Sing and move to remember

One of the greatest ways to help remember an art concept is through song! It really helps keep art class fun, and it truly gets the vocab in your head. add video and movement- even better!

Here is a list of some songs for teaching art:

I found a lot on you tube that had great videos with them. These were great for the last couple of weeks of school.
 My young students always love HarryKindergartens' Colors! Colors! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-71cKZhnEOA

I especially love any fugleflicks- by Mrs. Fuglestad, an art teacher in Arlington Heights, IL
this one is "Glues Blues" http://www.youtube.com/user/Lumbricia#p/a/f/2/cQL1YJ672Iw

Or check them out on her wiki:  http://fugleflicks.wikispaces.com/Fugleflick_Index
or, her school site:  http://www.sd25.org/~tfuglestad/art/Drydenart.html

I've posted many other links on my teacher site for my students to use this summer- and for you too!
