The adage, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ can never be more accurate in this setting. Photos speak much more than words or text sometimes.
Joanna’s work is like a pebble thrown in the water: its splash reverberates in circles of emotion and thoughts that linger. How does she achieve this magic? There is an element of mystery, perhaps even to herself; it seems that when she makes art, she surrenders to her own creative powers; she creates art that invites us, the viewers, to enter a portal and get transported to her remarkable world.
Finally, self assessment and meaningful reflection for our younger IB PYP learners. Following on from the highly popular write and draw Learner Profile and Thinking Skills resources, this IB PYP write and draw resource will have your students reflecting and assessing their own progress in a fun, engaging and meaningful way as they become adept with the sub skills within the IB PYP Approaches to Learning Skills. Designed for Kindergarten up to Grade 2. •Thinking •Research •Communication •Social •Self Management • Through the concept of REFLECTION and the Learner Profile attribute of BEING reflective, the children are asked to analyse their own application of the sub-skills commonly relating to kindergarten up to grade 2. With editable templates, you can add your own success criteria and even co-create success criteria with the children, adding them to both the 5 Star Rubric format and the Reflect & Draw Score chart. Both formats of rubric will challenge your students to think critically and creatively, encouraging their voice and ownership and ultimately accountability with their own progress of the ATL Skills. The "Read, Draw, Write" style worksheet encourages students to read the words from the simple language within the success criteria, use them to create sentences to describe their drawings and to self-assess using the rubric too. Great to use with: •Focus skills within your units of inquiry •Reflection activities •Evidence of progressive skills development •Student/Peer/Teacher feedback •Self assessment of writing skills •Encouraging student agency •Student led conferences Each page provides space for the children to illustrate their own example and then to write a sentence about how they applied the specific skills. An image related to key words is included to help students generate ideas when writing about their creations. The rubric included on each sheet encourages self-assessment of writing as well! Win-win! An extra lined writing page has also been included at the end of the packet for differentiation, should they wish to write more. Just print this page on the back of any sheet to provide more writing space.

The Japanese illustrator known as Avogado6 uses the language everyone understands—and that is no language at all. It's probably because the delicate topics and complex emotions he conveys are too difficult to describe with words, so this artist chooses thought-provoking visual stories in his unique style. Most of his illustrations are like pills, each containing the flaws of our society and mental struggles. And I must admit, some of them are really hard to swallow. His emotion-fueled, dark, and disturbing illustrations talk about things you wish no one relates to; however, it's a pretty accurate, yet haunting, depiction of the depths of our world.
Why do even a small percentage of men still feel compelled to assert themselves by violating women?

These Photos Do An Amazing Job Of Showing Just How Ridiculous Life Can Be Sometimes
Our lives can't always be sunshine and blue skies. It's only after a bad period or experience, that we truly appreciate the warmth and the beauty of what is around, the things that really count. Indonesian Artist Nas and creator of these portraits, expressed this thought: "See the world in my own way". Emotions and their expressions are at the centre of who we are as humans. Not only do we have these feeling on the inside, but we are able to eternalise them; making the people around us able to pick up the signals, that signify how we truly feel. In a world connected like has never been in history, some people feel more alone than ever. Everything that has happened in the last six months, has enabled us to stop and think; truly look at the world around us, giving us a chance to decide what we want to keep of the old ways and what we should really strive to change. Nas' great portrait pencil drawings, remind us to pay more attention to the people that are around us; to recognise signs of distress, so that we can help wherever we are able to. It might look like I am starting the week on a sad note. I think it's quite the opposite, anything that can make the world a better place for others, will do it for us as well. Isn't that what we are looking for? I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead. Ps. I gave the images some titles. For more of Nas' work here on DesignStack, press this LINK.
