Art Talk!

When the lesson starts, my students will "report" to me about their family, school, games, movies and everything happening around them! The most amusing thing is they love to do it altogether and make the classroom very noisy! I stayed calm and would ask them to keep quiet first, raise their hands and do it one at the time! I would point at them one by one, as they'd reported, then times up for "reporting"! Eventually, I started my lesson!

Phew, it is always not easy to calm down the active brunch of children. The only thing that keep them quiet is to work on art! Art calms them down and work on their visual on a simple piece of paper and with colouring materials. Isn't that amazing! Of course, there are students who will get distracted or carried away easily. I have to pull them back to their work. What I could do is to let them express their speech right after their work, this will work as an communication between themselves and teacher and also understand their created visual by telling us. It is always a way to encourage the shy ones to stand front and talk about their work too, that will take times, the time will come when they are ready. I'm sure this will build up their bravery and personality.

My target for my little artists is not only their artwork talks by itself but also be able to present themselves to the audiences. Grow strong my little artists!
