We are well into the first quarter now, and Fall Break is on the horizon.
All students started the year in art drawing a self portrait for a pre-assessment. I use this as a guide to know where they are at the beginning of the year, and what skills I need to work on with them as the year progresses. Their pre-assessment self portrait will be in their data notebooks, so be sure to check them out during ILPs.
This quarter we have been focusing on drawing in all classes and will transition into paint second quarter. Big kids have been using their drawing skills to create their art portfolios. Kindergarten is still learning art room procedures, and how to use the art tools properly. First and second grade are well on their way making their art books.
It's been a great start, and I am looking forward to the rest of the year with these awesome artists!
