I was able to get several packages of these <a href="https://store.schoolspecialty.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?minisite=10206&item=2616087">stencils</a> at the end of last school year and could not wait to use them this year! They are incredible and quite durable. I love the different size options available with each shape.<br />

Read students the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/When-Line-Bends-Shape-Begins-ebook/dp/B004H1UOO0/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1537120903&sr=1-1&keywords=when+a+line+bends+a+shape+begins"><i>When a Line Bends A Shape Begins </i></a>to inspire their lesson on using shapes to make art. I knew we wouldn't have time to create with shapes and also do a crayon resist......<br />

So the following week I read them <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=strawberry+book+of+shapes"><i>The Strawberry Book of Shapes</i></a> and it has some funny <b>laugh out loud</b> lines in it! Both books are available on Amazon, just click on the title to get there.<br />

Students in kindergarten and first grade did a great job making some really sweet art. I enjoyed seeing some of the abstract art made with the shapes as well as the houses, flowers, people and pumpkins.<br />

As promised last time here is the lesson I presented to my 4th and 5th graders. They did illuminated letters. I found an excellent <a href="https://www.slideshare.net/traciecampbell/illuminated-letters-introduction">SlideShare by Amy E. Bruce</a> on the internet that gives a history of illuminated letters. I shared the basic info with students, but chose different media.<br />

Then I made sure to let them practice on a small piece of scratch board to get a feeling for the medium. I let them know they were only getting one good piece of scratch board and any mistakes were going to be part of their creative process. "Make it work!" as Tim Gunn would say.<br />

They got a stern lecture on the scratch tool being a tool and not a weapon and if used as a weapon there would be a referral in their future.....BTW I always count the tools at the end of class.<br />

Three years ago when we moved back into our newly renovated space I had some serious money in which to stock up my art room. One of the things I decided to buy was a couple of scratch board kits. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Apparently I didn't buy enough for everyone to do it. Besides the kits came with these sharp scratch tools-so only 4th and 5th could do it. More about that next time..........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However trying to do similar projects/lessons with my students prompted me to come up with a way for the students in k-3rd to do scratch board.</div>

I was gifted a full box of cardboard which would be perfect for students to color on with oil pastels. They are much more vibrant and smoother to work with than crayons. They then painted over their art with black acrylic paint. Some of the students didn't understand and weren't too happy about that. The following week was definitely the <b>aha</b> moment!<br />

To inspire my students I shared this book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Want-Draw-Paint/dp/1631779893/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1535915527&sr=1-1&keywords=I+want+to+draw+I+want+to+paint"><i><b>I Want to Draw I Want to Paint by Marilyn Traeger</b></i></a> with them that I received at the FAEA conference last year. I actually got to meet the author, a retired art teacher who has a foundation to raise money for art supplies for low income students.<br />

Since I see only one section of a grade level a day, I created these little signs that hang on my drying rack to help keep track of student work.<br />

I demonstrated different ways to use lines in art to each grade level. They could do simple line designs, snakes, letters-basically up to them. My daughter also made stencils for me using her Cricut with some donated card stock.<br />

I decided to display some of the finished work during our "Meet the Teachers" night. I decided based on all the classes I saw that day and had time to hang up.... (Above is from a 2nd grade class.)<br />
<br />
It was fun to see the reveal as each student scratched off the black paint. Students were able to color the cardboard any way they wanted to. Which created some awesome effects.<br />

Last week's blog post was about a really fun product from <i>Faber-Castell</i> called Creativity Can. While it's not quite the same thing consider making your own Creativity Bag/Box activity?<br />
<br />
After all, how many of you have stuff you just don't know what to do with it? Popsicle sticks, bottle tops, stickers, buttons, pom-poms, scrap paper, other odds and ends? Or weird donations?<br />
<br />
Why not put all that stuff in bags/boxes for your students and have them create art? <br />
<br />
This lesson is a take off of a cooking show, <i>Food Chopped</i>, where contestants get a basket of food and their goal is to make a spectacular three-course meal. <br />

