I loved the work of Jeronimo Lozano! So creative and wonderfully done. The work was so meticulous and is a great way for people to connect on a personal level.

Institutional Theory and Sculpture
Making homemade playdough can also be a chemistry/science lesson (and it's cheaper then buying it!). It was a great way to personalize this theory and style. I think I woud try to take them to an art museum or perhaps construct a classroom museum of artworks that they do! Focusing on geometric shapes will be a great help to younger children who are still developing those fine motor skills. Hands on, hands on, hands on!

It might be a cool idea to have this be a bigger project during the year where each kid could research a specific time in the history we would be studying, make a clay retablo, and then write a speech or small essay about this time in history and put on a fair for the other classes in the grade. This would give them public speaking experience but not in a super intimidating way! Awesome job girls!!

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this lesson. I think that it is a great way to teach both math and Art. I would use this in my math classroom with a very few changes. It covers both the math and art so well. I actually used some of our ideas already in a lesson plan for a different class. Great Job!
ReplyDeletei really enjoyed it! i think it might be fun to, in stressing the definition of what institutional art is, have each kid draw something they make think is institutional art. then have an "art museum/display" and include some of the drawings but not all. then ask which ones are institutional and why. as they try to come up with their own theories, listen, and afterwards tell them that those drawings in the "museum" weren't chosen because they were institutional - they are institutional bc they were put in the museum. yall did such a good job!
