I’m excited to have everyone back in the Banks Art Room for another year of creativity and learning! We started the year by meeting some new faces, welcoming back old ones and refreshing our memories of the procedures and rules of the art room.
Second and Third grade started off the year as videographers, using flip cameras to create videos showing others how to use the art room materials and perform art room tasks correctly. Hopefully we will see some of these videos up on the blog soon.
Fourth and Fifth grade started their year by creating the sketchbooks that they will use for a year-long sketchbook assignment. The assignments in these sketchbooks will be completed on days when there is a sub in the artroom or when they have extra time after finishing other projects. These assignments will challenge students to examine different types of artists, styles, and methods of art making, explore different media and think critically when creating their own art and critiquing the art of others.
I look forward to another year, and can not wait to see what all of my wonderful Banks Road artists come up with!!!
Be on the lookout on the blog for art happenings in the school as well as in our community and around the world!
