Today in art class, we had our first Wacky Wednesday with the Poole, Geiger, and Lanier 4/5 advisory groups. The artists and I decided to try out a choice-based art day, meaning each student had the opportunity to choose one art medium to work with, (with the ability to switch media midway through class time), and direct their own exploration, learning, and creativity. The available choices for today were drawing, (including pencils, markers, crayons, and pastels), modeling clay, art books, floor puzzles, and yes… painting.
Our elementary Blue Wave artists did an amazing job with this experiment, and greatly impressed me by staying focused on their art and leaving the studio as clean as they found it… (okay, maybe 95%-99% as clean as they found it, but that’s fantastic for our first try!). Thanks again to the Poole, Geiger, and Lanier advisory groups for doing such a great job today!
