PIERCE ONLINE VIRTUAL ART STUDIO
|
This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions for many! I empathize with my students as I know this has been a difficult transition to "Remote Learning". I know that as hard as teachers are working, learning at home has MANY challenges and can't replicate normal school. Amongst the many challenges, I am proud of what my students have been able to accomplish virtually, and staying connected has helped me stay sane through all of the unknowns.
It is my hope that many students are able to continue expressing their emotions/thoughts and reflections about our world right now. We know the Arts help us work through our fears, worries, hopes, and stresses and they are just as important now as they have ever been. The Arts also help us voice our opinions, ideas and the way we see the world. I encourage all my students to think about what would be meaningful for them at this point in time. Mindfulness art? Activist art? Art with a message? Theraputic Art? Please take a look at some of the options I have posted for this week.
Hi Everyone,
This week on my blog I am sharing a video for students to make their own "clay" or play-doh. The full lesson plan is posted in the K-2 section on the website. This recipe is great for any student to experiment with. Here is the basic recipe I used: Dry Ingredients: 1/2 cup flour 1/4 cup salt Wet Ingredients: 4.5 tablespoons warm water 1 tablespoon vegtable oil *Pour the wet into the dry & kneed together! Remember you might have to make slight adjustments if it is too dry or too wet. |
