Tips to Help Gauge if an Art Project is Right for Your Class: AME 006

How do I gauge if a lesson is too easy or too complicated for an age group? I get asked that a lot. And Heaven's knows, I've tried to answer that question myself on more than one occasion. But here's the thing: judging whether a lesson will work with your little charges gets easier and easier. Still, I resort to a framework that I established by about my fifth year of teaching. These are my very general guidelines as to what kids in a K-6 art room are comfortable learning while at the same time challenged enough to promote artistic growth. And that's what this episode is about. How to determine whether or not your class will be up to the challenge of a particular art project. This episode is perfect for everyone who wonders whether that art project you're eyeing on Pinterest will suit your class.  LISTEN TO THE SHOW SHOW NOTES KINDER Kandinsky Paper Cutting Lesson Play Doh Project Crayola Air Dry Clay FIRST Fancy Fish Collage Art Project What are Liquid Watercolor Paints Eric Carle-Inspired Butterflies SECOND Paper Weaving Projects THIRD How to Color with Markers Tropical Fish Watercolor Art Project FOURTH Castle Art Projects FIFTH Clipper Ship Projects Perspective Lesson SIXTH Ceramic Tile Murals Sketchbook Projects Faber-Castell Watercolor Pencils DOWNLOAD MY CHECKLIST OF GRADE LEVEL ART EXPECTATIONS If this show inspired you, please subscribe to Art Made Easy in iTunes and leave an honest review.
