My 6th grade will occationally learn about artists and art styles from Scholastic Art magazine. I love using this magazine because it helps to get a little cross-curriculum integrated into my lesson. They get to practise their reading skills by reading aloud, and the short quizzes that come with the magazines help the students to practise valuable skills used in taking their Standardized Tests. At the beginning of the year, the 6th graders read about a variety of graffitti and "Urban Art" styles. They had to use a style or artist that they read about in their own artwork. We were also learning about drawing and shading forms - so students brought in their favorite beverage cans to use as the subject of their Urban Art.
