WPU Practicum Student creates a "SPACE" Lesson plan using STEAM

WPU K-12 Art Education Practicum Student: Marjiana Korunoska created and taught a SPACE inspired art lesson in Mrs. Simon's SOIT art class recently.

Ms. Korunoska will complete her practicum experience in December, and will return as a student teacher to SOIT next semester. 

 Using what she has learned about STEAM at SOIT this year, Ms. Korunoska asked students to learn facts about artist, Robert McCall, and about the solar system, including the planets and their orbits in the solar system, before embarking on creative art-making with the students.

The lesson had a clear objective keyed to the NJ Core Curriculum Standards in Art.  It also had a Demon-stration of Learning (DOL) that evaluated whether students had achieved that objective. 

The art lesson included the use of drawing and 

painting as well as science, and was multi-media.
