Building relationships is crucial for young students. Before we can teach our students about the importance of relationships we need to strengthen our own understanding. Through our past few weeks studios I have been able to answer the essential questions and built on my knowledge of relationships. During our Mary Cassatt studio I created a piece of artwork that was based on the relationship I have with my sister. This is a positive relationship I have in my life that is expressed in my artwork. Rene Magritte allowed me to think of relationships in a surreal context. One of my postcards shows a relationship with the world and how when you have the chance to visit other places you can make a connection with them. The other postcard I created shows a boy running away from home, I pretended that the boy had a bad home life with negative relationships and needed a chance to start over. This studio also had peer collaboration and allowed me to grow relationships with other students in my class. In the final relationship studio focusing on the art of Do Ho Shu I created a piece of art about my idea of home. Instead of making and actual model of my home I wanted to share about the relationships I have with my family and what each of those relationships brings to me. My overall idea was that wherever my family is I feel at home.
Students that are able to build relationships will thrive in the conceptual age. We want are students to be able to have meaningful relationships both positive and negative. Students can also build empathy with the right relationships as Pink says empathy also use to see someone else’s side of an argument, comfort someone suffering, keep our mouth shut, build self-awareness, strengthens child-parent relationships, allows us to work together, and provides the framework of human morality (p. 160, 2006.) Students’ could use portraiture to build relationships with someone in a book. They could create portraiture of the character and their friend, family member, ect, showing the relationship they have between each other. “Good design can change the world” (Pink, p.81, 2006) Students need time to design and think outside the box, I would integrate postcards into my social studies lesson. Students could design postcards from a specific time period, their image could be from that time period and they message would tell about that time period. I would use pop-ups with science; they could create a pop-up of the food chain that could go in order. They could also make a pop-up of an animal habitat.
