It's a Bird . . . It's a Plane . . . It's Art
Schechtman, Helaine
SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v112 n1 p19-21 Aug-Sep 2012
This lesson teaches students that a drawing does not have to be realistic to be a valued piece of art. It's fun to have students look at abstracts and ask them what they think they see. As they excitedly yell out "It's a bird," "It's a flower," "Huh? I don't see that!" they begin to realize the beauty of an abstract. It can be so many things to so many people. In this article, the author describes how her students created their abstracts. (Contains 1 online resource.)
