I have found particularly useful to learn how to scaffold lessons for students of all needs. I am currently implementing Kolb’s cycle theory in my lessons, which evolve in the stages of the experience, followed by reflection, then conceptualisation, ending with experimentation.

I might introduce 6-10 week projects, where we are learning about a new subject ie. sculpture. we start from the history part using always group or singular activities, then onto a practical activity involving a type of material, then onto another technique as we learn the next stage of the project. At the end of every project a final piece is created, using one or three of the materials you have learnt about and at least one type of technique you have learnt.

I want my lessons to be fun, engaging, ambitious, and serious also in what you learn. You will learn all the basic techniques in Art, and then work independently to create your own final works.
