What: This week we were able to examine some of the artistic abilities of the students. The kids were involved in several projects and assignments that required creative arts and it was interesting to see how they reacted.
So What: The students have been working on a "Fractured Fairytales" project. Though the basic skill required for this is writing, the students are also required to include illustrations. It has been really interesting to watch the kids work on this project because you get to see which kids like to draw and which ones do not. There are several students in the class who are extremely advanced in artistic ability and it's fun to see how much the other kids adore those students. Overall, it really seems like this is a fun assignment for the kids because it combines the monotony of writing with something else. They really seem to enjoy it.
Now What: I think by watching the way the kids react to this assignment, the teacher can learn a lot. It's obvious that the kids really enjoy creative arts, even if it is just drawing and coloring. I hope the teacher has taken note of this and will try to incorporate arts into more of their assignments.
