and their expressions provide
windows in the things that
matter most to them"
(Douglas and Jaquith 2018)
THINK
In some schools, teach are given
the option to choose their own as
long as they meet the content and
performance standards. Some follow
a strict curriculum, and some give
teachers total freedom on what to
do but more often than not, art
classes are used to create artworks
for events, holidays, and school
decorations depending are season.
THINK
In choosing the activity for your
lesson, consider the current events
and what the students are learning in
other subjects as well.

occasions,. students are able to
connect thier work to relevant
experience through art activities.

still children to.
A series of teacher-directed activities can take a toll on students by
always trying to cope with standards and what the school wants that is
why art sometimes perceived as a " tiring subject that is not for me".
Student should be able to have fun in art.
For children with special needs, art class can be break in their highly

Creative, Imaginative, and Though-
Provoking Art Activities
this are basically the integration of all pottential art skills.
these are students who are able to visualize and render thier
ideas in a skillfull manner that is considered by the audience as
well-delivered visual expression.
the works may contin symbols that let the artist convey a
message or links to history, science, and other personal
interest
Creative, Imaginative, and Though-
Provoking Art Activities

it draws form personal experiences, emotions, thoughts and
wishes

students concept of planets, each
with a different theme: ice creame,
chees,, pie, fishbowl, restayrant,
bedroom, fries, and city planets.
(Marga, 10, Acrylic on canva
When planning for an art
activity, the teacher should
carefully consider the student’s
placement in these areas in order to
create an ideal flow in an art class.
High expectations of photo-realistic will be too
difficult due to the students young age and lack of
experience which is not age-appropriate.
Giving students a very challenging open-ended task
might result to frustration and confusion if they
are still learning how to visualize and compose their
ideas on paper.
Children who are very spontaneous and imaginative
can feel inferior if the Teacher expects them to
render realistic drawings with high resemblance
from the reference which is not appropriate for
their age.
Take not that creativity is not as age dependent
as fine motor skills. Balancing all of these is
important in creating a well-designed and well-
planned art activity.
