About Unnati

Art is more than creative expression, which has been the dominant theme of art education for much of the twentieth century. Expression is important, but researchers are also finding connections between learning in the visual arts and the acquisition of knowledge and skills in other areas. According to a 1993 Arts Education Partnership Working Group study, the benefits of a strong art program include intensified student motivation to learn, better school attendance, increased graduation rates, improved multicultural understanding, and the development of higher-order thinking skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.
I just want tell you all that trust me art is a therapy of expressions and your emotions of behaviour . If you like or dislike a subject's o its a part of the choices we make but for mental health we all know that music and art are the therapies to take .

About the lesson

Here are my top 8 tips for teaching art to children from kinder garden to 12th standard.
#1 Ban pencils and erasers.
Sounds harsh, right? I rarely use pencils and erasers in my classrooms except for a few lessons for upper grades. The reason is purely practical: small pencil leads encourage small drawings. If a kinder is drawing a portrait and then is required to paint that very portrait, using a pencil will surely lead to frustration. It’s hard to paint tiny eyes! There is another reason: pencil markings can be erased, which leads to second-guessing, which leads to lots of eraser action, which leads to the class is over before the child has anything on his paper. Using oil pastels and/or markers allows the artist to move quickly, commit to the drawing and forgive their “mistakes”. This is a big part of art for me; giving into the process and not worrying about the details.
#2 Mix paint onto paper, and not in paint palettes.
Give a child paint and an individual palette and they can spend hours mixing paints to find the perfect colour. If you have all the time in the world, then by all means do so! But if you are in a classroom setting, with 30 kids and a short amount of time, encourage the children to mix paints on their paper.
#3 Forgo art smocks and aprons
Gathering art smocks, getting them on, storing them, organizing them, etc. takes time. Sometimes by the time the children get their smocks on and get seated, 5-7 minutes of a 30-minute art class is gone. Get ’em in, get ’em settled and begin the fun stuff. I swear by Oxiclean, too. A good soaking in this powerful stuff can wipe out most stains.

#4 The ten-minute quiet time
After instructions are given, the paper is handed out and the children are engaged in their project, begin a ten-minute quiet time. This is their time; the chance to reflect on their work, the opportunity to lose themselves in their art, and perhaps the most important of all, the permission not to speak to their best friend. This quiet-time method only works if there is no transition involved. If the children are on day 3 of a project, I can expect that they will finish up at different times. Helping them transition to a new project or free-choice activity is not going to work during quiet time.
#5 Learn how to draw well and make mistakes
This is a fun one. I love to draw and demonstrating simple drawings to my students helps them engage with the lesson when teaching art. I give lots of examples so if we are doing a lesson on chameleons, I draw a few different ones; some realistic, some silly, and some animated. In the process of drawing on the whiteboard, I always incorporate mistakes. Always. I laugh at my “mistakes”, tell the kids to expect them and then show them how to turn mistakes into something else. I include many how-to-draw sheets in my PDF art lesson plan booklets. These are mostly for the teachers (not necessarily for the kids). I think you must show your artistic side, no matter what you think of it, and inspire your students. You can do it!
#6 Pick fun subjects
You probably know this by now, but I think it's imperative that you chose the subject of your art lessons carefully. I want my students charging into the art room anticipating a fun lesson and bearing a can-do attitude. I love watching their faces as they look at my whiteboard to catch a glimpse of the next art lesson. Often, kids will smile and say, “Oh, that looks hard!” but I know from their expressions that they know they will be able to do it. They have confidence! And if they have that, you have an eager and engaged crowd.

#7 Use 1/2 sheet to save time
I use the standard 12″ x 18″ drawing paper for most projects but if you cut that paper in half, children can complete the project in much less time. Not only does it save time, but it saves on supplies as well. All my projects can be done on smaller sheets, so don’t feel by using a smaller paper size you are compromising.

#8 Outline, outline, outline
The trick to making an art project look completed is to teach how to outline and add contrast to children. I’ve talked about outlining before and it’s because it makes the art pop. Think of how often Matisse outlined his work. If you are doing a drawing in pencil and then decide to paint with watercolours, it’s really hard to keep the contrast unless there is a dark line in there somewhere. Use a sharpie waterproof black marker, oil pastel or even black paint and a small brush. It makes a difference. And it doesn’t always have to be black…try a blue or even a red. Cool.
