In
this week’s art lecture we were given some great pointers as to how we should
construct and create a visual arts lesson plan. We learnt about the
teaching/learning process, which has three steps: 1/ Exploring (Experimenting), 2/
Developing (Making) and 3/ Reflecting (Studying). I feel that all steps are
very important to include in potential lessons but I want to ensure that I
allow for sufficient time for reflection in my arts lessons.
We
were given a concrete example of these steps in action, which I found helpful.
A
teaching and learning process for visual arts
1. Exploring – show them a
segment of a doco or film on turtles, maybe bring a turtle into class, read a
story about a turtle, sing a song about a turtle, we could be turtles (drama)
How do I get them enthused? Time to experiment and play with new materials –
Don’t just brainstorm its lazy!
2. Developing – making the
artwork
3. Reflecting – an
opportunity to evaluate their work/work of others, time to appreciate – maybe a
little written reflection
In
this weeks tutorial we used our sketched portraits from last week to create
painted cubist portraits. Firstly we cut our portrait up into four pieces and
wrote the two colours that we wanted our portrait to be painted on the back of
each segment. We swapped the segments of our portrait with our classmates and
proceeded to paint the pieces in whatever colours were indicated. We were
encouraged to not only use paintbrushes but to experiment with a wide range of
tools such as tootbrushes, forks, sponges, rollers etc to create a variety of
interesting effects.
