It eneviabtle, as an art teacher you are used for small group testing in public schools. However, this is such a great experience for me because I get to have the students explore art when they are done with the test. I find that it motivates the student to go slower on their test, really thinking about their answers. I use art making as a reward when they have completed their test and double (maybe triple) checked each of their answers.
Today I had three students in my testing group. When they finished their test, they were able to explore any of the many stations in my art room. (drawing station, painting, construction, etc) I was thrilled to see that each student chose something unique from the other. And let me tell you, you could hear a pin drop for the hour that they worked. It was a wonderful environment!
Here are some shots of what the students explored!
