Abstract

For my honors capstone project, I taught a 3-week unit to my Art III class at a suburban high school in Nebraska. This unit covered concepts such as color theory, composition, and how to create the illusion of depth within a piece of art. This unit ended with the students creating a 24x30 in. painting of a space that was personal to them. The instructional strategies that I used throughout the unit included learning objectives, providing feedback, and nonlinguistic forms of representation. The assessment strategies I used included a pre and post-assessment at the beginning and end of the unit, full class critique, and the use of a rubric for grading. I found that these strategies of instruction and assessment proved to be effective because my students grew from an average score of 50% on their pre-assessment at the beginning of the unit to an average score of 85% on their post-assessment that was taken at the end of the unit.
