Getting started with students Page Preps A page that is no longer blank has an amazing way of quieting the inner critic.

The following images are from IB Visual Arts Workshops, Athens “Create a visual response to the city of Athens”… July 4th -9th 2008 Ben Keeble, UK

Digital photographs taken during course and then 45min walk on afternoon of second day…

Inspiration #1 A Visual Journey through the VMFA Inspired by the IWB pages from Athens Take some phone photos and use as imagery in your book Reflect on the museum as a space. Use your senses in reflective writing

Inspiration #2 A Sense of Place Inspired by your own sense of place Personal connections to place Exploring place: recommended for grades This is an article in Art Education Magazine March 2013 p.25-32

Collect items from or information about their place of significance. This could be pictures, videos, collect objects from the place, create sketches of the place or important aspects of the place, conduct historical research about the place or interview people who are also connected to the place

Write a narrative explaining a memory connected to your place of significance.

Respond to the following: What are the defining qualities or essence of aspects of your place? How do you and/or others participate in the culture of the place? (Culture: the customs, the arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, peoples, or other social group) Is there a specific aspect or defining quality or essence of the place that inspires you?
