We have just about survived our second week of school. The students are doing good and starting to remember the school rules when going to and from art class; we still need a little practice but I think they'll have it all figured out soon.
This week each student worked on creating their portfolio that will be used to store each of the paper art projects they create during the year. The first side of the portfolio includes a minimum of 5 individual drawings that tell me a little more about them - their favorite things, what they like to do for fun, etc.
The seconod side of the portfolio is a Op Art project they did using their first names. They each wrote their names in the middle of the portfolio page and then used a minimum of 3 different crayon colors to complete the project.
Many of the students only need a few more minutes to work or are finishing up on these projects. Next week they should be finished. We will do a quick review of some of the art elements, principles, and art supplies.
Because our 4th and 5th grade classes have upcoming field trips the 6th grade classes will be doing a 6th grade only project throughout September as well.
It is a lot of fun getting to spend time with your children and seeing their creativity come to life!
