This is my first year as an art teacher. For the past 31 years I have taught kindergarten through fifth grade. I teach at a school with a large ESE population. I have a variety of students with different exceptionalities. Since many of my students have difficulty with small motor coordination it is difficult for them to trace and cut. A few like to put everything in their mouth. My lesson was on primary and secondary color. My lesson involved using paint to make the secondary colors. Since some like to put things in their mouth I changed it for them. I made my own playdough. I added food coloring to make red, yellow and blue. I had the students roll it and play with it so they were used to the texture. I then gave them another color to roll together. They could see that the primary colors mixed together made secondary colors. This was also good for small motor skills. . I have discovered since then that I could color the dough with Kool-aid. It is non-toxic. I did make sure that none of my students had food allergies. |

I use differentiated assignments for my non verbal ESE class. Since they don't speak I use cards for them to point to when I ask a question. For example, when we were doing warm and cool colors, iI made cards with yellow, blue, red, green, orange, and purple. I asked what color was warm and showed only two cards at a time. I then built on it by adding another card so that they had to choose from three.
Another strategy I use with my kindergarten ESE class is chaining. All are non verbal except for one student. I use hand over hand first. We recently made clay leaf prints. We practiced with playdough and cookie cutters. We use tubes to roll over the playdough and cut. I used hand over hand to help them roll out the dough. |

Assessment of Learning

Describe an example of adapted assessment you have successfully used in the fine arts classroom for students with disabilities.I have a 5th grade student with Aspergers, who also has a learning disability. I have him do short exit tickets. One recent exit ticket was to respond to a picture of Van Gogh's Bedroom. Instead of a lengthy compare and contrast of the three bedroom paintings, I had him choose one and respond on a large post it note. He wrote how that picture made him feel and why. |
