Art Bingo
This is a fun game I created for my students based on some of my Pre- and Post assessments. Students learn the Elements and Principals of Art. I also through in some Art History on some of the game boards. This game can be adjusted for just about any grade levels and can be a great way to do informal assessments.
Tar Beach
For Black History month in February I teach my students about the African American artist Faith Ringgold and her style of art, which was Quilting. My favorite story to do is Tar Beach. I have my students imagine that they can fly, and ask them to draw themselves flying over their favorite place with their favorite person. they then write a story behind their picture around the frame. We then add lots of fabric to frame their story and place them altogether to design our very own class quilt. Here is a picture of my door. I like to always motivate them with a door design theme.

Featured Artist Bulletin Board
Welcome Back students to a new exciting year in art. Each week I will choose two students to be my featured Artist their work will be displayed under the Incredible Art Hulk bulletin. They loved the idea and are excited to see their work posted under the Hulk. I have added an incentive and told them that their picture will also be taken with the Hulk. They seemed to be very excited, let’s see how it goes!
