⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "We used this along with our swimming field trip. It was great. Thank you so much for the video!"
❤️ So what is special about this resource?
DUTCH TULIPS is NOT a superficial art or craft option. As a specialist in this field, I write lessons that encourage deeper, cross-curricular learning and make meaningful connections to other subject areas. This IS:
- a drawing tutorial that includes the concepts of line, shape, space and 3D form (Math),
- makes links to historic and modern culture (Where We Are In Place & Time & How We Express Ourselves- IB).
- makes cross-curricular links to Culture, Seasons, Spring, Summer, Plants
Students can express their unique ideas through personal choices and modifications, while working through the guided project. Pause the presentation in places to discuss next steps with students, check understanding and explore potential student responses or modifications, bringing personal creative ideas to the tutorial. This addresses the Viewing & Responding to artwork objectives in a purposeful way.
