Art is more than a product... It is a process! Through choice-based art, students learn to value process as well as product.
Art At Home
In our art studio at school, we learn about artistic behaviors—coming up with ideas, setting up our workspace, learning new skills and reflecting on our work.
In our studio, the child is the artist and they make artistic choices about the materials they use and what they make. I am their facilitator and help guide when needed. They are familiar with these expectations and are intrinsically motivated to make and create independently. Provide them with time, space and art supplies and they will direct their own learning.
The following are ways you can support them in their art making and learning while they are home. Follow their lead and enjoy watching their creativity in action. Join in if you are able. It’s fun!
