Showing Growth

This year, in accordance with SB191, I needed to document student growth. So I chose to save kindergarten art, using their self portraits that I teach several times a year. They are very developmental in their art as they transition to being 6 years old. I drew a rubric to measure their growth. 

Then the first week of school I asked them to draw themselves, with no instruction or demonstration. Just to get a baseline.

 In the middle of the year, around February I gave them a lesson on drawing ourselves.

The final lesson was in April. Here we were looking at our colors, eyes, hair skin,clothing, and adding details. The pictures show a tremendous amount of growth! I am really proud of these little artists!
