5th grade Independent Projects

This will be the third year that fifth graders have an independent project for their last big assignment of the year. Students are given full choice on subject and medium they use. Students are an active participant through out the creative process by planning and designing their project, conferencing with me their proposal and sketch, executing their concept with their chosen materials and finally reflecting with a self-grade sheet while also sharing with the class. Students are allowed to work as a team and collaborate or be independent. It's probably my favorite project of the year as I watch them use skills that they have acquired through all their years of art.