Back at school, I filled bags with a really odd assortment of things from my art room (see photo at the top). It was at the end of the school year and this was part of my effort to pack up the room for the summer. My 2nd-4th graders got the opportunity to do this project. And I have already been asked this year if I plan to do it again, as it was so much fun! BTW YES! Totally plan to do it again!</div>

I think it's important to give children unstructured art opportunities to have a chance to explore. I have also from time to time given them free art with leftover materials. For those of you that like giving students free choices to create in art all the time consider exploring <b><i>TAB</i></b> (teaching to artistic behavior) or <b><i>Play Based Art Teaching</i></b> with George Szekely.<br />
<br />
Was gonna plug the fact that at the FAEA conference in October there is a workshop <i>Art Chopped</i>, but it's already full! Guaranteed to be a lot of fun!!<br />
<br />
Soooo to recap from last week if you have a great budget and can afford the Creativity Can from Faber-Castell:<b>GO FOR IT! </b>If not, make your own!<br />

I am on the Teacher Advisory Committee for <b>Faber-Castel</b>l. A few years back I received an email that asked if I was planning to attend the <b>NAEA</b> conference. And would I be interested in attending a meeting with other art teachers to give some feedback on products that I use with my art classes. As a <i>"thank you"</i> for sharing with them I would receive <b>FREE </b>merchandise! Totally worth my time! The people that work for this company are the very sweetest people and quite generous with getting their fabulous product out there. <br />

Last school year I was sent a class box of their <b><i>Creativity in a Can</i></b>. I decided to share this with an intermediate class that earned the most Depp $ for the year. (Depp $ are part of my reward system for good behavior and correct answers. They can use the $ to shop from the treasure chest.)<br />

Each student in the 4th grade class received a can. Check out all the cool supplies that were inside! There was even a small tube of glue included. I put out scissors, crayons and extra glue for them. The directions were to have fun and use your imagination. There is no right or wrong way to be creative.<br />

The students had a blast! They totally enjoyed the freedom to create from all the different items included in the can. Being in a <i>Title One</i> school doesn't always allow for such a variety of materials.<br />

I really enjoyed watching them get creative and work to figure out how and what they would do with their cans and all the little goodies inside.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately this runs a bit on the expensive side for my budget but I can see this being a great product for small groups such as children who are home schooled, scout troops, church groups or daycare. Cans can be shared for collaborative projects. There can be friendly competitions.<br />
<br />
There are many possibilities for some creative thinking outside the can with this product from <i>Faber-Castell! </i><br />

My newly decorated cabinets, thanks to a parent who donated a big bag of rolls of vinyl. I have no clue how to use a Cricut so I made all the patterns by hand and just cut them out myself (the old fashion way...). The word: paper was done on the Cricut by my daughter. She also did a couple of words for me to stick on my other cabinets. Thank you Stephanie! <br />

Students will get to pick one twisteez wire, one button, one bead, one
pipe cleaner and one thin wire. And they will get a piece of packing
foam to do their design on. They may cut the twisteez wire and swap pieces with their neighbors. <br />

Our Reading Specialist gave me this book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Straight-Line-Wonder-Mem-Fox/dp/1572552050/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1534108026&sr=1-1&keywords=the+straight+line+wonder"><i>The Straight Line Wonder</i></a> by Mem Fox at the end of last year and it is adorable. It's about 3 straight lines that are friends and how one of the straight lines wants to express himself and try out other types of lines. You can click on the title to find it on Amazon, it's a little expensive so maybe you can find someone who has a copy to lend you.<br />

After reading the book I plan to hand out black strips of paper (18x1") and show the students how to use it to make different lines. Then they can staple one end down to white paper (18x3"), give their line a hat and do some lines to represent movement. I'm planning this for k-2nd. I think it will be something quick and easy to do on the first day of art.<br />

First week back I assign students to seats (it helps me to remember their names). We go over rules and we chat a bit about our summer. I love to gush at students and tell them how tall they got over the summer and how great they look. Soooo I'm kind of looking forward to tomorrow....... but I'm pretty sure all us teachers could use another week or two to gear up for the NEW YEAR!<br />

It was important to me to work on becoming stronger (my back surgery was over 2 years ago and I don't want to use a cane anymore). I decided yoga was the answer. The change it has made has been worth every penny. The aerial sling is used to help me balance and get a deeper stretch.<br />

