4th graders create totem poles so we discuss history, location, meaning
-
a1: I love doing the art of math - Ss are given a ruler, compass, and told to "draw something" but they have to use the tools as designed. Amazing work results!
-
Nick from Maine Checking in a little late.
-
A1: Art is my weakness, but so many of my Ss love it! I give lots of opportunity for them to show what they know using art. Just because I can't doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to.
-
In 5th grade we talked about the constellations & created our own
-
-
A1: Every now and then, I have my Ss create a colorful flipbook for their math skills. I don't incorporate it as much as I should. Eyes are wide open for suggestions in math!
-
-
a1: when teaching coordinate plane, I have Ss plot points, then connect to make constellations. Then they reflect through an axis
-
A1. Not a lot. I did art robotics last summer session.
-
-
I've incorporated it into my social studies classes a little bit - political cartoons for US History class
-
A1: Visual arts and appealing design can be embedded everywhere. Makes the learning and classroom warm and inviting.
-
A2: In world history we look at early forms of art, sculpture and cave paintings
-
3rd graders worked on math problems but incorporated Charles Demuth's technique
-
-
-
A2: Just looking at art as it is used to explain situations and periods of history - limited for me!
-
-
-
A2: I only teach math, but taking notes for the future!
-
-
-
A3: Model the ecosystem by creating a poster, making models of atoms
-
-
A2: every project try to provide history info particularly when the art was created. Why it's important.. Ss want to know the "why"
-
A2: I love incorporating art into history lessons. Native American art, colonial textiles and art, copper engraving, etc.
-
A3: In science we used interactive journals, models, diagrams, design, etc. for reinforcing patterns, nature and other scientific concepts.
-
-
A3 - I️ used to do an activity with insects so I looked it up and found this great blog post https://t.co/FPFeWSmHD9
-
A3: coming from art teacher perspective checkout environmental artists! Andy Goldworthy is great example. Create recycling posters. Shadow box on chemical element from P. Table
-
-
A4: I haven't gotten the chance to teach geometry yet, but I am so excited for this unit so the kids can break out their creativity. I plan on stealing all ideas/activities!
-
-
A4: In algebra, we create "creatures" using pattern blocks that show consistent, predictable, repeatable growth and then create function tables and formulas to explain.
-
A4: Absolutely! Geometry shapes incorporated in flowers, tessellations, polygon art, sky lines, etc.
-
A4: discussed proper angles to create triangles & one-point perspective in 6th grade art this year
-
-
-
-
-
A5: I like to share artwork/pictures in the class and have Ss create lessons/ask questions about the works. does a great job of this with our Ss in art!

A5 -
WEX Narrative Writing - Lesson 19 (Describing a Creature so that Someone Can Draw it!): https://t.co/lpgj0qXhAM

A5: I do more writing about photo prompts than created art.
-
-
A5 I often use in my language arts workshops to show teachers GORGEOUS writing prompts for their students! https://t.co/TKYHswcKU7
-
A7: My art teacher is amazing, and I'm sure she'd love to share vocab terms with me so that we can speak the same language. Plus, I'd love to learn!
-
Collaboration! You never know what units might collide and you could get a lot covered!
-
-
A7: As a teacher, use art vocabulary as often as you can when teaching. Can also play vocabulary games and focus on one specific vocabulary term a week with each art lesson.
