Ways to Use Our Art and Artists Videos

  • Using the videos in an art class?
    • Give students the chance to see artists demonstrate techniques in various mediums that they could then try themselves.
    • Inspire ideas for students’ own works of art, techniques and mediums to experiment with, and artists to emulate.
    • Have students engaging in an individual or group research project view videos to obtain primary source quotations and video excerpts they could use to create their final project, paper, presentation, or artwork.
    • Use the videos with lesson plans you create centered on evaluating art by having students respond to the art seen in a critical and thoughtful way.
    • Give students the chance to see how artists problem solve and deal with both success and failure as they create their work.
    • Use them with art appreciation activities.
    • Gain knowledge of art history in terms of periods, styles, and specific artists.
    • Create flipped learning activities watching the video outside of class and using class time for students to share their thoughts on the discussion question(s) or work on the activity idea(s) that accompany each video.
    • Give students a chance to see the wide variety of options available to them as future “working artists” themselves.
  • Interested in building student excitement for art in any grade level or across the curriculum?
    • Use the videos with a weekly “art appreciation” type activity with students learning about different artists, different periods of art, different types of art, different methods and techniques for creating art, and the power and beauty of art to interpret, influence, and inspire.
    • View videos for use as inspiration for student-created art, story, play, performance, or science experiment of their own creation.
    • Help students understand relationships between art and the discipline you teach—for example: how art reflects or influences history, the science or math involved with creating art, links between art and literature.

AND REMEMBER! EACH VIDEO IS STANDARDS-ALIGNED WITH DISCUSSION QUESTIONS AND ACTIVITY IDEAS SPECIFIC TO ITS CONTENT
