The video is teaching students how to draw properly and what is the meaning of composition in art. The lecture delivered through computer technology and make interactions with online resources like YouTube videos. Some media and video may “push” learners to respond like pop quiz when you finish you can continue to play the video, but this video did not force learners to do any pop quiz or response anything. It was playing very smoothly using good examples combined with visual explanations.
Students need to learn something after watching this video, so they need to take several notes when they are watching this video. I would like to make an activity to create a high-quality lecture. The best learning environment is mixing material interaction, teacher and student interaction, and students with students’ interaction together. People will gain more interest through a fun activity. Firstly, students will need to watch this video either during their own time or people can watch together in class on a zoom lecture. According to the article “Handwriting vs. Typing: How to Choose the Best Method to Take Notes”, people should take notes by hand to force the brain to involve “deeper cognitive-processing”. Actions and movements may activate your brain while writing notes down. Secondly, due to understanding, students need to draw a picture based on what they learn and all the materials that teach in the video like showing what is balance and how to use color to catch the audience’s eyes. When students did their work, teachers put them into small groups as a breakout room and let them share their drawings. The group needs to choose the best work that represents the idea and post on a classroom discussion board that everyone can see it. Through the second part, teachers will have to check on each group to clarify some misunderstanding concepts and lead the students in the right way. Finally, teachers will give every group feedback about their advantages and disadvantages. Art is a creative design, so it is hard to criticize but students need to understand the basic concepts. Sometimes it can hard to explain through technologies, but we can create an office hour or TA can help with that through zoom.
The activity may take some time to work on it and teachers need to involve during a group meeting in case some group has questions to ask. However, if this takes too much time, we can provide a lab section that TA helps to answer some questions during the group meeting. Interactions will be worth for long term learning habits and understanding those concepts with full supports. This design can be useful for both the classroom environment and online lecture.
