Empathy and Art

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students watch an episode of the PBS show "Maya and Miguel" and examine how to express empathy with someone who has a disability. They discuss the episode, and create an art project using one hand only, or paint an object blindfolded and discuss how it feels to create art in this different way.
