Week 7 Reflection

Blog Week 7 


1. What could be your steps (maybe 3 or 4) to introduce children to different artists and specific art elements such as color, style, form, and content? (You can choose a level between PreK-G4)


There are many steps you can use to introduce children to different artists and specific elements such as color style form and content. You could use what we did in class with the parody art and make it something relatable to the children's lives, like a tv show or to animals or pets, to show important art pieces which could then lead into discussions about those artists and their history. This would be more for older students but some other ideas to engage younger students could be for color. You could do a color week and you focus on a new color everyday. Have the students find objects with that color or have them wear that color that day. For students who aren't super advanced and not beginners, you could use start to incorporate art and paint and do experiments with different colored paints to see how you can make different colors with just the primary colors. 



2. Explain your parody artwork. Include your artwork evidence (e.g., photos, drawings, video, etc.) along with your written narrative on what & how you did it.


For my parody art, I used Van Gogh's Sunflower painting and found a picture of the solar system and used the 11 planets and 11 flowers in the pot to represent the solar system.

I didnt finish in class but here is the picture of the sketch I completed in class.

3. Tell me about how this week's activities impacted you? 


This weeks a activities impacted me in a very positive way. I used to take a lot of art classes in high school and it was nice to be able to do that again. I also think this is a very affective unit for students at a young age because art and color is something we use and see almost everyday in our lives.

    im actually in love with your color week idea that is so smart and effective!! you could do the primary colors first then go into the secondary colors and have them bring in items that make up that color as well. like if it was green they can bring in a blue, yellow, and green item that day! i also love your parody art! so pretty

Week 10 Blog

  Emma Stankovic  Week 10 Blog  Creative Expression  (1)  I think getting to create your own story is very beneficial because you get to use your imagination and your ideas to create a story. You get to be more creative and go in whatever direction you please. However, using the AI to assist writing a story was very helpful when you hit a road block or need to add more context or ideas. I think when using the AI to assist, the story isn't as detailed so you do have to add your own details.  (2) You can use these Ai programs for so many reasons. The first way you could use the AI is to help with lesson plans and to give ideas for an activity or lesson plan. You could also use them to help you build problems for a test such as math or questions on a reading exam. You could also use it with your students to have them tell the students jokes at the start of class, or to have them learn new fun facts. However I dont think that students should have access to AI a...

Week 6 Reflection

  For week 6 we made our food art... For my food art I made an aquarium out of cheeze-its, fruit loops, popcorn, and goldfish, and for the butterfly I used apples, cheeze-its, fruit loops, and popcorn. These types of activities affect the development of children by teaching them how to recycle and to use their creative skills. It also could develop patience and resilience if someone messes up or fails. You could use this activity in your curriculum for may lessons. You could use them for lessons on recycling, nutrition, and science.  Next, we went to the Maltby center to look at the art gallery and museum.    There was two pieces of art that stood out to me at the gallery. The first one was the picture of the old car and tree that when you walked side to side, it shifted from being an old tree to a new tree and an old car to a newer car. I don't remember who made the painting, but it was very cool. The second one I found very interesting was the one with the hands an...

Week 4 Reflection

Emma Stankovic  Reflection-  This week we talked about the importance of music in the classroom. We watched videos from “the sound of music” as examples of ways to get music into the classrooms. We then did an activity with our tables where we had to create the perfect classroom set up to involve music. In our classroom we had a projector for music videos, a music library, and carpet seating with instruments. We then had to come up with a way to add culture into our music classroom. My table came up with the idea to learn a new song once a month for a different culture. After we made the posters we did a gallery walk which was very helpful to be able to hear everyone else's feedback and ideas.  We also watched a video on how a teacher got students to use music and rocks from our last lesson all to create a story with meaning. Artwork- Questions- How might these types of activities affect the learning and development of children?  These activities affect the learning ...
