Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Explore the students' understanding of what art is and what constitutes an artistic creation, allowing them to express their own ideas and opinions.
2. Introduce the artistic production methods (art materials, tools, and techniques), presenting them with a variety of materials and tools that artists use to create their works.
3. Guide students in identifying and describing the characteristics of different art forms (painting, sculpture, drawing, etc.) and provide them with the opportunity to experiment and create their own artistic productions.

Introduction (10 - 12 minutes)

1. The teacher should start by reminding the students of the previous lessons on art, asking them what they remember about what art is and who artists are. This initial discussion helps to activate the students' prior knowledge and prepare them for the new lesson.

2. Next, the teacher should present two problem situations that will serve as the basis for future discussion. The first situation could be: "Imagine that you are an artist and you need to create a work of art for an exhibition, but you only have a limited set of tools and materials. What would you do? How would you use these tools and materials creatively?" The second situation could be: "You are visiting an art gallery and you see several different art forms. How would you describe each of these art forms to someone who has never seen them?"

3. Next, the teacher should contextualize the importance of artistic creation, explaining that art is not just something beautiful to look at, but also a form of personal expression and a way to communicate ideas and feelings. The teacher can give examples of famous artists who used their art to express their ideas and emotions, such as Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo.

4. Then, to introduce the topic and capture the students' attention, the teacher can share some fun facts about art. For example, you can say that Leonardo da Vinci's painting "Mona Lisa" took more than four years to complete. Or that Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting in his lifetime, despite having painted over 900 works of art.

5. To conclude the introduction, the teacher should explain to the students that they will learn about different means of production and characteristics of artistic creation, and that they will have the opportunity to experiment and create their own works of art.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

Activity 1 - "Artists in Action"

The teacher can divide the class into several groups and provide each with a kit of various art supplies, such as pencils of different colors, marking pens, paints, pieces of cloth, strings, among others.

1. Each group must then use these materials to create a unique piece of art.
2. During the activity, students should discuss with each other how to best use each material and what they want to express through their creation.
3. The teacher should guide and encourage students to experiment with different artistic techniques, such as collage, drawing, painting, tying, among others.
4. At the end of the activity, each group should present their creation to the class, describing the creation process, the materials used, the techniques applied, and the meaning of the work.

Activity 2 - "Exploratory Gallery"

In this activity, the teacher can prepare a series of images of different art forms (paintings, sculptures, drawings, art installations, etc.) in advance.

1. After dividing the room into groups, each one will be given a series of images.
2. Each group must then examine the images and discuss the characteristics of each art form presented.
3. The students should observe the materials used, the colors, the structures, the themes, and try to interpret what the artists may have tried to express.
4. After the analysis, each group should present their observations and interpretations to the class.

Activity 3 - "Art Mime Game"

Within the formed groups, the students will receive different cards with the name of art tools, techniques, or art forms.

1. A student from the group must act or mime for the rest of the group to guess what is on the card.
2. They can draw in the air or imitate an artist working so that their teammates try to guess what is being represented.
3. The group that manages to guess the most cards in time promotes engagement and fun while they learn the names and concepts of the theme.

The teacher can adapt the quantity and complexity of the activities depending on the performance of the class, ensuring that all students have had the opportunity to learn, participate and express themselves in an active and creative way in the planned activities. After this stage, the students should be able to identify materials, techniques and art forms, as well as create and interpret their own artistic productions.

Return (10 - 15 minutes)

1. After all the activities, the teacher should promote a group discussion about what has been learned. This discussion should be guided by questions that allow students to reflect on the experience of the practical activities and connect them with the theoretical knowledge. For example, the teacher can ask:

   • "What were the main difficulties you encountered in creating your works of art with the materials provided?"
   • "How did you decide which techniques to use in your creations?"
   • "What did you learn about the different art forms when analyzing the images in the 'Exploratory Gallery' activity?"
   • "How was the experience of trying to express an idea or a feeling through a work of art?"
   • "What did you learn about the artistic creation process through today's activities?"

2. Next, the teacher should review what has been learned from the activities, asking the students about what they discovered or confirmed, about the art materials, the techniques, and the art forms. This step is important to consolidate the knowledge acquired and for the teacher to be able to evaluate the effectiveness of the practical activities.

3. To close the lesson, the teacher should ask the students to reflect for a minute on what they learned in today's lesson, asking two simple questions:

   • "What was the most interesting part of today's lesson for you and why?"
   • "What is a new thing you learned today about artistic creation?"

4. The teacher should encourage students to share their answers with the class, fostering an atmosphere of respect and appreciation for the different perceptions and experiences. This moment of personal reflection and group sharing allows students to internalize what they have learned and feel valued for their contributions to the learning process.

5. At the end of the lesson, the teacher can display students' creations in a visible location in the classroom to promote appreciation for everyone's work and to appreciate the diversity of artistic expressions. This exhibition of students' artwork also serves as a visual reminder of what was learned in class and as a stimulus for continued artistic exploration after class.

This return stage is essential to consolidate learning, evaluate the effectiveness of practical activities, and promote reflection and appreciation of students' learning experience.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. The teacher should begin the conclusion by summarizing and recapitulating the main points of the lesson. This may include a review of the different art forms, the materials and techniques used in artistic creation, and the importance of art as a personal expression and a means of communication. The teacher can ask students to recall some of the concepts and ideas discussed during the lesson, reinforcing learning.

2. Next, the teacher should explain how the lesson connected theory and practice. He can highlight how the practical activities allowed students to experiment with and concretely understand the concepts discussed in the theoretical part of the lesson. The teacher can also mention how the practical activities helped to demonstrate the applications of theoretical knowledge in artistic creation.

3. Afterwards, the teacher should suggest some additional materials for students to explore after class. This may include art books, documentaries about famous artists, art websites or apps, and visits to art galleries or museums. These suggestions should be appropriate for the students' level of understanding and interest, and can serve as an extension of classroom learning.

4. Finally, the teacher should emphasize the relevance of what was learned during the lesson to the students' everyday lives. He can mention how art can be a way to express emotions and ideas, to improve observation skills, and to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the world. In addition, the teacher can emphasize how the skills developed in artistic creation, such as creativity, problem solving, and cooperation, are useful in many areas of life.

5. The teacher should end the lesson by reaffirming the importance of artistic creation and encouraging students to continue exploring and experimenting with art outside of the classroom. He can remind students that each one of them is a potential artist and that art is a wonderful way to express oneself and to see the world from a new perspective.

The conclusion stage is important to consolidate learning, connect theory and practice, provide additional learning resources, and highlight the relevance and applicability of the lesson content. By concluding the lesson in a positive and encouraging way, the teacher can help motivate students to continue learning and exploring art.
