"What are we doing today?" This question is enthusiastically asked the moment the students arrive at my door. With a look of excitement and wonder they peer into the room upon entering, to catch a glimpse of the Smartboard or the materials set on the tables.
My students are creative and show effort in making their artwork.
They benefit from positive reinforcement and encouragement to make artistic choices throughout the art making process. Students become self motivated learners and artists.
My Project
My students will use the drawing, construction paper, and watercolor paper to create self portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, abstract art and more. Since it is a disposable material you can never have enough paper! It has a variety of uses and can be transformed in so many ways! It can be painted, drawn on, folded, cut, and glued.
Students enjoy using quality paper to draw and paint!
They notice how the thickness and brightness of paper allows for a successful drawing and painting experience. One way to give students a positive experience in art making is to provide them with the materials they need to succeed!
