 * 3 Week Overview of Lesson Structure.**


 * Lesson One**

The first lesson is an introductory lesson to the art form of Photomontage. The students will initially be introduced to the history and context of Photomontage and be asked to undertake a internet image search and save at least 5 different examples of Montage from various websites.

The students will then be asked to create a slideshow of their saved montage images using the website SLIDE.com. The students will also be required to write a definition of Photomontage and submit their work at the end of the lesson into the shared Arts drive for assessment. The students are to work individually but are able to share their slideshows with their nearest neighbour towards the end of the lesson.

Students are reminded that they will need to choose an issue in society for work on their own Photomontage next week.


 * Lesson Two**

In the second lesson students are required to have decided on their chosen issue in society. Students are then asked to search and save appropriate images connected to their issue for use in their own Photomontage.

The class is then reintroduced to Adobe Photoshop through an onscreen live tutorial by the teacher explaining the basics of placing images, using layers, cropping and resizing. Students are then able to make a start on their Photomontages attempting to create the basic composition. All Photoshop files and images are to be saved in the shared Arts drive for assessment.

Students are reminded that they will be finishing and printing their montages in the next lesson. They will also be told that they will undertake a peer evaluation where they will critique each others montages.


 * Lesson Three**

In the final lesson students are given a further 20 minutes to finish their artworks on the computer. Students are then required to print their artworks out on photopaper using the computer rooms printer. To finish all students are to swap their montage with a peer to where they will critique their peer's artwork answering questions from a handout.

Finally all final artworks and critiques are to be submitted for assessment at the end of lesson.
