The Art of Education

Art Pong

I had purchased ping pong balls at the Dollar store, and with a fine point permanent marker (Sharpie) wrote questions on the balls that related to the Elements of Art and Principles of Design.  As a teacher, you could add questions related to your content area, or even chapter questions to help students review for a test.  I then separated the class into two teams, and they took turns throwing the ping pong balls into the cups.  If a ball landed in a cup on their side, they would dig out the ball and answer the question.  We have been looking at contemporary artists of Kehinde Wiley, Kara Walker, and in the video, Hank Willis Thomas' Afro-American Express is on the overhead and currently being analyzed.

Art Education teaches more than color and lines and my students learn techniques and tricks that are transferable to their future classroom whatever their subject matter. 
 
Note: My college students took great pleasure in this activity while laughing and giggling.  I told them if they are good at this activity they could blame it on art class.
