Deep in self-reflection as art practice

2022, 3rd Grade, Dear You Art Workshops, Iceland, Ukraine, USAArlene TuckerComment

Reflection from Danielle’s class - Pathfinder #1 was an exercise in digging deep into self-reflection. Students needed to choose how to represent themselves to others without using words. Several students were uncomfortable but stretched themselves to the limit. The writing price was a much easier students felt they were able to express what they had put in words. They are very excited about sharing and learning with a new group of friends.

Reflection from Kiah’s class - This project was cool to see and get to know the students. It was a bit hard for our younger students to think deeply about themselves. We also did not have access to cameras so they drew their items that represent them. We met with them via zoom and got to know them better. I will send you a picture of our classes talking.


Sincerely,
Danielle Mison, Kiah Cuatt, and Ellen Horton
