Third Grade Greeting/Introduction

Third Grade Greeting/Introduction:

Welcome to art class! We are going to have an exciting year together in art, full of discovery
and art making. We will draw, collage, paint sculpt and weave. We are going to continue to learn what it means to be an artist and how to work like an artist.
Every year we go over our class expectations. 
1. Take care of people
2. Take care of stuff
3. Behave like an artist 

This year we want you to work in a group to list the way we meet those expectations. 
For example How do we take care of people in the art room?
1. 
2. 

So now it is your turn to answer this question at your table. One person will write the answers. 

Share some of the answers.

Now let's move on to #2. How do we take care of stuff in the artroom?
For example, when we are done with a marker, we should place the cap back on till it snaps, so that the marker doesn't dry out.
Share.

Lastly, How do we behave like an artist?
One way that I show I am an artist is I think about what I'm going to make before I begin.
 I always start with an idea even though it may change along the way.
