42. Balance balance as a design principle art lesson plan for high school teachers http://www.art-lesson-plans.com/balance.html

Balance An aesthetically pleasing disposition of elements in composition can be achieved in myriad ways. For example, visual balance can be symmetrical, asymmetrical or radial. In symmetry, a formal kind of balance, both halves of a work are like mirror images of each other. They are exactly alike or so similar that you see them as matched. Symmetrical balance is used to express ideas such as stability, uniformity and formality. In asymmetrical, or informal balance the halves of a work are balanced like a seesaw. A large shape on the left side might be balanced by two smaller ones on the right side. The feeling of balance comes from the importance or weight of the things in each half of the work. For example, a small area with bright colors can have as much visual weight and interest as a large area with a dull color. Rough textures and dark colors seem to be visually heavier than smooth textures and light colors. Asymmetrical balance is used to express action, variety and informality.In radial balance, parts of a design seem to move toward or away from a central point.

A BETTER WAY TO TEACH READING You'll find the Tamparead's ReadingKEY Program to be the easiest and fastest method for improving reading ability in any child or adult. You'll observe far more progress in far less time using our very special techniques for simultaneously building vocabulary and fluency. HOW SHOULD READING BE TAUGHT? For a student to learn to read effectively, he/she must first learn proper phonics and word-attack skills for being able to "figure-out" (decode) unknown words. The reading program should then build upon these skills to teach students the specific words that are common for their current grade and reading level in school. Only when this is accomplished, would it then make sense to move on to comprehension question and answer exercises. Doing it the other way around, results in slower progress and is a recipe for disaster for 30-40% of school age children. TRY IT FREE Try the first nine weeks of any grade level absolutely free . You'll then see why teachers and entire school districts are now using the Tamparead's ReadingKEY Program to improve student reading ability in ways that other reading programs could never accomplish !

Close Do you enjoy poetry but your grandchildren, children, younger siblings or nieces and nephews don't? Here are five ways to help children like poetry. Read them poetry that both of you will like (hint: Homer is not a good idea). Doing this is a way to keep you from being bored and the child from being bored. If you don't like mother goose rhymes, don't read them. There are many good childrens books, that may peak your interest and theirs. Authors like A. A. Milne, Bruce Lansky, and Shel Silverstein are good places to start. Just read things you enjoy. As a general rule if you don't enjoy it, they won't, because they see no enthusiasm coming from you. Not to say, that they will always like what you like, but you do need to enjoy what you teach. Play rhyming games with them.

Small school and small learning community programs have tremendous potential to serve as catalysts for the renewal of America's public schools. If new Charter School programs are centered around fundamental improvements in the delivery of instruction and in the design of curricular experiences themselves, they can serve as laboratories for a District's regular public schools. Small schools that set their sights on creating meaningful educational experiences are Charter Schools mastery learning charter schools that promote scholarship, personal advanced placement responsibility and enthusiasm for learning. The point here is that in the Charter Schools that I envision, these charter school curriculum attitudes would not be so test scores charter school performance much mandated or required as they would be natural outgrowths of a school culture and a curriculum design that presents students with appropriately charter schools sequenced personal and academic challenges, charter school development that invites them to participate, and that licenses them to inquire. essential , and that it has value and meaning.
