· Students will be able to create geometric shapes. (P)

· Students will learn what a self portrait is. (C)

· Students will be able to create a collograph. (P)

Standards Addressed

· Geometric Shapes- able to draw geometric pictures.

· Cutting the shapes into a face- able to think abstractly.

· Geometric Shapes- seeing and combining basic shapes found in common everyday objects.

Vocabulary

· Geometric Shapes: circles, squares, rectangles and triangles.

· Collograph: relief print pulled from a "plate" that is made by placing textured materials on a surface

· Plate: made to enable relief printing processes

Pedagogy

1. Teach about geometric shapes

2. Show examples of a plate and collograph and how to make one.

3. Give construction paper and scissors to each student.

4. Have students cut out the shapes in their faces to make a self-portrait.

5. Have students glue the shapes of their face on the paper.

6. Cover face with regular paper.

7. Using a crayon, go over the paper on top of the face to make the collographs.

Assessment

· Class critique.

· Rubric designed to show whether or not the students followed the instructions correctly.

Adaptations/Integrations/Accommodations

This project can be integrated in to a math lesson about geometric shapes. One way to help students with special need, would be to explain what geometric shapes are. Then have shapes already cut for them to assemble on their
