Art Station Unit Plan: Painting & Charcoal

This document outlines plans for two art stations - a painting station and a charcoal station. The painting station will teach acrylic painting techniques through demonstrations and having students create a piece using at least three techniques. The charcoal station will focus on quick sketches and blending materials to create a final work of art. Both stations provide materials, instructions, learning goals, questions and examples of artists who worked in those mediums. Standards about different paint types and the history of charcoal as an art medium will also be discussed.

TAB Unit Planning

P = Painting Station; C = Charcoal Station


Stations:
• Painting Station
o This station will teach students different techniques when working with (acrylic)
paint. Allowing them to make a final piece with multiple techniques.
▪ Materials
• Paintbrushes
• Paper
• Water cup
• Paper Towels
• Scratchers
• Paint (Acrylic)
• Paint palettes
▪ Instructions
• Clean-up instructions
• Video they can watch in order to understand different techniques
along with a paper marked with what each technique is.
▪ Learning Goals
• Produce creative works that demonstrate innovation in concept and
materials.
• Compare and contrast different techniques in painting and how
they are best to be used.
▪ Questions
• How does knowing the contexts, histories, and traditions of
artforms help us create works of art?
• How do you/others know when a technique is best used for one
aspect rather than the other?
• Charcoal Station
o This Station will allow students to learn how charcoal is used and how fast it is
able to be ruined. In the end they will create a piece that will have used every
material at the station.
▪ Materials
• Charcoal pencils
• Vine Charcoal
• Charcoal Sticks
• Blending Stumps
• Kneaded Eraser
• Toned Papers
▪ Instructions
• Clean-up instructions at table
• Five – minute intro to the station with examples of how to use each
material
▪ Learning Goals
• Brainstorming, sketching, planning, and reflecting to generate
ideas in order to create
• Compare and Contrast abstract, representational, and
nonrepresentational works of art
▪ Questions
• How can the viewer ‘read’ the work of art?
• What factors encourage and/or prevent people from taking creative
risks?
Demonstrations:

• Painting Station
o The students will be asked to practice different techniques to use with acrylic
paint. They will then be asked to create a realistic or abstract piece of work using
only a monochrome pallet along with at least three different painting techniques
for their final piece.
• Charcoal Station
o Each student will start with a piece of paper, charcoal pencil, and a kneaded
eraser. They will be asked to find something in the room that they are able to see
and within 30 seconds attempt to draw, and erase, the entirety of it. They will then
turn their paper ninety degrees and find another object in the room and repeat the
first step. They will repeat this 5-10 times. Finally, the students will be asked to
create a work of art out of what they have come to make. They will do this by
going in with all of the charcoal materials listed in the materials section above.
Other Standards:

• Painting Station
o Talk about different types of paint and why we have chosen acrylic then look into
artists who use acrylic paints
o Andy Warhol
o Darien Bogart
• Charcoal Station
o We will talk about how Charcoal is one of the very first materials used for art
making and look back into cave drawings.
o Look into Portrait of a Young Woman by Franz Skarbina (Realistic)
o Look into Drawing XIII by Georgia O’Keeffe (Abstract)
