MAKING CONNECTIONS OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

social trends

TikTok always has video trends (recently Adult Swim video promos got very creative). Maybe not engaging in this specific one, but the idea of students doing a similar task, but in their own way (like above)

There is an instagram trend where people re-create an art piece in their personal art style (usually a character). Students could participate with the teacher providing creating prompt or using an existing piece (maybe something well-known but also avoiding appropriation). If consent is given, this could even be posted to a class instagram by the teacher (turning comments off) but for safety maybe just using board-approved sites.

#Inktober uses prompts to draw something new everyday, this could be done in class. It might be interesting to reuse the same prompts (5 prompts over 4 weeks) and see how the drawings evolve

A few years ago there was a "Draw my Life" trend on YouTube, students could tell their life story in a painting or comic style but with the change of using no audio/text

Community

Have students brainstorm ways they can create art for the community (ex. murals, paintings as gifts, photographing the community, portrait of residents, environmental installations)

Ontario Art Education Association contest

Canadian Schools Art Contests

Oshawa Peony Contests (photos, paintings)
