WELCOME TO THE STUDIO..
BACK TO ART!
So glad to be back in the art studio prepping to create and make some art. Remember to dress for creating and leave valuables in class.
VOUNTEERS?- Thinking of some student studio helpers before/after school for 10-15 min occasionally for 4-5th graders. Pencil sharpening, glue recovery, table boxes organized and stools. Come see me if your student is interested.
PARENTS: Have time to take photos? Over 3,000 were taken last year but missed over 1,000 due to lack of time. We will also focus on photography skills 3-5th so they can take their own for Artsonia.
REPORT CARD UPDATE:
Reminder Parents we don't give number"grades" in Essentials, yet we are required to access milestones based on the Texas TEKS objectives. Often what we see in once a week in a group setting isn't the same as what you see one on one at home. If your child is struggling I will email you, but please know all children are artists in their own way. Email me if you have any questions:)

Met Standard (MS) - Listens critically and participates in the art class projects/discussions and demonstrates new insight/solutions to the presented art problem. These skills are usually met as year progresses.
Approaching Standard (AS) - Listens and participates in all of the art class projects/discussions and no redirection is needed. This is usually where students are developmentally.
Limited Progress (LP) - Listens and participates in the art class with frequent reminders or redirection. We are still learning and this is developmentally appropriate for beginning of year.
No Assessment (X) - Student has not engaged or participated in elementary visual arts coursework and appropriate assessment cannot be made.

ARTSONIA
back to start page
Your students can submit their own artwork and artist statements using an iOS/Android device (or any computer) at school. It provides a rich way to integrate technology into your art room, and also saves you time by allowing students to assist you in uploading artwork! It's a win-win for everyone!
How the Process Works
You setup projects
Create projects that students will submit their entries to. Projects can include optional instructional text (or videos!) that the student can review after logging in.
Class Portal Setup
Students login to the "Class Portal"
Students will log in to the Class Portal using our iOS/Android app or browsing to artsonia.com/class. They will need the school access code (or QR code) to access the class roster and locate their names, which are organized by grade or class.
NEW TIP: You no longer have to setup your student roster ahead of time for students to use Class Portal (although you still can if you wish). If a new student's name is not on the class roster, he/she can simply add their own name.
Once they select (or add) their names, you may require that your students enter a numeric PIN#, similar to a password.
NEW TIP: You no longer have to distribute pre-assigned PINs to students. Instead, you can allow the students to enter their own PINs the first time they access the Class Portal. (If you prefer, you may still assign PINs yourself.)
School Access Code
SYBP-RYMF
replace code
Students read announcements and project instructions
Once students log in, they will be able to read announcements that you may enter for their grade, and review project instruction text or video. These are optional features, but very helpful in eLearning situations or just as a reminder of assignments.
Students submit artwork, titles and statements
Students then photograph and upload their own artwork, as well as enter optional art titles and artist statements.
You review student submissions
You will be notified to review student entries before before they are published in your school gallery. If corrections need to be made, you can either send the entry back to the student or just make them yourself. Upon acceptance, you can also enter optional "feedback" that the student and parent can read.
TIP: Students can "scan" the QR code directly in the app and avoid having to type in the code by hand.
Remote Learning
If students are using Class Portal from home, here are instructions for getting logged in.
parent instructions letter (with QR code)
Announcements
Give assigments or other instructions to your students, which show on their "Home" page after logging in to the Class Portal.
NOTE: Students must use the iOS/Android app version 6.0.15 or higher (or use a browser to the web portal) to see these announcements.
Advanced Settings
Customize how students access Class Portal and what they can submit.

I am so excited to be your child's art teacher this year. It is my goal to teach EACH CHILD how to observe and interpret what they see in attractive and/or meaningful ways, just as they learn the elements involved in creative writing or playing sports.
In order for them to do so, they need to be given the tools that will help them develop their personal expression, creativity and style. I will be surveying families to see what you have and what you might need.
The elements of art are like numbers, words, or musical notes- they are the basics, which are manipulated and combined in different ways to achieve an artwork. In art class, each student learns about the art elements: line, shape, color, texture and space among other techniques. Making art is a process and one that I am lucky to enjoy with your children.
