ART IS THE CONDIMENT OF LIFE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT BUT
 IT IS A LOT BLOODY BETTER WITH IT

Creativity, Innovative, Problem Solver, Analytical Skills, Critical thinker
VISUAL ART CAN BE A VEHICLE FOR OTHER SUBJECTS TO GAIN A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF CONCEPTS AND CONTENT 

In 1999, Richards J. Heuer Jr., explained that: “Thinking analytically is a skill like carpentry or driving a car. It can be taught, it can be learned, and it can improve with practice. But like many other skills, such as riding a bike, it is not learned by sitting in a classroom and being told how to do it. Analysts learn by doing.”[1]

HOW TO SET STUDENTS UP FOR SUCCESS WITH PROJECT BASED LEARNING?


DESIGN YOUR PROJECTS BACKWARDS WITH PROJECT TUNINGS (THE POWER OF CRITIQUES AND WORKING WITH PEOPLE OUTSIDE YOUR AREA).

DO THE PROJECT YOURSELF
DO THE PROJECT YOURSELF
DO THE PROJECT YOURSELF

DON'T WASTE TIME ON UNIMPORTANT TASKS

MAKE IT 'HARD FUN' AND GET OUT OF THEIR WAY

BE CONSISTENT (DON'T MAKE EXPECTATIONS A MYSTERY) THERE IS POWER IN PROTOCOLS

GIVE IT A REAL WORLD CONNECTION

BE PREPARED TO BE COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED AND IF SOMEONE OFFERS TO HELP SAY YES!!!!

FINALLY 
PROOF IS IN THE PRODUCTS
