Ethan Gavril<br />
Grade: 2<br />
School: PS 99, Queens<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Teacher: Victoria Calabro<br />
Painted-paper collage<br />
STUDENT: I worked very<br />
hard on my art. I like to<br />
make art because I can<br />
show when I am happy.<br />
I want everyone to know<br />
how happy I was when<br />
I got a four on the test!<br />
A four is the best!<br />
TEACHER: Students<br />
explored a range of<br />
collage techniques by<br />
tearing and cutting<br />
various types of paper.<br />
In this collage unit on<br />
expressive self-portraits<br />
they learned that artists<br />
often interpret and depict their<br />
experiences through their work,<br />
and that sketches can help artists<br />
plan for future works of art.<br />
Students also learned that details<br />
make works of art special, and that<br />
color can convey different moods<br />
and feelings. Ethan excels in the<br />
art studio. He is very thoughtful and<br />
can create unique works without<br />
being given any direction. All of<br />
his artmaking decisions and details<br />
added to communicating this mood<br />
of excitement.<br />
