I found a video about my topic, drawing, on YouTube. This video is an interview with Shelagh Keeley, who is a visual artist & 2017 Canada Council laureate. In the video, she shared her definition and understanding of drawing with the audience. I put the video to the PPT of the drawing as an additional resource.
Video requires my students to interact with learners-content. This will not force them to make an inherent response. Just like attendance, no one can guarantee that every student who attends will interact. Students may respond by doing activities and thinking about topics. It’s important to think about the topic because when I first came into contact with painting, my thinking was limited I think painting must have complete and standard materials. But the protagonist in the video described the drawing as a language, a concept of nonverbal communication, and she used the wall as paper, the hand or body as a pen, and wax as paint in her early days. At that time, I understood that expression and thinking were more important in drawing. It doesn’t matter how professional the materials you prepare are. But as a beginner, I still ask students to explore each material by themselves. After they have watched the video, I would suggest that students try to draw a stroke and make collages, which not only exercise their drawing ability but also let them think about what they want to express. This activity helps to improve students’ creativity, imagination, and ability to think alone. I will create one or more links in the Google form for students to upload their work, and I will give feedback promptly. Considering that there are English learners and those with hearing impairment among the students, the video I searched has subtitles and there is a transcript in the video introduction.
