Freebie: Self Portraiture & Togetherness Unit Plan (collaboration with Women's Art Wednesday)
Are you looking for ways to have your high schoolers or middle schoolers engage deeply with work by women artists? Do your old Art History textbooks leave you wondering where all the women artists are?
We all need critically engaged Unit Plans in our Art classes.
Express Yourself: Self Portraiture & Togetherness is a collaboration between Artful and Educational & Women's Art Wednesday (WAW) featuring the work of five figures from the history of Art (all women). You can check out their work on WAW's Instagram:
Guide your students as they take a deep dive into the history of great women artists from history. Your students will engage critically with Art History in order to synthesize their own ideas of what portraiture means to them, and ultimately will create their own self portraits in any number of mediums, depending on their individual preferences.
This Unit Plan, complete with individual Lesson Plans and Slideshows, is appropriate for teens and preteens, and features a great deal of student choice, collaborative learning, and independent problem solving.
Give your students a nuanced view of the History of Art, with this free resource.
Best of all, Women's Art Wednesday generously provided us with exclusive content that is normally available only to their paying supporters on Patreon. Their coloring book pages are sure to engage your teens.
The lessons include opportunities for collaboration, cooperative brainstorming, independent exploration, literacy connections, and synthesis of complex ideas into an art exhibition for the school community or the public. All of the suggested activities are student-centered, meaning students will be focused on their own art-making goals, maximizing agency and flexibility in this flipped-classroom inspired approach. Homework assignments prompt students to continue working independently between classes. Great for long-term sub plans!
Please leave a review to let us know how you used this Unit in your classroom. And remember to please support Women's Art Wednesday and their most honorable project.
