MODE Analysis

The article “Book Tackles Old Debate: Role of Art in Schools” by Robin Pogrebin explains the influence of art and the conclusion of two researchers, Ellen Winner and Lois Hetland. “Students who study the arts seriously are taught to see better, to envision, to persist, to be playful and learn from mistakes, to make critical judgements and justify such judgements,” conclude both researchers.

Children’s creativity must be extended by the provision of support for their curiosity, exploration and play. They must be provided with opportunities to explore and share their thoughts, ideas and feelings, for example, through a variety of art, music, movement, dance, imaginative and role-play activities, mathematics, and design and technology.

While working as a designer, I developed own illustration style using pens and watercolours. Since these two materials are readily accessible and easy to learn, I believe this method would be useful and enough for the public to express their ideas and bring a sense of pride and accomplishment. Throughout my years of teaching high school students at the Smile Art Institute of South Korea, I successfully aided students in honing their artistic abilities through the use of various mediums including pastels and watercolours – students were taught to create 2D and 3D artworks with precision description. I would like to share these experiences with others, who may think art as “difficult”, or requiring “natural talent”, and become a positive influence in approaching artistic

At all stages (including very early mark making) the children’s work is positively encouraged, valued and exhibited.

My art project is for children to create their own Frank Lloyd Wright inspired stained glass window. The children will use various art materials and there will be options for children who are more advanced in their motor skills and options for children who are behind in their motor skills. Such as offering glue in glue sticks, or being able to paint the glue on. I will also offer pre-cut shapes, or the children will be allowed to cut their own shapes out of the various types of paper if they are at that stage in their learning.

Whilst observing the capturing pieces of art at the Majorie Barrick Museum, I had encountered a piece that has truly grasped my attention. When we had the art tour guides guide us around the musuem to observe 3/4 specific pieces, I noticed they all were different with similar ties. They all had something unique about them, from the "graphite splatter" to the "thinned out chair leg" and the "fill in the vowels" worksheet found in a first grade work book. I've also noticed that art varies with age. If you ask a first grader to create art, we would most likely result in a piece of paper with splatters and stick figures, (yet there are a few youngsters with different mindsets), but what we don't know is that it has a certain meaning to them. Now

When children are able to show their creativity, their physical environment enhances their abilities to show what they can do. Having easily readily material that can be transformed into anything a child can imagine. The material should enhance a child’s ability to make things their imaginations

I will introduce the lesson to the children and explain what is a collage. Then, I will show them the art supplies and will demonstrate how they are going to do the art activity. Also, I will explain that we will be tearing and cutting the paper, napkins, and that no one’s art will look the same. To be creative will be our goal. I will observe the children as they are working on their project. After children finish, I would them to share their collages like to ask the questions

The importance of a teacher’s role in supporting specific art experiences, such as the themes explored in ‘The Peppa Project’ (McArdle, 2012) have brought meaning to the importance of teachers being observers in early childhood art classrooms. Throughout this narrative (McArdle, 2012, p.30), the teacher (“Sue”) allows the children to experience the creation of art through thinking about different elements such as space for example, how they are able to place their images onto the blocks (McArdle, 2012, p. 31). The Labrador ‘ Peppa’ is used as a medium by Sue to stimulate the children’s creativity throughout this art experience by allowing the children to have something tangible and ‘friendly’ to relatable to as most of them found it exciting

First of all, the first aspect of the presentation on Children’s art that seemed significant to me, is confidence. The reason that I said like this because it shows to me of how confident that children are by their presentation of art. One more, it lets me see their capacity. As we may or may not know that for all the children have their abilities which haven’t the same as each other. Thus, by their art it might reveal to me know about credence of the children. Next, my aspect of the presentation on Rhoda Kellogg’s studies that seem significant for me is development of the children’s drawing. Her studies that I can see, was focused on the children’s art. More than this, I get to see more that she believes of the art by children which it can

On top of many things art provides, starting and assisting the development of the brain for young kids is one of the best things art can do. There are a plethora of options and forms of creating art that encourage the expansion of standard skills that are mandatory for life. An article written by Grace Hwang Lynch for Public Broadcasting Service titled "The Importance of Art in Child Development" lists many skills that directly influence child maturity. Motor skills, language development, inventiveness, cultural awareness, and improved academic performance are all highlighted in the article as to what children learn when they are in the process of creating art (Lynch). "When children are in the process of creating art, they think about what colors to use […] shapes to make […] other thought processes as well as movement [like] painting, sculpting clay, and coloring [which] allows for decision making, focus, dedication, motor skills, and other important milestones.

The location of the observation was at the Community Center (Early Childhood education program) at 11:00am to 12:30pm on April 15, 2014. The meaningful experiences in early childhood education can positively shape children's development. With a teacher is guidance authentic child-art activity can educate enrich young students' learning abilities, encourage positive attitudes toward other children, and more importantly, learn to interact with people around them in the contemporary world. However, art for young students often takes many diversified approaches and emphasizing questionable practices. Observation is a part of meaningful and authentic early childhood art education. Observation enriches children’s experiences in

Art is so important for a child to have in their everyday life as a learning tool. For instance, if a

On Thursday I took my personal field trip around campus to observe the permanent sculptures as well as the ones on tour. I really enjoyed looking at both but I personally felt that I enjoyed the permanent ones better and that is what I will write about in this paper. The permanent sculptures resemble students and faculty at Western Michigan University. In contrast, the sculptures on tour did not relate so much to the students or campus as much but they did relate to the state of Michigan. While I was observing the sculptures, I did have one favorite and that the was Dunes because it painted an accurate illustration in my head when I was observing it. I decided to take my personal field trip in the morning instead of in the afternoon
