Sean and I met from 2:35-3:25
We reviewed Brian's art one students contour line drawings. Our discussion revolved around common assessment of traits within the drawing. We then discussed what will be the line (attribute)s that the students must achieve (to demonstrate success of the concept) for us to go on to the main project.

I'm going to try "blind contour drawings" with my third grade next week....Our whole month of September is devoted to line investigations....Our first art club meeting went well-32 students! Luckily, Karen Romito has volunteered to help. What's up at Harmon & Craddock?
I did blind contour with my 7th graders a few weeks ago. I have rectangles of tag board that have a hole in the center for their pencils, the board covers their hand and part of the paper so they cannot see as they draw. Works pretty well, drawing were interesting.
I want to put a photo in here is there a way to do that?
A photo in where Leigh?
Leigh, your picture upload looks like it was successful (the "ink spot" right?--or is that just your icon?) Anyway, you could post a link to your photo (or to a "slideshare", or anything else you want if you have the "embed code")...On a separate note, Sean got good comments from the parents I spoke to at the LES ice cream social :).
I was trying to place a photo in the comment box- I don't think that is a possibility. I know I can post a link to my photo but I wanted to put the photo right in. I think that is not allowed because someone might put in something that the author of the sight might not like, at least this is my thinking as to why you can't.

Brian- I love your computer art class blog so much! The only thing I wonder about is the more "cutting edge" imagery some of the students put in their posters. What sort of policy to you have on that, also assuming freedom of speech?
Leigh--hard to believe your first group of kids is done!
Sean-how you doing there?
Oh,& the blind contour drawings came out amazing!
Where are you seeing the computer art work? I looked at the AHS art dept site and could not find any computer art work. Would love to see some it.
Leigh,
The posters are my personal blog the blog.... http://morethanart.blogspot.com .... look on the right side (where the dates of the archives are)
.... choose "April" or even the ones in "2007".... thats where the posters are.
Hope this helps
Lois,
regarding your question "…is the more "cutting edge" imagery some of the students put in their posters. What sort of policy do you have on that, also assuming freedom of speech?" ….
I have to monitor the progress of the student as they are making it (so they don’t have to start all over at the end). If imagery or topics are too controversial, I will step in and play advisor. Usually, we take care of most of those issues before we begin the assignment through several related discussions on topic and appropriateness. The idea in the end is a persuasive poster on a topic that is relevant to the student…. (all part of the authentic participation for the student). If the issue (topic) is controversial, I do support the student, but I first discuss it with the administration to see how far they can go with an idea. There has been two or three students I have not allowed to continue a project because the issue was just not appropriate (example- In support of drug use, etc.) And the only reason I wouldn’t let them is because I did not want Aurora to be viewed as a place that supports drugs.
Thanks, Brian, because believe it or not, I have to monitor a bit of imagery at the elementary level. Basically, no violent imagery, no "substance" imagery, so I guess I'm keeping things age-appropriate.
