 link to an extension activity available from Princeton Online: The Incredible Art Department (Bird Visual Puns).


 Click here to access a link a colour mixing activity using icing and biscuits. If you have resources handy, you may like to have a go at this yourself. If you are pressed for time, keep this lesson plan as a handy resource.

"By now you should be familiar with the terms ‘learning in’ and ‘learning through’. After either having a go at your own edible colour wheel or having had a peruse of the lesson plan reflect upon the following":

·         What are some of the opportunities for learning ‘in’ that students can obtain through the Edible Colour Wheel Activity? Try to formulate some concrete examples to share with your peers.

·         What are some of the opportunities for learning ‘through’ that students can obtain through the Edible Colour Wheel activity? Try to formulate some concrete examples to share with your peers.

·         What might some of the opportunities for learning ‘in’ and ‘through’ the drawing activities you have engaged in this week be? The Bird Pun Lesson Plan from Princeton Online provided explicit reference to some opportunities for interdisciplinary learning.




"Through the Arts Tasmania website, you can access arts@work This website provides links to further rich resources and professional development opportunities available in Tasmania. You should be able to find similar programs relevant to your country/state/territory through a simple Google search. 
Artists in residence program video clips AiR 2010 and AiR 2011
These clips demonstrate the place and power of the arts within the school context. To see such programs operating within our schools is incredibly heartening to see. Pay close attention to the students’ reactions to their experiences engaging in these programs.

Not only are such opportunities so positive for the students, but these also provide wonderful opportunities for teachers to learn about aspects of art making and instruction from the artists they work with, and vice versa.
