Like it or not, we are always being asked to connect to other disciplines and be part of the school community to raise scores, and frankly, I think it is important in some ways, but what I like about your idea is that it accomplishes this goal THROGH art. Great!<br /><br />I talk about the tests we give- They are not the best art assessments and we are looking at doing some new assessments. <br /><br />http://theartofeducation.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/bubble-licious/<br /><br />Jessica BalsleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228656108960147265.post-51322886765115484422011-01-07T08:03:11.484-05:002011-01-07T08:03:11.484-05:00There is so much emphasis on testing that I've...There is so much emphasis on testing that I've never tried working on it.

I was a good student and an A-B student in High School and College. Tests just suck. <br />I have not given any tests, but I think next year I will. I don't think that that makes my program less effective. I see the students retain the information. I have had my students do "mini" projects for practice and then when it comes time for the major project; I love to sit back and watch what they have learned. <br />I love your idea for the blind contour. My 6th graders love to do them. I like how you put the pencil through the paper. I'm gonna try that with them.
