Instead of playing or watching a movie on Friday afternoons my students will be taking part in a directed painting club. Each week we will work on a new painting, it will be like the ever popular paint nights- but for kids! This club will not only build my students listening skills but it will allow them to socialize and build relationships with me and their classmates. The students will be using the white construction paper as their canvas each week. The paint will be divided up into the palettes and one palette will be placed at each group for the students at that table to share. Using their new paint brushes the students will follow my cues in order to craft their painting. I will tell the students to draw this shape or this type of line and the students will interpret that in their own way so that by the end of the painting the students have their own unique piece of artwork even though they were all given the same baseline instructions. The paint, palettes, brushes, and blank white paper will be reused on a weekly basis with a new drawing each week. This club will allow students to develop or focus on a passion that is often forgotten in the busy school day. I know it would mean the world for my students if the supplies for this club would be provided to them!
