Task Description: Students will create a scenic design portfolio for an adapted fairy tale. They will identify and research a design concept based on a specific time period/genre in which they will adapt the fairy tale. They will construct a mood board and apply the elements of design – color, line, shape, texture, space/mass and position – to create a scale ground plan and to sketch a rendering of their design. They will create a portfolio that includes the design concept, mood board, research, ground plan and renderings.
Evidence of Student Learning Collected: design concept & research PowerPoint; ground plan; rendering; student reflection.
MCAs model effective assessment practice and demonstrate that standards-based teaching in the arts is specific rigorous by sharing a glimpse into an individual teacher's classroom. The MCAs on this website come packaged with a suggested strategy for assessing student learning, types of evidence to collect, model rubrics, and samples of student work demonstrating their process and learning. The samples of student work illustrate the unit in action by providing a snapshot of a moment in time showing student response to instruction.
