As many of my fellow
peers have express, Halloween day may not be the best day to teach a new
concept or test out a new strategy, because chances are students on this very
exciting day will have a difficult time concentrating fully on an assignment
with their neighboring peers in costume, the make up on their face itching or
the colorful wig that goes with their costume is making them too hot, the
distractions are endless.
On Halloween day I was
able to do a visual art activity focusing on the famous painting title “The
Scream,” by artist Edvard Munch. I felt
that this painting fitted nicely in with the theme of the day, the
distractions, the spookiness, and the fun.
The focus of the
activity was the warm and wavy colours in the sunset and cool colours in the
water. The rest of the picture was what
up to their imagination.
This is a sample from
one of the students in my practicum class.
