CDE Visual Art 6th Grade 4-3-A

I'm trying a new type of warmup, more of a closing to the day.  There are days that students need a full class period of studio time.  I like to support that with little breaks for when they hit a creative stop.  Today I introduced a concept for an exit ticket.  I provided students with a 3x3 piece of white cardstock and gave them a goal.  This was an exit ticket that had to be completed before the end of class.  I think it worked well and I plan to alternate this concept with my warmups.
