Art Class Made Easy

While observing an art class during my placement in a Grade 5 class I was introduced to "Art for Kids Hub". This amazing channel on YouTube is made up of Rob, his wife, and their four kids, who as a family love to draw and want to share it with the world. Their channel consists of dozens of step by step videos that teach you how to draw anything from nature to Disney characters as well as many tutorials for different seasonal and holiday inspired drawings such as Halloween and Christmas. 

This channel could be used as a great tool as a teacher when doing Art class due to the variety of options that it offers whether it's used as a series option for instruction or as a fun holiday class activity. These videos will appeal to many types of learners as you get the visual and auditory instruction all while putting it into practice. As well, these tutorials are done with both an adult and child drawing, showing the diversity in everyone's artistic styles. 

Seeing these videos being put into action in the classroom was truly fun and interesting. The students all appeared to be engaged, they were committed and focused on their drawings, while also having fun. They were able to collaborate and give friendly feedback to their classmates and were able to see the different ways everyone interprets the instructions. 

As someone who is a visual learner and also enjoys more creative, artsy pursuits, I would have loved to see something like this in the classroom as a student.
