Objectives:
I can demonstrate that I can create an animal that has distinct parts of 2 or 3 other animals/plants; this will be my focal point
I can create an environment (real or imaginary) for my newly created animal
I can add texture to my animal and environment by using multiple values or colors to layer my oil pastels (i.e. scales, feathers, grass, rocks, tree bark,etc.)
Vocabulary:
Background- the area that is behind your focal point, the focal point usually covers up part of the background
Environment- the surrounding area around your animal
Foreground- the area that is in front of your focal point; part of the foreground usually covers up a small portion of your focal point
Overlapping- placing something in front of or behind something else so that part of it is covered up or covering another area
Texture- showing how something would feel if you could touch it; texture can be real (when you can actually feel it) or imaginary (when it looks as if you could feel it but you actually cannot

National Core Arts Standards (NCAS):
Creating:
Anchor Standard 1: Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work.
5th Grade VA
.2.5: Demonstrate quality craftsmanship through experimentation or revisions when creating artwork.5th Grade VA
.1.5: Combine ideas to generate an innovative idea for art-making (students combining animal parts to create a new animal).
Presenting:
Anchor Standard 6: Convey meaning through the presentation of artistic work.
5th Grade VA
.1.5: Cite evidence about how an exhibition in a museum or other venue presents ideas and provides information about a specific concept (students presenting their environment and animal as part of a display or discussion).
Responding:
Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work.
5th Grade VA
.2.5: Identify and analyze ways in which artwork communicates meaning (discussing how the environment or texture contributes to the animal's characteristics).
Connecting:
Anchor Standard 10: Synthesize and relate knowledge and personal experiences to make art.
5th Grade VA
.1.5: Apply knowledge of various animals and environments to their own art-making process (creating new creatures based on personal or factual knowledge).
Wisconsin State Art Standards:
Wisconsin State Art Standards:
Creating:
A.4.7: Develop details in their artworks through use of line, shape, form, color, texture, and space (adding texture using oil pastels).
A.4.3: Use the elements and principles of design in solving artistic problems (using background, foreground, and environment to compose their scene).
Understanding Art in Context:
B.4.2: Recognize and understand the effects of cultures, historical events, and the environment on art (students might incorporate real-world animals or environments).
Critique and Respond:
D.4.1: Recognize how their choice of media, tools, techniques, and processes help determine the results of their work (exploring how layering oil pastels creates texture and depth).
These standards combine the creativity of animal design with technical skills like layering and texture, while also encouraging students to think critically about their artistic choices.
