Andy Warhol is not only famous for screenprinting in a repetative manner, but also for his illustrations and advertisements early in his career. He discovered a blotted line technique where he would draw with wet ink and before it dried, lay a piece of paper on top of the wet print and pulling a textured line print. He enjoyed how it wasn't perfectly uniform and produced a unique result.<br />

</div>I first drew a reproduction of Andy's cat and soup can that was very simplified. Then made copies. The key to pulling these prints is having watered down ink/paint, working quickly, and using just the tip of the bristles of a plastic bristled brush. Work fast or it might dry on you. We talked about this and what to do if it does. Put a plexi glass plate on the top of the photocopy. Have a piece of construction paper or white drawing paper with your name on the back handy. After tracing over with wet ink, quickly lay the paper on top. Rub the back then pull away from the plate to pull your print. After pulling the print, I told students they could look at Andy's prints for inspiration or simply create a new design!<br />

What an excited, eventful day we had in the art room! I surprised my 4th graders with celebrities! Real, successful, and unique artists from Des Moines! I asked Kristian Day and Jon Baldwin from the Des Moines, Iowa area to come and talk to my students about how amazing their jobs are, but also talk about what it really takes to be a successful part of the art world in the 21st century (especially with it's challenges and competition).<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Kristian Day is a successful independent film maker who has made some very successful documentaries. They have taken the Des Moines area by storm and sweeping across the nation! I attended a screening of one of his documentaries at the Des Moines Art Festival this past summer called "Hybrid Pioneer". It follows the life and eye into the unique style and life of the area artist Brent Housenga (more about Brent: <a href="http://www.brenthouzenga.com/">http://www.brenthouzenga.com/</a> and clips of Kristian's documentary). Kristian not only films but he does all the sound and editing. He is a composer and likes to take clips from his film and others and compose music to produce an artistic installation like experience. Absolutely amazing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Most recently his documentary called "Capone's Whiskey: The Story of Templeton Rye" which is the history of Iowa's role in the illegal moonshine production and creation of the famous brand Templeton Rye during the rich history of prohibition. Kristian actually got people, from over generations of staying quiet, to reveal their most intimate stories of famous history that had never been uncovered till now! You might have heard PBS having a documentary film series called "Prohibition". PBS aired Kristian's documentary right after it!!!! I watched it on PBS the first time. Then Kristian invited us to his documentary's premire at the Fleur Cinema and Cafe where many of the people interviewed were also attending to see it on the big screen. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Jon Baldwin is a successful visual artist in Des Moines. We works in all different kinds of media from drawing to painting to printing. He's very versatile. He shows in galleries whenever possible and has a thriving buisness of selling his visual productions. Jon also does commissions for buyers. Jon really did a great job of expressing how important passion is in your art and staying true to yourself. Don't be hurt by others when they say when they don't like your art. Take it in and take something away from it to learn about what you do. However, sometimes you have to cooperate and make changes within the way you make your art for a customer to make them happy. It is a business and you sometimes have to sacrifice your personal ideas to make your customer happy to create a good reputation. However, don't loose yourself and change to conform to everyone's liking. Jon explained you don't have to have the highest quality of art supplies to make successful art. He mentioned he uses all kinds of media including the same brands that we use in our art classroom!</div> <br />

They are lifelong learners. As soon as you stop wanting to learn and grow, you loose out on opportunities to be successful and overcome the competition. Artists are hardworking who don't ever stop wanting to be successful. Passion is their main drive to work through obsticles and creativity is what helps them overcome these obstacles. What inspired my students was the fact both artists said their career decision was made and inspired by art during their elementary years of childhood! Most of their art comes from concepts they discovered and loved as a child. I agreed with both artists when they said "Artists are really just kids at heart. We love to have fun through creating and sharing our ideas with others. Art is the way we communicate."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

I tell my kinders to write their name on the back of a big 12x18 piece of drawing paper at their tables. I count them down to encourage them to focus on getting their name on the back. Raise your hand if you're ready for directions! Everyone's hand is in the air, next step is to pick out 6 colors. Your magic number is 6. Pick out 6 chalk pastel from your container. I'll count ya down, you pick out 6 and have them ready. I start from 15. 15, raise your hand if you have your pastels, 14, have them out and read, 13 pick out your colors, 12, 11, 10......and I continue to count down until all hands are in the air.<br />

I have then on the white board where everyone can see, a piece of 12x18 white paper taped. I have my 6 pastels ready.

