There is a great deal of organization and details in the lesson Ms. Youngman shared with us. Organization is very important when it comes to the art teacher's career. Within the classroom organization is necessary to have art materials in order to execute the lesson in an orderly way with correct sequence for project set-up, making, and clean-up and to avoid utter chaos. Organization is vital to take assessment of the the work created by students. Details in planning work in tandem with organization to make the classroom sing. Unable to view the video of the class, I was able to understand the value of organization through the project Ms. Youngman provided.
I began my school year with my students with an introductory project base on Mr. Miro's work. In K-8 we talked about mindfulness, the subconscious mind, and abstract art. We practiced mindfulness and then went through an automatic drawing exercise. It was a great way to introduce mindfulness and to warm up students to art making. We used a variety of media, colored pencils, crayons, markers, and watercolors. Which was also an exercise in procedures, use of materials and clean-up of materials. The children embraced the "guided freedom" of an automatic drawing.