Cleaning out my house was another accomplishment that was a long overdue. It's actually a new craze called Swedish Death cleaning. Which boils down to- get rid of your clutter <b>because your children really don't want your stuff.</b> Soooo basically I cleaned out, donate, sold and dumped lots of <b>STUFF</b>!<br />
<br />
We also put in new carpets and tile. That was a big job to empty out my sewing/craft room. But it looks great! And, <b>yes</b> that is a pencil dress hanging up on the door. A friend of mine grabbed it when another friend was giving some clothes away. SCORE!<br />

Visited a few museums over the summer for some incredible inspiration. The Clyde Butcher: Visions of Dali's Spain was amazing. There was a slide presentation that had Dali's art on one side and a photo of what inspired the art on the other side. This would be a great lesson on surrealism. I'm planning on having students use photographs from old books or magazines and add their own art to it, making surreal images.<br />

<b>BTW</b> Florida peeps conference registration starts Monday, August 6th <b>AND</b> <b><i>Cassie Stephens</i></b> will be one of our keynote speakers! I will be doing 2 workshops. Puppet Making and Hat Making!<br />
<br />
And what's a summer without doing a prop for my favorite community theater? I made Milky White for an upcoming production of <i>Into the Woods</i>. Then I decided to do a little photo session with her.....<br />

I did a presentation for docents at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art. It focused on how to engage students in activities in an art museum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also had training on Trauma Informed Care, a program which we will be bringing to our students. This was eye opening and hopefully something that will benefit everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Did some reading and lots of binge watching on Netflixs, Hulu and Amazon......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
In less then 10 hours I'm back to work for teacher's planning week and students will be back on the 13th. I feel pretty good on all the countless chores I brought up to date around the house and hope to continue to stay organized and clutter free.....<br />
<br />
Now it's time to turn my brain back on and plan for some lessons. I'm going to focus on lines. k-2nd will do paper lines and 3rd-5th will do lines with wire and air dry clay. Rules will be a super quick review with 2nd-5th. Should be interesting....<br />
<br />
With all I accomplished this summer, I just couldn't get myself to sit still in front of my computer to blog. I'm really sorry about that, there were many fun activities I did at the end of the school year to share. And I will as I get into the whole back to school/work groove!<br />
<br />

I would love to hear how your summer is going!</div>

I'm not a big fan of collages. But I am totally into recycling. And besides there <b>might</b> even be a question on the End of Course exam about collages........<br />
<br />
So I decided it would be fun and there <b>are</b> ways that I could incorporate it into future art lessons.<br />

It could be the start of teaching about storyboards for interior or fashion design. Scrap booking is still big and that's fun of lots for people. I also think it's good for teaching composition. My recycle bin at home was packed with some catalogs that would work really well and I had a stack of cardboard from one of my PTO moms.<br />
<br />
The first week I read the book <i>Trash! Trash! Trash!</i> (Sorry, couldn't find it on Amazon. Any book on recycling would work.) I cut the catalogs in half down the middle and removed the staples. Then I spread them across the tables for the students to go through them. Students could chose 10-12 pictures from the catalogs pages to put in their art folders for the following week.I suggested they come up with a theme for their collages.<br />
<br />

The second week students covered their cardboard with construction paper and placed their pictures down. The third week they added assorted stickers, foam pieces, buttons, puzzle pieces and other interesting doodads. In hindsight it didn't need to be 3 weeks. 1 or 2 could work depending upon your supplies.<br />
<br />
Students were able to add words to their collages with these labels. I received boxes of unused labels from a student's grandfather. They could use either side, however I showed them how to write backwards to create raised letters. <br />

I did these collages with my kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders.<br />
<br />
Soooooo had a bunch of these inserts from laptop boxes taking up space and decided to use them to make assemblages with older students. Did this with the 4th graders as they had seen an assemblage during their museum trip. Then as the last few days of school were upon us-I used them with 3th and 5th until they were <b>GONE!</b><br />

Collages are a great end of year activity. I am going to do a better job saving scrap paper in anticipation of doing it again at the end of next year.<br />
<br />
Friday was my last day with students and the next 2 days I will be cleaning up my art room.<br />

