Part of our learning expectations for visual arts is that students will demonstrate an awareness of themselves as artists. This means giving them the tools and confidence to create works of art that they are proud of. All week we have been discussing ways we can add more details to our work, how we can use lines to create movement, and other visuals effects like texture. Creating with plastercine is the perfect medium to experiment with these methods. We read Barbara Reid’s Picture a Tree and No One Saw by Bob Raczka. We were so impressed by the class’ creations!
