A Character Education Visual Art Kit
By Kathleen Thompson and Rachel Ross
This unit teaches students about respect for the knowledge and experience of parents or guardians, the necessity for rules at school, in sports, and of laws as citizens in society. Leadership qualities, vandalism and property rights are examined.
Each art reproduction featured in this set engages students’ interests and reinforces a character trait they can relate to their lives. Each activity presented has been field-tested. The Teacher’s Guide is presented in a K-9 format, but equally applicable in school systems with K-12 formats. Ready-to-use activities for each art reproduction include:
- Historical information about the artist and the artwork;
- Discussion topic for each lesson;
- Guided Looking using an easy 4-step process of art critique known as the Feldman Model;
- Activity related to Character Education;
- Detailed studio art projects;
- Assessment;
- Resources for the teacher and students.
The kit includes:
