Cassie Stephens Creating Engaging Art Videos To Change the way You Teach Cassie Stephens

Flipping the Classroom for Children with Autism a session about making videos on ipads to guide students through the steps of making art at their pace. You record yourself teaching the lesson with well-defined steps then allow students to view. They have to watch the entire video once, then they may get their supplies and watch again, stopping when needed. They may also take a picture or many pictures through the process.

Creating Self Identity Through Russian Nesting Dolls The presenter was a college teacher who allowed her students to create a painted nesting dolls using their ideas about themselves. For example, they sketch the innermost doll (the smallest) with a pencil with a drawing of parts of themselves that they don’t show people. The middle would be parts that only their family knows, then the largest is the parts of themselves that everyone knows.

Touchstones We were introduced to Touchstones at our “First Timers” meeting. The speaker, Michelle Livek introduced this social art project to us and then later in the conference there was an event inviting everyone to make Touchstones. The basic idea is creating a small piece of art to pass on to another person. Touchstones are made with round floral beads, collage materials and adhesives. They are a fun way to spread art in a “courageous moment of kindness”. You can check out an article on Touchstones in the March 2017 issue of School Arts magazine. Michelle will be presenting here on Saturday from 10am-12pm. Check out the conference registration web page or registration desk for class availability.
