Students with Disabilities

I have several students who have been identified as specific learning disabled. I have found that this disability affects students differently. Some may have difficulty listening to oral directions. Some may get lost along the way with the steps of the project. Some may need reminders of how to use tools and supplies. By taking the time to get to know my students and understanding the accommodations on their IEP, I can tailor my lesson to their needs. I may include a copy of the directions, steps of the project, picture reminders, or sit the student next to a student mentor to help them find success in the art room. |

Tools And Strategies

Two of the strategies discussed that I use in my classroom are mnemonic devices and peer tutoring. I use a mnemonic device with my first grade students to remember the 7 elements of art. We say, "The fat cat sang songs very loudly" for texture, form, color, shape, space, value, and line. It helps them remember all the elements in a fun way. The other strategy I use is peer partners. If I see a student struggling with either project directions or tools, I may place them with a peer partner so the partner can model for the student what skills they may be lacking or needing. |

My students photograph, upload, title, and reflect on their artwork. I provide some students picture directions with the steps and references of the elements and principles to help them with their reflecting using art vocabulary. I may also ask a student to give a response verbally. |
