Working with third, fourth and fifth graders is a pleasure. They are so capable, so inventive and so confident it makes art classes with them move quickly as they master new skills and invent new creations. At the end of residencies, I always have a culminating event. At the end of this after school program in Boro Park, Brooklyn, we had an art show in the classroom. Here is our display.
Each of the students talked about what work impressed them the most and why. This was not
a popularity contest but rather a way for students to analyze their own work and that of their classmates. Discussing the artistic features of the work was what was important.
