To celebrate the fact that our Wisconsin winter is finally underway with at least a little bit of snow, we are working on a whole array of winter projects.
In addition to having a little winter fun, students are also learning and experiencing the concept of THEME in art. Students' work is structured around a variety of stations set up throughout the room. The projects stemmed from suggestions and a few examples I made, but it has been exciting to see other student-driven ideas develop as we work. Another great aspect of this project is that students who can really focus in and work for an extended period of time on one idea are able to do this to until their heart is content. Students who prefer to try many different materials and work with many ideas over the course of one or two art times, can do THIS until their heart is content. It has turned out to be a very handy differentiation strategy.
