STRETCHED CANVAS Urban Road's stretched canvas fine art prints are professionally printed on polycotton artist canvas, using archival inks and then stretched and gallery wrapped. This means the image is stretched around a 38mm frame to create a seamless, museum-quality finish. All stretched and box framed art prints arrive ready to hang. SHADOW BOX FRAMES We also offer the option to add a shadow box frame to your Urban Road canvas art print. A little different from a traditional framed print, the canvas sits within the box frame with a 5mm gap, creating a sophisticated shadow effect between the frame and the canvas. Our solid timber box frame mouldings are 10mm wide, and 55mm deep, and add approximately 40mm to the length and height of the listed canvas size. ROLLED CANVAS ART At Urban Road, we also offer you the option to purchase your canvas art print unframed to allow you to have it framed your own way. As with our stretched and box framed canvas products, our rolled canvas prints are professionally printed on durable, museum-quality, matte coated polycotton canvas and made to order. Our rolled canvas products are printed to the listed stretched size, and come with an additional 45mm mirrored edge plus another 60mm white border to allow for gallery wrapping.

Are you an aster or a marigold?
Have you noticed that students love to experiment with writing in all different directions (nonlinear text)? Our eyes are attracted to text that 'moves.' For Fingerprint Poetry, your student gets to create a poem or free flow text about the one thing they know they most about - themselves! Fingerprints, like students, are all unique. So what makes YOU unique? Here is your chance to share it with the world! Included: * Description of Fingerprint Poetry * 16 writing ideas + 5 ways to get really creative * 3 'dark lines' fingerprint templates * 3 'light lines' fingerprint templates This is a great creative writing assignment for back-to-school, self-discovery, reflection, or even the end of the year. It could also be used as a formative assessment - ask students to write from the perspective of a character or important figure. Students will choose between the arch, whorl, or loop fingerprint template. There are 2 sets of these fingerprint worksheets - one with light writing that the students could write on, and one with heavy writing that can be used for tracing or as a guide underneath the paper. Several of my students (grade 8) also chose not to use a worksheet/template, and just did their own thing. That's the whole point of this assignment anyway! The worksheet explains the point/purpose of fingerprint poetry, and gives 16+ ideas for writing. You WON'T have any students saying, "But I don't know what to write about!" There are also 5 ideas for making the poetry more creative and visual, such as varying font, including pictures, etc. Please download and enjoy! Looking for more creative writing fun?

