PPinciotti Visual Verbal Meaning Making

How is this memory like learning to How is this memory like learning to teaching?teaching?

I was remembering how she taught me that everything, even ink, had a purpose and a meaning: Good ink cannot be the quick kind, ready to pour out of a bottle. You can never be an artist if your work comes without effort. That is the problem with modern ink from a bottle. You do not have to think. You simply write what is in swimming on the top of your brain. And the top is nothing but pond scum, dead leaves, and mosquito spawn. But when you push an inkstick along an inkstone, you take the first step in cleaning your mind and your heart. You push and you ask yourself, What are my intentions? What is in my hear that matches my mind?

◦ Belief in child’s ability to grapple with artistic ideas and processes◦ Opportunities to work in depth with media, images and ideas over

time◦ Perceptual exposure to the visual world and a variety of art models

Artful Dialogue:◦ Engage in joint problem-posing and solvingI’m not sure how to connect these pieces, what could we use?These colors are very bright, how would we make them softer?This idea is taller that our paper, what could we do?◦ STRETCH visual literacy by looking togetherI’m not sure how to draw that either, let’s get a picture of one.Shauna painted one of those last week, let’s ask her how she did it?What lines do you see in the outside edge of the sculpture? On the

surface?

MODIFICATIONS IN MODIFICATIONS IN THE VISUAL ARTSTHE VISUAL ARTS

“A difference unaddressed becomes a disability.”

James Collins

Modifications for ArtModifications for ArtThe more you know about the individual child the better you

will be able to assist him or her in learning. Strategies to accommodate diverse student needs:

◦ Curricular or Goal Modifications where assignment is simplified or modified for some students, enriched or enhanced for others providing differing outcomes to the same basic assignment

◦ Same assignments, same goal with modifications of techniques tool and/or media to meet a specific need

◦ Alternative goals, same materials and techniques will be explored, but final product is altered for student success

Benefits of the arts : Social-emotional, Motor, Sensory Awareness, and Cognitive development◦ The arts nurture a sense of inquiry, discovery, delight and build

feelings of awareness, independence, and success as a creator!

The Hundred Languages of Children

by Loris MalaguzziNo way.

The hundred is there.

The child is made of one hundred.

The child has a hundred languages

a hundred hands

a hundred thoughts

a hundred ways of thinking

of playing, of speaking.

A hundred always a hundred

ways of listening of marveling of loving

a hundred joys for singing and understanding

a hundred worlds to discover

a hundred worlds to invent

a hundred worlds to dream.

The child has a hundred languages

(and a hundred hundred hundred more)

But they steal ninety-nine.

The school and the culture

Separate the head from the body.

They tell the child:

to think without hands

to do without head

to listen and not to speak

to understand without joy

to love and to marvel

only at Easter and Christmas.

They tell the child:

to discover the world already there

and of the hundred they steal ninety-nine.

They tell the child: that work and play

reality and fantasy

science and imagination

sky and earth

reason and dream

are things that do not belong together.

And thus they tell the child

that the hundred is not there.

The child says:

No way. The hundred is there.
