We do have to grade them and we do use rubrics and self assessments for all subjects in this school, so they are somewhat 'stuck' in terms of that. They can truly express themselves, using all their skills, anytime they want to outside of class...they don't need me for that. You have to start somewhere when you are 12 years old.Elenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377371859667172825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826240726141548436.post-18810689043459348872011-06-05T12:29:33.887-04:002011-06-05T12:29:33.887-04:00The question is Elenka: what is art really about? ...The question is Elenka: what is art really about?

I have come to the conclusion that just because this is art class, doesn't always mean they can do whatever they want. We are, after all, trying to teach something and usually the lesson is built around those things. I've come to start telling the student that they can do what they want to at home....anytime they want to. They can't dispute that and they don't. ;-)Elenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377371859667172825noreply@blogger.com
