Student artists have the entire day to finish.
Monitor your class. Classes work at different paces, and some classes will need two days to complete their project. If some of your students need time to finish, you can use the sixth day making sure each student artist who is finished fills out an artist statement, and have students who are done help you to document their artworks, and set up a display for them.

SWBAT reflect and write an artist's statement.

Carefully complete their work, their artist statement, then work on the Myth Development handout
Tell the students that they will have the entire day to color and finish their work.
When they are done, they can work on their artist statement.
Afterwards, explain to them that when they are finished they should finish their Myth Development handouts.
Check for understanding by asking, “Who was listening closely that can sum up what we are doing today?” Make sure that student artists can list all the steps and clarify anything that needs clarifying.
Encourage them to work carefully and intentionally—treating each area with a texture that is specific to that area. Ask them about the decisions that they are making to make them aware of focused artistic decisions; i.e, “Why did you decide to use a short, diagonal line pattern?” Keep the observations neutral and let the student artists take it from there.
STUDENTS SHARE THE WORK OF THE ARTIST THEY INTERVIEWED.
Depending on the teacher’s style of classroom management, it might be helpful to only choose and train a few kids to clean. Make sure to train these helpers well in advance so that you aren’t left with a messy room.
Clean-up times will vary with materials; get to know your class and allow 5-10 minutes depending on how efficient they are and whether or not the material was messy.
Have the rest of the class gather close, choose a partner, and interview them about the artistic decisions that they made.
Have students come up and present the work of the person they interviewed. The artist is not allowed to say anything until the end.
It might be worth setting aside some time to look at all the work their fellow classmates made; whether through a presentation in the hall or setting them out on a table and having a walk through.
As students finish, have them work first on their artist statement, then on the Myth Development Handout.