There were quite a few fun activities I did last week that I will share over the summer. Also if you are a Florida art teacher and are willing to travel to Sarasota or Palm Beach there are some interesting workshops being given by the FAEA. Click <a href="https://faea.org/programs/summer-workshops/">here</a> for more info. You don't need to be a member to participate, however it will cost less if you are a member.<br />
<br />

The Arrival After the Flood</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For several years now I have been taking my 4th graders to The
Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art. As part of this field trip, they get to see
their work displayed. Which is very exciting! Click <a href="http://primarilyartwithmrsdepp.blogspot.com/2014/11/museum-marvels.html#uds-search-results">HERE</a> to see how it all started! Just in case <b>you</b> would like to display your student's work in a museum.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<br />
As I prepare for this event, I check out what will be on exhibit at the museum to inspire my students so that their project will relate to what they will be seeing.<br />
<br />
The first time I saw the painting <i>The Arrival</i> by <a href="http://www.stevenkenny.com/home.html">Steven Kenny</a> something just clicked! Maybe because I'm from the north and I now live in Florida. But I absolutely love that painting. And with a little research I found his painting <i>After the Flood</i>, which again makes me think of Florida. I was really excited to see that <a href="http://www.stevenkenny.com/home.html">Steven Kenny's</a> work would be on display when I took my students to the museum.j<br />

(student work)<br />
<br />
After showing my students the inspiration paintings, I modeled how to use the paint to create an outdoor scene. I demonstrated a beach background, however I told my students it just needed to be outside. At the time it was winter in Florida and an art teacher friend of mine up north wanted me to do an exchange with her and her students. They would do a winter scene up north and I would do one in the south. Basically to show how different our winters are. <i>The Arrival</i> was the perfect way to start the conversation.<br />

The following week we practiced drawing figures with manikins and students drew what they wanted in their paintings on a separate piece of paper. They colored with markers and colored pencils. Then they cut out their figures and anything else they wanted to add and glued it to their paper. I showed them how to blend in what they had glued down as some couldn't quite cut out small areas.</div>
<br />
Check out how wonderful they came out! <br />

Soooo in the event you have clicked on the artists name and noticed how some of his art may not be appropriate for elementary students.......... I did include that information on the permission slips and did keep the children away from some of the more graphic paintings........ sigh.</div>

My storyboard.</div>
<br />
With the end of the school in sight it's time to start cleaning up. This is a super project for all those scraps of paper we tend to save (or hoard).<br />
<br />
I believe I found this project on Pinterest a few years back. <br />

Some of my samples on the board.</div>
<br />
Week 1 <br />
I started off the lesson with this <a href="http://www.mrsbrownart.com/powerpoints/Mosaics.ppt">power point from Mrs. Brown's Art</a> (you will download the pp if you click on Mrs. Brown's) that I found on the internet.<br />
<br />
Using my document camera I followed up the power point by modelling how I expected them to use the colored strips of paper to make designs. Also how we should use just a dot of glue.......<br />
<br />

They ALL went on the drying rack when they were done..... Some of them more gluey than others...<br />
<br />
Week 2<br />
I started off by sharing the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Planting-Rainbow-Lois-Ehlert/dp/015204633X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1525052001&sr=1-1&keywords=planting+a+rainbow#reader_015204633X">Planting a Rainbow</a> by Lois Ehlert <br />

