Artist's Statements on Artsonia

  I like my butterfly, because I like the shapes.

I like my Christmas tree, because I like the angel.

I like my Christmas poster, because I like Santa's kittens.

All the students will be filing new art in their portfolios and writing about one artwork in Artsonia with an Artist Statement.  The statement should include the reasons that the student wrote it.  It may also include how the idea changed.  As an art teacher, I asked the 2nd through 5th grade students to use 2 or 3 art vocabulary words to describe their art.  The Kindergarten students are telling me artist statements and I type them for them.  They are all using "I like my art, because...." so they can speak in complete sentences.