I tell them we're going to use the side of the pastel for a lot of the project. I show them and count them down from 15. 15, move side to side, 14, side to side, 13 side to side, ........ After we get a new color for each section, it's time for the fun part! Now it's time to smooth side to side, use the tips of your fingers on 1 hand. 15 smooth side to side, 14, smooth side to side, 13, side to side, moving up slowly, smoothing side to side.......now we're going to get ready with a new color and then hold it in the air in 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. This time using the tip watch to see what I do to make the trunks: *do the downward motion strokes for trunks* Fast! Fast!Fast! Say it out loud! *kids fast, fast, fast* as they make the marks on their paper. Okay done in 5, 4, 3, 2, hold your color in the air. Okay, get your last color and hold it in the air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, watch. Using the side *demonstrate* we're going to make the tops of the trees to finish our Wolf Kahn pastel. Watch how I do it to fill the top area. *Demonstrate* Finish up from 15, 14, 13....... put your pastel down and your hand in the air, and the other in the, wave'em around like you just don't care, heeeeey hooooo.( I like to make it fun to listen:) ) I will call tables to wash hands, then dry and the table captain will wash your table and dry. Put your drawing on your chair and point to places where your table captain needs to wash and dry.<br />

</div>So I have been using Pinterest and it's fun to see those of you who enjoy lessons from my blog! I keep seeing my photos popping up when I'm exploring different art lessons! I like to look on Pinterest for inspiration and then figure it out myself or use an idea then make it my own by putting my own twist on it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6i4zIp7Jwh8cG3zy7D5gEB9KZrkuS3OShWGg_WiEAHBjLB2bHooZ1MxkVr6sxHUqJGAGVqr_lDqB-OubHwP3JL8-ItSb8_2tfsO-TGLNNPbgkNV8WePRb3xt3EB6ZTMFRgbS8Xh5bvJ8/s1600/2012-04-05+10.36.03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6i4zIp7Jwh8cG3zy7D5gEB9KZrkuS3OShWGg_WiEAHBjLB2bHooZ1MxkVr6sxHUqJGAGVqr_lDqB-OubHwP3JL8-ItSb8_2tfsO-TGLNNPbgkNV8WePRb3xt3EB6ZTMFRgbS8Xh5bvJ8/s400/2012-04-05+10.36.03.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here's how I did the jellyfish: I first showed them my example and talked about jellyfish and it's tentacles. We also looked at a photo of a jellyfish to understand it's colors. I think I'll show a video clip of different kinds and how they move in the water when we're finishing next time. There was a lot of prep for this art lesson: cutting tissue paper into small squares enough for alllll my classes, getting the modge podge mixed with water in styrofoam bowls (easy throw away), cutting up of the white strips of paper, wrapping all the styrofoam bowls with Seran wrap/plastic wrap, and cutting all the strips of different colors for the tentacles. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After you get that done here's the different steps: I have the students go to their seats first, write their name and class code on a sticker. The student peels off the sticker, walks up to the table to get their plastic wrapped bowl, sticks the sticker on the underside of the bowl. I showed students how to 'paint' on the stinky modge podge on one side of the paper, place it on the top of the bowl, paint on the top of the strip, and smooth it down with your hands. Get messy. Keep placing the white strips in a radial design covering the plastic wrap. Make sure to paint modge podge on top and smooth down. Then get around 6 or so different colored squares of tissue paper. Lay on top of the white strips and paint Modge Podge to seal and smooth down.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When it's dry, pull plastic wrap carefully away from jellyfish. Throw away plastic wrap. Keep bowls for another use. Poke two holes in the top for fishing wire/string to hang. Attach tentacles with dots of Elmer's glue to the underside. Crumple the tentacles for added texture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>I decided to try out this center based learning. For art I felt it was an exploratory station based art lesson. Centers are said to provide individual/independent based learning where students use their own problem solving skills to acheive high levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. For kinders, I read the book "Seen Art?" which is a book all about a boy who's trying to find his friend named "Art" and wonders upon the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York City. He keeps trying to tell the people from the museum that he's looking for "Art" and they think he's talking about art in the art museum, not his friend! The illustrations (by the famous Jon Scieszka) incorporate real photos of all kinds of famous masterpiece art works from famous sculpture, to famous paintings, prints and even examples of famous historical artistic film. <br />

