Right Vs. Left Brain

Right Vs. Left Brain 

I found this lesson on Pinterest and decided to try it with my advanced art students.  I will definitely be using this lesson again.

  Lesson Overview: Students will explore the findings between what makes the right brain different from the left brain and how they assist in learning. Students will take a survey to learn about whether or not they are more right brained or left brained and use those findings to create an illustration about their right or left brains.

The lesson will be introduced through a power point presentation. Students will learn about how the right brain and the left brain serve different functions for learning.I encourage students to take notes and complete rough sketches they may use in their drawings.   They will then participate in a survey to view results on which side is stronger. By summarizing their findings, they will then use these ideas in their artwork

Development : Using the research found from the survey, students will create an illustration inspired by right vs left brain concepts. Using any 2d media, the illustration should be an artistic interpretation of their findings.
