RE: Fnally my reply! Part 2

By the time I get home from school, well, I just have no time for anything.The resettling has eaten up a lot time, but the 1 thing going extra well is how great my students are! I have never had such an eager group of students in all my 20 years! I knock on wood everyday- hope th, project to be! Those are great words to hear! [I found out later, he had a rough year last year, – so even more encouraging!] The new space we teach in is so peaceful, especially in the morning with all the sun pouring in through the wall of windows! Great space to create in! So speaking of creating, what have we been up to in IB Art? Let me list… -In their IWB- -What is your culture? Music collage & glazing techniques -Analogies of emotion/ Express two opposing emotions and investigate two artists whose work emulate that emotion -The Humument Tom Phillips treating pages of words into an visual work of art[We had read the book & viewed the film “The Girl w/ a Pearl Earring” I gave them a page from the book to emulate a page like Tom Philips style in The Humument. Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain- developing the students perceptual abilities as recommended by IB examiners. Lots of drawing ! Students’ studio projects have included – -a watercolor landscape in the style of Charles Burchfield. -analog painting – taken from their IWB entry. I have about six students who are “onto something.” I am now directing students individually to pursue a particular artist or movement for further investigation that will help them build upon their idea or imagery they have so far developed. I worry about a few who still need me to hold their hands. How's my pacing? Any suggestions? [I feel I need to increase their pace and I plan on giving them more specifics ideas to pursue –even during any breaks they may have. |

The cutting and pasting I did in Post # 2 is missing the quote from my student...Here it is once more... By the time I get home from school, well, I just have no time for anything else. The resettling has eaten up so much time, but the one thing going extremely well is how wonderful my students are! I have never had such an eager group of students in all my 20 years of teaching! I knock on wood everyday- hope to keep them there in that state of mind. One Studio in Art student said on two ocassions , “how relaxing” he found our watercolor project to be! Those are great comments to hear! [I found out later, that this student had a very rough year last year, in his freshmen year – so even more encouraging!] |