Students did their mosaic design on 9x4" black paper, then glued the black paper to 6x18" white paper and they used markers for the flowers.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every school year I do a unit on functional art. This year we did lunchboxes. In the past I have done <a href="https://primarilyartwithmrsdepp.blogspot.com/2016/03/benches-on-parade.html">benches</a>, <a href="https://primarilyartwithmrsdepp.blogspot.com/2015/04/time-for-functional-art.html">clocks</a>, <a href="https://primarilyartwithmrsdepp.blogspot.com/2017/02/have-seat-making-chairs-in-art.html">chairs</a>, and <a href="https://primarilyartwithmrsdepp.blogspot.com/2017/02/birdhouse-art.html">birdhouses</a>. (Click to read those posts.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started out with a short slide show of different photos of lunchboxes I grabbed off the internet. The first one was your typical plain lunchbox.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsMfZsHOBPxx6OpHj2j3hcvXGmoZ94-yXIjJ809a_X6pGR79Lvm1jzbG6XI8hEkF9OYX1h_ZfkyoUjnK3mdk2rkDHWa0a1P-l6hP_6fI-r0Yf3-atqgmo801-fEgKZxCveAWqE6yZ7WIA/s1600/images.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsMfZsHOBPxx6OpHj2j3hcvXGmoZ94-yXIjJ809a_X6pGR79Lvm1jzbG6XI8hEkF9OYX1h_ZfkyoUjnK3mdk2rkDHWa0a1P-l6hP_6fI-r0Yf3-atqgmo801-fEgKZxCveAWqE6yZ7WIA/s200/images.jpeg" width="200" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started a discussion on what does it need to function as a lunchbox? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Answers: Latch, zipper, or Velcro to open and close it. Handle or strap to carry it. Large enough to hold food. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I showed several character lunchboxes and we segued into the definition of copyrighted material. In addition to character lunchboxes there are many whimsical and unique boxes and bags available. Definitely functional art! Just do a Google search to create your own slide show.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Students were directed to fold 18x12" paper in half. Their choice as to which direction to create a long box (hotdog fold) or short box (hamburger fold). Outside would be the design and inside would contain a healthy lunch. I did this with 2nd to 5th grade.</div>

So naturally I changed it out. I googled how to draw dragons and printed out a few different ones for students to choose from. The history behind dragons is pretty fascinating. Apparently they differ according to country of origin. I also decided we would use the empty boxes I had from the new laptops, which really aren't that new anymore... AND I had these 3D O's to pop out the dragons with.<br />

The first week we used Elmer's to glue the shapes down to a piece of cardboard. (Donated by one of our parents at the school.) I really enjoyed hearing the children ask for the shapes by their correct name. </div>

I kind of let students do what they wanted the first day, but the colors got muddy in a hurry and I decided they needed to choose one color. I pulled a few students at a time to do this. That meant the students back at their seats needed something to work on or chaos would be the word of the day.....</div>

They had some worksheets in their art folders and some drawing prompts to keep them busy. Still a little hectic...... but this was kindergarten and 1st graders, not sure what I was thinking. However, the looks on their little faces made it worthwhile. I will add that I constantly wonder what to do with students that miss the first or second week of a project. This time if they missed the first week that had a choice to make a robot with the shapes or print out one of my samples. Unfortunately if they missed the second week, then they didn't get to print because we had moved on. I feel really bad about this, but I'm one person and they just aren't independent enough to handle it on their own.</div>

Many, many, many years ago when my children were in elementary school before I was teaching art full time, I worked at a Day Camp. This was a pretty <i>fancy</i> camp because instead of being just an arts and crafts counselor, we had a speciality. I was the <b>leather craft</b> counselor. Now before taking the job I knew nothing about leather crafts <b>AND</b> this was way before Google! So I learned by going to my local <i>Tandy Leather Shop</i>. After doing that for a few summers, I invested in my own tools and did workshops as a visiting artist in schools and libraries. <br />

This hands on workshop, where children made a round leather key chain included lots of information on what leather was, where it came from AND what is made out of leather. I would show them part of a hide with the branding mark. I had lots of little items that I made out of leather and other skins that I shared with them.<br />

I would explain how to use a mallet and stamping tools to decorate their key chain with. The leather used is made specifically for this purpose. To stamp designs you wet it with water. We use sponges and tried <b>not</b> to completely soak the leather. This is done to make the leather soft enough for stamping with the tools.<br />

I would model how to hold the tool and use the mallet. I told them each tool was different and could be used to create patterns. When they were done I would dye it one color for them and add a beaded key chain. </div>

When I started working as an art teacher full time I applied for grants to purchase leather to make key chains with my students. I also would buy a bag of scrap leather pieces for students to practice on. They needed that experience because they would only get one "good" piece of leather.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now in my quest to clean out both my house and my art room I realized I had some leather available to use with students. They all wouldn't make the same thing and I couldn't do it across all grade levels, but I would match the amount of what I had left to the number of students in a particular grade level. The last time I did this my 5th graders were in kindergarten.</div>

