Ms. Durkin is an experienced graphic designer in her eigth year as a teacher. She generously shares her teaching ideas and experience. Learning to Draw learn-to-draw.net A visual literacy and creativity resource center. Rather then teaching student how to observe and draw things better, many drawing books and drawing teachers mistakenly teach drawing by showing students how things should look when they are drawn. On the The Shift page, Marc S. Lazard explains recent brain science and what has been found to be r-mode and l-mode ways that we learn. Lessons - reverse engineering the artistic process as innovation artbabble.org has a series of online videos by and about artists to be reverse engineered. Some of the artbabble videos set the stage for an inspiring culminating discussion AFTER students have invented and produced something similar to the artist's outcome. For an art teacher who may be feeling a bit burned out, watching one these videos may inspire a new approach to how art ideas are generated. When I "reverse engineer" another artist's creative process, I often come up with ways to start a lesson that can inspire students to think and create from their own experience, practice, imagine or observe without having to show them the work of the artist before they do their own artwork. I steal the thought process--not the look of the work. It helps me understand the spark used by the artist. If I understand the creative spark and how inspiration can work, it allows me to invent a way to ignite the imagination of students. After they have experienced similar inspiration and learned the mental process of invention (not copying something) from another artist by doing it with their own artwork, they could watch and connect with video and the artist's process. It would be a time to review the invention process and explain how reverse engineering works. Lessons - looking globally IDEO’s Ten Tips For Creating a 21st–Century Classroom Experience Use an “investigative-learning” curriculum to inspire students to be creative seekers of knowledge. New Zealand Art Teacher Resource Find lessons, links and inspiration for creativity in the classroom. Shinozaki Elementary VISUAL ARTS - See the work of school children in Japan. There is a great tradition of obersvational drawing and painting beginning in grade one in Japan. College students from Japan tell me that they spent three hours per week doing artwork when they were in grade 1 to 3. They also have assignments requiring imagination and working from memoires of experience. Ukita Elementary - This page from Japan shows observation drawing outings and sketches from Ukita Elementary, grades 1 to 6. In visiting college students from Japan, they tell me that they had about three hours per week for artwork during their first three years of elementary school. This is probably three times as much time as we allow for art learning in US schools. As you view the examples of school-child work, I try to imagine the attetnion span that has been fostered in the children who created the paintings. http://ukitasho.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ Art About Peace and the Vietnam Memorial.

Gude discusses art teaching traditions that leave students disillusioned because we are doing things that are no longer valid in today's society. "Reconsider your current curriculum. Try to see the portrait the curriculum paints of the world. If this portrait is not as interesting, complex, and contradictory as the world in which you live--analyze, edit, contextualize, and invent projects and fresh curricular approaches." Elementary Character Education developed by an elementary school counselor. This website has a unique purpose....
