Practicum Take Over!!!

'My practicum students created & taught their own lessons this week!!  It has been fun to watch them as they see success & areas that need improvement.  As a teacher of many many moons.....it is so energizing to see young educators start to discover who they are!!

2nd Grade
Ms. Wilson did a POP ART lesson focused on Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans.
The kids loved creating their own wacky flavors.
(Though one is Mr. E flavored...and the paint brush has red on it?? My blood?)

1st Grade

Ms. Saunders focused her lessons on Picasso & him abstracted portraits.

The students laughed so much as they created versions of themselves with eyes, ears, and mouths going every which way!  They also enjoyed using construction paper crayons.

Ms. Alday read to the students a story about scarecrows.  The students focused on using shapes to create their works of art.  They also used construction paper crayons.  

The practicum students are doing an amazing job...and my students are really enjoying them being here at our school!!  It is really a win-win situation if you are on the fence about practicum students!! 

2nd Grade Art Show Work

POP ART

The students looked at the work of Andy Warhol. They then created drawings representing their fav. candies/desserts. After incising a styrofoam plate, they printed their image several times using traditional printmaking techniques and materials.

YUMMY POP ART

Ms. Luquire did a Pop Art lesson with our second grade classes. She used Andy Warhol has her inspiration. The first class time the students watched DROPPING IN ON....Andy Warhol(If you do not know this series...check it out!!! I love it! They have books and videos). The students then did their sketch & some started incising their plates for printing. During the next class time students completed incising their plates. They also cut two pieces of paper in half and taped them back together. This added a bit more color to their prints! Ms. Luquire worked with 6 students at a time at printing stations while the rest of the students worked on another project.
