Engage: What Do You Do When You Get Stuck?

What do When you don't know what to make?

This mini lesson is written by Beth Williams, the art teacher at Meramec Elementary, in the Clayton School District. 
She was one of our Choice Art Mentors :)

Link to Mini Lesson: Your Artistic Process

Do you make art at home?
What kind of art do you make outside of school?
Where do you make it?
Do you make it for yourself or someone else?
Where do your ideas come from?
What do you do when you get stuck?



After watching the artist video we have students pair share and discuss their own ideas on what they do to get ideas for their art when they feel "stuck."


Students then share the ideas they discussed with their partner, and we make a student created list on the whiteboard. These are then copied on posterboard and put on display in our art rooms for our students to reference when they need a fresh idea!
