Project/Unit Description/Expedition:
Attention Researchers: Your Creative Thinking Labs are up and running successfully! Well done. Your first mission is to research, design and create a brand new planet for Earth’s inhabitants to live on after the meteor hits! All researchers will need to come together to decide what 5 characteristics the new planet will need for the inhabitants to survive… Then each researcher will design and create their new world by planning/sketching, drawing and finally painting their brand new Ideal World and Habitat they would want to live in!
Students will be brainstorming in their sketchbooks and then creating a detailed, well thought-out acrylic painting of the habitat of their invented planet, in response to the prompt given above.

Essential Understanding (s):
- Works of art reflect the experiences of the artist.
- Planning and refinement is an essential component in creating art in all its forms.
Inquiry/Learning Target:
Students will design a new, habitable world in their sketchbooks and create an acrylic painting of it.

Key Concepts:
- Improvisation
- Law / Rules
- Force
- Space / Time / Energy
- Artistic Intention
Skills:
- Generating or assessing solutions
- Listening critically, thinking independently, and giving reasons and evaluating evidence
- Comparing analogous situations: transferring insights to new contexts
- Generating or assessing solutions
- Analyzing or evaluating arguments, interpretations, beliefs, or theories
Art Focus:
Students will create an acrylic painting using given techniques, brainstorming methods and personal influences that depicts their “Ideal World.” Brainstorming, creating and reflecting on their individual artworks along with their peers with develop growth in the students among the arts and across content areas.

Literacy Focus:
Students will be learning vocabulary terms including depth- foreground, middle ground and background, shading, and single light source while revisiting thumbnail sketches and composition. They will also be encouraged to brainstorm with a list of ideas and discuss these ideas with the teachers and peers, and at the end of each day we will have a written reflection to post on the discovery board.
