So far this week I have done a TON more research. I'm try to find children that I can work with for this project. Hopefully some one will respond to me in the next week.
What I did this week:
I spent four hours reading the rest of The Art of Teaching Art to children. I also spent about three hours getting through the first half of Art as an Early Intervention Tool for Children with Autism. I also spent an hour or so reading Doing Art Together.
What I discovered: I discovered a ton of different ways I can work with children using art, not just photography. I also did some thinking about something I learned from some Lowenfeld readings last week. Since their are different stages in learning how to draw, maybe those continue while creating other artwork, such as photography? I'm not really sure exactly what way I want to go with my IP using all the information I have gathered so far, either work in multiple medias, let the children choose, or see if photography has as many changes as drawing does with Lowenfelds Theory.
What I should do next?
I plan on emailing different resources to see if their is anyway I can work with children volunteering in their field to meet and work with children. I'm going to start with U of M Autism and Communication Disorders center and then move on from their. I'm also going to work on my IP paper for Wednesday as well as do more research on Artists who inspire my work.
