Anoka High School - Kevan Nitzberg | Art Teacher - 10 Hours
This week I was dedicated to Anoka High School with Kevan Nitzberg. This week I over saw the persistent effort that went into starting the student’s emotive self-portraits. Many students have started their emotive self-portrait and putting deep thought into their decision making on the project. I observed that some students were struggling to start their portrait. One girl in particular was having a difficult time, we conversed and she shared that she enjoyed flowers. Her portrait that she started of her self, had flowers around the eyes. To me it portrayed Greek Goddess Artemis. I gave her a couple of Ancient goddess names that related to her interests and thither strengths in personality. The next day when I approached her in class and asked if she had made any break throughs with her idea. And the Greek Goddess, Artemis helped her thought process on the emotion she wanted to portray.
I’v learned that any ideas help create more ideas and possibilities for a concept for a project. For the students, I can see that they are realizing that conversing with your peers and bouncing ideas off of one another can help generate more ideas that potentially point in the irection of your end goal.
Here are the pictures from my last week lesson with Kevan Nitzbergs class that I was not able to post last week.
