How to Help Students Find the Answer

 

While learning about creating visual texture:
student: is mine good?
me: Do you have at least 2 textures?
student: I think
me: What are they
student: a scarf
me: what texture is that?
student: I don’t know
me: What does a scarf feel like?
student: soft

so your texture is soft, what’s your other texture?

student: black
me: black is a color
student: mountains
me: mountains are not a texture, what do mountains feel like?
student: rough

me: so your 2 textures are soft and rough

the art of patience and questioning…now I’m going to have some wine
