I have a very talented group of diverse, low income students. Our school community consists of Asian, Black, Hispanic, and Caucasian students ranging from preschool to eighth grade.
With at 98.4% attendance rate, these students are eager to gain more knowledge every single day by coming to school ready to learn.
I personally see each student once a week for a one hour class period where they receive a high quality art education. With an art room geared to choice based art making, my students are constantly inspiring me with their critical thinking and creative imaginations.
My Project
Including math in the art room is an essential part of my curriculum for all students. While most of the time it comes naturally into the projects, I do spend some time focusing on math specific lessons especially in my symmetry unit.
During this unit, students create a personal name design that demonstrates the vision of radial symmetry.
Students begin with creating their name and must trace their design multiple times for the design to be complete.
Every year I struggle with finding space at the window for students to be able to see their drawings through the paper. These light boxes will not only allow more students to work at one time, but they would even allow me to use art paper rather than printer paper for the completed projects.
Beyond the benefits for the symmetry project, these light tables will also suit the needs of the greater population and can serve as a choice base center where my youngest students can practice tracing lines.
