The final Art Work To Go Home with the report cards is a year's work in the portfolios being distributed to classroom teachers this week, and sent home as convenient. One side of the portfolio was done in June of 2015 – for grades 2-5. I remind students as these are created that these are the first piece of art work that will be seen at home. I present some options and let them then express themselves. The same procedure is now underway for 2016-17.
Portfolios contain artwork done from September of 2015 to May of 2016. There is also a collection of papers with planning ideas or sharing thoughts on them. Each portfolio uniquely reflects the interests, and efforts of its creator. You may see some “Blue Dog” work. An annual favorite across the grades is using bright markers on glossy paper creating abstract designs, portraits or landscapes. In portfolios of 2-5 graders, the work selected in June 2105 for the fall’s Art Show at EKES is coming home. And each student from K-4th grade has chosen a piece to be included in the exhibit for the fall of 2016.
