three times a lady

A few key things that stuck out about class numero tres were:

• Creating distinctions.  

Many times kids/students will have the tendency to just draw draw draw, or paint paint paint and often become discouraged because they don't know what to do or really learn anything.  When a teacher creates distinctions with materials, or content, students have the ability to learn about what they are creating.  

You can use this with lesson plans by:

asking students to incorporate texture

or negative space

or color schemes like black on black, and the power of white.

• Project Examples.

The importance of using project examples is clutch as it enables students to explore their peers work.  It also cane give a sense of validation.  In many ways, the slideshow becomes the teacher's piece, and depending on available classroom materials (medias/technologies) can morph into something exquisitely beautiful.  Especially with the use of projections.

• and Tyvek. 

We are using this material with our next project incorporating text, in which we are to cut words out of a piece of Tyvek.  It is softer then regular paper but more durable.
