Aaron and Me<br />
Suki Liu<br />
Grade: 1<br />
School: Queens College School for Math, Science, and Technology<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Teacher: Madeleine Hope <strong>Art</strong>hurs<br />
Torn-paper collage<br />
STUDENT: People should have fun with<br />
others. Aaron and me are going for a<br />
walk to the park. I am holding a toy<br />
and Aaron is holding a marshmallow.<br />
I like to make art because it makes<br />
me unique and creative.<br />
TEACHER: This collage exploration<br />
challenges students by limiting their<br />
collage activity to only ripping black<br />
and white paper. Students really<br />
think about the shapes they are<br />
creating and their placement on the<br />
paper. The ability to rip, overlap and<br />
glue shapes to create imaginative<br />
placement of shapes reflects the 2nd<br />
grade performance indicators for<br />
collage in the Blueprint.<br />
Suki is a hard working, sweet, shy<br />
child who makes great artistic<br />
choices. Her collage is quite<br />
sophisticated for a first grader<br />
because of its tiny details and its<br />
demonstration of how Suki worked<br />
within the limitations of the activity.<br />
