We have been Van Gogh-ing crazy here in the Art Studio! Each grade finished a project based on a painting by Vincent Van Gogh. Kindergarten, second, and fourth grade worked on Van Gogh's Sunflowers. Kindergarten created their first painting, and they did so wonderfully! We began by tracing a cup to create the center of the sunflowers. The students then had to create the petals and the petals had to be bigger than the tip of their finger. When the flowers were drawn the students added leaves and then traced over the pencil with Sharpie. When the Sharpie was finished the students used Magic Rub Erasers to get rid of their pencil lines. The students then used Q-tips to fill in the painting. They began by filling the background with Turquoise liquid watercolors. The next class (our classes are less than 35 minutes) the students used yellow liquid tempera (I prefer Crayola Premier because it still washes out easily but it's less translucent) and a tiny bit of metallic gold liquid tempera (I am using Sargent Art this year). They dotted the liquid tempera in the petals filling the space without creating blobs. The students also used liquid watercolors to fill the leaves with green and the centers with brown. They then used blue liquid watercolor to layer color in the background as well as layering yellow in the leaves and black in the centers. These layers of liquid watercolor dots made it much, much more visually appealing. When everything was finished the paintings turned out absolutely beautiful and I could not be more proud of their first completed pieces! First grade created ornaments inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night. They were inspired by some beautiful beads that I saw on Pinterest. The students helped roll out the clay and then used a cookie cutter to cut out the shape. After the shape was cut out we added their name, class code, and the year to the back of the ornament. The students then created the hole for the string using a straw (perfect size!) before adding the texture. To create the texture my little artists used the "foot" of the brush to spread dots out and then used concentric circles to fill the entire space. We then let the stars dry before adding our Stroke n' Coat glaze. To add the glaze the students rotated stations to get the correct color. I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY with their ability to put the colors in the correct order no matter what table they started at. And of course, when they came out of the kiln my mini Van Gogh's were so excited to see the transformation! First grade also created Starry Night mixed media paintings using watercolor, construction paper, oil pastels, and glitter glue. Second grade created one of my favorite projects of all time! They painted different pieces of paper using blended tempera paint and texture scraping tools. The students then drew the shapes on the back of the painted paper, numbered the shapes, and then cut them out and glued them together. The results were absolutely gorgeous! Third grade created their best project since I arrived and I am so very proud of them! They created mixed media paintings inspired by Patty Palmer's Deep Space Sparkle lesson plan--with some adjustments of my own. They truly stepped up to the challenge of the small brush strokes and dotted lines. They began with black construction paper that they glued glitter paper stars and a moon to. Then the students used liquid tempera to fill the sky with wind and light. They then used liquid tempera to create hills and a valley. Then they added cut paper for the tree and houses. The students had to mix the tints of paint for themselves and blend the colors without wasting paint. Third grade did a tremendous job and the paintings are truly beautiful. Fourth grade created their first clay project by slump molding a sunflower bowl. They then added the seeds and painted on the glaze using Stroke n' Coat glaze. The students painted black around the edges of the seeds and brown on the inside. They then used yellow and orange glaze to blend colors for the petals. Fifth grade worked on their first gridding project to create their own version of Starry Night. They drew each square in pencil and then went over the pencil in Ultra Fine Sharpie before adding the liquid watercolor brush strokes. To view the complete lesson visit my previous post http://pleasantridgeelementaryartstudio.blogspot.com/2014/09/starry-starry-night.html This unit is one of the most completely satisfying I have ever embarked upon. Every grade knocked their project out of the park and I could not be more proud!

One of my favorite artists is Louise Nevelson, so I decided to try a lesson using recycled materials to create Nevelson inspired assemblages. We talked about the artist's use of discarded materials and giving them a new life. Our pieces started with a 12x12 inch piece of corrugated cardboard as a base. We then took paper egg cartons, cardboard paper tubes, popsicle sticks, and extra pieces of corrugated cardboard to create our forms. I suggested repetition of elements, variation of texture, and utilizing as much of the space as possible. We generously glued our pieces onto the supporting structure. When dry, each student chose a single acrylic color to paint their pieces, trying to cover all of the viewable areas. Although the materials used for construction were practically free, these did require a lot of paint to get good coverage. So worth it though!
