Art with Ms. Navapanich

This candy was a fun giveaway at our NAEA conference from Kentucky Art Education.

Art and empathy: Four thought leaders explain the connection –– Minneapolis Institute of Art By Stephanie Curry // In a fast-paced and divisive world, we can be quick to make judgments. In fact, we often make decisions based on biases or first impressions. At Mia, we believe that art has the power to open up our minds, introducing us to the stories of people across space and time. And that....

This year, I was a member of the inaugural cohort of ARTEFFECT Ambassadors. The program is part of the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes and is described as "an online fellowship for educators working directly with K-12 students to foster the visual arts. Educators learn from and alongside other high-level practitioners through art-focused, project-based learning about the Unsung Heroes. During the 2024-2025 school year, Ambassadors will participate in online modules and complete a capstone project to make an impact on their schools and communities."

We learned about Vikings today. We learned that Vikings only bathed once a week. 😳 They made their clothes out of plants, leather, and wool. We learned that they discovered the US first and they traveled by ship and used ravens to help with navigation. What I love about these is how different they are. Some students chose to paint a Viking ship or many ships or a Viking. One set of Vikings is looking out the mouth of a cave that has big giant sharp points at the entrance. I love their creativity.

The lively first graders did a pretty great job of getting all the paint supplies to the sink. They LOVE washing the tables down at the end of the day often moving on to cleaning table legs and chairs 🥰

Overlapping hearts with first grade! Practiced our tracing skills, counting, pincer grip and painting. How we finish anything with this lively, energetic group of 6 year olds is amazing 😁 They are always moving, always talking, have big emotions, and are SO excited to be in Art class. 🥰
