Two years ago I had a visually impaired student in the fifth grade. All 5th grade students participate in the Kids Tag Art fundraiser. She wanted to participate and of course I wanted her to. She wanted to try and draw out her idea, which was to draw a water park. First thing I did was to buy her a set of wikki sticks. We mapped out the outline of the water park and once it was done, she was able to trace everything with a pencil. I helped her color it. She was so happy that she was able to feel her artwork. I was very grateful for the wikki sticks. I always have a set just in case I ever need to use them again. |

In my classroom we currently use ven diagrams to compare and contrast two works of art. The students love it because it is a way for them to organize their ideas. Next year I will be implementing story maps into my curriculum due to the fact that I have to start implementing literacy in art. We will be reading stories, organizing our thoughts by using story maps and create artworks. |
