WEEK 37 - Art project as team building?

PETRA

This week we spent making different kinds of puppets. It was interesting and also fun to try all those tasks and create something real. But I think the most important thing I have learnt is that you can use an art project as a task for a whole group of students, not only as an individual work.



There are many advantages of group work:

  • allows more personal contact between students but also between teacher and students

  • strengthens social ties, develops communication

  • enables mutual enrichment and learning

  • provides space for the timid ones too

  • promotes cooperation and collaboration

  • enables the integration of pupils with special educational needs

  • encourages mutual assistance and encouragement

  • allows you to choose the procedure and tempo

  • offers space for the application of individual abilities and skills

  • allows mutual and joint control


During the last task - making an outdoor sculpture - we experienced most of the things listed above.

We also put some music to emphasise the situation.  Origami We decided to make an origami boat. The main challenge here was trying to...
