Thoughts on Arting

Making the artists of the future, one learning experience at a time. 

Communicate

We all have units that are our favorite. Here's my current - Artists Communicate. I do versions of this unit with my Art 1 and Art 2 classes. For the summative project Art 1 focuses  on the self, interpreting the theme of identity (more on this next week) while I ask Art 2 to make art centered around current issues.

This project is full media choice with a very open  and challenging theme. At this point in the school year my students are comfortable with open-ended tasks and tackling big ideas with them is SO MUCH FUN.  I love seeing how their personal opinions merge with their developing style as they create. The "I don't know if I can do this" that I see early in the semester is replaced with a thoughtful "what can I do here?"

This image of the state of North Carolina was created with supplies that equaled the cost of per pupil spending on education.

These artworks are all awesome! I just had the chance to go back over my favorites from Sunday night's #TABchat and look at this post. You really inspire me to get my students to THINK about what they want to say. Thank you.

    I'm interested in creating a student student centered space  for my high school students through choice and abundant opportunity for self expression. I'm also a writer for SchoolArts co-author of  The Open Art Room.
