3rd Grade - Lost in Rousseau's jungle
We studied the life and work of Henri Rousseau and create close up landscapes that focused on overlapping, value, texture and a full composition.

There are many ways to assess how the students are learning the information presented within the lessons. The most common way this is achieved is to base their progress on a rubric from teacher observations during the project and at the end along with a short quiz. For this project I decided to assess if they learned the concepts of the lesson with a one day lesson that asked they to flex their creative muscles. Their task was to create a cereal box cover where the design must show overlapping and a full composition.

2nd grade - Abstracted sculptures inspired from some of the greatest works of art
The students and I both had lots of fun with this project. The students enjoyed doing their own research and self directing a majority of the steps involved.
Here is how the project evolved:
- Choosing an artist: The students choose a biography of an artist that appealed to them to read in class. Next, they choose their favorite artwork by that artist to reproduce on hard cardboard in the medium of their choice.
- Elements of art: We really focused on learning the elements of art so that they could see how their artist made conscious decisions about each element.
- Cutting up the artwork: Then came the hard part. We cut their artwork in to smaller pieces and reassembled them as you would a puzzle.
- Sculpture: We reviewed the properties of a sculpture before the students took their art reproductions and created their own sculptures focusing on the stability of their structures, areas of interest on all sides and the negative space create around the edges.
