K-5 is exploring the concept of Respect.
We started with the central idea being:
As artists, we can show who or what we care about through the art we create.
We first looked at some Winslow Homer pieces and the students came to their own conclusions
as to what he may of respected or cared about. Some responses were:
nature
children
the idea of play
peacefulness
art
the ocean
We then made a connection to ourselves by having conversations and asking questions:
What do you care about and respect?
How do you show you respect that particular thing?
Can we only respect people?
Can we respect objects, places, ideas?
Each student then created a piece based on respect.
