Arts with social skills and emotions

Arts & Crafts Outside the Box has been designed using different Learning Situations which stimulate learners’ creativity and maintain their interest in the project. Our goal is to ensure the active participation of every child, while at the same time work on the development of their social and emotional skills, and prepare them for the challenges of the real world.

DRIVING QUESTION

This is used to present the Learning Situation and indicate the topic of the unit. The Driving question also serves to determine the entire investigation process; it’s the question that the pupils always have in mind. COOPERATE

Arts & Crafts Outside the Box has a strong cooperative component. Every Learning Situation includes a section where pupils get to work together. This makes tasks easier for pupils and helps foster natural communication in the classroom.

DISCOVER QUESTIONS

This section includes three thought-provoking questions. Discover questions set what students need to learn throughout the unit in order to answer the Driving question. SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING TIPS

Social Emotional Learning is a fundamental part of Arts & Crafts Outside the Box, and SEL tips are included in every Learning Situation. At this step, the tip is always related to an aspect of group work, such as relationship skills or social awareness.

Analysing Art Developing visual culture

This section focuses on developing and practising pupils’ observation and analysis skills. We have included a great number of different artists and varied artworks to develop pupils’ appreciation for and interest in art. Pupils are guided through the process of analysing featured artworks.

START BY OBSERVING

The Art in our world section features a work of art that serves as a talking point to encourage discussion around a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Pupils work in pairs or groups to address some of the global challenges we face today and consider their role in achieving these goals.

ATTENTION TO LANGUAGE

This activity is aimed at practising pupils’ speaking skills, using a special language support to scaffold their efforts. This short and supportive section systematically appears throughout the textbook.

GET CREATIVE!

Get creative! is a section where pupils practise through hands-on activities. This section is based on a clear step-by-step approach which guides pupils.

EXTRA MULTIMEDIA SUPPORT

We know that pupils love videos. Some of the activities from the Get Creative! section will be accompanied by a special video on the ByME Digital Platform. ART THROUGH THEATRE

The role-play activity aims at deepening pupils’ understanding of the artwork presented in Art in our world section. Pupils are asked to perform a short monologue or dialogue, music piece, dance, play, etc. The scope for creativity is limitless! The goal of this section is to teach pupils how to interpret the images they see around them with a critical eye. This ability is crucial to foster creativity and personal expression in young learners. Images are everywhere! Now, let’s teach our pupils how to se them.

VISUAL CULTURE

This section always begins with the analysis of some kind of image: a work of art, a photo or a symbol. The activity later naturally flows into the Get creative! section, where pupils are asked to create their own work of art.

CROSS-CURRICULAR CONTENTS

Arts & Crafts Outside the Box also works on some basic Science concepts, which helps implement a globalised approach to CLIL.

Understanding artists and their work

Now it’s time to focus on artistic professions and artistic processes. In this section, pupils will get a deeper insight into the stages every artist goes through in the process of artistic creation.

Studio practice

The Studio practice section focuses on a very specific technique which students may choose to use later to create their final artwork. This part of the unit is more practical, and more focused on manual work and creativity rather than on theory.

ARTISTIC PROFESSIONS

In this section the pupils learn more about a featured artist and his or her particular process of artistic creation.

ART GALLERY

This section features examples of either completed works of art or visual ideas to inspire pupils.

GET CREATIVE!

Studio practice pages always include a Get creative! activity.

Create

In this section, students complete a series of activities which guide them to plan and create their final product within the Learning Situation. Here the pupils find the solution to the Driving question.

ART GALLERY

The objective of this component is to feature examples of artwork to assist pupils in creating their own art. This could take the form of examples of completed artwork, or visual ideas to inspire pupils.

SKETCH AND FINAL CREATION

This section also includes a Sketch Box for pupils to plan their artwork.

PRACTICAL STUDIO TIPS

This section includes a practical tip on how to practise good studio habits, such as how to keep your workspace clean and organised to avoid injuries, how to keep your materials in good shape or how to be organised so that you don’t accidentally ruin your artwork.

Reflecting on artworks

Good art is much more than creating something attractive or nice to look at. Good art always includes a thoughtprovoking element. For this reason, in Arts & Crafts Outside the Box, we include an Exhibit section in which we invite pupils to view and analyse their own artwork from a critical standpoint. This section always consists of three subsections which guide pupils through the entire process: Artist’s statement, Present and Artwork review.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

In the Artist’s statement section, pupils describe the ideas, feelings or personal meaning that they wish to communicate through their final artwork. Pupils are guided through this process with a series of questions or gapped sentences. ARTWORK REVIEW

The Artwork review section consists of two parts. First, there is a series of reflective questions that guide the process of viewing the artwork of other classmates. After that the pupils write down comments made by other pupils. This section also includes a tip on how to view other people’s work.

As the name says, in the Present section pupils explain their final artwork in front of the class. This section has been designed specifically to help pupils practise their public speaking skills. FINAL REFLECTION

Finally, pupils use a series of tools to wrap up their reflection on the process of artistic creation and the interaction with their peers during the process. First they complete the self-evaluation and then they do the team evaluation.
