ART AND SOCIETY: BRINGING EXPRESSION INTO THE CLASSROOM TO TELL A STORY AND THE CONNECTION THROUGH LIFE EXPERIENCE TO PRODUCE A WORK OF ART GUIDE
Joe Hannon, Holland Middle School

Return

In my classroom at Holland Middle School, students will discuss the basic elements of expressionism in art and create original projects using expression to tell about their everyday living and experiences. Students will learn how to put feelings in their artistic works to express themselves. I will use printed and visual media to show students how to define and depict emotions from their role in society in order to express their environment and feelings, to create works of art. In the expressionism lessons, students will learn about the “Life Manifested through Art” concept, and I hope that it is an electrifying lesson.
