Building Self-Esteem Through ART
Consider an Art Walk
After students have completed the art lesson, lay the art out so student can walk by and take look at other classmate’s work. Talk about how their art is the same and how it is different. Celebrate differences!
There are no wrong answers in art. Whatever ideas and or colors a student wants to use is the right answer. Remember expressing oneself happens in many different ways.
Create an Art Gallery
Designate an area in the classroom or in the hall to display students work.
I have found while students draw, stories start emerging about the characters they are creating. Consider having your students write a story about their characters.
