Thankful for Reading week- book and drawing

For our Thankful for Reading theme, I am reading the book Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, which is a story about giving-  and a little bit of mystery. You can find my book video and drawing in your art team in the agenda channel - look for this week's post. The drawing is a dog in a sweater like the one in the book, because who doesn’t love a dog in a sweater?!

I am also very thankful for friends who don’t attend Dolvin but have been reading my blog, like Jamie and Ashlee who also sent me some of their favorite links to check out - I will soon try to upload my new drawing videos in the Art at Home tab above. Thank you for hanging in there with me!

Have a happy and SAFE Thanksgiving everyone - gobble gobble!

"Design a Mask" and Yearbook Cover Contest!

 We have two optional but fun creative projects going on at Dolvin for all students who wish to participate. The first one is the Yearbook Cover Contest and the theme for this year is Better Together. Remember your tips for making quality work - fill the space, use interesting and unique details, use bold lines and bright color. Here is everything you need to know:

The other is Artsonia's "Design a Mask" project, which allows students to create their own mask designs to wear or share as gifts. Artsonia has been our digital portfolio platform for years, so if you are new to Dolvin and have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. You can find out all you need to know about Artsonia at the tab above, or in your Art Team > General Files.

New art routines : Face to face and remote learners

Hi smartest artists! 

It has been great seeing my face to face friends in the art room for the first time this week. Please remember to bring your "to go bag" with your art supplies to art class, and you may also bring your portfolio if you wish. 

For my friends who are still remote learning at home, don't worry - I know our art class seems a little different now that we are not meeting together. Never fear, Mrs. Knight will always have a creative activity planned for you to do each week! Instead of clicking the "join meeting" button in Teams, you will be able to access your art lesson any time during the week. Here is how it works: 

Accessing art class for remote learners:

Go to your Knight Art team - the icon looks like this:

Next, click the Agenda for the supplies needed for the week.

Finally, click Assignments, then Files to see a folder for the week that contains video examples, pictures, and other information.

If you have a question, click the Ask a Question channel. I can also help you during my office hours, which are by request since everyone's schedule is so different - just let me know if you would like to set up a time.

What to do with your art work:

Each student should be saving their work in a portfolio at home. You also have the option of uploading your art to a digital portfolio - Artsonia or Seesaw. Find out more about these platforms by visiting your Art Team channel, under General > Files.

Thank you all for your patience as we figure out the safest, best ways to make this work for everyone. I am so proud of all of you and I am happy we can still make art together.
