Maybe a particular prompt will get their creative juices flowing, or a task will give them more shading practice before a final artwork. Students also like consistency so setting this up as a routine is key.Įxplicitly tell students how this is not busywork or “just” an extra activity so that you gain their buy-in. Students do them, and there are no other options. Start from the beginning by making warm-ups and closures non-negotiable. If a student misses a warm-up or closure activity, they can do it as an early finisher activity later in the period or next class.
Warm-ups and closures, for the most part, are student-directed activities. Accommodate or excuse late students and early dismissals.Here are Chelsea’s top seven tips when it comes to implementing these activities in your art room: Chelsea reminds teachers of all content areas that warm-up and closure activities are so valuable because “the first and last thing get remembered well.” Setting students up for success with the “first and last thing” includes building a routine and strong expectations. Chelsea applies her experience and expertise as a middle school art teacher and instructional coach to our FLEX Collections and PRO Packs.

Warm-ups, bellringers, hooks, openers, do nows, and anticipatory sets.
