Sixth graders have been working on a report of an artist. Students selected an artist to study from a collection of books (thanks Mrs. Kunkle and Mrs. Blackwell for pulling the books for us!).
Students then filled out a packet of information about their artist, created a portrait of their artist, and did copies of two of their famous works of art. Creating copies of other artists work is a long standing art tradition. Artists learn by carefully examine the art work of others!
Our final step was to cut out our report and place it on a paper cube. Building the cubes has proved to be a challenge for many of the students, but we learn the most from those challenging tasks!
The sixth graders are doing a great job with their artist reports. I can't until they are all done and they get to share them with each other!
