Mr. Salvador Dogi's Fur-ever Artist Study Group (Art Appreciation) PART 1 & 2

Do you ever find your self with a couple of extra minutes at the end of class? Maybe the class cleans faster, your directions run smoother or the teacher is running late. Rather than sing and dance to keep their attention. Use these quick 3 minutes games while, they stand in line.

1. Odd One Out (3 pieces presented, but 1 doesn't belong)
2. I Spy (looking for specific items)
3. Art Counts (counting the number of a specific item)
4. Spot the Differences (1 painting has 3 extra things)

Questions are simple and based on images of famous painting. Each activity encourages student to study details in a fun, creative way.

Students join Mr. Salvador Dogi's Fur-ever Artist Study Group. The dogs play and discuss the paintings using their zoom chat box. With the script style format, teacher can assign reading roles for added fun and engagement. The presentation can be ran alone. However, ARTy has included additional facts on each piece of art for higher grades or deeper learning.

This is for:

Art Teachers who:

1. need to introduce/ review art vocabulary (elements, principles, subject matters)
2. wish to engage in conversion about art appreciation and history in nontraditional ways
3. understand students learn freely when they think it's a game (yup, trick them)
4. need to fill the last 5 minutes of class
5. provide a bell ringer for the first 5 minutes
6. have curious learners
7. reward students for excellent behavior, indoor recess or hard work during class
8. have classes who are finishing earlier than others, alternate schedule, early release or performances that leave classes off schedule
9. have student who can connect with dogs or technology
10. need to engage ELLs in speaking roles (comfortable, small parts)
11. has an overactive class and struggles with passive learning, script reading
