In my art class, they taught us the benefit and skill of teaching our students of using both their right and left hands together. It helps them strengthen their hand and eye coordination, spatial visualization, and helps them understand the concept of symmetry. I first had them experiment in their sketch books, and then we transferred it to making our Christmas trees 圣诞树 !

I know art and testing each have their own purpose and function. However, why not combine the two? There are so many ways to assess a student's knowledge, and I know standardized tests have their time and place. However, I have found through art that not only can I assess their character recognition, but I can also see the connections they have made to the character. Making connections not only strengthens the retention, but also enhances joy in learning the language as they are using both sides of the brain! |
