“For this project I used oil pastels, and ended up gaining more proficiency then I had before..I learned that you can use the burnishing technique with oil pastels too.Not only does this make the colors look more vibrant but it also blends better if you apply it in layers.Using this technique I colored the flamingos pink with peach,yellow, red and white pastels.They blended well and and gave the flamingos a natural color.”
“My art is original because I took an idea I found on Pinterest and made it my own by changing the animals to flamingos. I also included a sunset for the background instead of solid black like the original because I wanted to include a beach theme. I used a picture I took on a family trip for the sunset, which made the drawing even more my own because the photo was my work”.

INAPPROPRIATE RESPONSE
Writing is surface level, thoughts aren’t clearly explained. Your photos are related to what you write about but don’t provide clear evidence.
|
“My art is original because I did it. I came up with the ideas and that makes it my own. I’m really happy with my work.”

Other Ideas for Talking About Your Art
- Play the One Word Game. Take cards with descriptor words (Nervous, Sorrow, Fearful) and rotate around the room to different artwork stations. Can use artist prints or student arts. Students lay down descriptor cards that best fit the image and explain why they picked that card. A "judge" at each station (like in Apples to Apples_) awards the winner all the cards. The person with the most descriptor cards wins. (Idea from https://www.theartofed.com/2017/10/23/get-middle-school-students-talk-art/)
- Use prompts (see below). You can also talk about the message of your artwork and why it is important to you.
- Use interesting stories to discuss art work. Make them relevant to the student.
- Show a piece and ask students for their a) Response to seeing the artwork. b)What makes them feel this way, and c)One specific question that they would ask the artist.
- Use online tools to share reflections - blogs, QR codes.
