Description This art history workbook teaches students about the artist Jacob Lawrence using the Discipline-Based Art Education model. Students learn about Lawrence and his artistic process through reading and watching a biography of the artist, an art analysis, coloring sheets, and reflecting on the way he would develop a narrative series of art, similar to writing a graphic novel, film, or computer game. Finally, students create their own piece of art based on current-day issues they've researched and reflected on. The final project has students create a piece of art that illustrates a newsworthy topic that is important to them. They will find an article based on something they've experienced, create a geometric/graphic drawing of the subject and write a caption similar in style to the art of Jacob Lawrence. Once complete the students fill out a reflection sheet on their final artwork. Worksheets can be used as sub lessons, as enrichment to your art lessons, or as min-lessons on their own. An essential for any art classroom.
