8th Grade Art Show: Realizing A Vision
Students were encouraged to dream big, take risks, and create unique works they felt personally connected to. The diversity of subjects and materials that students used just highlighted the diversity of thought in our student community. My favorite part of this project was that I got to say YES! to so many interesting projects.
During this culmination, students were asked to stand by their work so that their fans could ask them about their work. I saw students confidently answer questions about the processes they used, discuss the meaning behind their work, talk about things they liked or didn’t like about the materials they used.
In addition to the work on hand, people could scan a QR code next to each student's work to read an artist statement. The artist statement that students wrote provided insight into each student's feelings about art, why they think it is important to society, as well as details about the work on display.
