FEEDBACK
jfabin
I can't wait to try this exciting method of teaching color theory with my fourth grade students. I think it should cover all of the aspects of color theory in the SOL at this grade level and not be tedious or boring for the students. Thank you.

I love this document! I have taught forr a very long time! this is easy to usse and has everything I will need for an assessment by Administration. More importantly this is easy and practical to use on a day to day basis. With the duration box on the top, it makes an easy reference for years to come. I like that I can edit it an have my state standards, or Common Core when we get them, on the side!

This is a lovely handout; however, the free download doesn't provide anything that I can immediately use since it references a specific school, state, teacher, etc.
January 2, 2013
Scott Russell (TpT Seller)
And this is why it is a free resource- it is a sample framework for a parent communication.

Great idea to use the sandwich theme. I will give this a try soon.

You have to make the hexagon template, and have taught measuring, but my 3rd graders love using this.

Teach Kids Art (TpT Seller)
Nicely done! I especially like the section on how parents can help with their child's art education at home. I hadn't thought to suggest time to practice cutting with scissors.... what a great idea - the young ones really need that!
October 3, 2012
Scott Russell (TpT Seller)
Thanks - I had seen a a version by a colleague and bulked it up some for my own needs. So important to let parents know what they can do and that they can do something to contribute!

Thank you so much for this rubric! It is clear and in "kid friendly language" - just what my administrators are looking for :)
September 24, 2012
Scott Russell (TpT Seller)
I'm glad it will be helpful! I was aiming for the kid friendly too as I wanted my students to be able to self-assess based on the visual.

Sheri Knott (TpT Seller)
Really great idea. Kids are enjoying it. Lost some quality when printing to large format. Had to put it back in illustrator and then it would print large.
September 12, 2012
Scott Russell (TpT Seller)
Thanks for the info - I'll look into it - I've not heard that issue before.

This is a great extension for early finishers - maybe something that can be worked on in small segments throughout the year. Thanks for posting.
September 10, 2012
Scott Russell (TpT Seller)
Thanks Theresa! I used it with my 3rd graders after a 3D perspective cube project and 90% could do it independently with the hexagon tracer I supplied and a ruler. They LOVED making the optical illusions!

Is this planning sheet editable? I have different grades than you do. I might want to add things.
February 17, 2013

Yes it was uploaded as a word doc - so you can edit this one. If by some chance there is an issue email me and let me know! Thank you for all the nice comments on my resources, so glad they are useful!

Not sure what cards you are referring to - there is a sample image for this item on the TpT site showing the layout. (the 1st of the 14 pages) Also this is a legal page version of my word wall with 26 vertical pages, more thumbnails are there.

ALuchansky re: Art Room Rules Poster - Listening Ears
Hello,
I was what the maximum printing size for your posters is. Are they only 8.5x11 when printed or can they be 11x17 without distortion? I love them and would like to order many. Thank you.

Scott Russell (TpT Seller)
They are made on 8.5x11 - that is the pdf file size. If you have programs/capabilities to enlarge proportionally then the file should be fine. I'll be honest I've not tried that. Another option would be to enlarge at a copy center (our school system has one and I've done that with some of mine.) I hope that helps! Thanks for the interest!

I downloaded the color family poster and the rubric....
August 8, 2012
Scott Russell (TpT Seller)
Ok - both of those are PDF (Acrobat) Document Files.
You will have to have downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files.
The software is free and can be downloaded here:
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Once you have that program you should have no difficulty opening the files.

When I downloaded you poster and rubric,all that came up was a buch of letters,numbers and symbols,what am I doing wrong?
August 8, 2012
Scott Russell (TpT Seller)
Hmm - I don't know, you're the first to have had any problems. I've uploaded mostly .pdf files however few are word documents. Which files did you try to download? I'm happy to check on the files to help you figure this out.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Elementary Art Educator since 2000 BA - Shepherd College 2000 MAE - Virginia Commonwealth University 2009
MY TEACHING STYLE
I'm a strong believer in Grant Wood's quote; "The aim of art education in the public schools is not to make more professional artists but to teach people to live happier, fuller lives; to extract more out of their experience, whatever that experience may be." I am a process driven art educator with a strong connection to art history and showing students how art is applicable and purposeful in their daily lives.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
I've had lesson published online and in SchoolArts. My teaching resources have been on many blogs and have been pinned over 100 times on Pinterest. I've served on the Board of the Virginia Art Education Association and the National Art Education Association.
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I decided to be an art teacher when I was in 5th grade and it was my goal from then on. It is fun to tell my 5th grade student that as they leave me to go to middle school.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I submit my own work yearly for exhibit and use my work as a teaching tool. I think it is very important to remain an artist and an art educator - it reminds me why it is important to teach the next generation to create.
