FINAL PROPOSAL ON GENDER

Ashley Barody

Conclusion

When I decided to go over my proposal for the second time I did not realize how much of the paper I would want to revise. When conducting the paper the first time, I felt that I was focusing most of my time on the artists and advertisements that I was going to use for my students. This time I was able to go back into and revise the story so that students would not all veer to one assignment. I also was able to go back into my review of literature and ensure that all of my articles were needed and helpful for the research I was conducting. I feel that going over the paper again gave me the opportunity to make an even better proposal that I would like to do with my students next year.

What’s new? From the first project:

Added the Weida (2011) article that touched upon the art classroom and how this is a class where students can dive into their identity when creating their pieces Also how students will create work gendered by what

toys he/she is given at home The review of literature was revised and the pertinence

to the proposal was added Used Fraenkel and Wallen (2006) to help get to the

meat of the literature review Changed the second story so that the materials were not

to highly charged (may affect references in their work) Added new advertisements that went with the new story

Procedure

Students will listen to: Balto Then students will watch a PowerPoint presentation

with the contemporary artists and the advertisements Students will listen to: To kill a mockingbird

Then students will watch a PowerPoint presentation with the contemporary artists and the advertisements

Students will then create a project based on the stories and advertisements that they were drawn too

After the completion of their projects students will have an in-class critique followed by filling out a critique form that follows Feldman’s model

Students will hand in the critique form with their projects

Assessment of learning sample

Data of Absences

Student evaluation on their work Describe: What is in the artwork: size, medium, process,

people or objects you see and what is happening Analyze: How it is designed or put together: how the

elements and principles of art are used (color, line, shape, form, space, texture, pattern, balance, harmony, emphasis, proportion, movement, rhythm, unity, contrast)

Interpret: It’s meaning: What do I believe is happening? What meaning, mood, or feeling does the art suggest?

Judge: It’s success: Is this art work successful? Why or why not?

What influences were used to help devise your piece? What elements and principles were used in your project?

Evaluation of charts and critique The evaluation of the critique will help to find the

reasoning behind the project and why the student chose that story

The two charts will help break down the actual projects completed in the classroom The first chart will help to see which story males,

females, N/A chose The second chart was devised to see if the students

chose a different story depending on how many days he/she was absent

The goal of the assessment is to show what gender favored a certain story and whether absences affect the story choice.
