(Squishy the Classroom managing Squid Keeping an eye on things.)"Art gives you fine motor skills. It also gives you the chance to be creative." -Piper (2nd Grader) I couldn't agree more with Miss Piper's unprompted art assessment. It made my heart glow with art teacher pride. "One of the most important skills that are developed through art is fine motor development. During art lessons, your child's small muscles in the fingers, hands, and wrists are exercised and strengthened, helping to make learning to write easier." This assignment focuses on fine motor skills by using our hands to connect to what our brains are seeing. Students created collage work by ripping and tearing the paper into pieces instead of using scissors. We then glued the paper into the shapes of flowers and clouds. This sort of impressionistic art is a great way to experiment with creativity outside the realm of perfectionism. These pieces will be on display at our Book Fair and Art Show Collaboration in May!
