Student-led art lessons


One of the things that I love about teaching older kids is the level of projects that they can handle. Their creative minds are so open to trying new ideas and exploring new options. It’s so cool to see what they come up with.

This month, in keeping with the geography theme, I’ve assigned a neat project for art that allows them to be the teacher. Basically, they have to choose a famous artist, time period, or piece of art and teach the other students about it. Then, they do a demonstration on how to re-create that style and that’s our art lesson for the week. Today’s the first student art lesson, so I’ll let you know how it goes… Here are the guidelines and rubric that I made for this project. Have a great weekend everyone!
