Tod Spedding, Grades 2/3 TeacherThe International School of
MontereyMonterey, California
a presentation to The European Council of International
SchoolsAnnual Conference
November 2004
Students in a self-contained second
grade classroom worked in a single
medium (soft pastel chalk) weekly over
an extended period. The process of
image-making, and the body of work
produced, reveals much about the
individual student, and the worlds of 6-
8 year olds generally.
Agenda• Background
• The Work
• The Significance
• Next Steps: Making Thinking Visible
Understanding Goals• art is a powerful vehicle for deepening understanding: of myself, my friends, and
my world
• soft-pastel chalk is an ideal medium for use with younger children
• children develop an understanding of a medium; this takes time
• the work reveals a reservoir of imagination and affinity for play/self-
expression consistent with other aspects of the childrens’ development
Personal Aims
• to solicit your feedback
• to provoke three questions:is art in the classroom important?
why is it important? how important is it?

Basically, it’s a picture with lots of designs. I put in boxes, and they’re full of
colors and lines. I disguised my name, because it’s really cool. The ice cream came from Zoe, these
colors came from Skye-Marie. The idea of the hot dog just
came up.

This is from Tiger Rising (a novel by Kate DiCamillo). The part I was
thinking about was when they (Rob and his mother) were looking out the window and his mother was saying,
“Look, Rob, isn’t that the prettiest color of green.” She was there every morning with Rob. I put Rob’s hair up and down because I thought he
didn’t just have flat hair like his mother.
