Art/Absolving Fear of Art

Game: Best done in Calder exhibition, pairs of students will use sharpies and big pads to play Art for the Blind. Partner I turns back to something of interest (still life, window, a room). Partner II describes the scene or item in detail for partner I to draw. Descriptive details fill the page. Partners switch.

The Process of Learning Critique Constructively: Each artist picks three peers to reflect upon their artwork. Rules: must be kind, constructive, and helpful. When should you use a different color? Why? Is he or she showing depth in a new amazing way? How? Tell what you like about your peers work and why. Project serves to help students give their peers valuable feed back and learn to critique (not slam).

Science and Art or Geography: Create your own endangered species on colored cardboard. (maybe from a specific geographic region?) Write five facts that you have researched on your animal. Then as a class construct a mobile of endangered species!
