Creativity in the Classroom

4/24/2017

I put together this short movie below to showcase how we infuse creativity and technology in Dryden's Art Program. This video has been included in the K12 Online Conference collaborative video about creativity crafted by Samuel Wright in Vienna. It includes a peek into almost a dozen international educators' classrooms. Learn more.

Allow us to Illustrate (the Fugleflick)

11/20/2013

After two and 1/2 months of singing, storyboarding, animating, filming and editing
we are finally ready to release our long awaited for and completely amazing new Fugleflick, "Allow us to Illustrate". These 10 filmmakers took on the challenge of explaining the importance of illustrations and their connection to literacy in this upbeat and entertaining short video. This group was a part of beta testing the new Green Screen app by DOINK. They planned the film to fully harness the power of this amazing app as they drew illustrations in the DOINK animation app and backgrounds in sketchbook express to layer all together with live footage filmed before our classroom green screen. It's amazing how simple it was for students to interact with their art and animation via this app. Watch the final movie below. They also have a karaoke page where you can sing along with the music and lyrics.

Filmmaking is a wonderful exercise in collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity.
Watch the behind the scenes video to get a glimpse of the work that went into this production. You can learn more about making Fugleflicks by watching my K12 Online presentation here as well.

Making and Sharing Fugleflicks

A scene from a Fugleflick in progress

Do you ever wonder if your students own the learning? They definitely would if they created the teaching resources. Fugleflicks are student-created, art-related movies made by kids for kids to teach something about art. Not only do these short entertaining resources inform our school population but those involved in creating them have a tremendously rich learning experience. Take a look behind the scenes into our process for movie-making with small groups, full classes, and the whole school. Find out how we share what we make with authentic audiences to raise the level of craftsmanship and engagement. Hopefully you will find many takeaways from this presentation regardless of the content you want your students to learn as you put them in the director's chair to use their creativity and apply curricular content for the benefit of all. Below is my K12 Online Conference presentation or find it at this link. I was also interviewed by Carol Broos for a segment of her K12Online Conference presentation regarding the Triple Threat: Music, Visual Art, and Media. I shared a few thoughts about why I believe movie making is a great way to deliver content. Watch her whole video to learn about transliteracy.

We have a collection of Student Created-Art Related Fugleflicks that you can freely access. I have an index on my wiki here. You can view our award winning videos here. And there are plenty of Fugleflicks set up for Karaoke fun with your class here as well.
Over the summer I put together two Fugleflick books. One is a QR code scan book to help your students quickly find their favorite movie and watch it on their device. The other book is an eBook to load to your class iPad. Explore them both below.

My K12Online Conference presentation, Teaching Art in a Technology Rich and Connected Classroom went live today. Send you responses online with the hashtag #k12online12 and mention @fuglefun You can view it from the conference site or watch the video below. This is similar to the presentation I gave at the USSEA conference this summer.

Presentation Description: Integrating technology, web 2.0, and interactive tools in the art room gives students the opportunity to enhance their 21st-century learning skills, practice creative problem-solving, and develop higher-level thinking as they create art. Showcasing student work through online venues opens your art room doors to an authentic global audience, connect students with others in collaborations, and enriches learning for all. I will share stories and examples from my technology rich elementary art room and how our online connections have enthralled, enriched and engaged my students.
