This week was a full week of progress! I now have less than half of the students finishing the coloration portion of our Mixed Media lesson. On Friday we even started to use transparency frames on the finished ones to help with overall composition look on the project. It was also a great week for one on one conversations with my slower moving students and working on building better relationships with them to see if this assists with their slower progress. Students also worked on using the site Canva.com to compose their Photographic Essays. Students are to choose 10 important photos and then summarize why the photos are significant to them. It also gives me insight to their thinking on placement/composition. The Photographic Essays are also data collection information for me to help decide on where to steer them for our next unit, the Contemporary Personal Project. One major hick-up that I am currently dealing with is some students modge podge is not drying in the sealed transparencies. They are already sealed though and I am not sure what to try to speed up the process to make the modge podge go clear. Another big YAY! Is that baseline surveys are in (only two students have not completed it) and now I need to reflect on students preferences to implement my next steps. I’ve also began the process of finding students Contemporary Artist that their work, behaviors, and interests have indicated that they may have a connection with. This week I need to focus on getting requirements and the VoiceThreads going! Plus beginning those students who are ready in the planning stage of their Contemporary Personal Project!
