Things got moving way too fast and before I knew it I was head over heels with making. Oh the possibilities for what I could do in art class with my students. I decided since I was so new to making I needed a portfolio of projects I felt comfortable to teach to my students. My biggest take away on all of the work was feeling so like a student; overwhelmed, excited, frustrated, successful, determined and proud.
I quickly discovered my art sensibilities coming through with each project. I realized I didn't like electronic things showing through in the art, I liked having more control over how to control the power sources by hiding them, adding switches, etc.
I need to add more to the final presentation, like the curriculum connections, a rubric, etc. I am not certain which grade levels I will be working with, but I have been pouring over the new national art standards, as well as NGSS and ITSE. There are so many connections that I have found already and I can see so many art integration connections to these STEAM lessons to tie in literacy as well. I met with my district librarians to brainstorm maker space ideas in our schools and I am set to collaborate with two of the librarians in the two schools I teach at.
I have marked so many pages in the Invent to Learn book and I just keep making connections, being prompted to try new things and how to avoid things. More on the book later....
I thought the slide show is something I can use with students to introduce concepts and help them fall in love with making as quickly as I did!
Check out the slideshow.