</div><div align="left">For our art lesson, I told kinders to design a masterpiece of their own exploring different types of materials. How are you going to use these materials? I made copies of a "masterpiece" frame I drew and then at the top I typed "We read the book "Seen Art?" by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith. We looked at famous masterpieces from the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). We then went to different stations/centers to create our masterpiece." I designed different 'centers' stations that had different and unique types of materials. It was up to the student to decide how they wanted to use this material and how to incorporate it into their masterpiece.</div><div align="left"><br />

</tbody></table><div align="left"> Here are the different types of 'centers' I did. Markers and color changing markers, liquid watercolor in spray/spritz bottles, crazy cut scissors with scrap construction/painted paper and glue, scissors with tissue paper box with glue, crayons/glitter crayons, and colored pencils/metallic colored pencils. I instructed students to use whatever they wanted however they wanted to create their masterpiece. Listen for the timer, 3 minutes at each center and follow the numbers of tables. We rotated from station to station and when we were done we kept them out and looked at everyone's.</div>Miss Kati Oetkenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00499832860034327878noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651900906385382425.post-72466654159847126922012-03-23T18:51:00.000-07:002012-03-23T18:51:39.303-07:00Who's coming to our Artist Dinner Party?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTqfYTMEWVPn0p-fnKuS9lw8w3FvN3DxDzxf7jtodvBr9KMNsBla-LM9z7CvbPTt1rnaf9CiUamK4D93kFwZIk1251OBILYVSJFxGjJFhsNL1Btk9gxVhWch_FohqRsawEWRCVkm52pAY/s1600/art+blog+stuff+314.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="300px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTqfYTMEWVPn0p-fnKuS9lw8w3FvN3DxDzxf7jtodvBr9KMNsBla-LM9z7CvbPTt1rnaf9CiUamK4D93kFwZIk1251OBILYVSJFxGjJFhsNL1Btk9gxVhWch_FohqRsawEWRCVkm52pAY/s400/art+blog+stuff+314.JPG" width="400px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I love this art lesson and so easy to do, fairly inexpensive, and goes with our Claes Oldenburg clay food! It does take a bit of patience and prep tacking the plastic silverware and plate down to a sheet of 12x18 drawing paper. I don't glue the fork's handle down, just the prong part, so that the students can sneak the folded paper napkin square under the fork and glue it with Elmers glue to the paper! This is a great lesson for the end of year to review famous art and artists. I put up visuals using my projector and students got to pick which masterpiece and artist they wanted to have at our artist dinner party! I put up about 6 different artists and kept other posters out as well- but nothing way too complex to try to make your own. I told students to write the artist's name in the bottom corner so they would 'know where to sit'!<br />

