When you think of art, you think of bright paintings and elaborately carved sculptures, but that’s only half the story. Good art isn’t just something that’s pretty to look at, it’s something that’s thought-provoking. And this is something you need to consider when teaching art to young students. Of course, just handing them a blank sheet of paper to write about it on isn’t going to be productive. At any age, the dreaded ‘blank page’ can make inspiration hard to find. What you need, is something like this art reflection template resource. Printed onto a single sheet of A4, this template provides a structure to help them organize their thoughts. This art reflection template gives several prompts to get them thinking about art and what it means to them. This includes a question about what they believe art is about. Then it leads on to asking them what the benefits of learning about art are, in their opinion. Then it moves onto getting them to think about their personal experience of art. It does this by asking for their account of how they made their favourite piece of art. Resources like this art reflection template not only guide them with one particular piece of work. They also teach them useful points to consider the next time they do something similar.

Directions: Your first assignment is about getting over the fear of a blank book and allowing for freedom and creativity. You will simply be covering pages with backgrounds and borders that will be drawn over top of in future assignments. Each page can now be "used" and hopefully the white page syndrome of the sketchbook will fall by the wayside.
