Lesson 7: Developing an Activity Plan

Activity Plan
- is a detailed outline used by teachers or instructors to guide a specific learning
activity. It includes a set of structured steps that detail what will happen during
the activity, the goals or learning objectives, the materials needed, the process,
and how learning will be assessed. Activity plans are designed to ensure that
students achieve specific skills or knowledge through hands-on or experiential
learning.

Components of Activity Plan for Visual Arts

a. Content Standard
o This standard includes how students will demonstrate understanding of
concepts in the cognitive domain.

b. Performance Standard
o This standard includes the specific tasks and activities that the students
are expected to accomplish in class.

c. Learning Competencies
o These are the learning standards that include specific tasks and activities
that the students are expected to accomplish in class.

II. Content
o This include key concepts, theories, and principles that are taught and
learned in specific academic courses. It may also indicate themes or
subject content areas integrated in the art class.

Learning Resources
o are tools, materials, and content used by educators to support, enrich, and
facilitate learning.

III. Preparation
o Preparation outlines everything that must be in place for the activity to run
smoothly. It includes the materials needed, logistical considerations, and
classroom management strategies.

a. Student Materials
o This is a list of all materials, resources, and supplies required for students
to complete the activity, such as art supplies, handouts, or digital tools.

b. Logistics
 o This describes the classroom setup. It details those necessary
arrangements, such as seating arrangements, equipment setup, or
organizing the room to facilitate the activity effectively.

c. Classroom Management
o This describes the Art Management System to be implemented in the
classroom. This may include rules for handling materials, movement within
the room, or time management.

IV. Procedure
- The detailed process of teaching and learning in the class.

a. Pre-activity
o A warm-up or introductory activity to engage and help students to recall
previous concepts, techniques, or past experiences and insights. Works
from the previous activity can also be showcased. This is important if the
current lesson requires prerequisites skills learned from the previous
lesson, especially if it involves technical skills.

1. Engagement
 This section encompasses strategies and activities that capture
students' interest, encourage their curiosity, and motivate them to
participate enthusiastically in the art lesson.

b. Lesson Proper
o The main instructional portion where new content or skills are presented.
This section often includes demonstrations, explanations, or direct
teaching.

c. Guided Practice
1. Exploration
 This is the initial phase of art creation. Students are allowed to
make mistakes. The teacher can observe, roam around, and give
individualized feedback and encouragement.

d. Independent Practice
1. Creation
 This is the part where students will apply what they have learned by
creating an artwork based on the learning competencies. Students
work independently as this will be the basis for assessment.

V. Art Appreciation
o Opportunity for students to express themselves, reflect, discuss, and
appreciate each other’s work.

a. Self-Expression
1. Expression and Reflection
 Encourages students to express their individual creativity,
perspectives, and emotions through their work. This aspect is
crucial in art activities to build confidence and personal connection
to the work.
 b. Appreciation
 Guides students to appreciate not only their own creations but also
those of their peers, and recognize the diversity of expression and
technique.

VI. Assessment
o This part describes the methods and tools the teacher will use to measure
student learning.

VII. Post-Activity
a. Assignment
o Follow up tasks or preparation for the next activity.
