Enlightenment

Enlightenment is the awareness of something you weren't aware of beforehand. My high school class was given an assignment. Construct a representational model house exploring mixed media. Also there had to be a sign on the house somewhere that was acknowledgement of what they have changed or would like to change. Here is an example.

Resources

Over the year of teaching art to students with special needs, I have used various websites for ideas and inspiration. I also have some tried and true books I refer to on a regular basis. The first is 300 lessons in art. This book provides both two dimensional as well as three dimensional projects. It a great resource for all art teachers. The next book is entitled " Making Sense of Art". This book provides great activities for students diagnosed with autism and other developmental delays. The last book is called " Discovering Great Artists". This book provides some art history lessons about famous artists past and present and activities that correspond with that particular artists' art style.
