Artists take risks and try new things.

In the art room we have a chart that looks like this:

Each class has their own page.

As I circulate around the room, I instruct children to go up and fill out the chart. 

There is a key that looks like this:

Red square =  Painting Center

Blue Square = Drawing Center

Green Square = Sculpture Center, etc.

"A" = Absent 

Students artists are allowed to go to the same center two weeks in a row. After that, they must go to a new center of their choice. The young artist below really wanted to draw, but she had gone to the Drawing Center for the last two weeks. She decided to give the new project, Crazy Paper Weaving a try... but was very skeptical about liking it. Minutes into weaving her face lit up, and she discovered that she LOVES to weave. Judging by her smiling eyes, I think she is extremely proud of her weaving!
