At the end of a full project, I reserved a class period for writing artist statements. The stations were a good way to keep the students busy (only one was writing at a time since it was being done on my computer) doing some fun Art and problem solving activities. I did not have the students write anything this time until they were looking at their artwork on the screen. I didn't give them very much instruction since I wanted it to be kind of a pretest. Before they wrote artist statements about their second project, I modeled talking about my example and asked them to cover "what, how, and why" as well as a judgment sentence. So basically they told me what they made, how they made it, why they made it (what we were learning about), and how they think it turned out- if they think it's perfect or would do something differently, etc. I tried to give them more feedback but not really correct them at this point. We'll keep working on artist statements throughout the school year. I've also had students write statements when they finish early (on notebook paper or the back of their artwork) and that works pretty good except for the students who would work on their projects forever if you let them since they never have time! <br /><br />Here are a a few more writing activities/lessons I've tried: http://artteacheradventures.blogspot.com/2011/09/back-to-school.html<br />http://artteacheradventures.blogspot.com/2011/04/3rd-grade-architecture-2-ways.html<br />http://artteacheradventures.blogspot.com/2010/07/4th-grade-visual-journaling-sunday.html<br />http://artteacheradventures.blogspot.com/2010/07/6th-grade-visual-journaling-raining.htmlKatie Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056783451407075827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592492505091408673.post-52771976942093612762011-10-25T18:30:19.230-05:002011-10-25T18:30:19.230-05:00I love reading your blog!

Was it in between units or did it go along with anything else? 2. Did the students pre-write their artist statements and how long were they? I would love to incorporate writing and process oriented lessons like this, but have yet to see it be done in my teaching program experience, so I love that reading your blogs gives me ideas about what will or will not work!
