We're at the beginning of our new unit and so it's important that we think about what we already know and think. Yesterday the students worked in groups to discuss 'what is art?' without any input from the adults in the room who only observed. The groups of four came up with there own agreed definitions within a 15 minute time constrait. The discussions were very interesting and a lot of 'creative thinking' was happening. The conversations could have continued for a long time and many ideas were shared and scribed but the final task was to write one definitive sentence. There's lots more to talk about but here's what was created:
Art is everything with imagination, creation, feeling, memory and seeing.
Art is to be creative and to be allowed to show your feelings.
Art is feelings as you imagine interesting back ground pictures and painting landscapes.
Art means imagination, skill, concentration, creativity, and fun. It is a religion for creativity and being unique.
Art is feelings in pictures that usually have colour and can control emotions. Music is art.
I think that a great story should have fantasy, adventure and entertaiment to the children.
