What is it?

Is it for us to know?
artist's rejection of pictorial representation through a swirling hurricane of colors and shapes. The operatic and tumultuous roiling of forms around the canvas exemplifies Kandinsky's belief that painting could evoke sounds the way music called to mind certain colors and forms. Even the title, Composition VII, aligned with his interest in the intertwining of the musical with the visual and emphasized Kandinsky's non-representational focus in this work. As the different colors and symbols spiral around each other, Kandinsky eliminated traditional references to depth and laid bare the different abstracted glyphs in order to communicate deeper themes and emotions common to all cultures and viewers.
Preoccupied by the theme of apocalypse and redemption throughout the 1910s, Kandinsky formally tied the whirling composition of the painting to the theme of the cyclical processes of destruction and salvation.

The Arts

Not Just Time Filler - 
41.

Develop Concentration?

  • Focus
  • Sustained Attention
  • Memory
  • Sequencing
  • Naming
42.

Repetition AND Variety

  • Variety makes repetition palatable
  • Repetition consolidates
  • Variety essential to keep focus
43.

Repetition allows complex processes to become habituated

44.

Mini-Curriculum

Using all the tools of the class to analyze a kid
45.

Setting Goals and Objectives

A tedious skill
46.

Goal

  • What Teacher wants for child (eg. social competence, experience joy of movement, draw at a level appropriate for age)
47.

Objective

  • What teacher wants to see child DO
48.

Plan

  • What the teacher DOES to structure the classroom to invite the child in.....
49.

Goal should start with something you notice about your kid
ie. don't pull it out of thin air....

50.

Two classes of goals:

  • deficit based (bring up to developmental level)
  • maintenance based (keep kid moving to next level)
51.

Tools versus Time

Children need them both!
