Lesson #1: Vandalized Paintings

A lesson that has been taught in Painting has been that of Vandalized or Appropriated Paintings. In this lessons students look at different historical paintings and choice on that they would want to appropriate or 'vandalize'. After student choice a painting that interest them, they change the painting to reflect social, religious, or contemporary commentary. Before the smart board, the lesson would've been introduced with slides of examples. The smart board lesson begins with the slides, and then the students have the opportunity to 'vandalize' a painting at the end using the gallery and pen tools. This when we would discuss the importance of creating the additions so that it flows well with the painting. For this lesson, I was able to use a smart board. Students responded well to it and had fun interacting with the last paintings. However, I believe that having an interaction with the board between informational slides would engage students more throughout the introduction of the lesson, instead of having the interaction at the end.

Lesson #2: Color Theory

In the Design course, Color Theory has a lot of vocabulary that is needed. Before using the smart board a power point would have been used and students would wrote down notes for each color scheme and be given examples of each. Using the smart board, students will also be taking the notes down, but will also be given the chance to interact with the board by coming up for each color scheme and given an example using the color wheel and the infinite cloning tool.

Lesson # 3: Design Review

To review for the Design Exam, I created a jeporday game. In the past, the review for the exam was a worksheet that students completed and then it was gone over in class. Using the game to review, students will hopefully responds better by making the review more exciting.

Lesson #4: Exquisite Corpses

The Exquisite Corpses game is usually a introducation to a Surrealism project. The game is usually introduced using a powerpoint of images and historical information. Transformed into the Smart board, not only would examples be shown and historical infomation be provided, students will have the chance to use the board to create their own Exquisite corpses using the screen shade tool.
