The students at Brown and Lincoln are doing an amazing job with art room routines and procedures. We've been practicing being "Art Smart" by entering the room quietly, raising our hands to ask and share, following directions the first time, using kindness, working at appropriate volumes, cleaning up like a team, and lining up quickly. When we're art smart together, we are able to use most of our 30 minutes together to CREATE, which is what we all want to do.
All SJPS Elementary art students are participating in International Dot Day this year. This is a day created by author and illustrator, Peter Reynolds, to celebrate creativity and leaving your creative mark in the world. Our students read The Dot and we discussed the main character, Vashti's, struggle with fixed mindset in her art room. Our older students then worked on a symbolic self portrait sculpture inspired by The Dot, younger artists created artwork using dots.
When you visit our schools for Back to School Night, be on the lookout for our dot day artwork! We've been working VERY hard!