2nd grade reviewed the large scale food sculptures of Claes Oldenburg. We compared and discussed which ones were soft sculptures and which ones were hard sculptures of the different food sculptures. We also reviewed that all were very large scale sculptures. Then we brainstormed what kinds of food we could make. We went through clay techniques and procedure. Next time after they're fired, we're going to paint them and then glue them to a small white paper plate to display our yummy foods! Here are a few examples from last year!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4th graders learned about Cubism and the founders of this art movement, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque (just for the record I totally messed up the pronounciation when I talked about Georges Braque. How do you find proper pronounciations?! HERE!!!---><a href="http://inogolo.com/">http://inogolo.com/</a> Amazing. We looked at a powerpoint all about Cubism (<a href="http://presentations.pppst.com/isms-cubism.ppt">presentations.pppst.com/isms-cubism.ppt</a>). It does a nice job of providing discussion and visual with the class and explains Picasso and his periods (blue and rose) and examples. It also does a nice job of explaing what Cubism really is- a way of making art by combining all different views of an object or person into a painting or a single drawing plane.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4th graders learned how to make a distorted Cubist self portrait using black glue to outline and then bright watercolor and pattern! We first traced a skinny rectangle that would become the distorted head/face. Then made a creative line down the middle, making sure to add the nose. We talked about characteristics of Picasso's portraits like the large noses and how the eyes were always uneven because of different views combined. We also talked about making funky creative ears, eye brows, and lashes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3rd graders are finishing their Asian Art unit with learning how paper was is made. We learned how the Chinese invented paper in the year 105 and was made very similar to how we made paper today. Earth day is coming up in April and what a great way to recycle used paper! We talked about safety first and made sure everyone knew what their job was. I mentioned that listening to procedure and rules today was very important because safety comes first.</div> <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Let me just say, if you've ever made paper with 24 students, it requires A LOT of classroom management. It's organized chaos, so making sure everyone is following those directions is important to keep everyone safe. We have a checklist we discussed on the board and how to use it. Important to stress safety rules:). Everyone did great though following all directions! Go 3rd grade. First students tore their used paper into quarter size paper pieces. I told students we will have 2 class sessions to make a sheet of paper and probably only 2 students from each group of 4 would get finished with their sheet of paper due to only a 45 minute class period-so just have fun!</div> <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">All these supplies were needed. First a cup for measuring (small cottage cheese container) to follow recipe, your table's blender (heavy duty extention cords talk about walking safety so no one trips!), a dish tub to contain the pulp and pour the pulp over the screen, resin coated magazine pages (a magazine-tear out one sheet and put name and class at the top with pencil-the paper will pull off easier when dry), sponges to soak up the water from the screen/pulp and to squeeze out the excess in the tub, and of course extra white paper that's old or used/recycled. I had students raise hand when the recipe was ready for paint and for me to pour in a color of their choice. Glitter was also an option. Dump out the extra excess pulp in the garbage from your blender and from the tub to start fresh with a new load of paper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I told students to "KEEP IT CHUNKY" -like barf. Yes, barf. They were already screaming "EWWW GROOOOOSSS!" so I just ran with it. Keep it chunky-the paper pulp that is! I explained if you make it too thin it won't be thick enough to gently peel off your magazine. I had a good time teasing them pretending to barf as I showed how to pour it onto their screen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Pour on top of screen, hold over tub and let some water strain out. Then make a barf sandwich...do you love my terminology? This means gently flip over the screen so it's on top and the pulp is the 'meat' and the other slice of bread is the magazine. I had the kids repeat the saying "SCREEN IS ON TOP!" Gently sponge the top and keep squeezing out the sponge in your tub to get rid of the excess moisure. Gently trace your finger around the edge of the shaped screen. This will help the paper keep the shape of screen you chose. Go back to the screen selection table, gently peel off the screen off the top of the pulp and drop off. Carry to drying rack.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I can't believe it, but I forgot to post about my one of my favorite art lessons from last year where we did the cakes! I'll get to that later...let's stick to this year. We just finished making Wayne Thiebaud "3 Ice Cream Cones" themed art in our own style and "3 Cupcakes". I showed students this clip of Wayne Thiebaud talking about his art. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI_QJ5D9Qm8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI_QJ5D9Qm8</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the ice cream waffle cones, we traced a triangle on brown paper 3 times. Then took a brown crayon to make "X's" for the ridges in the waffle cone. Cut out and glue the first cone's point touching the middle bottom. If you do that than you helped manage the even spacing for the other cones! Glue the other 2 on.</div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the cupcakes, I premixed silver paint/water mixture and painted a bunch of gray pieces of paper, dried them, and cut them up for individual "cups" for the cupcake. I showed students outline with black crayon and how trim the paper. Cut out and glue all 3 cups on your long 12x18 paper. At each table I had a different pre-mixed joint compound mixed with paint. We used popsicle sticks as spreaders. I got this amazing concept from <a href="http://elementaryartroom.blogspot.com/2011/01/wayne-thiebaud-creations.html">http://elementaryartroom.blogspot.com/2011/01/wayne-thiebaud-creations.html</a> . Then it's time to add some sprinkles before letting them dry. Add sequins for added dimension or 'candy pieces'.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</tbody></table>This is by far one of my very favorite art lessons-but last year got busy and I forgot to post this! How could I?! Well here it is. Wayne Theibaud makes these mouthwatering depictions of cakes, pies, ice cream cones, floats, and many kinds of candy. He likes to give his paintings demension by thickly applying his paint to mimic the frosting on his cakes and sweets. We were inspired by these sweet confections and had a choice at making the float or a cake!</div><br />

Students then could use metallic crayons, construction paper crayons, and regular crayons to press hard to outline their cakes and decorative frosting.<br />

HERE's THE COOL PART- in the students' rinsing water container, I added a couple drops of either vanilla extract, orange extract, or lemon extract to make it like a scratch and sniff painting!!! It smelled like a bakery in the art room!!! We loved it.<br />

