Mrs. Abbas’ Art Room
The blog of a teaching artist.
10/28/2017 0 Comments October 14, 2017: Only One YouThis week in workshops, I played the role of a classroom assistant while another teacher led the instruction. She began the class by reading Only One You by Linda Kranz, which is a story about a mother and father sharing wisdom they have acquired through the years with their songs guide him through his exploration of the world. After the book was read, a short talk was held about how each person is their own unique individual. Then the project was introduced, and the students began to brainstorm about how they would make their self-portrait. A quick “field trip” to another classroom took place to view elements and principles of art posters. The teacher led a discussion about how the elements and principles are used in art-making, and she encouraged the students to choose a couple to focus on in their self-portrait. |
AuthorI am a teaching artist learning as I go. I am passionate about art and people, and I am excited to be on this educational journey. The purpose of this blog is to share my struggles, successes, and everything in between as I learn to navigate writing curriculum, managing a classroom, and building relationships. Archives
