Excel Ideas

Everyone knows how much I love one day workshops! So here's one you might have actually found interesting: Excel in the classroom.
Some ideas for classroom activities in the art room:
1. Have the students use Excel to chart a graph of their favorite colors. Students will design a survey of 6 different colors. Each student is to pick their favorite color. We will analyze the data and enter it into Excel. Then create a graph or pie chart.
2. Students will keep track an inventory of art supplies using Excel. Each semester we will count the number of paints, boxes of markers and crayons, brushes, paper, etc. and the students will mark it into an Excel spreadsheet. They will then see how much supplies were used throughout the year.
3. Students will use it to keep track of the art they have created. This list will include the date, title, and any opinions on the piece they made. They can use the list to reflect on the work they created at any time.
4. Students will create an Excel spreadsheet of important artists in history. This list will include the name of the artist, date of birth, location, important works created, important events, the genre of art created, and the date of death if applicable.
5. Students will chart the probability of getting certain colored legos in a box of legos.
