How do I motivate my students to create their own original art work? How to I get my students to start thinking creatively? I have used I See, Wonder and Think activity combined with three ways to think about art as a spring board for motivating students. Imitationalism: This is a belief that art work should be made to represent what we see in the real world. Sometimes it is also referred to as Realism.Formalism: This is the belief that art work should focus on the Language of Art. The artist focus is on using the Elements of Art and the Principles of design as the main focus of the art work. Sometimes referred to as the form, or formal aspects of the work.Emotionalism: This is the belief that art work should express the artist emotion or create an emotional reaction or response from the viewer. This is some times referred to as expressionistic.

Writing activities are an essential part of quality literacy practices in early care and education settings.

Welcome to the first, biannual Archival Educators Roundtable (AER) Newsletter! In 2016, the Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC) brought together like-minded professionals who use primary sources for public programming, outreach, and education, and the AER was born. As archival education is a still-developing field, the AER created a community where people could share their successes, challenges, and works in progress through casual workshops.AER’s network of educators, archivists, and archival education allies has since expanded its culture of support beyond the biannual meetings here at the RAC through social media, event attendance, joint publications, and email correspondence.It is our hope that this AER Newsletter will further extend the table, so speak, reaching more colleagues as we spotlight educators, and showcase the projects, challenges, and successes of archival education. Just as the aim of AER meetings is to ensure that all perspectives on primary source education are honored, we encourage you, our dedicated AER audience, to reach out and contribute your insights to future AER Newsletters! Many thanks to our first issue's contributors--we couldn't have done it without you.--Marissa Vassari, Archivist and Educator, Rockefeller Archive CenterElizabeth Berkowitz, Outreach Program Manager, Rockefeller Archive Center

Activities For Post-Secondary Educators and Students
Short Description:
Drawing in class is often seen as a distraction to learning. We are here to change that, with a series of activities designed to get both students and teachers benefiting from the power of visual thinking through drawing.
Long Description:
Communicating visually, through drawing, is a core practice to many fields and endeavors. However, in the world of post-secondary educators, it can be seen as fraught with peril. The barrier of one’s perceived drawing ability, on top of managing a lecture or facilitating a discussion, often means educators are hesitant to take advantage of a visual practice to its most benefit. This is a missed opportunity, but the situation is changing. More people are realizing the power of drawing as an extension of thinking, taking advantage of how the act of drawing generates new ideas and reveals unseen connections.
Quite simply, Drawing in the Classroom, generates learning.
