Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Use the video as a conversation starter or with a journal prompt asking students to respond to Mr. Rogers’ explanation and providing their own perspective on using other sources to create their art.
- Use the video as an example of a video students could create to accompany artwork they have on display at a school or other public exhibition. What would they choose to say? Have students record their own “Sources and Influences” video and show with the exhibit.
