The Awesome Miss Paige

'Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.'

-Rabindranath Tagore

Is there anything better as a teacher than watching a child take incredible pride in their work? One of my students completed this piece of art in Art Tech today. She has had 2 hours less than the other children, and has been chomping at the bit to get into some of her own ideas rather than the scaffolded teaching for the last 5 weeks. 

Today I watched her find this piece of inspiration on her netbook, sit for 5 minutes as she figured out the steps she would need to take to create it, then go for it! She even took my advice and made a couple of changes to make it unique to herself, rather than a direct copy of another artist.

So. Proud. #PaigeParaha

Look at our finished work! I am so impressed and proud of this group of children for creating something so beautiful for our school board room.

Your reflection questions this week from your brainstorm last week are:

• Why are the colours of your chosen piece of art significant? What do they mean to you?
• Tell us about your art! What story or message are you inferring through your art?
• Reflect on your own art... What could you try next time? What other artists in your class have inspired you? How? Why?
