Scope & Sequence:

Lesson 1: In this lesson, students learn that they will be creating ‘engravings’, and prepare their materials for the upcoming project. Note: There is no video for this lesson.

Lesson 2: In this lesson, student artists learn about Persian Miniatures, then begin work on their own by choosing a narrative (or poem) and drawing an ‘action scene’ from it.

Lesson 3: In this lesson, student artists learn about how Persian artists would extensively pattern their paintings, then they begin adding patterns to their own engraving.

Lesson 4: In this lesson, students artists look at the bright colors Persian artists would use in their miniatures, and are able to use oil pastels to add color to their own work. They also continue to engrave patterns.

Lesson 5: Allow a fifth day entirely for finishing and refining work.

Lesson 6: Optional. a final day for finishing.

After 'mark complete' has been hit, you've unlocked that lesson, and you can then use the sidebar to easily click to different lessons within the project (helpful if you are working through the project with more than one class).

Why do I need to hit mark complete? Certain lessons have email triggers (such as teaching tips when there is a painting lesson), and this helps us know when to send them. It also helps us track completion rates.
