Currently, I am in the process of developing an after school program to provide Art activities and lessons to middle school students in the City of Virginia Beach and would ask for any feedback or recommendations from educators who have insight in this area.
I m running a Sunday morning school for children for art activities. Your timing should be possibly in the morning when they are not burdened with class work. Making children engage in art activities in the morning will help them warming up their brains for better attention.
Thank you Ranjit for your response and input but unfortunately the program is designed specifically as an additional after school alternative and is not part of the mainstream school curriculum.
I design and teach after-school programming for K-6 children. I find that incorporating many aspects of play and choice-based arts education pedagogy works well. During the school day other systemic demands diminish these important opportunities. I also find that instead of introducing concepts, formally upfront, that it can work to move into the art and design work and then 'discover' 'uncover' concepts, vocabulary, etc through the artmaking.
