Ways of Knowing: Exploring Artistic Representation of Concepts
Duggan, Timothy J.
Gifted Child Today, v30 n4 p56-63 Fall 2007
Teachers have the ability to give students opportunities to produce alternative, artistic responses to concepts they learn in school. When a student writes a poem for a character in an assigned story or engage in other activities, the classroom becomes a more interesting space, and students think in new ways. For gifted children, such opportunities can mean the difference between an enriched, challenging experience and just another dull day in class. Differentiated instruction can provide the context for artistic representations of knowledge that show many ways of knowing and engage gifted students in meaningful learning construction. This article describes the many ways in which students can benefit from differentiated instruction. This article also describes how teachers can encourage artistic production among their students.
