Triptych - The Meaning of 3 of Us in One Element and More

The Triptych

Students need to work together towards one tell,

one element of unity, and 3 in one composition.

So the viewer looks from one panel to the next,

in order to come to terms with how the art speaks to them and

how they can appreciate three different artworks in one composition.

The colors of the three pieces of art keep the artwork interesting.

Students can alter the colors and transition within each of the pieces

during the making of the art

This way students are to:

Use an overhead projector, to outline the contour of their head/face (Siluet)

over poster papers (420mm x 297mm.)

Students write about their likes, challenges, happiness, or own events.

What makes one unique and amazing.

Looking closer at the story they choose meaningful colors

To then use the elements as lines or shapes permitting the expression of feelings

or meanings.

Students make connections using color, lines, shapes, and repetition to help and

unified the design.

Making connections create a way, and direction beginning and

ending of their story.

A Look at My Students Notes

A Look at my student's Notes This is a place where students pause, to attend, to perceive, and to explore. I used to grade with great care my student's notes. They let me see their presence, they showed they had discovered a new world a new way. Students already following a dream. They were not passive learners anymore, they open to the world thousand of possibilities were given consideration and more. A behavioral neuroscience study conducted by researchers at the University of California and Princeton University published in 2014 showed that students who take notes write thoughts, and sketch ideas by hand perform better with conceptual questions, and increased problem-solving, than other people who don’t record notes or sketch ideas. According to the study, one explanation for this exciting discovery is that writing, drawing, doodle with pencil and paper allows people to summarize...

Encounters with Understanding - Why Art inThe Classroom

The Crazy Little Bird - Student's work 1st Grade Students Shapes and Colors Encounters With Understanding The labor of a teaching artist is quite amazing, the feeling of accomplishment when observing students engaged and living the experience is unforgettable and indescribable. Those days when pupils rejoice in colors, the extravagance of imagination, and the exercise of creation within the arts, the science of making things for the pleasure of doing it and succeeding are full of un-measurable and accelerating happiness and satisfaction. The importance and the value here is that schools and their staff are in complete awareness of the gains and the significance of these quality experiences. Students are in need of this kind of support and understanding. Moreover, the project will bring great outcomes if everyone is part of the moment in our student’s history. That is why is essential and imperative that the administration, as well as faculty, a...

A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm up activity that will be suitable to every grade every student

A Preface to a Creative Line A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm-up activity that will be suitable for every grade and every student On many occasions, my students, when newly arrive at my classes, their feelings towards ‘art’ in general, are quite cold and almost hurtful, unkind, and sometimes unpleasant. Of course, with the exception of those students owning already have a heart for the arts. However, all those feelings are just based on unawareness, previous poor teaching, and very little or no exposure to the world of creativity and visual expression, the plastic (moldable) arts. In any different way in which my students arrive, quiet, loud, timid, short or tall, fast thinkers or slow takers, I welcome them all with the magic of the free line and colors; with the free form given by one energy and impulses. Activity: The Line of Thought Organize your space in a way students have a good free space in between each other. They...
