Most recent recommendation first. . .
I have gained a lot from the workshop and I will try to be specific about its
benefits. I now have numerous ideas for lesson plans using a variety of
materials which relate to theme, age, integration of subjects, ones that focus
on the elements and standards of art, intergenerational art projects, and ones
that are take-offs from a particular artist's style. I also have access to links
which provide free patterns and I can take virtual tours of exhibits from links
which you provided. I now know that I can borrow free
dvds from National Gallery of Art so that I can provide students with visual
information about artists and styles of art. It was valuable to learn about
classroom organization and the safety of art materials. As a result of this
class my growth as a potential art instructor, as well as my own personal growth
as an artist, has been tremendous! And yes, I would recommend this class to
anyone who teaches art to children!!
I have broadened my perspective on teaching, and gotten a lot of ideas on how to reach children. I would recommend the course to my coworkers. It would be good for further professional development.
It has
been great to share ideas with others and gain new information that I
can use in my art classes. The websites are extremely helpful, and I am
glad to add those to my resources. I am looking forward to using the
format for looking at a work of art to encourage my students to really
look at a work of art in a whole new way. There are many questions to
choose from that will provide prompts for students when writing about
art. I like the ideas for integrating art with other content areas. This appeals to a variety of learning styles and strengthens skills students can use across the curriculum and throughout their lives. I plan to use the resources from this workshop to incorporate more lessons that connect to other subjects. I've enjoyed making some of the projects and will be able to use those as examples when I teach the lessons. I am especially excited about the ideas for planning a year of art. I like the thought of planning the whole year and knowing what objectives the students will be working toward. This will help when I order supplies and will help me coordinate the lessons with the different grade levels. I have thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you very much for this opportunity. I would recommend this course to classroom teachers, since they so often have the opportunity to add some hands on learning to the lesson. I would also recommend this class to art teachers as a review. Whether you are an experienced art teacher or have no prior art experience, this workshop is for you. No prior art experience is necessary. This is a workshop for public, private, and homeschool teachers-or anyone who works with children's groups and need art projects ideas and advice.
