Reflecting on Art

This week in the studio artists are looking through their artwork and reflecting on their art and the process of making it.  The artists are using age appropriate criteria to decide which pieces are most successful and selecting their best to keep at school for display.  Their other amazing works of art, skill builders and learning experiments are going home.  Please take a few minutes to ask your children about their art.  What was difficult, what problems did they need to solve while making it, and what they would do differently if they were to make the piece again.  Thinking and talking about artwork takes practice and is an important part of the learning process. 

Finished pieces wait for artists as they work in the studio.

3rd grade artists discuss two pieces, giving feedback to the artist.  (He chose the print for display.)
