TAL 324 Final Lesson Plan 

April 8th, 2021

Lesson Plan: What is Symmetry?

1. Course subject: Visual Arts Education

2. Title: Reflective Symmetrical Butterflies

3. Art Discipline: Personal Expression

4. Grade Level: 3rd grade

5. Teacher: Stephanie Mosberg

Date: April 8th, 2021

Objective:

1. Understands the definition of symmetry in art

2. Identify symmetrical objects versus non-symmetrical art objects

3. Creates a symmetrical object using lines and space

4. Is persistent in seeing art efforts through completion.

5. Creates art through experimentation.

Component: Studio Skills
Competency: The students will demonstrate an understanding of reflective symmetry in

art and other objects in their environment.

Plan:
A. Introduction of lesson: Powerpoint/WarmUp

Define Reflectional Symmetry: means that the work of art is the same on one side as the other, a mirror image of itself, on both sides of a centerline.
Watch the warm up video:https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1tXc73JuKuYRymZ1J_Etg7KTQQ aDtBGjVnZXkUZzFKUI/edit?ts=60686296#slide=id.gce61fff1e1_0_26

Brainstorm: Teacher will give examples of symmetry vs non-symmetry. (heart & L)
Students need to find an object, hold it up and share with the group

Lesson: Explain to the students that they will create their symmetrical butterfly. Once they have the primary figure drawn, then they will add their
colors and creativity to the piece.

B. Rules:

1. Listen carefully as the teacher demonstrates each step of the project.

2. Wait for the teacher to finish each step before you begin.

3. Raise your hand to ask questions or if you need the step repeated.

 STUDENTS' FEEDBACK

Claudia Spivak

Mini-Lessons

Jayci

I  think that jayci did a great job with her lesson plan! it was so educational and focused on a very pressing issue in the world. it is so important to educate young minds on climate change and protecting our oceans. She was interactive and I  really enjoyed her activity:)

Claudia

 I  thought my lesson plan went well although I  was weirdly nervous before i started and I  think you could hear it in my voice. I would try to be more confident and maybe lengthen my lesson plan!

Stephanie

Stephanie did a great job today with her lesson plan! I  remember learning about symmetry in elementary school and I remember how fun it was drawing and creating symmetrical objects. overall she did a really great job and this would be a great activity in real life.

 Video

This video was very important and extremely educational. It explains the dangers of removing creativity in the classroom and how the overall education system is becoming unacceptable. Today teachers need to create lesson plans for all topics and for all students. Every student is not going to like the same things as everyone. Incorporating creativity and teaching life lessons should be the focus in classrooms today.
