| This six-part method offers consistency in the learning process and results in confident, creative children. Each class offers art-historical context gives students an awareness of artistic tradition while offering inspiration that adds meaning to their own work. Art vocabulary reinforces the proper art terms, brainstorming gives the students an opportunity to learn to use the new vocabulary while discussing thier ideas and projects. Demonstrations of materials and some suggested techniques motivate students to experiment with thier own ideas during the hands on artmaking part of the lesson. Students spend the majority of each class making art and exploring the possibilities of their own creative choices. Lessons end with students "appreciating" each others work using positive phrases like "I see..." and "I notice...". They share observations about their own work and the work of others in their group with consideration and respect. This builds students' confidence in expressing themselves verbally and communicating in a positive way. Every student will have the opportunity and be encouraged to exhibit a work of art at a public venue. These are very meaningful events for students, giving them lasting confidence in their abilities. |
