2 thoughts on “Artist”

  1. This might work better with students with a little language under their belt. (If fact, I originally adapted it for use with my intermediate/advanced ELLs.)
    Before attempting this, I used the bail out move from the post below to prepare them with the words they might need like “draw” “bigger” “smaller” etc. Then, I always make sure to have circled the words for the story really well, so the class had some language to use.

    I also loved Eric’s suggestion on this post of having different kids come up and draw different elements, but I only use volunteers because some people (myself included) HATE drawing and could be embarrassed.
    I use it for the whole story, but if you find it’s too tricky/distracting, maybe try just using this as you create the setting (perhaps like scenery/ a backdrop with the actors in front.)

  2. Claire do you find that projecting the image being drawn by your artist distracts from the lesson? I guess the artist would have to folllow Rule #8 like the actors, drawing while synchronized with your words. Is that true? I would love to make the artist’s work projected in real time happen, and I haven’t tried it yet, but I see the kids focusing on the art work and not the story. Comments?
