My experience of teaching art to a non verbal autistic student has shown me that in my art room this student found inspiration to create and a sense of calmness. Drawing was a welcome distraction to him where he focused on part of the whole, drawing only the most intricate details of the item being displayed. Other students would look at what he had accomplished and make positive comments which helped him communicate through his drawing with other classmates. His artwork was displayed on the board along with his peers. I usually use quiet smooth jazz music in the background when students create. |

I use art history to start many lessons in doing so I use http://arthistoryteachingresources.org/. Computer-assisted lessons affect the dynamics of the classroom in a positive way. Students are more engaged with the subject matter and interact more freely with each other. Technology doesn’t work on its own it needs to be embedded within quality instruction. Hopefully it helps students complete the task and help to bypass an area of difficulty. |

Creative projects offer students the freedom to show what they know without the constraints of printed text. Offering students art projects or multimedia presentations as a way to demonstrate an understanding of material they've learned can be an excellent alternative to timed test or take home reports |
