This week 3rd grade started their Starry Night cityscapes! This project was inspired by the awesome art teacher, Katie Allain. Her images on Instagram look so fun, and amazing, I had to try one with our students! Give her a follow on IG at @MrsAllainArt Here's how we will be creating ours! Materials: Tru-Ray construction paper (in black, blue, and yellow) Crayola Artista II paint (yellow, orange,white, blue, turquoise) paint cups with lids painted paper scraps Fiskar scissors Big Kid's Choice paintbrushes Day 1: Paint the background! We'll talk about the art of Vincent Van Gogh, his brush strokes, his use of paint, his technique, and his most famous painting Starry Night! The kids used a circle tracer to cut out their moon, and we shaded the edges with a gold oil pastel. Here's some beautiful backgrounds from Mrs. Torres' Class! Mrs. Dimas' class is off to a great start! Day 2: Finish painting the background and work on the cityscape! Use pre-cut black strips that the students can use to created their buildings. They can design the tops of their buildings to create their own unique work of art! Then we used our painted paper scraps to make windows, and line on the road! They don't have to be in rainbow order, I just made mine that way! Stay tuned for some awesome art! Mrs. Campbell's and Mrs. Dimas' class are off to a great start!

Hey, friends! Last week, I shared with you the Pirate Gallery, which was one of the three galleries where my student's work was featured at our school wide art show. Today I'm sharing with you our Glow Gallery, the HIT of our art show. Each student had at least one work of art on display with my kindergarten friends having THREE works of art featured. Whew! Here is one side of the gallery with the lights off and the black lights on. And here it is with the lights on. Still just as beautiful, says me! I thought I'd take you on a tour of this gallery, complete with lights we used, projects each grade level did and supplies that work the best for black light. So, let's go! I LOVE going through art shows, don't you?! So much happiness and color, baby, color! Full disclosure: This is a spare classroom. I had the luxury of having an entire room to dedicate to the gallery. I spent one entire day with the help of a parent covering the window and setting up the displays. The artwork was simply hot glued to the wall. The best way to do that without damaging the artwork or the walls is to add a flat bit of masking tape to each corner of the artwork on the back. Then add a small dot of hot glue to the tape and stick to the wall. When taking the art down, simply give the work a gentle tug and it will pop right off the wall. My kindergarteners created three pieces of art for this gallery. The first were these clay slab fish. You can find this lesson here and in my clay book! They also made these fun snails from cardboard pizza rounds. They started by painting a spiral with a bingo dauber. Then they added color with fluorescent oil pastels and fluorescent paint (details on supplies in a moment). From there, they were attached to a paper towel tube and antennae were added. So cute! More details on this lesson soon, I hope! Some of my third graders made these amazing plaster and paper parrots! I think they are one of my favorite projects from the show. Another lesson which I hope to share with you soon...the kids loved making them! And they were so striking in the black light. But also great with the lights on. Let's talk supplies for a minute because it's important you use the right stuff. * Sargent Brand Fluorescent Oil Pastels * Jack Richeson Fluorescent Tempera Cakes * Fluorescent Liquid Watercolor (optional) * Fluorescent Tempera Paint (optional) The last two we didn't use...we just stuck with the oil pastels and tempera cakes. But I will be getting the other paints for next year. In a pinch, when time was running short, we did use fluorescent poster board and bingo daubers for some of the drawings. We did this because I only had one 30 minute art class with the kids before the big day...so we worked with the time we had. I wanted to insure that every kiddo had a work of art in this special room. On the night of the art show, we did have a couple of teachers at the door to act as Black Light Bouncers as I knew this room would be busy. I didn't want a crowded room to ruin the experience for the kids or have any artwork potentially be damaged. We did have some glow face painting happening which was also fun for the kids. More details on all of the crazy things we had happening at our art show in a future post. Let me walk you thru who made what! By the way, each of these 2D works of art took only an hour (or two 30 minute art classes for me) to complete. Some first graders created the octopus (by following along with here) while some of my first graders drew the crab...a guided drawing lesson of mine. I'll be sure to share that with you too. I have a lot of sharing to do! Some second graders created the GIANT angel fish by following here while others created the octopus on the neon paper due to time limitations. My third graders made the sea turtles and my fourth graders made the sea horses. Now, let's talk lighting because that is the true key. It's the reason I avoided doing a gallery like this for so long because I just didn't have a clue what lighting to get. We ended up purchasing three kinds and I'll tell you, this one was easily my fave. Starting out, one is all you need IF you block out all the light in the room, making it completely black. We left the gallery up for several days because my admin loved it so much, she called in nearly everyone in the district to drop by and see it. Even with the lights on, it was stunning. Have you done a black light gallery before? What tips do you have? This was my first so I'm sure I have A LOT to learn. I would love to hear from you! Super excited to start our black light gallery projects next year...even if it's MAY and I'm on summer break, ha!

