Residency - Urban Arts Academy - Tamar Ghidalia - 4.50 Hours

This week at Urban was pretty loose. We did a little bit of abstract painting on a few canvases, which we’ll use a the base of a collage that Anna is going to put together with the children’s artworks. For the rest of the session, we made paper airplanes, and proceeded to have a flying contest in the gym.

The lesson plan is coming along. I will be posting it accordingly, soon after the lesson is done on next Thursday. What I have to mainly focus on it is creating theatrical prompts that have are attentive to childrens' interactions, play and imagination. It deals with the discussion of children seeing by example, and how any physical action we make can make an impact on a child. One way of approaching this is setting rules up for the theater performance, with boundaries set not only by the children, but by the teachers as well. I think that it’ll go smoothly if the class and myself set the boundaries up right.
