This week the second graders were back at it. We spent todays class finishing up our line patterns and we introduced various shapes to our designs. The last step was to add a bit of watercolor over the finished piece to tie the composition together.
I opened this class differently than the rest. Instead of starting as a group on the rug, every student began at their desk with a pencil and a blank sheet of paper while they listened to a brief, pre recorded podcast that I made for my Technology for Special Populations class at Moore College of Art and Design, which I am currently enrolled in. I took this assignment as an opportunity to record my directions and clearly state our objectives, as well as recap what we did last week. For more information about my assignment, you can read: http://karasartcart.weebly.com/weekly-reflections The actual podcast can be found at: https://soundcloud.com/kara-j-rutledge/karaartcartpodcastmp3 I must say, it was a nice change of pace! It was a more dynamic way to recap last weeks lessons than having me repeat what we talked about last week. They used their papers from their exercise as a free draw paper when they were done. We even had time to mount their finished work on colored paper. Here are some finished and works in progress, land (and sea) scapes!
