Text of the page (random words):
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 students asked jon and kristian for autographs after holding discussion with the class what was more amazing than anything was the fact that my students held great discussion and questions with our artists they asked thought provoking questions about their jobs and it was so great to see the critical thinking skills and inquiring ways of my students i would jump in and ask my students questions back and also ask questions in relation with 21st century skills here s more information about kristian http www kristianday

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 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 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 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 posted by miss kati oetken at 6 58 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels kindergarten modge podge centers with kinders seen art creating a personal masterpiece 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 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 yes this student did his work upside down but he came up with the concept of making his own starry night using these materials perhaps a self portrait 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 posted by miss kati oetken at 5 25 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels center based learning children s book art kindergarten friday march 23 2012 who s coming to our artist dinner party 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 our claes oldenburg food on our famous artists place setting for our artist dinner party posted by miss kati oetken at 6 51 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to

said these very profound words every child is an artist the problem is to remain an artist once we grow up well let me just say that myself along with my students follow this everyday i have managed to stay a kid myself and show that art is a really an exciting journey that connects history and cultures from long ago to now we start with a history time line that takes us on an adventure from when the cavemen first roamed and were the first to create the some of the most beneficial art the earth to the discovery of the art in designing and making the egyptians sarcophagus to monet s dabs of paint forming the beautiful waterlillies to picasso s misunderstood mixed up faces in his portraits to modern art such as the glass alien like forms like that of dale chihuly phew and that s just a
