It has been a transcurricular activity, involving children in Art, Geometry and Language, all in one.
1 Step: Let's admire Van Gogh's Art:emotional and empath moment
2 Step: Comparing different artists: let's have a look to other stimulating artists such as Picasso or African artists.What are the different ways to rapresent reality? What shapes can you see?
3 Step: Let's have a look to masks made with Geometry shapes. Where is the mouth, and the nose, and where are the eyes?
4 Step: Hands on activity: Let's cut out shapes and make funny faces!
5 Step: Let's make our sunflowers!
6 Step: Our Show!

I think pictures, drawings, photos, visual art in general is very important to keep the attention of my students and to facilitate sharing ideas. I teach French Literature and often I start my lessons warming up my students with a picture related to the subject I'm going to introduce them. They get involved immediately and take an active part in the lesson. Sometimes a famous painting can synthetise the elements of a literary and historical period and help them to understand and keep in mind even complex ideas.

It was "art and color."

every month we had a color on which to work we had to then to realize an activity related to art ... so when we worked on the blue, we sang together

the song IN BLUE BLUE PAINTED, when we worked on the white

we have achieved star of snow and with Orange we have created an autumn landscape ....

I love art but I've never been able to draw! My students are very good though. So I usually ask them to draw a logo for the project they are involved in and if we write stories I ask them to draw a picture for the story.

I use a lot of visual or audial input, when starting a lesson. There are different types of learners, so we have to accomodate them all. It's a starting point for a conversation, and enhances students' imagination.

“A picture is worth a thousand words.”
Our goal is to arouse students’ interest and promote their lateral thinking. How do we keep students engaged and motivated inside a classroom, especially when the topics are not easy to grasp from the students’ perspective? To effectively expose students to abstract concepts or theories, I employ the following 4 steps:

1. Introduce terminology before the theory itself.

2. Describe the procedure and environment in which the theory applies.

3. Illustrate the formulation of the theory.

4. Organize the materials and explore beyond the theory.

For each step, I make use of hand-drawn pictures to facilitate learning and to arouse students’ interest and imagination.
The key success factor in utilizing pictures effectively in our classroom is to get students involved and engaged with our drawings, to encourage them to imagine and visualize what is in the picture and, most importantly, what is not.

My class participates in an etwinning project whose objective is to explore works by authors like Kadinsky, Xul Solar, among others.
The project has allowed us to know what we think about art, to know various painters and their works, to vote on what we will explore, to reproduce their works and to identify what inspired them, what they have in common and what distinguishes them.
It has been very enriching and the students have shown a lot of interest and commitment

I think visuals in general and art are very useful to teach. I always ask my students to describe pictures, and use paintings in relation to literature, which I teach. Last year, while working on 19th century London with my 18 year old students, I asked a group to imagine they were the author of the painting "Seven dials", giving a talk about the reasons which made him decide to paint it, and the message he wanted to convey. I appreciated what they did very much.

Last year we did a very interesting activity with our 5th year classes using the story "The biggest flower in the World" by José Saramago. The activity was divided into four steps. First the students watched the illustrations from story, after they watched a short animation of the story. Then they had to reorganize the pictures according to the story. The third activity was to write on a petal shape paper a sentence saying what they felt about the story and the activity. Afterwards they wrote a different ending to the story. Each class had a flower built with the petals and at the end of the activity we put the flowers on the library's walls.

I think using visuals is important as they help students learn things much better. This is true especially with young ages, but not only. I very often resort to explaining the use of tenses by making them "visual" to my students - I use timelines in order to do so. things become clearer for them in this way.

The students described what they saw and made comments on the different features of people.

The students ended up saying that they like that there is diversity in our world.

Art is in us.
I have used art in all my classes although...I am so not good at Art ;-)
With my 1st and 2nd graders I use art to illustrate new vocabulary and with the rest of the classes I use Art in almost everything we do, to practice speaking and writing as well as to accommodate my materials to the needs and learning styles of my students. You can see somof the things we created with my students on my blog

YES. We can illustrate all our works. I just had an idea, a few minutes ago. In my literature class, I will ask my students to write in collaboration ( with MeetingWords tool) a poem about the Sunflowers painting of Van Gogh. Every student will write a line. Or another activity: We will create a Stormboard about SUNFLOWERS that will contain photos, videos, poems write by the students, creative artistical compositions, drawings, everything that will cross their minds about this topic.

# data[].attributes.body
We can illustrate our work. Everything is easier when we introduce pictures and videos. A picture can develop a student's creativity and imagination.  You can teach almost anything using pictures- even modal verbs!( showing them pictures of some people and asking them what they may be thinking about, etc) You can teach them directions, using maps and pictures, you can have them speak around a photo, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Art can be stimulating for a lot of activities with students as I said in the Tricider above. An idea would be that of working with colors especially with younger students. They can identify ,in small groups ,warm colors, primary colors cool or warm colors, complementary colors or secondary colors.Then build as many sentences as possible with the color category identified. With older students you can work on helping them to understand how  to read a painting . In a group , students can find information on the painter , on the artistic period in which he painted the Sunflowers, another group can find information on how Van Gogh draws inspiration from, what subjects  he uses , his technique of painting using a text where to find information etc: Another group can work on the author biography  to create a self-portrait of him using a given text about his life in which they have to rearrange the frame in the correct order. These are also CLIL activities for an interdisciplinary work with the Art , English and Italian teachers.
At the end of the collaborative work the groups can use a Padlet with a specific title Van Gogh "Sunflowers " in which they put their works . In this way they use the digital skills that students likes so much.

I like CLIL Art lessons in which you can learn about famous artists and their works of art. I also like to use pictures by famous painters to have the pupils describe the images: in this way they can practise the use of vocabulary related to image descriptions (on the left/right, in the middle, in the top left-hand corner, on both sides, in the foreground/background and so on) and they realize that it is not so difficult to describe simple images/photos and famous painting as well.
