My third grade class doesn't always have a lot of time to do art; however, when the students do have time to create anything, they go all out. I honestly have never seen students so invested in their work as this class is.These are their pictures of the people they think might be grading their ISTEP tests.
This student has incredible artistic abilities. It is amazing to watch him draw anything; he focusses and knows exactly what his finished project is going to look like before his pencil draws a single line.
Some of the portraits were more realistic than others, but either way it was fascinating to see what the students thought the people who graded their tests might look like.
I also found it very cool to see each student's distinct artistic style. No two portraits look anything alike, which tells me that they've been given a lot of creative freedom in the past. No cookie-cutter art here!
