N. Notes/additional reflections during or after teaching
the lesson:

I loved this lesson because it is great for fine motor
learning, it relates a technique and combines art history,
it allows for students to be creative but still it restricts them to specific motions. I liked how the
students could relate this lesson to life small details creates a whole picture type of thing. I also
liked how convenient this lesson was because it was easy to work with the Q-tips. I think if I ev-
er did this lesson in a classroom I would make a prompt instead of giving it free expression to
create whatever you wanted. I would maybe add something like think of your favorite food
and draw it or something of that nature to add some self-reflection or cultural integration. It
could be a start for students to share information about their cultural backgrounds, heritage,
religion, etc. which could be great.

L. Other: integration, art history, multicultural, visual culture, elements/principles, etc.
