Sm'ART'ists: Color Gallery

We recently finished our last color unit project. Students were challenged in the last week to write a content goal as a class about what they were learning through the project. Even the youngest grades excelled through this! You can watch a small video clip at the bottom of this blog of students leading other students through this.

Scroll to see finished works with some reflections written by the students themselves.

To read more about the concepts students were exploring, visit my last blog here.

Fourth grade student, Mrs. Spurlock's class
"The lady is talking to the love of her life. She is at home and they are planning their wedding. She is just sitting at home. My strength in my painting is the drawing part because I am a really good drawer. My weakness in my painting is the painting part, because I accidentally mixed colors."

5th Grade student, Mrs. Strange/Favorite's class

4th Grade student in Mrs. How's class
"The lady is getting a haircut and she is wondering if it looks good or bad. The scissors are making a snipping sound and the lady's hair is on her shirt, but she can't see what her actual hair looks like. I could improve my work by putting the dots closer together in the girl's head and trying to stay in the lines."

Student in Mrs. Worthy's 4th grade class
"My painting is about a man getting prank calls from someone, that only says "Banana!" I am good at painting and drawing phones. I could improve on the man and the door, and probably the background."

Student in Mrs. Worthy's 4th grade class
"The first guy says, 'Dude, dogs and cats were never friends,' and the second guy says, 'See for yourself!' The dog and cat are actually friends. The, the guy says, 'That's ironic!' In my comic, I'm good at drawing Pikachu- see!"

4th grade student in Mrs. Spurlock's Class
"In my narrative they all meet up at Steak and Shake to eat, and the fries say, 'Hi', the shake says, 'What's shaken bacon,' he says, 'Nothin' much,' and the burger says, 'Hey I'm down here!' My strengths are thinking of an idea. I can improve my drawing by having lessons."