Fourth grade made bookmarks, All used Sharpies to color them in. <br />
<br />
Now one of the reasons I'm sharing this is that I see requests on Facebook all the time about art teachers getting some money and asking for suggestions on what to buy. This is an absolutely wonderful way to offer something so very different for our students. And it addresses many of our standards: history, cultures, recycling, patterns, using different media, etc.<br />
<br />
Many of the tools can be purchased on ebay cheaper than my original cost over 25 years ago.<br />
All you need to start is a class set of mallets (I have 30) and maybe 3 dozen different tools. A leather hole punch if you plan on making key chains. Get some leather and sponges and you'll be ready to start! Seriously I think it can be done for under $200 NOT including the leather. There is a way to order leather in bulk as well as buying the hide and cutting it down to suit your purpose.<br />

If you don't know about the <a href="https://www.theartofed.com/">Art of Ed</a> website, you don't know what you are missing! They have wonderful lesson plans. One that I really like to do with my kindergarten and first graders is Van Gogh Sunflowers click <a href="https://www.theartofed.com/lesson-plans/lesson-van-gogh-sunflowers/">here</a> for your free download. While there check out what else they have!<br />
<br />
I start off this lesson by showing my students a photo of Dali's Basket of Bread. We talk about how we can see the basket, however we can't feel the texture of the basket. Then I pass a wicker basket around for students to feel. We then continue the discussion of texture you can feel and texture you can see. I show students some examples that I made of visual texture on a board along with the actual texture next to it.<br />

I also share a calendar of van Gogh's art where the photos are large enough to see the wonderful texture in his work. <br />

Then I take them step by step through the directions. They glue the black paper to the bottom of the orange paper. I did change out the directions for the vase as I showed them how to fold the paper to make it symmetrical.<br />

Happy 2018 everyone!<br />
I completely powered-down during my 2 week winter break. I read, I watched Hallmark movies and I went to Nashville for a few cold days over New Year's Eve.<br />
<br />
Besides the wonderful opportunity to visit my son and see his new house I LOVE to visit the <i>Frist Center for the Visual Arts</i>. Which happens to be about 5 minutes down the road from his new home.<br />
<br />
They have this incredible interactive room for children of <b>ALL</b> ages. And I believe many of the activities in this area would make for some incredible centers in our art rooms.<br />

This is a good way to learn about Abstract Art. You start off by drawing the way something looks, then you draw a simplified version of the object and then draw it exaggerated.<br />

What a great way to learn about public art. Display a photo of your school and have students create a sculpture for the front of the building or perhaps somewhere in the playground.<br />

Unfortunately not everyone has the room for a life size mannequin, but an area with several small mannequins would work out just as well. (BTW those are my 3 of my grandchildren from a few years ago. They loved the place so much they wouldn't tell me they were hungry because they didn't want to leave.)<br />

I have often managed to get foam shapes from an elementary math coach, otherwise you can cut out your own. Or have a volunteer cut some for you. Use foam or laminated paper. Maybe put magnets on the back and get some metal baking sheets.<br />

They also had an area to explore the current Nick Cave exhibit. With a make and take. Which I took and I can't wait to do a lesson with my students about his sound suits!<br />

Turns out they will be redoing this area soon and and can't wait to get back to see it!<br />
<br />
Centers in the art room is a great way to continue learning for those students who finish early. If you would like to see more ideas for centers visit my TPT site <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Art-Centers-for-Extended-Learning-1586678">here</a> for my free list of <i>Art Centers for Extended Learning. </i>One of these days I might actually add to the list........ The Hallmark movies aren't helping my productivity..........<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a wonderful new year! I still have lots of lessons to share and I'm pretty excited that I now have over 140,000 page views!!<br />

Pretty sure you have all read the story <i>The Little Old Lady That Swallowed a Fly</i>. Well apparently there is a whole series of books with a lady swallowing some pretty strange things. And then she gets up what she swallowed and creates something. In the book below the cold lady swallowed enough stuff to hiccup out a snowman. Amazon has it <a href="https://www.amazon.com/There-Cold-Lady-Swallowed-Some-ebook/dp/B009RZ39CA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1513565510&sr=8-1&keywords=there+was+a+cold+lady+who+swallowed+some+snow+by+lucille+colandro">here</a> if you're interested.<br />

