Double-Sided Easel
Give enthusiastic young artists an opportunity to create some masterpieces for the classroom on the Double-Sided Easel. Here two children can draw on the chalkboard, draw with colored markers, or finger paint or brush paint an original work. This sturdy double easel is made out of easy-to-clean red plastic. One side is a blackboard, and the other side is a Dry Erase board. A clip is on each side to hold art paper for painting or drawing.
The easel is 23 inches long, 26 inches wide, and 42 inches high.
A large plastic caddy holds several containers of paint, dry-erase pens, and brushes. The easel folds flat for easy storing.
With the emphasis on math and science instruction, the arts sometimes get pushed aside. Some schools are having to cut back on art instruction because of budget constraints. Despite these cut backs, art education is important and<a href="http://www.cptoys.com/cgi-bin/cptoys_cgi.sh/WService=cptoys/cptoys.com/school/2.0/category.htm?dept_id=Art">arts and crafts</a> projects have many benefits for the child. Children develop self esteem when they can stick with a project and finish it. It feels good to look back and admire a finished art project. If it did not turn out as expected, the young artists can always analyze what went wrong, what changes are needed, and do it over, hopefully with better results the second time.
Art encourages planning. Sometimes the painting will be completely spontaneous, one form of artistic expression. However, other times the child will need to plan. In school, career, and personal life, planning is the basis for achievement, so it is valuable for children to learn to plan without the intervention of an adult. Before they begin painting, they can visualize the final outcome, think about how to achieve the end result, and then begin painting.
Art teaches children how to deal with frustration and disappointment. Sometimes the project does not turn out as planned, and the child needs to learn to accept that and figure out how to have more success next time.
Art offers an opportunity for self-evaluation, one of the most complex thought processes. Self-evaluation is a challenge because one's tendency, depending on temperament, is to be too easy or too hard on oneself. In the classroom, a self-evaluation grid will assist the artist in forming an objective evaluation of his piece. It is also difficult for children to evaluate their peer's work. They want to be kind, not hurt feelings, and so the tendency is to say that work was "super." The teacher can encourage the kids to make one suggestion for improvement.