For the ice cream float, I showed students how to trace the scoops, and they should make 6 different flavors! Add detail with toppings to show us what kind of ice cream it is. Outline with crayon. Then watercolor on top!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Let dry and then the real fun begins! I told students for our 2nd classtime, to cut out carefully. For the ice cream float, assemble scoops on top of each other like a tower. Now it's time to decorate! We had different tasty stations! Whipped cream table was cotton balls that you can gently pull apart and apply with glue for whipped frosting or whipped cream! We also had a candy station that were jewels and sequins, a yarn station that could be the 'piped frosting' designs, syrup on the ice cream sundae/float, r 3-D layers of frosting inbetween layers of cake, and then finally a sprinkle station with real sprinkles! Oh and for those floats, I had a hot glue gun station to glue a REAL bright colored straw to the back to make it look like it was sticking out!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For our final step, we took cake plate tracers and 'glass float dish' tracers, and traced on clear overheads with a permanent marker. Then used strong tacky glue to attach the cakes and icecream floats to their containers. Ta dah!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Kinders are learning about color and how the color wheel works. We started this project by first listening to Miss Oetken read Eric Carle's "The Tiny Seed" aloud. We also learned about the life cycle of a seed and the journey it goes on growing into a plat/flower. We noticed the cover had a large painted paper flower on it for the illustration. I reminded students that this is same artist/illustrator as "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". For our first session (this is a 2 or 3 part assignment) of 30 minutes I read the book "The Tiny Seed" and then each table was in charge of just one color and each person (4) painted paper with that color paint (12x18 pieces of paper). I informed the students we would be sharing these as a class and I would be cutting them up, so no words or names please! I was in charge of "indigo" for the rainbow. I showed students how to texturize their choice of painted paper. They could make line designs or pattern, they could use a comb through it, they could paint it solid, or they could paint it solid and then draw into it using the end of the handle of their brush. Then dry on the drying rack.</div><br />

2nd classtime: Before they came the next time, I had cut all the paper for their class into 3x6 pieces to cut petals out of. I sorted them by color into cool whip containers or whatever containers available. I started class by having a color wheel out and explained the color wheel is a guide for us to understand how color works, how colors are mixed and what you get when you mix colors together, and why is there a gray circle in the middle? That's why we'll have a gray center of our flower! I showed students how to draw with a pencil a petal on the WHITE SIDE preserving the nice painted side. I also demonstrated how the petals need to all touch and go on top of one another around in a circle (radial design). This can be tough for some students at this age. So demonstrating with precut petals and showing how they all need to touch in the middle works OR simply draw a small circle so that the students have something to 'touch' the ends of the petal to. It gives them a guide.<br />
<br />
I mentioned that you should only take one petal at a time to cut and then glue, and then you're ready for another one to be completed and so on. This worked better for my students. Sometimes if you don't mention this, you'll end up with a student with all his/her work cut out and NONE of it glued, and then it's lost, and then next time they have to start over! SO this is a good rule of thumb. Most of my students only got as far as getting all the petals cut out.<br />

