Welcome to Art & Activity! Art can be a powerful catalyst for building skills and understanding across a wide range of subjects. In this module, we'll lay some of the groundwork that will prepare you for the rest of the course.
In this module, we’re moving from theory to practice with videos that discuss drawing, sound, movement, writing, and game-based activities for building skills in analysis and reflection. Through demonstrations, descriptions, and lesson ideas, you'll discover some of the ways that activities empower students to look closely and think deeply about works of art, while also making personal connections to their own lives.
In Module 3, you'll discover lessons and activities that appeal to various types of learners and nurture your students' creativity, imagination, and empathy. We will continue moving from theory to practice with videos and readings that discuss drawing, sound, movement, writing, discussion, and design thinking activities.
In this module, you’ll shift focus from activities to assessments. The two videos address self-assessment for you as the facilitator and assessing student work. Additionally, you’ll gain access to resources you can consult and adapt for your assessments.
