On the topic of teaching Classicism, Neoclassicism, and Renaissance artists, I have found that it's a lot more relevant with older children (Middle or High School aged). It's a logical connection when learning ideal human proportion in Figure Drawing, for example, or chiaroscuro when exploring charcoals, or perspective. But I do try to bring them in when it relates (like DaVinci's invention drawings or grotesques when doing certain projects in Elementary). Also, I think it's more developmentally appropriate to target modern and postmodern art with younger children (it's generally more schematic).Anoushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00509791346723372855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381120504894150431.post-42133760695692181552010-10-06T05:38:21.706-07:002010-10-06T05:38:21.706-07:00congrats.. on the move.. and lots of parents just ...congrats.. on the move.. and lots of parents just dont' take the time to tell or look at things like this..

I ended up the art teacher with absolutely NO clue on what to do or how to do it! Your blog has saved me and actually made it a pretty fun class for all of us. I look forward to my class each week and love what I am learning as well.

It's a good topic.<br />Regarding the blog, all the posts on this site will be on WordPress. I intend to make a few changes and introduce some new categories, but overall it should be the same.<br />I'm hoping to continue with my Google Friends Connect button, so you shouldn't have problems following me.

Definitely harder to teach w/elementary kids. Though, I do go back 17,000 years when we learn about Lascaux, and the kids follow up with a painting project done while in the "caves" (sitting on the floor under the tables). So I suppose we could get back under the table to paint a ceiling ala Michaelangelo.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381120504894150431.post-9004246194575913182010-10-02T18:56:33.573-07:002010-10-02T18:56:33.573-07:00Patty- I think you will enjoy Wordpress.

If they want to study the great Masters they'll become Art History and Studio Art majors in college like I did and they'll get PLENTY of them then!! ; )pink and green mama MaryLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961907935822653414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381120504894150431.post-71694517567386621842010-10-02T14:24:57.863-07:002010-10-02T14:24:57.863-07:00Hooray for new beginnings and I remember the felli...Hooray for new beginnings and I remember the felling of what the heck am I supposed to be doing when I first started teaching art 12 years ago!!

It's true, I rarely create lessons inspired by Michelangelo, DaVinci, Ruebens, etc. This has more to do with personal tastes than anything else. I certainly have a style of art projects that has worked for me and sticking to what I do well and am inspired by, usually translates best with my students<br /><br />I do, however, teach art history. I feel it's exciting and essential for kids to understand how art has evolved throughout history and through different cultures. <br /><br />I don't know, Janice, maybe you'll see more "Masters" art lessons in the future. Do you have any good ones to share?<br />Thanks for the great question!Patty Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085225715086624172noreply@blogger.com
