Learning Life Skills through the Visual Arts is perhaps one of the best ways as it is experiential, hands-on learning with an emphasis on the visual. This improves much needed skill and impacts the synthesizing of information and cognition on multiple levels.
This one-of-a-kind user-friendly comprehensive guide includes a wealth of information as to how to effectively use art to promote essential skills and much needed concepts. This includes how to assess the students place on the “art spectrum” (which is different than the autism spectrum) through examples of Schematic Art Developments Stages. Foundational instructional elements from an Interdisciplinary approach are included, such as: a multitude of visual examples and extensive definitions of the Elements and Principles of Design, how to start building an art cabinet from scratch using a myriad of supplies, step-by-step directions as to how to begin designing and implementing an art curriculum on its own or to supplement the current curriculum within existing time constraints, evaluation procedures, and multiple means of assessment in a variety of formats. This student-centered information focuses on individual development concerns including learning styles and sensitivities. Effective teaching strategies and practical suggestions for helping students achieve their maximum throughout long and short term goals.
The best feature of this book however, is the 100 concise user-friendly lessons which are presented so that any one can teach them with success with no art experience or talent necessary. This invaluable resource is an asset which can be used year after year as students grow.
