A few of my 1st and 2nd grade students let out groans when I mentioned the phrase “hand turkey” but as soon as they saw my crazy rainbow example they were excited to get started. We briefly talked about color and pattern before they let loose on their drawings- I passed out glitter crayons, always popular!
This delightful composition was created by a 2nd grader.
I'm an elementary art teacher.
I have the best job on earth.
I teach at 3 schools. No art rooms- its art on a cart minus the cart. (I get a cart at the school with no stairs). 900 kids- 42 classes a week, 30 minutes each.
School stats:
22% white, 66% black, 2% hispanic
89.5% at/below poverty
