Autism Awareness

April is Autism Awareness Month, we are creating a variety of projects for the school in my adaptive art education classes. We created a banner using the puzzle pieces that is on display by the library.  The puzzle piece represents the diversity of autism and how science only understands pieces of ASD. While we see each piece, as a whole it is still a mystery. I combined the puzzle pieces with student artwork to further show how each individual with ASD is unique as are the students' artwork.

  

Ribbons have been made for the staff and students in the adaptive art education classes created t-shirts.We used contact paper cut into puzzle pieces and created shirts using soft fabric paint. The results were fantastic!  

Clay Wars

As a way of getting to know the properties of clay, we had clay wars today.  The students were broken into teams and given a challenge.  Then they had one minute to determine a plan with their group and three minutes for the challenge.  After, the students reflected to how the clay reacted during the challenge.  The challenge reinforced basic hand building techniques and the students made a lot of great connections about the elasticity of the clay. Our challenges were: Who could make the tallest freestanding structure, who could make the longest coil, who could make a perfect sphere, and who could make a balanced cube.
