First week back in the Art Studio...I missed this place and judging by the Rartists’ energy level, I think they missed it too! :) The theme for this week was “We have to know where we’ve been before we can decide where we’re going.” We looked at our Studio Cards (a card that each student uses to keep track of which media studio they worked in each week) to determine where we spent most of our time. That reflection led us into the discussion of which studios have overlapping skills and techniques and lend themselves to shifting between easiest. We then looked at our Studio Habits of Mind (SHOM) self-reflection sheets and goal that we filled out last May to see if those goals are still relevant now....that’s ALOT of deep thinking for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders!!
Finally I reminded each of my amazing Rartists that their Art Studio is focused on a 3 sentence curriculum: The Students are Artists. The Art Room is their Studio. What Do Artists Do? It’s gonna be an amazing year - I can just feel it!
