Students are currently working on recreating a small section of 3 Impressionist paintings with my student teacher and my first change instead of just going back to stained glass windows http://www.artsonia.com/museum/gallery.asp?exhibit=580787 which they still may complete, challenge them to create a new original art project to show what they learned from the painting exercise.
My thoughts are it could just be another painting in an Impressionistic style or it could be a blog post about what they liked or disliked about the exercise with our student teacher or a work created at home on their IPad, uploaded to their Artsonia site with an artist statement attached.
My dilemma, is how do I stop from spoon feeding the ideas to them and have them successfully brainstorm instead of choosing from my brainstorm? I'm so used to control I don't want to let go!
I feel I need more info on Project Based Learning (PBL) & Teaching Artistic Behavior (TAB) before I jump in, but if I believe in "learning by doing" I need to make me the student and be alright with "I'm not good at this YET!"
Right? Of course right.
What do you think?
