What is the best Idea Zone for you?

Because Chapman's newly redesigned art studio provides students with multiple workspace options, it was time for 1st grade students to evaluate their learning styles and provide feedback on the type of Idea Zone that would maximize their full artistic potential!

1st graders started by discussing various learning styles and investigated photographs and artworks of artists working in a variety of ways.

 

Next 1st graders worked on adding creative details into a drawing as they explored four different types of idea zones in Chapman's art studio: An elevated collaborative table with rolling chairs and tables, a collaborative floor table with a carpet and pillows, individual workstations that provide students with their own mobile workspace, and couches with pillows and drawing boards.





At the end of class, the students evaluated their ideal workspace and gave feedback using Plickers, which is a program that allows me to collect individualized data from each student anonymously.
