[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Keeping a child with high learning potential engaged with the curriculum can require the interweaving of multiple subjects, levels and brain regions at the same time. Here are some inspiring ideas to stimulate the young film-maker, musician, mathematician, artist, journalist, politician, poet and more!<\/p>\n

Children with high learning potential are described by Potential Plus UK as including children with: exceptional abilities; the ability if not necessarily the opportunity to achieve; dual or multiple exceptionality (gifted with a special educational need or disability); profoundly gifted (approximately 0.01% of children).<\/p>\n

When dealing with bright children, try not to let them get overwhelmed with too many sensory inputs. When they are comfortable, these learners can create incredible work as they challenge several skill areas simultaneously.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/gxN2K8Liz0g?t=7″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Van Gogh and Kandinsky Go Multimedia!<\/h3>\n

A thoughtful application of film brings to life a child\u2019s relationship with more \u2018traditional\u2019 art. Instead of culminating in the creation of a video (as with LitFilmFest resources, below), this creative journey starts<\/em> with a film of amazing, living walkthroughs of artistic works put to narrative sounds and music.<\/p>\n

You can find Van Gogh’s pictures in the film: No Blue Without Yellow<\/strong><\/em> by Maciek Janicki \u00a0at https:\/\/youtu.be\/gxN2K8Liz0g<\/a> and find out more about how it was constructed at https:\/\/www.maciekjanicki.com\/the-life-of-van-gogh\/<\/a><\/p>\n

and Kandinsky in the Alfred Imageworks film: Stereoscopic for Exhibition \u2013 Kandinsky<\/strong> https:\/\/youtu.be\/C2htMUoXhCQ<\/a><\/p>\n

To really bring Van Gogh alive using multimedia and an optical illusion, try out this amazing effect:\u00a0 Starry Night Illusion<\/strong> – https:\/\/youtu.be\/LFqnyeufcjs?t=10<\/a>\u00a0 [It is important to check first that your learner(s) do not have any sensitivities that would rule out experiencing this.]<\/p>\n

Project Suggestions<\/h4>\n

Tie these videos into one or several areas of the curriculum to really reap learning gains. You could:<\/p>\n
