Hello everyone! I wanted to take a moment to welcome everyone to the second semester of the year. For art, that means that your students are in my class for the first time all year. I am excited to get to know each student a bit more and so see all of the creative masterpieces produced this year!
The first unit we are working on is an artist research project. Each child has chosen an artist and has been asked to research and write about that person.
The first step for all four grade levels is to write the biography. We have spent the last week researching our artists in class and your student was asked to complete their rough draft for class today or tomorrow, depending on what day they come to class. Their final biography writing is due to me by the end of class Wednesday or Thursday, depending on what day they come to class!
This writing assignment is based off of the PASS writing prompt. The students have seen this and understand what that I am going to be looking for Content, Organization, Conventions and Voice. I am so excited to see their final pieces of work!
