Essential Learning: The student demonstrates thinking skills using artistic processes by applying the creative process (see back of page)  The student communicates through the arts by using the arts to express and present the idea of the Haiku, to communicate for a specific purpose, and develop personal aesthetic criteria to communicate artistic choices. 

Monday:  Conceptualize--To come up with the idea, we brainstormed images that would show darkness into light.

Tuesday:  Gather --We went to the library to research images we can put into our art.

Wednesday:  Develop--We drew out rough draft work, decided what medium to use, and practiced with that medium.

Thursday:  Organize the elements and design qualities in your art

Friday:  Reflection:  Keep asking, "What do I like about my art as I create?  What needs improvment?"  and

               Refine:  Fix what needs improvement.  Repeat the reflection and refinement steps until there's nothing to fix.
