Students with Disabilities

I have a 3rd grade students with ASD. He is very interested in art and enjoys being in class. One challenge is that he wants to focus only on Disney characters. I have adapted the lessons to suit his interests. For example, earlier this year, the students were learning about the architecture of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. For this student, he described to me the traits of his favorite Disney castle and created an artwork depicting that castle rather than the cathedral. This allowed him to be a part of the creative process and remain engaged in the lesson. |

Tools And Strategies

1. I like the strategy of mneumonic devices for learning art concepts. I use that when students are learning the different steps in art criticism. We use a mnemonic device as well as a chant.
2. I use technology for review of material. Often I can find the video of a picture book or a slide show of an artists' work to reinforce concepts. |

One of my students with ASD was having trouble learning the color wheel. I adapted the lesson so that he could do the assesment using playdough to mix the colors instead of pencil and paper. He was successfully able to demonstrate knowledge of primary and secondary colors. |
