Thinking Routine Thursday (3rd-5th)

Using Harvard Project Zero’s Thinking Routines, students learn about women artists by looking closely at several developmentally appropriate artworks, contributing respectfully to open-ended discussions; posing questions; sharing their opinions; and making connections between visual art and their world. These experiences engage students’ observation and inference skills; improve vocabulary; foster social emotional learning capacities; and introduce various artistic techniques and media.   

Theme options:
The Make a Wish (3rd through 5th grades) resources encourage students to view, discuss, and create visual art that explores the growth and development of people, plants, and animals.

The Powerful Beyond Measure (3rd through 5th grades) resources encourage students to view, discuss, and create visual art that recast classical portrait traditions to celebrate contemporary identities. 

The Art & Advocacy (3rd through 5th grades) resources encourage students to view, discuss, and create visual art that connects to individuals and communities for the purpose of inspiring social change.
