Creating the Data Wall…

Grades: K,1,2,3 & 5

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:

5th grade

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.

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!!)
