Student Led Conferences

3/11/2016

0 Comments

 
Student Led Conferences, in which students demonstrate their learning to their parents, are two-fold in the Lower Primary Art Room.

During the last Art class before the Conferences, students are teamed with a partner for some role-playing. One partner pretends to be the parent and knows nothing about the art project and the other is the student who has to teach them the entire process. During this, students gain confidence, learn how to communicate an idea effectively, and embed their art understanding further.

During the Student Led Conference, students sit down with their parent and teach them an Art skill. The below photo shows Kindergarten students teaching their parents the Wet-on-Wet watercolor technique of painting. Having already made a project in Art class with this technique, and having practiced with a partner, they are confident of their learning and are able to communicate their ideas effectively.
