Here is my TPACK Quest Site- https://sites.google.com/site/mclementtrackquestportfolio/home
Hello, my name is Madeline and I am a Brock Teacher Candidate in the Junior/Intermediate division. My teachable is English and I hope to also add on a second teachable in history and complete an AQ to teach high school.
I have always loved the arts, including music, drama and the visual arts. For the past two summers I have worked at a specialized arts summer camp, where I taught these areas to students aged 4-12. I knew this passion for the arts would always play a prominent role in my life, including being part of my teaching career. I want to foster this passion in my students, so as to gain skills in critical thinking, creativity, and engaging with diverse ways of seeing the world. With this in mind, my genius hour is going to focus on arts based learning.
My Genius Hour
I recently downloaded an app called Procreate, which is used to create digital art. I want to learn how to use this app to create digital drawings and explore the further applications it could have in an educational setting. Second, I want to use this app to create the illustrations for a children's book I wrote, creating a fully finished product. I hope to gain digital skills that can be applied to my teaching, as well as strengthen my passion for writing and art.
My Genius Hour Question
How can I use the app Procreate to create digital illustrations to add into a children's book I have previously wrote? Goals
- learn how to use Procreate to complete digital drawings
- use this knowledge to create four illustrations
- complete my genius hour blog
Next Steps
Week 2: Watch four YouTube videos and create a guided drawing (Learning Stage)
Week 3: Practice using the app based on learning from last week (Practice Stage)
Week 4: Plan four illustrations, and complete rough drawings (Planning Stage)
Week 5:Complete final copies of four illustrations
Week 6:Complete final posts of project and TEDtalk

Pinterest
My Pinterest includes an 'about me' page that shows five images that represent my interests. The page includes art as my passion which is one of the reasons I chose an art focused genius hour.
