
2. Subconscious- Not conscious awareness (Ellenberger &
Craik, 1970)
3. Abstract- a composition that does not attempt to represent
external reality (Arnheim, 1997)
4. Free Recall- Being given a list of information to memorize,
then being asked to restate it in any order. (Zimmermann,
2014)
5. Association- Perceived experience influenced by memory
of previous experiences (Treadaway, 2009)
Lesson Activities & Procedures (please be very specific,
including individual roles of group members)*:
1. (15-20 min) Discussion of article in 3 groups of 8 for
10min then each group report out to the class. Class
discuss for 5-10 mins. We will provide the questions for
discussion. Q1: How does this article relate to memory?
Q2:How does memory relate to the lived experience?
Q3:In what ways is memory developed?
2. (1-2 min) Introduction- Brett will introduce the members of
only) (3-5): Please check all that apply and add number and
description of applicable content standard.
_x_1.0 Artistic Perception: 1.2 Identify and describe
characteristics of representational, abstract, and
nonrepresentational works of art.
_x_2.0 Creative Expression:
2.4 Create an expressive abstract composition based
on real objects.
2.5 Assemble a found object sculpture (as

communic
2.7 Communicate values, opinions, or personal
insights through an original work of art.
___3.0 Historical & Cultural Context:
_x_4.0 Aesthetic Valuing:
4.4 Assess their own works of art, using specific

for improvement.
___5.0 Connections, Relationships, Applications:
List all materials needed in the columns below.
Have
-paper
-paint
-cotton balls
-feathers
Purchase
-pipe cleaners
-toothpicks
-hot glue
Anticipatory Set (beginning; example VTS)*:
We will ask students to participate in VTS with a chosen
image.
-What is going on in this image/ work?
-What do you see that makes you say that?
- What more can we find?
Formative Assessment strategy (of assigned, peer-reviewed
reading)*:
Students will read article and gain background information
about how memory is used in "Play" and different types of
art making. Students will then create art from memory of a
piece that we have created. They will synthesize the
information from the article and the conclusions they made
about memory activity to write their memos and class
discussion after the gallery walk. The class discussion will
address the different perspectives of elements and the
memo will bring the article and the studio together.

How will this lesson allow for/encourage students to solve problems in divergent ways?
Students will work in teams with a variety of different media to problem solve depending on what they can or cannot
remember.
How will you engage students in routinely reflecting on their learning?
When students walk around the room, they will reflect on the differences of their memory compared to their peers.
How will you adapt the various aspects of the lesson for differently-abeled students?
For visually impaired students, we would use models that are three dimensional and textured allowing them to use
their sense of touch rather than sight.
What opportunities/activities will you provide for students to share their learning in this lesson?
Students will share their learning through their gallery walk around the classroom and classroom discussion.
