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 color choice in a piece of art they have created.
- 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 video that explains colors, subject matter and other elements in their art work being displayed and show with the exhibit.
