It is one week before Spring Break and the students are ready to be out! With 4th Grade, helping them prepare for the LEAP testing, we have been working on polygons and nutrition. How does this relate to Art, you ask? Well... I told my students if they gave me half of their time to do a mini-math lesson then I would let them work on an artsy shoebox to serve as a scene for their polygons. So, we did the lesson by making our own 3-D shapes and talking about faces, edges, and verticies. Then I let them work on their shoeboxes. Some of them have really creative minds and came up with some pretty awesome projects. I allowed them 3 weeks on this project.
Also, we talked about nutrition and their project was to work in teams of two to come up with a slogan and caption that would be beneficial for someone trying to be healthy. I introduced the topic one week and by the next week that they came to me, they were ready to put it all together. Like I said, I was pretty impressed with some of the posters they drew.
