This lesson would act as a review for students in my Introductory courses. The video would be included on lesson materials page for students to easily access in conjunction with the project tabs. I would want to utilize multiple videos and powerpoints for the lesson rather to structure materials.
After the review of the elements of Arts students would participate in multiple activities centering around the creation of a doodle drawing. Students would begin by taking a Left Brain, Right Brain test. Using that information students would create a drawing that represents themselves in the context of their test results. Internet access would be a must. A limitation that could occur would be classroom dialogue among peers. This lesson would be designed for the beginning of a new class. Students will not know everyone at their tables, which could cause students to be shy.
This lesson aligns with the Temporal Contiguity principle, in that I am narrating the video as students watch the graphics on the screen. Being a review, I tried to keep in mind the Coherence principle and limit extraneous to focus on the main concepts. When creating the video, I used Spatial principle, utilizing proximity between written words and the graphics. Showing students not only the classroom context but also digital tools that they could use would help students grow.
Students could use free video programs like YouTube, to create and upload art assignments or instructional videos. One project, I thought about doing in the future is having students create do it yourself or tutorials on creating a piece of artwork to share with their fellow classmates.
Creativity needs to be worked on not only for the students but also the teacher. As a teacher I need to re-evaluate some of my teaching strategies and presentation mediums for my classes. As I grow in this class, I want to bring more selfmade videos into my classroom. I have homebound students every trimester that could benefit greatly by having review videos. I did have fun exploring the other video makers, but for convenience and the sake of time I chose to create a screencast.
I like how you incorporated other subject areas and relatable student topics such as cell phones. You also gave a variety of other nice examples along with the pictures such as comparing directions to types of lines, etc.
