First grade- continued their portraits. We had a critique and the students wanted to create another draft to see if they could improve.

116- I brought a group in to finish. I was able to mount the finished portraits and presented them to Ms. Passino, all ready to go.

104- The students continued their portraits.

103 had a fun class. I wanted to continue the provocation of "Can we make a face?" but introduce the students to wire, so we made faces out of pipe cleaners.  Mrs. Bennett and I discussed doing an introduction to materials series of provocations, so we may continue to explore faces using the theme of shapes and introduce a new material each class or every two classes to get the students used to being in the studio and using the materials, while reinforcing the curriculum (shapes.)

101 continued their portraits.

118- I brought a new group in to begin portraits and presented Ms. Chowaniec with sixteen mounted portraits.
