Middle School Self Awareness Lesson Plan
AGE/GRADE: 7th
1) CENTRAL FOCUS:
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to articulate how color can be used to express and
communicate emotions. Students will consider how simple objects can evoke an emotional reaction
based on life experience and how color influences the way that viewers perceive a work of art. Students
will then apply this learning to the creation of a “paper painting” inspired by contemporary artist, Megan
Coyle. Students will reflect on their learning by completing a self-assessment and by participating in a
thoughtful critique with their peers.
