Course goal: The artist habits of mind

Throughout Artistic Explorations we will look to create "Artist Habits of Mind". In addition to creating engaging art projects, we aim to create a type of student: the artist. Everything we do will center around developing one of these key characteristics. Click the link below to find out more. 

Artists Habits of Mind 

Cultural Tea Bowls

Students will design and create a set of tea bowls that reflect a culture or personal interest. The world of Avatar the Last Airbender will serve as a starting point for inspiration. One day will be used to design and construct the tea bowl, and there will be another change to glaze and/or paint.  

The Flying City Project

We will be designing a 'flying' city for this STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) project. We will be working in groups to create a thematic city. The project will be completed over two sessions to plan, design, and create. We will also be utilizing the engineering process to ensure our project can 'fly'. 

My Family Museum

For our final project, and time permitting, we will create a tiny exhibit in our Tiny Museum about our family. We will discuss different aspects of what makes a family, and practice proportions and portrature.   

TBD

Virtual Showcase

Students will complete, discuss, and present their artistic explorations. 

Take some time to plan your thinking and responses to these questions.   Use note paper or a journal to think about and answer the following Learning Walk questions:

·         What was the coolest thing you learned?  

·         What did you create or accomplish that you are most proud of?  

·         What curiosity did this learning spark in you?  

·         What do you now want to learn more about?

ASSIGNMENT:   Create a Learning Walk presentation that answers these questions in any format of your choosing.  You can record a video, write an essay, create a presentation, or even a learning flyer!  Be creative in your presentation.  When finished, please upload your presentation to Google Classroom (slides, art, or document).  

If you choose to record a video, you may use this following Flip Grid link:  https://flipgrid.com/fee9ab05

·         Students may create a slides presentation, a written essay or short answer response, a flyer or brochure, a collage or scrapbook, or   even a video presentation they record to FlipGrid

·         Students should be guided through this assignment and should upload to Google Classroom their final product.

·         When completed, students should mark the assignment as complete in Google Classroom