</a></div>3rd session: This is our finishing day! I showed and reviewed the color order to double check with students that they had the correct order of the rainbow and we talked about ROY-G-BIV and explained that. I had 4 stations. Gray paper square station, grass stations (forks with green paint), and butterfly station. We have yogurt cups and I said to trace the bottom of it on the gray paper to get a perfect circle for the flower center and glue on. Next green painted paper scraps for the stem and leaf. Next station, butterflies. I just cut pieces of left over tissue paper into about 3 inch squares and showed the students to twist in the center and apply large glue dot to paper and attach. Draw antennae with pencil. Last step, grass station where the students used green paint with forks and rock back and forth to achieve the green grass on the bottom of the paper. Drying rack then take home next time.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3rd graders learned about ancient tea drinking traditions and rituals. We also looked closely at the shape and how they are elaborately decorated with symbols of their culture. First of all the teacup were fairly small and they didn't have a handle! They have a small 'foot' or base on the bottom. First I had to break the news that yes Model Magic is not waterproof and we couldn't actually drink from these cups. But we got over that in a hurry and were excited to decorate and design our cups!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Each cup was made with one small classroom package of white model magic. I tell students to pull off a quarter coin size piece/ball of clay. Put that to the side for the base. I show students the class pinch pot technique with their thumb. Then I show the technique of making a thick coil or a 'snake' with the quarter sized piece for the base/foot. Form into an "O" by connecting the ends of the coil. Just gently set the cup on the coil. Then write your name and class code on a small slip of paper and set cup on top, then on shelf. Just to give you an idea how big they are, they're about 2 inches across.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Now transfer your name and class with permanent black marker on the bottom base. Now it's time to design your cup! Use permanent sharpies, Chinese characters, and symbols to decorate the outside edge.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3rd graders practiced calligraphy and made these ink blown Japanese sakura (cherry trees). I showed how you first paint the trunk with the bamboo brush, then made a tiny dot or mini pool of ink on the edge of the trunk and with your other hand holding onto a straw blow the ink quickly before it dries. The ink is blown into a thin stream to make branches. I even showed the students how to make a branch of another branch by making, again, a tiny little dot and quickly blowing air through the straw to make extend the branch. Keep making branches and blowing (not sucking!) through the straw till you're satifyed with your tree. Next time we'll attach little pieces of pink tissue paper by rolling around the eraser end of a pencil, adding a dot of glue, press down on the a branch to attach the blossom, and twist to give it a blossom shape. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Using a pencil, students can 'create' a character to represent their name or choose a character that represents who they are (ex. patience), and press into it to create a relief printing plate. Then using a small brush and some red paint, paint the surface lightly (less is more!) and then press the plate onto the bottom corner area for their 'red seal'.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3rd graders made these fans while watching "Between the Folds". We looked at important symbols in Asian culture, rituals, and in art. Some of these symbols were the bamboo branches, the sakura tree or cherry blossom trees/branches, chinese dragon, calligraphy, and koi fish. We looked at visuals (making sure scratch paper was underneath) drew with pencil first if needed, then went over it with black permanent Sharpie markers. I told students to fill in with crayola waterbased markers for the background. I will be spraying these fans down with water. Everything that's done with permanent marker will stay the same, everything with waterbased markers like Crayola markers, will blend and blur together like watercolor (the wetter it gets the more it blends and looks like watercolor!). With that being said, I advised students to fill in their permanent color drawings and turning it into a silhouette or leaving it open and just coloring with waterbased markers over the top. Don't draw with the markers, fill in with the markers! Check out some of these amazing fans!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We even watched a wonderful clip from Reading Rainbow that takes you on a step by step video and explanation of how calligraphy works in a calligrapher's studio. From the brushstrokes to the final individualized red seal or stamp that acts as a 'signature' on a lot of Asian art, especially calligraphy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div> Students were given authentic bamboo handle brushes and ink. Students were encouraged to take home the Calligraphy handouts that had instructions on how to hold the brush, the order of strokes, and examples of characters with English translation above. They also took home their practice calligraphy to show off. Students enjoyed the challenge and exploration. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh! And I can't forget, my Buddah Board! So this is one of my favorite toys. It's a water sensitive board that comes with a stand that has a water basin to dip the bamboo brush it comes with. When water touches the surface it turns black like ink. If students have free time they can come up to my desk and try it. I tell the students who are in line to count to 25 and then it's the next person's turn. What happens is the water evaporates from the board and it 'erases' itself! Then it's ready for a fresh start. The kids love it! No ink allowed though and clean hands have to be a must!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1st graders learned about the Lorax and the need to save nature and the Truffula Trees in Dr. Suess' Lorax. I wanted to read the whole book, but, it was very long for one art class to focus, and then to have them refocus on the project, that wasn't super easy in the first place. So I thought of another route. I showed them the book and some illustrations, and then showed a clip that summerized the book and movie. How convenient that the movie was coming out. The students were already excited. I explained the movie was based on the book and carried the same concept of how we need to put greed aside and care about nature and take care of our trees. I actually got this idea from <a href="http://www.artprojectsforkids.org/search?q=truffula">http://www.artprojectsforkids.org/search?q=truffula</a> . How neato!!! I had to do it with my students. I tweaked it a bit, but this is an accurate tutorial. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Students got to pick from the Truffula tree colors: cotton candy pink, bright yellow, bright orange and purple. I had these colors of yarn to make the trees at different tables. I also had fine bristle brushes (from the Dollar General store), 3x4" pieces of cardboard, and scissors. Follow the tutorial in the link listed above.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When students were finished fluffing their Truffula tree, they went to the trunk station. I have bright colored straws to choose 1 for a trunk. Then I had permanent black markers to make Dr. Suess' signature style zig zags as seen in the illustrations in the book. Students then came to Miss Oetken at the hot glue gun station, where I glued their Truffula tree top onto the trunk. Then they went to the last station, the Lorax station to get a copy, color it in with colored pencil , cut out, and use a piece of scotch tape to tape it on top so it looked like the Lorax was holding onto the tree. The students LOVED them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">2nd graders had some fun with making art based on Dr. Suess' books for his upcoming birthday! First Miss Oetken read the tongue twisting book, Fox in Socks. The students laughed and laughed. Then I showed them how to make Dr. Suess's illustration of Fox in Socks. I broke it into several easy steps. I even demonstrated it again in enlarged form on the white board. I told the students to draw with pencil lightly so you can erase easier. Then trace over with bold outline with black crayon or marker. Then color in with oil pastel on your orange paper. Have fun making it your own by choosing the colors of socks and whimsical grass. They all did AMAZING. While students were working on this project. I called table by table back to rubberband their socks, while they wrote their name and classcode in permanent marker on a freezer ziplock baggie. I was waiting by the sink with premixed black and orange RIT dye (Orange and black are the school's colors. These are great colors because students can wear them for Dr. Suess's birthday, spirit days, and support their school at sporting events). While the student would hold open the baggie, I would take the rubber banded socks under the water quickly to wet them, then squirt dye on them in the sink, and then quickly pop them back into the students baggie and zip and place on their shelf. Over the weekend I came in and took off the rubber bands, rinsed, and stapled washing machine directions on the baggies and zipped them back up to deliver to the classrooms. Students were VERY excited! How fun. Even the teachers commented on how they loved that I was tying in literacy and tying it back to theme they were studying in the classroom. They put it in their newsletter and told the students they could wear their socks on Dr. Suess's birthday if they wanted to!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">3rd graders are just starting our Asian art unit on the art history timeline! We started first by making watercolor effect chinese fans out of coffee filters with cultural symbols on them. While we worked on them I played the DVD called "Between the Folds". It's a documentary all about the art and science of origami. Totally facinating and the students are majorly wowed. You'll constantly hear "COOOOOOL!" or "WHOOOOOOOOOOOA!". Kinders even are wowed. I said it was an introduction into what we'll be working on next time....ORIGAMI!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

