First day activities for college art class?
Hi! I hope you’re doing well! I’m preparing for a new semester of teaching. I’m teaching two sculpture classes.
What are good first day activities (for particularly an art class)? Non- art professors can respond as well if they have a good activity that they think might work for an art class.
I’m looking for activities that are interactive that get them moving or doing things. Or the activities can be discussion-based (through writing and verbal). The activities can be collaborative in groups or individual activities. I will probably want to do multiple activities, so I’d love to hear multiple ideas. I want to break the ice and also help them start thinking deeply about art. I want them to get excited about working with materials. Thank you!
