Feb 8th Blog: Diverse Learners

Honestly, I have not put a tremendous amount of time into this since Regina, unlike City High etc, is less diverse. I have one African American student and four Korean students but the rest are American. I do suppose though I have thought about this in terms of artistic ability. Some students are farther along than others in this area. To accommodate for this, I'll spend some extra time assisting those students who are struggling and try my best to encourage them in their work. All the projects I have chosen involve students picking their own images to work with, and this creates opportunity for variation in skill level. More advanced students can pick more difficult images, or do another image if they finish their first project. I also make sure to teach simple skills like color theory and focal point, etc, even though some students may already have this knowledge, to make sure everyone is on the same playing field.