I am really getting into the storyboards, it's so helpful for a student that missed the lesson without going into a long explanation. Remember a picture IS worth a 1000 words......<br />
<br />
I demonstrated by using a tracer to draw a circle in the middle of the paper. Next a U shape above the circle, a parallel line on each side of the circle.<br />

Add some mittens or gloves, lines for a long or short coat. Add a hat, legs or pants, boots or shoes and a scarf. Students in k-2nd grade had a visit from Santa recently and all the children received a hat, scarf and a set of gloves. I referenced his visit and had a discussion on all the wonderful patterns that were on their gift.<br />

Then it occurred to me that students could practice using different media while filling in the Craftsmanship worksheet in their art folders. I showed students the correct way to use markers, colored pencils and crayons. (A copy of the worksheet is on my resource page.)</div>

Students were encouraged to make some of their own decisions. They could make a girl or a boy, change out hats, change out stomach contents. They were given 12" x 18" paper. This took 2 class sessions. Use smaller paper if you want them to complete it in one class.</div>

This is a really fun last minute holiday activity to do with your students. I may have been inspired by a Santa that I came across that was painted onto a triangle. I started to wonder what else could be made with a triangle?<br />

Students were given triangle tracers that were 2" along the bottom and 4" on each side. They got white 6"x 9" drawing paper (paper should be folded in half, like a book) and a choice of markers and colored pencils.<br />

An intro to the lesson was a discussion about the <i>greeting card industry</i>. What kind of occasion would you give someone a card? Who designs that card? Did you know artists get paid to illustrate cards? Where upon one student wanted to know if he was getting paid for his card today.........<br />

I showed students the different ideas I had for using the triangle to make a card. They could use my ideas but they needed to add to it. AND of course they could come up with something on their own.<br />

<br />
This student ended up adding some Christmas things to his dinosaur, but I got too busy to take another photo. It did make me think the triangle challenge could be just about anything and not just the winter holidays.<br />
<br />
IMPORTANT UPDATE!! <br />
Came across an address on Facebook to send to recovering soldiers at Walter Reed Medical Center and decided students could do one card they keep and one card for me to send out. They ended up writing some beautiful sentiments inside the cards. Turns out the address was incorrect. Contact your local V.A. to find out the procedure to send them cards. <b>Thank You Tammy!!</b><br />
<br />
<br />
I've got 2 weeks until break and the students are beyond excited for the upcoming holidays!<br />

Here is a little something I do with either early finishers or students we are waiting for that are in Tier 3. Tier 3 is help for some of our students and takes place the first 20 minutes of Specials.<br />

When I have everyone in class I will present the next lesson we are going to work on. But in the meantime..........<br />
<br />
I modeled for students how to fill out the worksheet. Asking them the questions that are on the paper.<br />
The worksheets can be used with art posters, art post cards or art calendars. Since it was the first time, I had the many postcards that I collected from my many museum trips spread out for my students.<br />
<br />

Now that they know what to do. They will find copies of the worksheet and more postcards in the draw at the front of the room under the white board.<br />

My state standards include teaching 3rd graders about Positive and Negative Space. I provided patterns and a storyboard for this lesson. And while many of you frown about "cookie cutter" lessons, you gotta start somewhere. You can also consider this a practice lesson and have students create they own pattern for <b>H</b>igher <b>O</b>rder <b>T</b>hinking.<br />
<br />

The first class I did this lesson with, I had a lot of confused students. That's what made me decide to have patterns available for them. (Positive/Negative pattern is available under the <i>Resource page</i>.) Next time I plan to photocopy patterns onto colored paper to make it even easier for them. We had a discussion on what positive and negative space is.<br />

When children returned the following week to art they were instructed on how to use the white pencil on the black side and the black pencil on the white side to add details. Symmetry was reviewed and expected as part of their project. Black and white paper could also be used for details.<br />

