My art student had difficulty drawing and understanding concepts. I used an app called Amaziograph which automatically draws symmetrically even with a scribble drawn with eyes closed. This helped since his eye-hand coordination wasn't strong. This was p aired with a kinesthetic song and video. The student danced and sang to the song while reading the words. I used another app called Tracer. Students traced a line as it appeared. The app showed the original, and the student's tracing. Next I scaffolded the activity by having the student watch the lines appear and draw them on paper. I could have added another step by having them trace the same item on a light box. The student enjoyed both of the activities. He did not get frustrated. These apps were used as practice before he created his paper art. |

My student had ADHD, and had difficulty remaining focused on tasks. His art project was broken down into sections. He was given a physical job to do intermittently giving breaks during his art work. He walked from the front of the room to the back and sharpened 5 pencils. When he returned to his work he was directed to the board to check off which step he was working on, This kept him focused. He also picked his subject matter which helped his focus. |
