12/4 and 12/5

K-2

It’s a review week for using glue. This week they created a design for Christmas and used glue as the drawing medium.

This is what your child reviewed.
1. How to open/ close and wipe the tip of the bottle
2. How much squeeze pressure to use
3. Where to place the tip of the bottle to draw with glue.
4. The speed to use when drawing a line of glue

Students also took their previously glue created patterned paper and applied a contrasting chalk to make the glue lines stand out.

3 (4th was at concert practice-so I did not see them)

Students finished their Bible story drawing/painting project.

They also took time to self evaluate their project to the following rubric.

My project contains evidence of:
1. Emphasis (what’s the story about...who are the main characters)    
2. Foreground, middle ground and background                                     
3. Proportioned human figure                                                                   
4. Historical clothing (no jeans and t-shirts)                                             
5. Color usage to show emphasis                                                             
6. Color usage with variation (how many browns are there?)               
7. Details and textures   

                                                                            

5/6
Students are still working on their final portrait project.

Today the emphasis was using watercolor paint as value to create the dark and light highlights in their self-portrait.

This is the evaluation that they will use to assess their art work.....they also can use this while they are working. It guides them on each criteria of the project. There are no secrets in what I expect them to demonstrate.

These are the skills that I have evidence of in my self-portrait:
1. Correct facial feature placement                                                
2. Negative space                                                                           

3. Dark and light range of 1-5                                                        
4. Use of color to show value                                                        
5. Values in face are in the correct place                                       
6. Draw what I see not what I know                                              
7. Humanoid not cartoon                                                                
8. Eyes are human looking                                                              
9. Nose has contour just at base                                                     
10. Lip contour is mainly line between lips
