Grade 6 five minute lesson for Oct. 22.

This week's 5 minute lesson is going to challenge your drawing skills. You could earn 3 extra dojo points if you can bring in the answer to the questions: What is contour drawing? What is BLIND contour drawing? And who is Igor Stravinsky?

3 questions to answer 1 dojo point for each correct answer....can you handle it?

Going to school dances with Miss Hickie

Grade 2 students were treated to performances of their peers today. Miss Hickie had the students create dance phrases based on what they do getting ready to go to schools they used locomotor and non-locomotor movements and energy changes in their choreography to show the different things students do while getting ready for school.

Grade 6: 5 Minute Lesson for Oct.14/17

Grade 6's have been creating their "Identity" roadmaps to use for ideas during this term's Full Free Choice routine.

The Routine works like this:

ATTN GR. 6: This week's 5 minute lesson is reviewing how to write an Artist Statement when your artwork is completed.  AHHHGRRR I hear the groans now from my students reading this.  Don't worry, it will get easier as the year goes on.

Your statement should follow an order of what is the artwork title, artwork medium, how did you create it, and what idea inspired you.  NEVER use words that tell people how to feel about the artwork.  FOr example, "It is the coolest collage you've ever seen." or "I like my painting because....".

Check the corner of the Art Room by the window for the rubric example when you finish a statement so you are sure you have completed it properly.

To bypass 5 minute lesson and get straight to work on your project for Term 1 you must write out a pretend Artist Statement for the following artwork.  You will pretend it is yours and make up the information.  I am looking for good sentences, and understanding of the word medium.  Hand it in to Mrs. Kitch at the beginning of your class day (600: Wednesday, 601: Friday) by 9:30 so I can check them over and be sure you don't need to have a refresher on the 5 minute lesson.  

Personal Timeline Dance Presentations

Grade 6's will be performing their Personal Timeline dance phrases today. Their task was to create a dance phrase using all the elements of dance and transitions in their choreography about 4 important moments in their lives so far.  This dance will be built into a full class dance co,position for our annual Night At The Museum night at the end of the year.

Grade 6's if you can give me all the elements of dance written correctly on a sticky note when you come to class you will be awarded 3 bonus dojo points!!
