  • thelmagrace Aug 16 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A1. Our district cureiculum ia so vague that I have our put together a yearly outline of projects for each grade with lessons, COT routines , VTS, art history and culture from around the world and it usually ties into at least one core subject of not full STEAM #k12artchat
  • GrundlerArt - Moderator Aug 16 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat i love that this chat is PreK and Up!!!
  • TaylorABeam Aug 16 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A1: I LOVE curriculum design/planning. Like, can totally nerd out. Want to talk about it, let’s get a cup of coffee and just brainstorm all of the things. PBL, Inquiry driven, student choice and technology are a few of my favorite things to keep in mind! #k12artchat

  • thelmagrace Aug 16 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A1 i try to scaffold projects by medium, ie weaving, painting, clay and such with building on knowledge with more new info each year so Ss build on their skills, techniques and craftsmanship #k12artchat

    Jayne from Pittsburgh coming in after first day back at school #K12ArtChat
  • MsBreKArt Aug 16 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A1: I have had the luxury (and sometimes panic) of planning my k12 curriculum. I start my year off with interest surveys to see what the kids want to explore most and try to hit those points during the year. Tying in standards and benchmarks fits in beautifully #K12ArtChat
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Aug 16 @ 9:41 PM EDT

  • ELAwithMrs_J Aug 16 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A2: Curriculum planning is important to me b/c every year needs to be a bit different. The needs, interests, and abilities of Ss varies so much from year to year and from class to class. #k12artchat
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Aug 16 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    Good to see you here tonight! #K12ArtChat

  • ClarkPris Aug 16 @ 9:44 PM EDT
  • McGeeKelley Aug 16 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A2 It is everything that we do! Without the planning and organization we would not be able to do it all, and ensure learning takes place. #k12artchat
  • kjohnson2009 Aug 16 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A2- Planning helps me remember that I don't have to try all my crazy ideas at once. I can see where ideas, new techniques, etc could be integrated. #K12ArtChat
  • jamie_wardley Aug 16 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    #k12artchat a2 Planning is essential! I feel like I never stop planning, reflecting and researching lessons and ideas
  • joycschultz Aug 16 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat I think it’s important to move the curriculum along with your students development. As #choiceart moved in, changes happened every where. Exciting to move the challenges up a few notches.
  • thelmagrace Aug 16 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2. I like having my binders of lessons. It helps me organize and plan for supplies but being organized also allows for change within the lessons as needed so Ss can be creative. I can add and delete projects as needed too #k12artchat
  • TaylorABeam Aug 16 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: Planning is a key component to our classrooms - it ensures we are providing the best and most relevant experience for our students. I try to change things a bit each year - planning a responsive curriculum to meet my students needs is a huge priority for me! #k12artchat
  • leeack080969 Aug 16 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    Q5: Constantly using the same vocabulary. Repeatedly defining words, then back off the definition as they get it. #k12artchat
  • raybournartroom Aug 16 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat A1 started writing curriculum in museums back in my old life, now I love having opportunities to contribute to my districts aligned curriculum each year

    A2: BC it helps you to have a purpose or order. other wise you are just wondering doing random things. #K12artChat
  • MiniMatisse Aug 16 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A2: curriculum helps me with a guideline and a focus. I love looking at the scaffolding across grade levels and making sure the building blocks are there thoughout my S Art experience. #K12artchat
    In reply to @GrundlerArt
  • MsBreKArt Aug 16 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A2: it gives my students and I the opportunity to explore our interests WHILE learning new techniques and skills. And being honest... it gives me a feeling of control over pacing and planning. At my first school it was intense to start from little, but now it is key #K12ArtChat
  • smARTisteacher Aug 16 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    Arlene here from Texas. Jumping in for a bit. #k12ArtChat
  • jayneesweet Aug 16 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    We all write are own, so I change as I feel necessary. #K12artchat
  • timneedles - Moderator Aug 16 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A2 It’s essential to make sure your curriculum is current & impactful because it’s the core element of education, you want to help students enter the real world prepared & aware of what’s out there! #K12ArtCHat
  • GrundlerArt - Moderator Aug 16 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A2: Linking the standards to enduring understandings first to consider what students need to learn then figure out how to get the students there #K12ArtChat
  • MattCockrellArt Aug 16 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A2- Curriculum planning is important for Me so that I have a plan in place, although I typically ‘pencil things in/ erase things out’. I’m Always REFLECTING, REFLECTING, REFLECTING, trying to make more Memorable/ Engaging/ Real World Projects #K12ArtChat

