Next week will be our last week of our current planner, “How We Express Ourselves.” The central idea is…through art, people express how they think and feel. As we conclude this planner, I thought it would be a good idea for the children to go home and look around for art outside of school and really think about how it makes them think and feel. You may actually visit an art museum on your own, look through art books at the library, go to a bookstore, or even go online to visit museums around the country or even the world to view art!
After choosing a favorite piece of art, I want each child to neatly fill out their “Looking at Art” sheet answering the following questions:
* Title of artwork
* Name of artist
* What colors do you see?
* What shapes do you see?
* What objects do you see?
* What do you like about the artwork…why did you choose it?
* Include a photo, picture, copy, or drawing of your piece of chosen artwork.

The projects are due Friday, November 21st. We will be sharing these in class November 24th and 25th and I’m thinking they would be a nice addition to their portfolio assessment for the art planner.
Our homework load this week will be light (spelling only) to accommodate enough time to do a nice job on the project. I look forward to hearing about what kind of art your children choose to share. Although it is OK to choose an artist we may have already talked about…try to stay away from the pieces of art we already know about. As always, have fun!
