Play Art Toolkit: A Flexible Art-Integrated Guide for Parents to Teach at Home
Description: The Play Art Toolkit is a card toolkit designed for K-5 students that combines art-integrated pedagogy with the Elementary School Learning Standards established by the NYC Department of Education. This toolkit aims to assist parents in teaching their children at home in a flexible teaching style that can be adjusted to suit their individual preferences. The toolkit consists of a step-by-step guide that follows seven steps: preparation, guide, look, know, think, create, and share. Background: Chia-Hsuan(Cathy) Tung's thesis project, Well-rounded: Using Art to Enhance Interdisciplinary Learning, sheds light on the potential of art-integrated education to promote the development of hard and soft skills in children. Cathy highlights that traditional education, confined within classroom walls, can be mundane and unstimulating for children to engage with. Conversely, incorporating resources from art museums as a location-based learning tool can provide an interactive and engaging experience that presents opportunities for interdisciplinary learning. This approach can also address the budgetary constraints public schools face in providing adequate art education, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated budget cuts.