    Good to see you again! #K12ArtChat
    In reply to @jamie_wardley
  • raybournartroom Aug 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat A2 did anyone every read “the first days of school” in college? It’s still rings in my head! the phrase... if you fail to plan your planning to fail! Curriculum keeps us on task accountable for our learning!
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Aug 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    Thanks for joining us tonight! #K12ArtChat
    In reply to @lhs_ART
  • ClarkPris Aug 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    #K12artchat A2: bc you can plan, prepare, assess, and revise as you go. Your Lessons will be meaningful to the students and it’ll promotes the students’ success.
  • joycschultz Aug 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat using GoogleGdrive has been helpful to move and maintain curriculum and to gather data.
  • ELAwithMrs_J Aug 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A3: I know what standards and skills I want my Ss to master. Then I start thinking about student choice and how Ss could show me those things in different ways using different tools and what activities could help lead up to that. #k12artchat
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Aug 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT

  • joycschultz Aug 16 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat A3 I always plan with the end in mind. My icebreakers are set up for this purpose. I know I want that “AHa!!” Moment!!
  • TaylorABeam Aug 16 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: With a goal in mind, you can find multiple paths to get there! One size does not fit all - keeping the end in mind provides an avenue for individualizing the experience for each student. #K12ArtChat
  • McGeeKelley Aug 16 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A2 Our district curriculum looks at the grade level standards and needed knowledge and skills first, then explores how we will assess, and then ends with the actual learning plan. The end result must come first. #K12ArtChat
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Aug 16 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    You got a big shout out from @GrundlerArt and your art jobs. #K12ArtChat
    In reply to @chepayne, @GrundlerArt
  • MiniMatisse Aug 16 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: I totally use backwards design in a traditional sence, but I also feel that visual Art teachers is BWD by fining an Artist/Artwork and work backwards to make it fit standards. #k12ArtChat

    Q3/A3 I usually have one big finale project in mind. I use backward planning to make sure all components are taught beforehand #k12artchat
  • smARTisteacher Aug 16 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    It is essential to plan out your curriculum making sure you cover a broad range of necessary knowledge, skills and behaviors. #K12ArtChat
  • lhs_ART Aug 16 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    Harry Wong! Great summary quote #k12artchat
    In reply to @raybournartroom
  • MsBreKArt Aug 16 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A3: i rely on Benchmark outlines and standards for my elementary kids to plan lessons and activities. I work hard to reflect and plan engaging (hopefully yes?!) lessons for my k-6 students. The destination becomes less important than the journey and processes. #K12ArtChat
  • raybournartroom Aug 16 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A3 backwards planning works best for me when tweaking lessons... start with why! #K12ArtChat
  • lhs_ART Aug 16 @ 9:55 PM EDT

  • thelmagrace Aug 16 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A3. Yes. I often get ideas and build backwards. #k12artchat
  • McGeeKelley Aug 16 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    Q4 How do you use contemporary artists to enhance your curriculum? #K12ArtChat
  • MattCockrellArt Aug 16 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    A3-When I plan with the End in Mind, I always think of What I want my students to learn that will be Impactful to Them, To Our School and to Our Community #K12ArtChat getting my students Understand the End in Mind, which gives them ownership of their own learning
  • ClarkPris Aug 16 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    #K12artchat A3: it promotes curiosity and critical thinking skills.

