Q: What are some ways teachers can use ArtsConnectEd with an interactive whiteboard?

I am an K-12 art specialist. I just got a whiteboard for my classroom and am looking for ideas on how to use ArtsConnectEd with this exciting new tool.

A: ArtsConnectEd and Interactive Whiteboard Ideas

Interactive Whiteboards and ArtsConnectEd:

Learn the principles and elements of art by showing a slide and having students take turns drawing principle or element on the slide.
- Outline the negative and positive space
- Draw the different types of lines and write what type of line it is
- Draw a line down the middle to discover symmetry
- Circle the emphasis/ focal point
- Draw the pattern
- Outline and label the shapes
- Find an artwork with linear perspective. Draw lines to find the vanishing point.
- In an artwork that has large blocks of color, discuss primary and secondary colors. Label the colors. Teach color mixing by coloring between two primary colors with the new secondary color marker.
- Use the highlighter tool to change the color of an artwork. Discuss how color changes the mood.
Use the double slide feature to compare pieces of artwork. Have the students circle and highlight the areas that are similar and different in corresponding colors.
Create a set and have the students take turns rearranging the slides based on what order they think fits the theme. Explain their ordering system.
In the Text section, choose an article or docent manual and read it as a class. Highlight and circle important concepts, write notes on the side, and refer back to slides for images.
In the Text section, do an Instructional Material worksheet together as a group project. Take turns and let the students fill in their answers.
While looking at a set, take turns writing adjectives that describe the artwork. Discuss the reactions.
Learn about different art mediums by viewing slides and watching videos about the techniques. Good introductory tool when starting a new project. (“Printmaking” Collector Set is a great example)
Look at “A Good Read” Collector Set and answer the questions together before reading the answers. Write answers in the space next to the images.
Look at portraits (or “Portraits” Collector Set) and draw a background or add a speech bubble. Use the double slide feature and create a dialogue between two artworks.
