4th, 5th and 6th Grade Art

While it is not very often that I offer a full day of "free" art, the Elementary 2 students had work so diligently on the perspective drawing unit that I thought I would give them a creative break. For most students this is a chance to explore specific areas of interest that they may not always have the time or materials to explore. For some students, the amount of choice for free time art is overwhelming and they do not know what to do. It is a balance to find enough freedom for creative exploration and time to guide them in specific techniques. The 6th grade class was not as productive with "free" art time, so I began them on the next project, a watercolor still life. More on that next week!
