All classes have been working with still life drawings. These pastel drawings will be a major project grade. We have moved slower than I would like, but the students have some strong art pieces. Both grades are having some talking issues which takes away from their working time. Part of the problem stems from students needing one on one instruction as well as lack of focus from other students. To avoid team referrals I have developed Extra time/wait time lessons. With one teacher and over twenty students it is easy for students to get distracted waiting for me to make my rounds within the room. If students are waiting for my help grade 6 has two options. I introduced "Mad Labs" a few weeks ago and this week they can work on Aboriginal seed pod designs. Grade 7 will get an "Expanding your Gray Matter" drawing on Friday. I hope that this will solve some of the current problems.
Projects and due dates
Grade 6...Fall still lifes will be due next week. Friday we will have a class critique to check progress. Monday-students will get a tally sheet of the points for each part of the project. Students will be able to self evaluate their projects and complete areas that are lacking.
Grade 7...Friday may be the last class working day for the pear still lifes. The projects will be due Wednesday. This group will also get a tally sheet to self evaluate their projects and complete areas that are lacking.
