Art Class (11/8/16)
Today I stayed in the classroom for an entire day. My time with the class is usually finished when the students are finishing up lunch and getting ready to go outside for recess. I was excited to stay the entire day to experience what they did for their specialist time.
Art class was an eye-opening experience indeed. I joined the students for a painting day and it was best described as controlled chaos. It was worth it just to be there and watch them try to put on paint shirts. Quite a few students ended up with their heads coming out of an arm hole and it was pretty humorous. They were using watercolor to fill in a circle as part of a two-class project. I was impressed by how many students listened and started with yellow and worked their way to the darker colors. Some of the students were very precise and particular about the colors and some students didn't seem to care and enjoyed the act of using the paints without any concern for the outcome. It will be interesting to see how they all look once they've had a chance to dry.