  • jayneesweet Aug 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    I’m always coming up with new ideas; then the museum has an exhibit and I can change course again.#K12artchat
    In reply to @jamie_wardley
  • smARTisteacher Aug 16 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    I’ve never seen a true art curriculum. I do mine all on my own without much training so I just do what works best for me & my students. #k12ArtChat
  • timneedles - Moderator Aug 16 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A4 I add new contemporary #artists & fresh art works by classic artists into my curriculum each year, I actively visits galleries, #creative events & museums in NY so I regularly see inspiring new #art that I think students might relate to & learn from! #K12ArtChat
  • McGeeKelley Aug 16 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A4 I use contemporary artists through sketchbook artists of the day with 3-5, and art yoga movements (art-aerobics) K-2. #K12ArtChat
  • joycschultz Aug 16 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    #k12ArtChat A4 if you are a #ChoiceArt educator contemporary art happens because it’s relevant to the students. I scaffold and insert additional artists to challenge and engage my students.
  • kjohnson2009 Aug 16 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    A4- I want to get better at incorporating artists. I run short on time and don't highlight contemporary artists like I could. #halfdaygoesbyfast #K12ArtChat
  • chepayne Aug 16 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    A3 backwards is best for me. I struggle with any sometimes, but having a completed piece i can reflect on why I did it. Big ideas come flowing then. #K12ArtChat
  • jayneesweet Aug 16 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    A2 I always heard , fail to plan - plan to fail. #K12artchat
  • MsBreKArt Aug 16 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    A4: Well. Frankly I get tired of teaching about old dead dudes. I find contemporary influences through my students, community, this lovely website, conferences, gallery haunting, my PLC.. I work in a new district so I have all new influences ahead of me. #K12ArtChat
  • ArtWithMrE Aug 16 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    #k12artchat used Jason Woodside for my collaboration painting the first week of school! KIDS LOVED IT!!!
  • ELAwithMrs_J Aug 16 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    A4: Not sure... but do any of you know good websites that feature contemporary artists? I have my Ss do research and biographies & it might be something to try out! #k12artchat
  • MiniMatisse Aug 16 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    #k12artchat, I have been visiting Wausau, WI today w/ the family (where the @WIARTEDUASSOC conference is this year) & we went to the @WoodsonArt. I was introduced to Federico Uribe Artwork & will totally find a place in my curriculum for him to isnpire my students this year!
  • DarleneKayJohn1 Aug 16 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    Q4/A4 I try to introduce both a Master and Modern artist with each lesson. Ss get to compare/contrast their work and discuss how techniques/methods vary. It's lead to some very provoking questions and statements #k12artchat
  • McGeeKelley Aug 16 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    Q5 How do you build student’s skills in talking about art throughout the year? #K12ArtChat
  • EduGladiators Aug 16 @ 10:03 PM EDT

  • ClarkPris Aug 16 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    #K12artchat A4: I try to make connections to the real world by discussing the contemporary artworks and the artists. Discussing about the different perspective, provocative voice via visual art, and thinking outside box as an individual.

    A4- When using a contemp. artist, we Always watch a clip of that artist on YouTube, research their website, then Combine half the Contemp. Artists idea w. half Student ideas, then come up with our Own idea with Contemp. Artists process #K12ArtChat ex. paper artist Peter Callesen
  • joycschultz Aug 16 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat A5 #choiceart is student directed so the scaffolding is based on the students written and researched Artist Proposals. Artistic Targets assist me to elevate and change the students to achieve more.
  • ArtWithMrE Aug 16 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    We just finished writing our district's scope & sequence..and made sure to add contemporary & diverse(gender & race) artists to link to...we want to make sure our students see themselves in the artist's we look art! #k12artchat
  • McGeeKelley Aug 16 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A5 I use gallery walks, group art discussion time, and partner time. We use VTS talking points to guide talking about our work. This is something I always feel I could do more of in class! #K12ArtChat
  • kjohnson2009 Aug 16 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A5- Since I'm a classroom teacher a lot of our "art" vocabulary comes from picture book illustrations...and teachable moments at the paint easel. 😂#K12ArtChat
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Aug 16 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A4: I have used different artists (e.g. Kehinde Wylie, Joseph Cornell, Reggie Laurent) But I have used even more contemporary artists like @jamitk ,Erik Abel, @dsantat & @peterhreynolds #K12ArtChat

    A5. VTS routines and class critiques allow Ss to look and reapond to their own artwork and others #k12artchat
  • smARTisteacher Aug 16 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    We have classroom discussions often and small group purposeful conversations before ideation & critique. #k12ArtChat
  • Artistring Aug 16 @ 10:08 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat A5 I start off with more non verbal critiques post it note activity. Then work towards getting them ready for a bigger class critique. They didn’t do much before he. Hs art Ts helped interview/hire a new ms art teacher that is in the same page so that will change.
  • raybournartroom Aug 16 @ 10:08 PM EDT
    A5 scaffold, scaffold, scaffold! Planning for time for students to discuss their own work and the work of other kiddos helps them develop language, vocabulary and confidence! #K12ArtChat

    A4: I use a “Happy Birthday...” format to highlight artists each week, I try to use ones relevant to my units, but also ones not directly related to add variety and teach artists I might not otherwise #K12ArtChat
  • TaylorABeam Aug 16 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    A5: Constant feedback and conversations through the process. Model it. Practice it. Make it a part of your class DNA. It shouldn't be intimidating - it should be fun and natural! #k12artchat

    I'm a classroom PreK teacher so I teach it all! I like the biography approach though. Definitely opens up some options. #K12ArtChat

    Q6 What do you do when your students don’t get it? What does reteaching look like in your classroom? #K12ArtChat

    I resemble that comment , lol! I have so many resources tips, tricks and people to follow it's silly! #K12ArtChat - also you can get all the resources shared if you follow #K12ArtChat on @participate

