blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 8th grade self portraits snapchat wednesday march 9 2016 street art do you think it s rad or does it make you mad i know that the topic of street art being taught in the classroom really hits some of those hot buttons for art teachers me personally i m all for it my students love looking at it talking about it and they are so engaged by it i live in such a community where students are exposed to street art all the time whether it be a commissioned mural street performance or tags defacing spaces under bridges it s part of their culture i m not going to fight it i m instead going to talk about it first it s important to properly define street art when discussing with students i break it down into two categories public art and graffiti public art permission graffiti no permission some of my favorite discussions i ve had with my students is the is street art legal vs illegal the entire class gets into it and it encourages students to take a stance and voice an opinion sometimes it gets heated and i love it sometimes talking about art is just as great as making it really i just want my students to understand what it is and know that it goes beyond banksy but nonetheless it s always going to be one of those projects that students are into because it s personal and like it or not the finished product looks cool this is certainly not a groundbreaking project it s been done time and time again but here s my version a little stamping action with one of those yellow and green sponges makes for some nice bricks if you re looking to find ways to rationalize street art in your classroom check out this article that breaks down 10 things we can learn from street artists 1 it s important to take risks 2 give without expecting a return 3 challenge the norm 4 be fearless 5 question everything 6 persistence pays off 7 collaboration enhances productivity 8 creativity is a universal language 9 context is everything 10

banksy naea naea 2016 street art friday january 8 2016 value still life with a bonus i don t know how your students are but when we get started on a still life project it takes awhile for my students to remember and know what a still life is i find it so beneficial for my students to draw from observation especially as young developing artists for this project 7th graders were required to draw from observation if they wanted to incorporate something in their drawing it needed to physically be sitting on the table in front of them no reference photos many students chose to bring in their own objects but for those that didn t they got to choose from some of the awesome props i keep in my classroom as an added bonus students were to invent an area of their drawing where the color wheel would be incorporated so they did get to do a little inventing here are some of the awesome results in other news i started writing for the art of ed make sure to check out all of the awesomeness they have going on over there but don t worry i ll still be sharing my classroom happenings here share this post on facebook twitter pinterest other value still life with a bonus posted by unknown at 5 30

2016 the alphabet challenge yeah i know my absence on here has been real but good news everybody i made it through my first semester of middle school this 8th grade project was all about themes the

participating around the world i even dabbled in it a little bit s is for sprinkles duh my middle school students are obsessed with instagram so when i told them about this they were just excited that
