Day 9: Finishing touches
Expedition:
In this lesson students focused on finishing up their environments and their creatures. Some students chose to share an environment, so they continued to collaborate and go farther in depth. Students who were farther along, spent time perfecting features in their environment and/or their creature while the students who still needed to finish had time to add their finishing touches.
Essential Understanding:
-Prior knowledge of subject matter influences the choices made during creation of work with an intended function.
-The choices made during the planning process directly influence the finished product.
-Composition of spatial elements impacts how that space can be utilized.
-Artistic intention and prior knowledge influence the artist’s choices regarding how to most effectively compose a plan for their piece.
Inquiry/Learning Target:
For todays Learning objectives, the students will be able to.....
Observe and Learn to Comprehend: Students will be able to observe real life examples of 2-d plans for 3-d spaces and identify the most important elements of the composition
2. Envision and Critique to Reflect: Through written reflection, students will identify other situations where this planning process could be applied
3. Invent and Discover to Create: Students will invent their own visual 2-D plan for a 3-D product they will be expected to create
4. Relate and Connect to Transfer: Understand how the steps from this planning process can be transferred to planning in other contexts

This picture depicts a student showing off her "laboratory" for her animal. Her "Pega-cheeta-corn" was also a scientist amongst other things. She was able to go in more depth with her environment by having a variety of materials to work with. The materials themselves, also created a narrative for her creature to adopt and take form.
The picture to the left shows one of the exhibits that two students are collaborating on together. Both students have worked very hard to meet the needs of both animals in their exhibit. Today in class, these students worked final details like painting clouds in the sky, and attaching the lions tail. You can see by looking at the picture that these students made sure they provided their animals with food, shelter, and drinking water. Great work!
The picture to the right shows two students, who are working together, adding the final detail of paint to their creatures. These two students worked back and fourth between their creatures and their environment. At this point their environment was finished and their animals were put together, the only thing they had left to do was add some color to their creatures.