    #K12ArtChat A5 I utilize working critiques, students presentations of documentation of the process with @sway to help share growth and skills they have explored/developed.
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Aug 16 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A5: by building in time for Ss to interact w/ peers to get feedback on their works. #K12artChat

    Q5/A5 by modelling how to talk about art, encouraging it and then give them the opportunity to practice in both group settings and one on one #k12artchat
  • ELAwithMrs_J Aug 16 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5: When holding discussions, it's helpful to have sentence starters posted around the room so Ss know how to respond and talk about the concepts. #k12artchat
  • GrundlerArt - Moderator Aug 16 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A6: Kids are often at different places and sometimes it means some extending there learning by creating something innovative beyond the current product and sometimes it means working with a student one on one to master a skill #K12ArtChat
  • MsBreKArt Aug 16 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5: vocab! I realized that my kids new the processes but didn’t recognize the words used. My goal this year is to have students keep sketchbooks and take down notes for important terms. Also critiques. Also word banks. Also I just love words and talking about art #k12artchat
  • joycschultz Aug 16 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat A6 students indicate needs through written reflections, exit tickets, and one-on-one discussions. Emphasis is on the process and progress.
  • McGeeKelley Aug 16 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A6 We work in small groups on some things, practicing first helps, and layering and repeating vocabulary and skills helps those that need time to learn it. Reteaching is constant and routine to keep misconceptions and understanding in check! #K12ArtChat
  • ArtWithMrE Aug 16 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A6: Cartwheels, jumping up & down, voices, jazz hands...whatever it takes to get it across!! #k12artchat

  • kjohnson2009 Aug 16 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    A6- In our room there's always practice and reteaching opportunities at centers. It's really where I can be the most flexible to what my kids need. #K12ArtChat
  • lhs_ART Aug 16 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    A5: I have a bunch of ping-pong balls with prompts written on each. When we “critique” I can distribute to guide conversation—and we have a lot of fun bouncing them around the room 😁 #K12ArtChat
  • smARTisteacher Aug 16 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    Depends on the concept or skill set. Sometimes it’s reaching out to YouTube. Other’s it’s asking student leaders to assist with small groups. #K12ArtChat
    In reply to @McGeeKelley
  • TaylorABeam Aug 16 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    A6: Depends on the student and the goals. Mini workshops, one on one practice, peer teaching - I'm also a fan of pulling in another teacher to help explain/model that concept in a different way. #K12ArtChat

  • raybournartroom Aug 16 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    A6 if at first you don’t succeed... we all know that the same tips and tricks don’t always work from year to year much less from class to class sometimes! Asking students to show their thinking in sketchbooks is one of my fav ways to see where we got lost #K12ArtChat
  • thelmagrace Aug 16 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    A6. Try rewording the instructions, add a tip or step or even explain why you keep a step so Ss don't skip. Sometime a lesson just bombs and you have to decide to keep it, change it, move it to another age/grade lwvwk or just scrap it. Ts r all learnin too. #k12artchat

    A5- To get my students talking about their Art, What I started doing This Year on my classroom Twitter is having students that discuss Why/ How they created a project, but without faces/ names, just voice. #K12ArtChat which is Less Daunting than talking in front of a whole class
  • McGeeKelley Aug 16 @ 10:18 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat Thank you for joining me tonight!!! Loved all of your input!

  • ClarkPris Aug 16 @ 10:21 PM EDT
    #K12artchat A6: quick demo, scaffolding, and sometimes tour him/ her around the classroom to be inspired by some of other students art.
  • lhs_ART Aug 16 @ 10:22 PM EDT
    Here’s to a spectacular year! My kiddos come next Thursday....a mix up with ordering and I’m HOPING my supplies arrive about the same time! Thanks for the thought provoking questions @mcgeekelley G’night to another great @k12artchat #K12ArtChat
  • MattCockrellArt Aug 16 @ 10:23 PM EDT
    A6- if my students ‘don’t get it’ then the same concepts are usually brought back to life on the Next project and with a different medium #K12ArtChat

    A6: i do SHORT Demos. Piecemeal for more complicated projects. First this then this - preserve the mystery 😂 I am constantly checking in with the kids, having them teach and encourage each other, and watching their interactions with media and the project #K12ArtChat 1/2

  • MsBreKArt Aug 16 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    A6: I’m constantly seeking new ways to approach media/processes, scrapping lessons, and I even have kids be “guest teachers” to share a skill or interest. Last year it was henna and origami units. So cool. And gives me some time to reflect on voice and choice. #K12ArtChat
