Now process what you just saw and discuss the following questions at your table…

4.) How could we connect this activity to the elements and principles? (5 points)
We can connect this activity to the elements and principles by encouraging students to use
their different senses to see things in a different way. How one student sees something,
doesn’t mean that that’s the way that all students see it. We can also connect this activity to
looking at pieces of art that pertain to a different subject, bringing art into the classroom.
Instead of it just being for the art room.

5.) What kinds of follow up or next step activities could we do after something like this? (5
points)
Follow up or next step activities we could do after a lesson like this is to have students write
or draw what they saw or felt, possibly given a topic or two that they need to include to show
that they understand what was taught in the lesson. We could also ask if what we looked at
reminded them of something else or feeling they may have felt.

6.) Elementary Ed. how could this be used cross curricularly? Art Ed. how could this transfer
into a project? (5 points)
This could be used cross curricularly for example by if we are reading about Greek mythology.
We can look at the various art forms that show the different Gods/Goddesses and have a
discussion if the art matches what we read or if it is vastly different. We can also tie history in
by looking at art from that era or art that shows what happened. We can discuss history using
a visual.
