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.

9/21 2nd Class "Presymbolic Development"

3 Milestone Understandings: #1 Paper/Clay is a target for action #2 Surfaces of paper/clay can be thought about as divisible #3 Surfaces have properties of continuity (within boundaries) As a consequence of repertoire, it builds within us a knowledge and skill to support our later artistic abilities. It is the educator's responsibility to give students opportunities to explore, exposure to cultural brevity of art, and resources.  Make a place where there was no place before Purposefully make a line to meet itself. Put something inside and outside. Art-Scientific Method (how to ask/prompt questions for stimulating their interests and make them own the decision-making and purpose/intention of their piece?) Tell me about your work. Tell me more. If you were to think about it in a different way, what would it be like? Flow-chart of developing questions: UC Davis Explorations
