I know it's been a while and wanted to take this opportunity to show you what I have been up to lately in the Art Studio working with young children.
Some of you are aware I am a formally trained Early Childhood Specialist with a passion for Art. I am happy to say that here in the state of Massachusetts I am a certified Infant/Toddler, Preschool as well as Director I and II professional.
Let's learn a little more about the program that I run and take a peek into the studio.
A.R.T.S.
and
Literacy
Program
A.rtistically R.aising T.he
S.tandard
The main benefit of
incorporating literacy into an art program is that most children are naturally
visual learners when combining linguistics with letters sounds, letters and
word recognition you are strengthening young children’s ability to read and write
at an early age. The overall goal of the A.R.T.S. and Literacy program is
to bring these two worlds together in a fun and engaging way that is appealing
to young children and families. Children will be exposed to literacy via many
modalities; conversation, exposure to artistic terminology, traditional
children’s literature in the form of child appropriate books. Children will
learn about letters and words by being submerge in a child friendly art
studio that is enriched with words labeled on common areas, tools and objects
that they may be used in the Art Studio. Each lesson will be geared to the development
of Early Head Start /Head Start /School Readiness programs. They will then be
scaffold to meet the learning needs of individual groups and individual
children with varied learning abilities. All of my lesson plans are created in way in which similar concepts can be taught to elementary aged children by scaffolding the learning techniques and requirements to the needed level.

“The
Family Book”

Todd Parr

“Students
get to use colorful paper as background in unison with various shapes and textures of paper to create
a mix media family collage. They complete the project by using markers to add
finishing touches.”
Literacy Connection:
“ART”
By
Patrick McDonnell
Art Activity:
What
is Art? Making Art and beyond...
“Children learn about different line formation, and get to
practice those using crayons; they then finish up the practice by exploring
drawing and painting techniques with watercolor. The finished project is a
unique mural created as a group.”