- Abstract schilderij van een blauwe hemel met sterren en de maan Schilderij van een abstracte, sterrenhemel in blauw en geel, tegen een beige achtergrond met tekst eronder. Kunstenaar: Van Gogh

I’ve been teaching art for over 15 years and have taught every grade, K-12. In those years I have made resources and handouts helpful for the art room, contained classrooms, or homeschool parents. …

Introducing students to art history – to “masters” who have shaped artistic styles – can be challenging. “The Starry Night,” by Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most recognized artworks in the world. This resource highlights the famous artist and his iconic painting by offering a complete and comprehensive, collaborative project for your students that will engage and inform. You’ll receive everything you need to begin a dialog and create your own “class classic.” The concept is simple – the results are awesome! You will receive: 36 “TILES” The tiles are 7 ½” X 7 ½.” Each tile is labeled with a number (1 – 36) and unique - to represent a specific part of the image. They‘re calibrated to flow seamlessly into one anther to form the completed picture. *Please view ALL THE TILES in “Preview.” Using simple materials such as colored pencils, markers, crayons, paints, pastels - each student works independently on his/her “tile.” Once completed, the 36 tiles are joined together to form the whole. Simply trim away the excess paper and tape the squares together on the back. Easier still, tape them in place directly on the wall. The finished artwork will be an impressive (app.) 45” x 45.” PICTURE A black and white drawing of “The Starry Night.” This page is useful as a reference, an optional part of your display, or simply as a coloring page. KEY The overall picture divided in the 36 tiles. (grid) This page is especially helpful for students to initially see where their tile fits into the “big picture.” THE ARTISTS THE ARTISTS refers to your students. This page provides you with an empty grid. Write the students’ names - or have them sign in the corresponding box, to showcase where their work is located on the collaboration. *ALL PAGES CAN BE ENLARGED without loss of quality. PROJECT PAGE This page is for you and provides not only information about the artist and the painting but also includes helpful tips to pull off a successful process, project and display. *Please note that my intention in developing the “masterpiece line” is to provide a framework for your students to create a UNIQUE masterpiece by using color and pattern not necessarily associated with the original artwork. If you wish to recreate the original you may want to source a color reproduction to complement your lesson as one is not included. Classroom Teachers It’s no secret that integrating art into your subject matter can be highly effective – that collaboration facilitates cooperation, teamwork and acceptance. Your kids will love the ease of the process, the opportunity to create their own page and finally the “wow” moment of contributing to the cool, collaborative artwork. Consider creating a “class classic” for open house, conference night or even as an auction item. Art Teachers This is a no-fuss, highly engaging, full-proof project for a wide range of grade levels. Customize your directives to reinforce your curriculum in art history, art periods, styles, painting, color, line, movement, design, texture, pattern, perspective – and more. You’ll find the versatility of the product surpassed only by the “fun factor.” Consider the impact these artworks would have lining the walls outside your classroom, in the cafeteria, front office or at an annual school-wide art exhibit. This unique, collaborative project is that “something special” you've been looking for. Thanks and have fun!
