Studio- Artists Choice
I thoroughly enjoyed this unit because each studio was a completely different type of celebration. For the for studio in finger puppets, we all had so much fun with it. We got to pick something we wanted to celebrate, and I think many of us chose individuality and uniqueness as we all made finger puppets of different things. This is something I could definitely incorporate into the classroom in a wide range of ways. Like we said in the popplet presentation, we could incorporate science to measure out the clay and actually make our own. We could then use it for art projects or use it to represent other cultures. It's important to see all the ways we can incorporate something, and in all the different ways we can interpret things As Pink (2005) says, "People who hope to thrive in the Conceptual Age must understand the connections between diverse, and seemingly separate, disciplines". This is definitely one of the celebration units where you have to look at the different disciplines it applies to. For the second studio, I chose to represent something that is even a new tradition in my family. As being the first person in my family to go to a university, Tailgating is a celebration I have had the privilege to experience. And something I want to share with my future children. In all its represents a lot to me being a Tiger. Although my studio didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, it was my first try at graphic design. I think this is something I could definitely incorporate into the classroom for various projects and presentations. The third studio was a choice one, and I used this to represent my lesson plan. It has the recycle plan because my studio was about making a difference and change. I used this studio to build a picture of what the project would look like and what it would tell people about us. According to Bang (1991), " We see pictures as extensions of reality" (p.60). I think it's important for students to have their goals portrayed in art or pictures so that others around them can see it and that they themselves have a reminder of the good they have done. This is something I want to incorporate into my classroom hence my lesson plan.
