Friday September 9th, 2016

Junior Kindergarten
  • Today we reinforced our classroom mood metre and rules of the art room
  • We reviewed our "ABC's"
  • The rest of class time was used for "Free-Draw Friday" where students utilize their creative skills and are encouraged to draw something of interest to them.
AVI4M
  • Today we listened to the first section of our book "Girl in Hyancinth Blue." Students will be read to at the beginning of each class to expand their creative thinking skills and will be asked to reflect on their ideas/opinions within their process journals.

Girl in Hyacinth Blue tells the story of an imaginary painting by Vermeer, and the aspirations and longings of those whose lives it illuminates, and darkens. 
  • Students used the rest of class time to research their chosen college/university arts/arts-related programs and portfolio requirements for said programs.
*Due Monday: Breakdown of interested programs and list of portfolio requirements for each program.

ASM2O
  • Today students participated in an interactive Kahoot quiz/game regarding the Global Contexts, Key Concepts, Related Concepts, and the Statement of Inquiry for the IB Arts Curriculum.
  • Students used the rest of class time to work in their process journals.
