Started lurking into #K12ArtChat. Parent of 2 girls who are, I think, pretty artistic. I love seeing this put this way:

mbellart Mar 16 @ 9:51 PM EDT

#K12ArtChat ...draw a line from your life to your art that's straight & clear. It's about making emotional connections. Drawing on meaning

goldengate10art Mar 16 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A5: I point out the connections & then the Ss begin to recognize them & try to find more. Banksy=SS, Echer=math, etc #K12ArtChat

epesART Mar 16 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Last question is 1 minute! #k12artchat

thelmagrace Mar 16 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A5 kids read a book in class, we made artwork inspired by book and author will come to library to discuss being and author. #K12ArtChat

A5 Our social emotional learning program has helped unite different disciplines together to collaborate on life-centered lessons #K12ArtChat

A5: I gravitate to science and math teachers to help solve problems in the art studio. This often leads to collaboration. #K12ArtChat

Q5- In what ways might we invite other disciplines to collaborate on life-centered lessons? #K12ArtChat

If kids are exposed to art this way, they'd grow up to defend the need for public investment in art. Wish they'd never have to. #K12ArtChat

Q2: by giving them a cause to look beyond the surface. A reason to make art to affect their community, not just self. #K12ArtChat

thelmagrace Mar 16 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A5 easy w little Ss to connect to math, lit., history & Culture constantly, maybe not as easy for classroom Ts to connect to art #k12artchat
