Wow!!! The first days of art classes in our new room have been CRAZY (the good kind)!!!
Instead of me lecturing to students about where things are located in our new room (that would bore us both) we decided to make it fun with a scavenger hunt!
The students worked in groups to find where all the supplies are located throughout the room.
The younger students couldn't do a scavenger hunt where they had to read, so instead we played some classic I Spy. Sometimes I would have them still walk around the room to find the objects.
After that we talked briefly about what a "portrait" is (always good to reinforce art vocabulary), and the students drew portraits of their partners. BUT there was a catch- the paper was taped to their partners back!
I love that a simple change such as taping paper to their back can get the students so excited! You should have heard the giggles as they examined their partners facial features, and then set to creating!
There was even an odd number of students in a few classes so I was lucky enough to participate. ;)
Such a great first few days! I can't wait to see the beautiful projects and knowledge gained from learning in this PHENOMENAL new room.
Keep Creating!