Students loved doing this and many of these wonderful projects will be out on display for the 3rd grade concert next month. The 4th and 5th graders were disappointed they weren't doing them.<br />
<br />
Check out my blog post from the last time I did this lesson: <a href="https://primarilyartwithmrsdepp.blogspot.com/2015/03/art-on-cart.html">Art on a Cart</a>. Definitely art cart friendly! <br />
<br />
Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving break! I've got some new lessons I'll be doing between now and the winter break. Can't wait to share them!<br />

Depending on time you might be able to draw and paint during one session. We used crayons and watercolor paint on 12" squared manila paper. I saved making the spider for last and I changed that out as well. The book called for using salt dough and I decided to use plastic Dananimal containers.<br />
<br />
Here are the steps I took to prepare the bottles.<br />

Using a hole-punch make a hole in the bottom and attach about 10-12" of yarn.<br />
(I did have some of the older students attach the yarn.)<br />
<br />
When students returned to art, I modeled for them how to make the spider. I demonstrate to them that regular markers will rub off of the plastic, so we will be using Sharpies, because they are permanent. (It's so cute because some of the students tell me they are not allowed to use those markers....)<br />

The spider legs are made from pipe cleaners. Two of them will make 8 legs. I show 1st and 2nd grade how to fold the pipe cleaners in half, then place the fold all the way down between the blades of the scissor and to pull on the pipe cleaner as they squeeze the blades of the scissor together. I cut them for kindergarten.<br />

Now they have 4 pipe cleaners, one for each hole in the two sides. After inserting the pipe cleaners, they will fold it in half to create 2 legs, then twist them together, close to the body, and bend them to look like spider legs.<br />

The primary students loved doing these spiders and they were really excited to have donated their Dananimal containers for this project. I do believe the older students were upset not to have made them when they were younger. They don't understand the need we have as art teachers to change it out and perhaps wait a few years to collect what we need for the project.<br />
<br />
Now it you have followed this blog recently, you will have read about my storyboards for the students to see step-by-step directions. I didn't do it with this project and I gotta say it needs to happen. Even if I use photographs for the storyboard. Turns out it just goes so much easier. I did have students that completed their spider to help others. That's always a good thing for the early finishers to do.<br />
<br />
As a Title One school using recycles is so vital to stretch the budget.<br />
<br />
What, if any do you make with recycles??<br />

This is a really good lesson to get students thinking about perspective. And while they don't completely get the concept (tricky concept for elementary students.....) it helps a little.<br />
<br />
Here is my storyboard, something I started at the end of last year. While technology is wonderful, I believe my students benefit from a constant visual to look at.<br />

You can see just how easy each of the steps are. I did have students practice in their sketchbooks before doing it on the large paper with Sharpies. That was a big help.<br />
Students start out with arrows, extend the line to the bottom edge.<br />

They add windows, I did point out using parallel lines to make the windows, some got it and some didn't. Then add the concentric circles.<br />

Decide whether to use the warm colors on the buildings or the sky. Then use the cool colors on the sky or the buildings. Students used crayons, I went over the color wheel with them. Included all 12 colors and we decided red violet would be warm and yellow green would be cool. I had the colors separated and we started out by using only the warm colors until they understood the assignment.<br />

I just did this lesson with my 2nd graders and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. And since it was so close to Halloween when we started the project, students added their own holiday flourish to their art.<br />

I did this kaleidoscope lesson years ago and it didn't go the way I wanted it to. I decided to do it again because it works so well with radial symmetry. I even have a class set of kaleidoscopes for my students to look through.</div>

Only this time I changed it out a bit and stressed certain factors that needed to be in place. I also started the lesson by having the students do a mandala which I blogged about <a href="http://primarilyartwithmrsdepp.blogspot.com/2015/03/manadalas-and-other-special-requests.html">here</a>. </div>

This was done with my 4th grade students on 12" square white drawing paper with markers.<br />
I modeled for my students by tracing a wedge shape on a planning sheet (the wedge was 1/6 of the circle). I explained we would use letters on the wedge, either a name, initials or a word. The top and bottom of the letters need to touch the edges of the wedge. I believe this was part of what made it successful along with the fact that the circle was divided into only 6 equal parts.<br />
