Something new this year in the Mt. Bethel Art Room is the use of portfolios. Every student has a portfolio to hold finished work, sketches and works-in-progress. Managing over 1,000 student's artwork is quite a challenge and portfolios serve to help as an assessment tool. It will also help when we prepare for the April art show because students will have an assortment of completed artworks to choose from.
Because I am not sending work home on a regular basis anymore, you may be wondering what your child is creating in art. For 1st, 3rd and 5th grade I have started an Artsonia gallery. Artsonia is the largest online student art gallery. When your child's art is uploaded, you will receive a code to log on to the website to access your child's art work. Many of the 3rd grade classes have already received these notes going home in backpacks.
It is a tedious job to catalog art, and I am always looking for volunteers to help. Please email me if you are interested.
