Step 1: Individualize your Learning Target
Your first step will be to write an Indvidualized Learning Target (iLT). The iLT will guide you through the art making process. It explains what your project's objective is. In other words, its your work's guiding principle.
To write an iLT, start by selecting one of the Standard Based Learning Targets below. There are many to choose from so look for one that best aligns with what you are trying to accomplish.
Once you have selected a Learning Target, individualize it so it includes specifically what you want to accomplish.
Here is an example.
Let's say you want to create a painting of your house in the style of the famous work of art, Starry Night by Van Gogh. You look at the Learning Targets and select: I Am Inspire: I will consider how artists, artwork or art concept inspire me.
Next, you individualize the Learning Target so it becomes yours: I will consider how the artist Van Gogh painted the Starry Night.
Now you try!
