On October 13th, 2011 Police Officer Trevor Slot, husband of my co-worker and friend, Kim, was killed in the line of duty. In addition to Kim, Trevor left behind his two young daughters and many, many friends. Students at our school created this sculptural work in memory of Officer Slot.

Hi Kari,
ReplyDeleteI came upon your blog because I got a hit when searching "teaching abstract expressionism to special needs." I teach at a school for the visually impaired and I have 2 small classes of special needs VI high schoolers. I struggle with appropriate lessons/activities because there is a vast difference in the abilities of the students from almost non-verbal/unengaged to very engaged but immature "view" of the world. I like doing abstract expressionist works with them (collage, painting, textural mixed media) but I wonder where/how far that can go; can I teach meaningful expression or is that inherent; how crafty do I get with them; and what is the art message I want them to walk away with at the end of the day/year? Thoughts?
