Teaching the feel of art | Rory Allweis | TEDxJaffa

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. TEDxJaffa partnered with The British Council [http://www.britishcouncil.org.il/en], which connects people with learning opportunities and creative ideas from the UK. BIRAX [http://www.britishcouncil.org.il/en/p...] (the Britain Israel Research and Academic Exchange Partnership) is a £10 million initiative of the British Council and British Embassy in Israel that funds cutting-edge research using stem cell therapies to tackle some of the world’s most dreadful diseases. Rory Allweis is, in her own words,an artist because she paints pictures. She began teaching children because of a lack of teachers during the Yom Kippur War. By the most amazing stroke of good luck, she found herself teaching in the Youth Wing of the Israel Museum, where there was a very special atmosphere of creativity, freedom and support. Rory allowed herself to develop and present ideas to children that she believed in. Mainly, that art must have a foundation based in feeling. Throughout the years she has insisted that teaching art requires compatibility to each person's direction so it can remain an individual expression. Rory delivers a spirited and inspiring talk about discovering how she wants to teach. Knowing that emotion is often her own inspiration for art, she found various ways to encourage children to get in touch with their emotions and express them visually. Rory's playful approach connects students with their own inner artist. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
