Barton Open School, 8th grade - Allison Barton - 4 Hours
April 26th. Today was a fun day it was a lesson that Allison had asked me if I wanted to teach because it had to do with photography which I honestly did but I thought I should make my own lesson and I wanted to take the opportunity to see how Allison teaches an Art infused lesson in her classroom. She started of with showing the kids a mini lesson and then gave them a quick 3 problem worksheet to work on with the person next to them and then hand in when they were done. After the students completed that she went on to the next part which was explain the art side to this plan which was to take their picture and use some part on the as a parabola and the transform it. She got them excited by showing them past examples that the kids had made, she picked kids that some of them knew as well. I think that was a smart strategy because if they saw that a bigger kid that they know tried hard it will make them want to do the same. Next she assigned homework that they had that they could work on while she went around with her laptop and took picture of the kids with this filter to make 4 different colors of their face. That took about the rest of the hour to make the pictures, the kids will work on the next part of it tomorrow when Allison can go and make prints. We did this for 2 different classes.
