6+Artist's+Writer's+Workshop+Thesaurus

__ Student Friendly Thesaurus __ I created this thesaurus to help students better utilize "silver dollar" words when writing about their artwork. Creating the thesaurus seems more user friendly to younger students and is a time saver for the art room (my classes are only 50 minutes long). There were ALWAYS additional thesauruses available for student use for alternate words not listed in our classroom made Artist's Writer's Workshop Thesaurus.

For my art room's purpose, I used these sections within the thesaurus to help students find alternative words quickly:

Colors Time of Day Areas of Landscape Weather Emotions

When making your own classroom thesaurus, think of what topics consistently occur in lesson plans and student work.