With origami the 3rd graders are really excited because it looks cool, but as soon as we start, the directions are more difficult and take time to read. Frusteration breaks out as soon as we start. So we had a short discussion about what's going to happen. Are we all going to be expert folders in this class period...No. They agreed. Is it going to take time? Yes. They agreed. Are you going to have problems and questions? Yes. Absolutely, they agreed. I explained that I had many challenges with learning how to do all of these. I wanted them to try them on their own and I would be rotating in a circle table, to table answering questions. What could they do in the mean time? Ask others for help. If they saw that someone was successful, teach each other! I said, I want this to be fun and maybe you have another way of making your own origami! Then, the stress was taken off and the students were working independently.</div><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"> </div> 3rd graders first finished making their Asian tea cups (another post) then they could grab 3 pieces of colored origami paper. I had extra plain white pieces of paper in case they wanted to make more! Then they go over to see what 3 designs they want to make and grab the corresponding directions. I also had out colored Sharpie markers that they coud use to add pattern to jazz up their origami! Also they can add detail if desired. We ended up having a blast and talked about how we had hurdles we had to overcome but enjoyed the out come and challenge! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Jim Dine was our inspiration for these freshly baked "paper" sugar cookies! I found a bunch of aging manilla paper and cut it in half to form a 6x12 pieces and had seen an art lesson like this on Artsonia a while back. We discussed and looked at heart art by Jim Dine. For this lesson I really wanted to keep the creativity open so I simply gave them the criteria and order of supplies to be used and brainstormed with them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

