12/21 Dialogue with Students

Application:

Co-Constructor of knowledge

Learn from each other and that different perspectives exist

Shared Experiences: Help kids to connect and lend their lives to others and diff cultures

Museums have to become part of the art education  

If you are researching, one-on-one is best

Tell stories (Marion Richardson) 

Bank Street Luis Lorde  

Dewey - teach through discourse and dialogue


Questions:

- How do we engage students independently in a group setting? 

- Children's transitional dialogues that start to morph because they are noticing more or making connections, how can I be sure to capture those thoughts?

- How do we navigate challenging conversations in the art room?


Notes: 

Start with authentic questioning: 

What would you like to tell me about this...

Who do you think this is?

What kind of special place this is?

Problematize: 

Introduce conventional/important information, and do it in a way that fits and builds on their narrative. Never take their narrative away. 


*Acknowledge and confirm* when you are responding

You are constructing the knowledge with them! 

Create a transitional space where you all move together. Listen, show respect, and continue their stream of thinking.

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
