Lesson Objectives:
Content Objectives: Students will apply knowledge of ordered pairs, the coordinate plane, and create portraits using the coordinate plane.
SIOP Objectives: Students will create two coordinate planes of different sizes and create works of art using the framework created by the coordinate plane.
Thinking Skills: Judge with Criteria, Defend, Proof of Evidence
Depth & Complexity: Patterns and Rules
Resource(s): Photographs that can be drawn on

Procedure:
Step 1: Draw the y and x axis with your ruler. Be sure to divide the picture evenly. Note the center of the figure. Is the figure off center? Unbalance is ideal as it creates a more interesting work.
Step 2: Grid the line on the y and x axis with a pencil. Unless your picture is square there will be more lines on either the y or x axis. Most likely there will be more lines on the y axis as is typical of portrait style (landscape style is opposite-think hotdog:portrait as hamburger:landscape.) Just focus on keeping the negative and positive sides equal. Make sure an even amount of space is used between each point. Try to keep the number of squares created between 16 and 40 if at all possible.
Step 3: Use pencil to draw the same grid on a larger scale on poster paper. (Your photograph needs to be about 1/4th the size of the poster portrait paper that way the grid will be doubled.)
Step 4: Use the coordinate grid to draw corresponding squares from the original photo to corresponding squares on the students poster board. Take it one square at a time.
Step 5: Color! Don’t forget to color your skin. No one is the color of the paper.
Assessment: Students will be graded based on a rubric
20 points for the printed picture grid. How well was the grid represented on the photograph?
20 points for the drawn picture grid. How well was the grid represented on the poster?
20 points for attempts at drawing square by square. Did the student complete their drawing?
20 points for color. Did the student color the whole picture? Did the student color their skin or leave it plain?
20 points for accuracy. How well did the student match up the squares in the photograph and the squares on the poster?
