So the end is here. I’ve worked long and hard and I’m finally finished. For my Final Project I created a wiki on Visual Arts for Elementary Teachers and Students. My pages consist of a foundational objectives page (for the grade 5-6 art curriculum), an adaptive dimensions page for art in the classroom, an assessment of artwork page for teachers, an opinion page about creativity in schools, a page on mixing colours and creating a colour wheel, a drawing page, and a painting page.
By far my favorite pages are the ones with my videos on them. I made two videos that took a lot of time and effort. Creating a Colour Wheel and String Paint. String Paint was my favorite video because it was so much fun to make. I also took lots of pictures myself which I added throughout the pages on the wiki. I also have to give a big thank you to my two ‘students for the day’, Jordan and Taylor, who starred in my String Paint Video. Thanks girls.
For someone who is as computer challenged as myself, I think I’ve come a long way from where I was at the beginning of the semester. I don’t just isolate myself to email, Facebook, and word documents anymore. I’m sure there will be other final projects that put mine to shame, but I did the very best I could and I’m quite alright with that. I plan on expanding on it in the future hopefully, adding new pages, videos, and pictures. So keep checking back on my blog for updates.
Enjoy! http://jhines.wikispaces.com/
