Fingerings lesson reflection


Last Tuesday, a group taught a lesson about symmetrical art that used the human body as a tool to create. We were given chalk and charcoal to use with our hands on black and white paper and create abstract and figurative pieces of art. I thought this lesson was interesting, but it had some flaws for it as well.

My real concern is the age level for this lesson. I can see middle school kids doing this, and possibly younger. But I feel a high school (or up) level might get bored or think it's too easy. I found myself finishing at a rapid pace, and while we were given multiple sheets of paper to do more and more, i would've gotten bored in a highschool setting of doing repetitious assignments. However, I did think it was quite interesting about using the body to create art. Most people think finger painting and assume it's for toddlers, but it was new to see an older group work with their hands to create 2D work. So at the same time of me wondering about the age group, I really enjoyed the new inventive way to work.
