I did not personally like Art until I got to college. I always thought that I was horrible at it and I could never come up with good ideas. I was lucky enough to have a wonderful professor in my "required art general education class". He never judged our work on how lovely or professional our product turned out. He gave us suggestions and taught us how to look at things. He then judged our work based on personal progress and following directions. I loved that because it made me feel comfortable and I could try, fail, ask...repeat. Finally I would grasp the concept and make personal progress. That is my goal for your kiddos. I have attached the rubric for how every project this year will be graded.

My first lesson in Art is always a little challenging. It's personal, it connects them to their world, and it forces them to look at space differently. It also makes it very clear if they did or did not follow directions. I love using their names to start off with because it helps me see how they view things. This project may take awhile and they will probably need reminders at home. Here are the directions and examples that I gave them at school.
There should be absolutely NO white left on the page. In between the letters must be filled in as well.
