LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Students will be able to create a flag inspired by Jasper Johns using mixed mediums and demonstrate an understanding of color theory and texture.

ASSESSMENTS:
Students will present their completed flags to the class, describing the materials used and the inspiration behind their design. They will also complete a brief reflection on the process.

KEY POINTS:
Jasper Johns' use of symbols and colors in his artwork.
The concept of mixed mediums in art.
Understanding primary and secondary colors and how to blend them.
The importance of texture in art and how to create it using different materials.

OPENING:
Begin with a brief discussion about flags and their meanings.
Show a short video clip of Jasper Johns and his artwork, focusing on his flag paintings.
Pose the question: "What do you think makes a flag special or meaningful?"

INTRODUCTION TO NEW MATERIAL:
Explain Jasper Johns' artistic style and how he uses everyday symbols.
Introduce mixed media as a way to enhance their art by combining different materials.

Demonstrate how to mix colors to create their own unique shades.
Anticipate the misconception: "Mixing colors will always give me a muddy color." Clarify that with the right proportions, students can create vibrant new colors.

GUIDED PRACTICE:
Students will work in pairs to experiment with mixing colors using paint and other materials provided.

Monitor student progress by circulating and asking guiding questions such as, "What happens when you mix these two colors?"
Provide examples of texture using different materials like sand, fabric, or paper.

Encourage students to discuss their choices with their partner.

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE:
Students will create their own Jasper Johns-inspired flag using a variety of mixed mediums.
They should incorporate at least three different materials and use a color palette they designed during guided practice.
Set clear expectations for work time: stay focused, use materials responsibly, and respect others' workspaces.

CLOSING:
Have students share their flags in small groups and explain their artistic choices.
Conduct a quick class discussion on the different techniques used and what they learned about color and texture.

EXTENSION ACTIVITY:
Students who finish early can create a second flag using a different set of colors or materials, reflecting on how their techniques changed from the first flag.

HOMEWORK:
Students will write a short paragraph about what they learned from creating their flag, including what materials they used and why they made those choices.

STANDARDS ALIGNED:
The lesson aligns with Tennessee Art K-12 Standards, focusing on the creation of art, understanding of the creative process, and appreciation of diverse artistic expressions.