That's the only part that will show because of the lace doily and cookies overlaping on top. While the paint is drying. I tell students to trace their sugar cookie heart on the colored 'icing' or colored construction paper. I had lots of different pinks and red out of cut construction paper. Then fold in half to trim the outter edge all the way around to make it smaller so when you glue it on, you'll still see the sugar cookie edge. I told students to think about adding sprinkles and pattern by drawing it on or coloring it in with oil pastels.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">After icing and detail is added, I told students to glue the hearts to the doily incase your plate with paint on it is still drying. If ready and slightly wet, you can still glue on the doily, just be careful. Then, for the best for last. I had out white shiny Tulip fabric paint with some red glitter, pink glitter, and silver glitter fabric paints. I said it gives it the detail and effect of piped frosting! Neato. Oh and it gets better. I had a 'crystal sugar' (clear crystal glitter, not real sugar) station that you can sprinkle on if desired for the crystal sugar effect and it sticks to the fabric paint. The key is to keeping the small container of glitter in a box, putting the plate in the box, sprinkling the glitter, shaking it and then removing it. This conserves the glitter and the mess. It's easy to take the leftover glitter in the box and pour it back in the glitter container to be used again, and there's no real big mess everywhere either for our custodian!</div><br />

</div> Oh my gosh it's been so long since I've posted and I appologize for those who actually read this thing! This is always the busy time of year and it has hit! Let's back track to around Valentine's Day. I made a fun bulliten board that said "Artists who have a HEART for ART!" who have a Valentine theme in one way or another. I showed Britto's hearts, Robert Indiana's "LOVE" large scale sculptures, Jim Dine's "4 Hearts", we made Dali's mustache Heart Valentines (previous post). Here is a post on our Britto themed hearts. We folded a heavy weight drawing 18x12 piece of paper and traced (optional of course but it's important to have a it large) a heart in each of the sections. We looked at Britto's work and noticed for his hearts that 1 section is polka dot, one section is striped, and one is solid.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">We used our pencil to divide the heart into 3 sections. Then chose one section of each of the patterns. We used crayon or colored pencil. Crayon seemed to have a nice, bright, pure finish. Then the last step was to use 1/2'' plastic flat bristle brushes dipped in black acrylic to imitate that bold black outline. They look amazing! Everyone was proud!</div><br />

Kindergarten is going to be making Mustache Valentines! All I did was make some mustache tracers to trace onto brown paper pieces with white crayon so they can see and cut. They can pick one glittery heart to glue on somewhere. I wrote their names on popcicle sticks then had out a bunch of masking tape pieces around my table. Tape the stick to the side. I made copies of the saying "I MUSTACHE you a question...WIll you be my Valentine?" Gluing the saying on is the last step! Easy and fun and sure to get some laughs.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> 2nd graders are making 3-D chameleons! I read the book "A Color Of His Own" using YouTube projected on my white board. It's life changing to have the projector in your room, ask anyone. All of sudden, everyone can see exactly what you see and you don't have students struggling to see the pages when you read a smaller book! Here is a link to the story (I just muted it and read it aloud) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrE1LJjM8gI">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrE1LJjM8gI</a> . We discussed the story and talked about how it was a story of find what colors really express how you feel and who you are. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

First things first, we talk about where to put your name and discussed why. We decided on the MIDDLE of the paper on the back. That way, when we cut it out or it falls on the floor, the name will still be on the chameleon. We reviewed on how to use watercolor properly, but most students are almost experts now. We talked about symmetry and what it is. I explained how it's a mirror image and how how when you fold a piece of paper, what you cut on one side, will appear the exact mirror image on the other side when you open it it up. Think of a butterfly or of how you cut a snowflake and then unfold! That is how this project works for the Chameleon. We'll paint today, let it dry, then fold on the dotted line, then cut on the bold one, unfold and glue down the legs. (I'm going to tell them to pick their favorite tail and then cut off the other one, but that's for next time!:) )<br />

Now keep in mind we are using copy paper for this-which means it is prone to tearing. While explaining how to paint and blend I said, keep it away from the edge and showed them my example that was dry and how there was a white boarder. I asked "Why do you think it's important to keep a nice white edge and not paint it?" Students guessed right. It's so that you don't end up tearing the paper (since it's so saturated) when lifting it off the table. It seems to work well and a good rule of thumb. I did talk about making sure you have paint on the other side though so you don't end up with a completely white chameleon. Next time when it's dry, they'll cut out, glue on googly eyes, and glue down just the tip of the feet to a piece of paper of their choice.<br />

When students were finished I showed them a color wheel study where they needed to color in with crayon or colored pencil, the corresponding colors. We looked at the color wheels in my room for help. On the back was a color wheel with to tertiary colors (blue green, yellow orange..etc.) to color in. This keeps the color wheel fresh in their minds!
