II. Lesson Plan and Activities
Lesson 3: Planning and Creating Your Art
Essential Questions
Enduring Understandings
What are the advantages of using art (non-linguistic
communication) instead of written or verbal means of
conveying ideas? Personal and cultural introspection is the first step
toward global competency.
How does the process of creating art give perspective
on one’s own culture? Art is a universal language that can convey cultural
norms and values.
Activity
1. Introducing
“Heritage"
Theme
2. Conceiving
and
Planning
the Art
Description and Important Points
Materials
a. Using the ArtLink “Heritage” handout, introduce the theme.
b. Ensure students understand that the subject of their artwork should
be a scene that both illustrates a traditional story, activity, or item
that is important to them (something they would want to pass
down to their children) and demonstrates a cultural value they
embrace.
a. Re-examine together the six examples of art found in Lesson 1 to
discover how each one depicts a meaningful traditional activity
or a thing from that artist’s experience. Also review the value/
values that is/are meaningful to each artist and that underlay
their art piece.
b. Students use the "Heritage": Planning Worksheet to develop
sketches that illustrate their selected value, sketches that include
cultural details and the “who,” “what,” and “where” of the scene.
3. Creating
the Artwork
a. Students should confer with their teacher regarding final ideas
and available art media, tools, and techniques that will be used
to create final artwork.
b. Students work on and complete individual pieces.
c. Teachers determine the time frame, keeping in mind the
Creative Connections ArtLink timeline for submitting student work.

Share artwork with a friend to get peer feedback during the planning and/or creating stages.
Students meet with teacher to get feedback during the planning and creating stages.
Students use the ArtLink Cultural Norms and Values Assessment Criteria (Rubric) to self-assess at any point during
the planning and/or creating stages.
Hold a Class Critique or Gallery Walk. By describing, explaining, comparing and analyzing, students discuss the
cultural norms and values illustrated in their classmates’ artwork.
