Art Lesson Plan Making Google Drawing

THE WHY

Google Drawings is an online tool for creating diagrams, flowcharts, headers, and other images. Drawings allows you to create and edit pictures by using shapes, text boxes, lines, arrows, tables, other images, and more. These images can be downloaded as JPG, PNG, PDF or SVG files. They can easily be copied and pasted into Google Docs, Slides or Forms.

The brain-based research of Marcia Tate and others supports the use of visuals to incorporate new learning into memory. Recall and recognition is enhanced by presenting information in both visual and verbal form.

Google Drawings can be used for formative assessment and nonlinguistic representations such as: graphic organizers, timelines, diagrams, pictographs, and flowcharts. It can be used to foster creativity and critical thinking. Students can use drawings to design, apply concepts, prove, compare, organize, categorize, classify, contrast, simplify, and identify relationships. It teaches communication skills as students work to create nonlinguistic models. Having visual representations of concepts or processes available to learners to pursue and walk through at their own pace is important.

Since these drawings can be easily shared within Google Drive, this provides easy collaboration and a way to provide students with effective feedback.
