Creating a unit lesson plan has taught me how much work goes into creating a lesson plan. Before I didn't know anything about the National Visual Art Standards, figuring out how to improve the lesson to be more accessible and to work with all types of students. I finished this project with a better understanding of how much information and material is collect for one unit. I also learned more about album covers which increase my interest in the project and make me more motivated to share the information and see others' interpretations of the assignment.
