splish splash splatter splish splash splatter monday april 4 2016 hot air balloons this was a fun project to do with my 4th graders incorporating 2 d 3 d art along with portraits to begin the lesson we reviewed what we know about the difference between 2 d and 3 d art and compared and contrasted the two next i gave the students white tempera paint to paint their clouds on their blue paper while that was drying students drew the basket and worked on making their balloons i demonstrated how to fold a small section of the paper strip at the end for gluing purposes and how to bend it to make an arc and glue the other side make sure to add lots and lots of paper strips so the balloons look full with no empty space showing last the students drew a small portrait of themselves in the basket i saved this step for the very end because even if they ran out of time for their person their artwork would still look complete i also know that if we would have drawn the person first they would not have had time to finish their project posted by rebecca at 8 11 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 2 d art 3 d art 4th grade elementary art hot air balloons portraits wednesday march 9 2016 1 fish 2 fish words cannot express my love for dr seuss and his imaginative books and illustrations in the art room using his books is the perfect way to connect art and literature i did this project with my kindergarteners last week in honor of dr seuss s birthday we read the book 1 fish 2 fish red fish blue fish together and came up with all kinds of rhyming words of our very own to begin the art project students were given a white 12x18 paper and painted their stripes across from the left to the right while that was drying we drew our fish on each color of 6x9 paper and cut them out lastly we glued the fish on the striped paper and displayed them next to our library posted by rebecca at 10 51 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels art and literature dr seuss kindergarten mixed media monday february 8 2016 black history month value portraits for black history month i wanted to do a portrait drawing lesson showing value scale last week the students were given one of 6 famous african americans and read a short biography about their person to begin the lesson we made value scales and practiced shading with pencil next students practiced drawing their person s portrait on a scrap piece of paper my main goal was for students to draw their person on their tie dye paper which we made in a previous class and use sharpies and pencils to add the value however i could see that this particular skill was far too advanced for 5th and 6th graders i quickly realized that drawing value portraits was too abstract of a concept for my students because they were instructed to look for the shapes that the highlights and shadows made on their faces most students got so discouraged that they stopped drawing altogether i had a week to devise another plan before i totally scrapped this project so i came up with the idea of drawing on transparencies and painting the shapes the shadows and highlights made by tracing them right on the transparencies i feel this was the perfect accommodation for my students in learning about value scales and realistic portrait drawings in the future i will start with this technique and develop another lesson to follow this one where students can create a grid drawing and paint the value scales on their own we will be displaying these striking

mittens this is a great art project to go along with the ukrainian folktale the mitten by jan brett we read the story together and discussed why the story is considered a folktale and what happened in the story that is unrealistic students were give blue paper and white colored pencils to fill their paper with snowflakes of different sizes and varieties next students traced their hands in the shape of a mitten and added lines shapes and colors lastly for some fun detail we added a yarn string and a giant die cut snowflake and some glitter posted by rebecca at 11 38 am 2 comments email this

lantern lesson can be used with any grade level and the results are so much fun the students really got into thinking about w parabolic line drawings i got this lesson idea from mr rees class blog www mrrees com the main idea of this lesson is to introduce students to pursuit cur symmetrical bugs this is a cute one day lesson i found over at davinciswings blogspot com i had pinned this lesson
