LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Students will be able to create an expressionistic flower artwork using mixed media, including markers, crayons, and watercolors, inspired by the style of Franz Marc.

ASSESSMENTS:
Students will present their completed artworks and explain how they incorporated expressionistic elements and their inspiration from Franz Marc.

KEY POINTS:
Expressionism: A movement in art that emphasizes the expression of emotions and feelings through bold colors and dynamic forms.

Franz Marc: A famous expressionist painter known for his use of color and abstract forms, especially in his animal paintings.

Mixed Media: An art technique that combines different materials and methods, such as markers, crayons, and watercolors, to create a single artwork.

Color Theory: Understanding how colors work together and how they can convey emotions (e.g., warm colors for energy, cool colors for calmness).

OPENING:
Begin with a discussion about emotions and colors. Ask students: "How do colors make you feel?"

Show a brief video or image slideshow of Franz Marc's artworks to spark interest.

Engage students with a quick drawing activity: "Draw a flower using only colors that represent how you feel today."

INTRODUCTION TO NEW MATERIAL:
Introduce the concept of expressionism and its characteristics.
Explain who Franz Marc is and show examples of his work, focusing on his use of color and form.

Discuss mixed media techniques and demonstrate how to use markers, crayons, and watercolors together.
Anticipate the misconception that expressionism means "messy" art; clarify that it focuses on conveying feelings, not just creating chaos.

GUIDED PRACTICE:
Model creating a simple expressionistic flower step-by-step, using different techniques for each medium.

Set expectations for respectful behavior during art-making time.
Ask students guiding questions such as:

"What colors will you choose to express happiness?"
"How can you use shapes to convey a feeling?"

Walk around to monitor students, providing feedback and support as needed.

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE:
Students will create their own expressionistic flower artwork using the mixed media materials provided.

Remind students to think about their feelings and how they can express those through their color choices and shapes.

Set a timer for 30 minutes and encourage students to experiment with different techniques.

CLOSING:
Have a gallery walk where students display their artworks.
Ask each student to share one thing about their artwork: the feelings they wanted to express and the media they used.

Summarize the lesson by discussing the importance of expressing emotions through art.
EXTENSION ACTIVITY:
For students who finish early, provide them with additional paper to create a background for their artwork, using watercolors to blend colors that complement their flower.
HOMEWORK:
Ask students to research another expressionist artist and write a short paragraph about their style and what emotions they convey through their artwork.
