Display finishing paintings.
Each student should be assigned a painting that is not their own to write about. Direct the students to write a paragraph for each of the following questions in a constructive and positive way:
- What have you learned about this block from this painting?
- How has the student artist created a sense of place?
- With whom would you like to visit this place? What would you do here?
Students should receive the paragraph written about their work at the end of the class.
In collaboration with the classroom teacher, these paintings can be displayed and used as the focus of a writing assignment in which the students address their own work. Students can write about why they selected this block to depict, the aesthetic decisions they made, and the mood they tried to express in their work. Refer to the interview you did for homework previously, and include a description of how this block has changed over time.
