This activity provides links to videos and small group work to investigate the actions of people who have exhibited courage throughout history. The handout also includes resources for 20 international people who have shown courage in the face of social and political struggle.

This bundle includes a slideshow about color theory, a comprehensive color wheel with color scheme definitions, lesson activities, and a bonus color mixing challenge.

This activity fosters student creativity and changes their work methods to add flexibility to their thinking. This lesson includes an overview of the approach by Avant-garde artists and offers an activity that typically spans two class periods.

This project involves research activities and small group work to understand the actions and values of people who have exhibited courage in difficult times. The bundle has graphic organizers, research resources with links for 20 people, and steps to begin a painting. It also includes example images to analyze in small groups. I worked with an artist from Switzerland who presented at the Anne Frank School to develop this project. Our social studies department also contributed to the resources.

This activity centers around the "Cut-up Method" by Avant-Garde artists of the 1950s, including artists like David Bowie and David Byrne. The method focuses on altering how we work to foster inspiration and add flexibility to work methods in the classroom.

This lesson gives an overview of color theory for 8th through 10th grade. It asks students to question Josef Albers' color study and learn about different color schemes. The project walks students through color phenomena with questions, partner work, and discussion post prompts. Students will then mix colors and paint an entire color wheel, including highlights and shades.

This color wheel is designed to print on cardstock and has color scheme definitions at the bottom of the handout. Students would then learn about color schemes and paint the color wheel by mixing acrylic paint to differentiate each color. Acrylic paint is preferable on card stock. The activity leads to another color scheme project in the bundle.

This activity fosters student creativity and changes their work methods to add flexibility to their thinking. This lesson includes an overview of the approach by Avant-garde artists and offers an activity that typically spans two class periods.

This slideshow looks at a color study by Josef Albers, at the Bauhaus, to understand color relationships. The slideshow discusses color schemes and important ideas about color phenomena.

As an icebreaker and a way to widen an understanding of visual art in everyday life, students will answer the questions on this worksheet and create an art-style notebook cover. The teacher will print their designs and they will glue them to their art notebooks or sketchbooks for class. This activity is a starting point for group and small group discussions about all of the ways artists create visual culture.

This graphic organizer involves researching a courageous person's cultural time period and actions. It also includes an overview of the steps to start a courageous person painting.

These activities introduce character traits of courageous people and consider how the organization of imagery and text helps convey a message.

This activity includes a handout to analyze in small groups to find the parts of the image that tell a story. This handout also includes a thorough post-evaluation of a courageous person painting.

This reflection redirects the class to deal with disruptive or inappropriate behaviors. The form could be used at any time, but is especially effective right after the behavior, the next day, or sent with the student to the office.
