Objectives for this unit of study: Students will discover and discuss the various faces of Creativity by examining and comparing great works of art and literature that are excellent examples of imagination, curiosity, elaboration, and mental flexibility. Students will identify the benefits of new and different approaches to problems and discover this is often the premise of popular stories/books. Students will recognize that often authors and artists apply or adapt a single idea or material for different uses by examining a concept from another perspective. Students will be asked to utilize new and different approaches to a problem by modifying and adapting ideas or concepts as they compile a list of authors /book titles where this kind of creativity is used as the foundation for a futuristic story. Students will view surreal art to identify and apply various perspectives so they can recognize how the artist transformed information into a different representation Originality Students will discuss classic literature such as Narnia, Alice in Wonderland, A Christmas Carol, and recognize how the authors were able to generate unusual solutions to problems and unusual answers to questions with greater depth and complexity. Elaboration Students will recognize the need for detail and use detail to embellish or enhance objects, concepts or questions as they evaluate Edgar Allen Poe’s work; The Tell Tale Heart. Curiosity Students will examine unfamiliar concepts utilizing Brain Pop, concepts such as surrealism and pose in depth questions with creative insight. Imagination Students will think of examples of stories like Jumanji, that created alternative outcomes for reality through imagination Students will evaluate surrealism art like giving human traits to inanimate objects (example in House of Usher and famous artwork of Salvador Dali =melting clocks) and discuss how these artists were able to demonstrate an ability to overcome the constraints of logic, time and environment. |
