Learning Objectives

Indicator: 3.1.2.LI.2 - Use computer software applications to simulate the effects of art media

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify at least four computer software applications commonly used to simulate traditional art media and state one key feature of each.
Analyse a given digital artwork and explain which software tools and filters were likely used to create specific effects (such as watercolour washes, charcoal strokes, or oil paint textures).
Use a selected computer software application to produce a digital artwork that simulates the texture and appearance of a natural or manmade art medium studied in the previous week.
Present their digital artwork to the class, explaining the software tools and techniques they used and how these relate to the traditional media simulated.
Critique a peer’s digital artwork constructively, comparing how effectively the digital simulation mirrors the qualities of the original medium.

Curriculum details

Strand: Art and Design Theories and Application (Strand 1)
Sub-strand: Material Classifications and Methods (1.2)
Content standard: 3.1.2.CS.1 - 3.1.2.CS.1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of art and design media formulation and use in creating art and design. 3.1.2.LO.1 Explore natural and manmade materials for art making.
Indicator: 3.1.2.LI.2 - Use computer software applications to simulate the effects of art media
Suggested placement: Semester 1, Week 7 (Week 7 of the year)
Our suggestion, laid out in curriculum order across three terms of twelve weeks. NaCCA does not fix the week, so follow your school's scheme of learning.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Problem-Based Learning: In mixed-ability groups, analyse selected art and design works to identify the computer software applications that were used in making them. Group Work/ Collaborative Learning: In groups, discuss how the computer software applications were used in making the art and design works. Project-Based Learning; Group work/ Collaborative Learning: In smaller groups, use ideas from the environment and the available computer software applications to create art and design works.

Assessment (3.1.2.AS.2). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 3 Strategic reasoning; Level 4 Extended critical thinking and reasoning.
