Having “word banks” can help, too. Categories of ideas and specifics, ex: elements (color, line, shape, etc), arrangement (above, below, left, right, etc), can help students articulate what they see.
A1. Leo from CoTA. Posting late, but was intrigued about the image for Q1, so I had to drop by. I see ovals making circles. Black and white. Movement from stillness. It’s a bit dizzy, disorienting. 😵💫
A4: Students examine artwork for examples of processes, demonstrations of specific elements, and what ideas are being represented through the art. #CaArtsEdChat

A3: Last night! I’m enrolled in UCSD Extension’s Children’s Book Writing + Illustration program and I’m reading and reviewing children’s stories + books, as well as reading classmates’ reviews every week. Pictured is one of my recently-reviewed books. #CaArtsEdChat
A2. Students in CoTA classes regularly examine and discuss various pieces of art: selected inspirations, their own, and those produced by their classmates. #CaArtsEdChat media.giphy.com/media/VDTGsg…
CoTA Fall Literary Institute: FREE for K-8 teachers, offering strategies using visual arts, spoken word, comics, theater, and movement to inspire students to engage more creatively with ELA. For information, and to register, cotaprogram.org/cota-literar…
A4: I live it. It seems every time I draw, my style evolves. Very much need to discipline myself towards consistency for a particular project. Here’s my two latest. Left is ink, crayons + digital. Right is digital. #CaArtsEdChat
A3: Love it, though I cheated w/ previously-written haiku. Thanks 4 letting me share. 😌 Let’s do more of this, por favor! I enjoy the occasional jump into new unfamiliar playgrounds. Sometimes, I’ll stay and play (as I’ve done with poetry in the past couple years). #CaArtsEdChat
A1: Sorry, missed last week as I was out of town. Again, posting early as I am teaching during #CaArtsEdChat.
Here’s a haiku I wrote recently.
Reminder: #inktober2021 #drawtober2021 going on all month. Post your art!
A4: Some of the awesome moves from some of my recent Pre-K and K classes. In addition to spatial concepts, we get storytelling, full body activity, sequencing, music, and.. FUN! #CaArtsEdChat
A2: By having student artists demonstrate processes and techniques. Save some of that “teacher” stuff for them to do, to emphasize the idea they can learn from each other. #KeepKidsCreative #CaArtsEdChat
A1: Hi, all. Leo from CoTA, early again as I have a Wed after school class. Miss our live chatting! I love gathering with family and friends for Thanksgiving. Special challenge this year is celebrating with heart healthy foods. #CaArtsEdChat images.app.goo.gl/jqWnGgvZMC…
