4. The Headings for each Grade Level K-5 (with the exception of 4th grade- they did not do this
project yet, but can be done for the research if necessary) Showing the Data (pre-test) Collection
worksheet on the left and the Post-Test Drawing Sample -purposely chosen above grade
level to challenge all students to have the opportunity to demonstrate growth.
5th grade:
6. Note: These are not matched Student A pre-test to Student A Post test. It is a random sample
demonstrating a bell curve of some of the lowest beginner level drawings next to the top percent
of highest level drawings within that grade level. This is to demonstrate the range of abilities
within the grade level. This was also done to protect the privacy for the students on public
display. Direct student pre & post (student A-Student A) comparisons of individual work is
featured later to see increase / improvement / rise in drawing level for individual students. The
following 3 pictures are at the 5th grade level.

Intro to Drawing PowerPoint

cross-curricular connections
on next slide…
33. Synthesis:
Don’t forget, art is a PROCESS!
like writing a Language Arts paper...
1. Brainstorm (for idea to write about or draw)
2. Draft (with words for LA paper; with lines for drawing)
3. Edit, Revise, Erase, Redraw (if Art)
Rewrite (if LA paper)
4. Repeat (the process & practice as many times as necessary!)
5. Final Product (Not a 1-shot deal; Don’t expect to get it perfect the 1st time!!)
