9/28 3rd Class "Emergence of Promo-Symbols" and "Sensory Logic"

I appreciated the conversation today about the shift in "naming" artwork. One of the students bought up that this is also a time where students use spiritual and/or soulful language which they use art as a way of expression. I am fascinated with the colors, lines, and shapes children use/make to express their subjects. Sometimes it is due to the choices they have which connects to Dewey's point on the idea of "free will" and how it isn't truly free because within each possibility of choice, there's still a selection. This makes me think about the power of audio and video. When I have case studies, I want to be able to see the before, during and after of my students' work time. I want to hear the rationale and decisions made. This also means that I need to be very thoughtful about who I pick and their accessibility to these devices and abilities. 



What is this a picture of?

A child laying in bed sick. The red to the left is her head. The red and yellow is her blanket. The black is the darkness. The red is her being sick. 


Sailboat on a cloudy, windy day. 

Carefully chose the half circle and cut the large shape at the bottom. This is a picture of Rome. The arch and columns.

10/19 "Early Concrete Observations" to "Later Concrete Observations"

Notice:  -within each category, there are more categories (operational thinking) -Erik Erikson (ideas on children's feelings) - when children are engaged in sensory motor phase, they undergo the issue of trust as it relates to people, places, and materials (or things) -when they move into operational phase (make images and command language) they seek autonomy (ie naming their work and telling stories) -doubt about art can relate to guilt in the world -language and visual skills connect -Interactive Events - students present how they relate to the world (affective center in the world) - depth direction movement viewpoint overlap (3rd dimension) We have to pay attention to each component and build their abilities for the larger sense of the 3rd dimension.  Application:  -At the operational phase, we must encourage where they are not name things as we see fit. Children want to please during this time. We must encourage their self-discovery.  - When children try to present the 3rd dime

10/12 "Emergence of Images in Relationships"

 Questions: How do we know what is "intentional" or dramatically emphasized without the child's story? Can you share any books or articles about student imagination that document the depth and brevity of imagination? Notes: Reflections of last week: Early Images reflect their language (ie mommy, daddy, my car, my house, etc..) Early images come out of the immediate images in their everyday lives. They enjoy making people because of the emotional factor (for most children).  Out of the early repertoire, me and my friend playing tennis: baseline, air, people, me Children will turn things around and upside down in order to respect the visual representation of the objects.  Good art teaching will result in a student accepting "mistakes" or showcasing a creative response to unexpected events (ie what happens when art doesn't do what we want it to do?) Perceptual capacities to see from different viewpoints as if its in one continuous space (we see things in the im