This week they are finally stripping and waxing the floors in my high school art room so I've spent a lot of time at home working on school stuff. I started making my to-do list for the room and the first thing I'm checking off my list has to do with critiques. A while back on Pinterest, I found this link for ping pong ball critiques and I LOVE the idea! My husband bought me a box of 36 ping pong balls and I spent the night writing critique prompts on each ball! Some of the questions came directly off of the free PDF download above, others came from my head and some came from other random pins. Here's what the balls have written on them: If I were the artist, I would have... Are there any symbols in this artwork? Give an example. What would you title this artwork? Why? Does this artwork make you think of something else? What? What style is this artwork completed in? What kind of composition does this artwork have? Would you hang/display this artwork in your home? What culture and/or country do you think this artwork comes from? Why? Can you trace movement with finger? Where? In my opinion... Do you see any repetition? Where? What art principles do you see? Where? What elements of art do you see? Where? Where did the artist use contrast? What art medium/media is this artwork created with? How do you know? Does this artwork have a color scheme? What is it? Do you think this artwork belongs in a museum or art gallery? Why or why not? Did the artist create space? How? Where is the emphasis/focal point? How is it created? Is this artwork realistic or abstract? Explain. What is the subject matter of this artwork? The weaknesses of this artwork are... The strengths of this artwork are... If I could ask the artist one question, I would ask... Is there rhythm in this artwork? Where? Are there patterns in this artwork? Where? Does this artwork have depth? Explain. What do you think the artist wants you to see. Do you think the artist was more concerned with emotion or realism? Why? Do you like this artwork? Why or why not? What creates unity in this artwork? Where do you see texture? Does this artwork tell a story? What is it? Is the balance symmetrical, asymmetrical or radial? Explain. What emotion or feeling did the artist create? How was line used in this artwork? I plan to use the ping pong ball critique during class for group critiques (of personal and famous artwork), as well as for an exit slip. I saw this pin on Pinterest and I decided to make a post-it note exit slip poster. I have made one for both Studios, both 7th grade art classes and electives, all of which will be laminated. There will be times I will give students a specific question for an exit slip and other times we may use the ping pong ball critique questions. Students will get a post-it note to write their answer on. They'll use the same post-it note until it's filled up and then they'll get a new one. Each student will be assigned a number for the year so they don't have to put names on their slips. This will help ensure that I am getting students to review content before leaving class (that was something my superintendent noted on my evaluation as something I needed to work on) as well as having a closure of some sort. Since I made a poster for each class, I won't have to look at their answers until after school during our 2:45-3:15 teacher time, thus making sure I have my 3 minutes in between classes to get between the classrooms. The ping pong ball critique questions will also be great to use as a bell ringer too. I think I want to plan on having students use their sketchbooks as a place to write bell ringers, notes, project sketches and homework sketches. I envision having a famous artwork on the board when students come in, ask them to grab a ball and answer the question in their sketchbook. As students get settled, I'll ask for some volunteers to share their responses. I feel this would be less of a waste of paper to have students do bell ringers in their sketchbooks instead of on copied slips of paper. Plus, it will ensure that sketchbooks are brought to class every day and not wasted. Since all of my SLO's will be coming from high school art classes this upcoming year, my gears are drastically switching. I am going to be more concerned with getting classroom management routines down in a way that works (such as the bell ringer and exit slip...something I haven't used before). I would eventually like to work a bell ringer/exit slip into the elementary art room, but I don't want to stretch my time too much now that I only get those kiddos once a cycle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a side note, I just figured I'd share some artwork I did today...for the first time in forever! Very rarely do I sit down and do artwork for myself. Two years ago I did similar up-close flower paintings for Christmas gifts for my family (we were on a tight budget that year ;) ). I usually have to be in the right kind of mood to do any artwork, or even scrap booking for that matter. Any time I'm creating something, it's usually a project example for school or posters/displays for my classrooms. Acrylic on canvas...my preferred choice of painting medium! It's actually kind of ironic because in college, I did not take a painting class. I did sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, drawing, photography, digital design and the mandatory art design class. I was never able to fit the painting class in my schedule (and to be honest, I was not very fond of the professor who taught it), so I've never been trained in oil painting, or painting for that matter. Painting with acrylic was something I picked up and enjoyed in high school. In this instance, my husband has been given a promotion to which he now has his own office. He is a kitchen manager for Thatcher Kitchen at SUNY Potsdam. Now that he has moved into his office, he's been begging me to come decorate! I surprised him today with these paintings for his office. Tomorrow I'll go pick out paint for him to paint his office with and decide where he needs to hang his artwork!

Are ya'll familiar with the Japanese holiday called Children's Day? I think sometimes my students are convinced that everyday is Children's Day which is why nearly every night is Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day for this art teacher. But I digress. The real Children's Day is celebrated in Japan on the 5th day of May which, in case you didn't know, is the 5th month. It's a day set aside to respect children's personalities and to celebrate their happiness. Which, seriously, that part should be everyday in an art room, don't you think? On this day, all children fly a carp kite called a koinobori on a flag pole, along with the koinobori of those in their family. The father's koinobori is usually at the top, followed by the mother with the children's kites, from oldest to youngest, flown below. I had big visions of flying the kids' koinobori outside of our school for the occasion and for our upcoming art show (which is in 10 days, people! Not that I'm freaking out at all). However, we had some pretty Big, Bad and Ugly weather at the start of last week that lead me to believe that keeping these lovelies inside would be a better bet. The last time I hung something in these windows, it was a pretty big hit so I thought I'd do it again with our koinobori. Along with a sign, of course. Otherwise everyone just thought they were super cool fish kites. Which they are but there's also a super cool story behind them as well. So just how did my friends in First Grade Land create these awesome koinobori? Dude, it was so super easy and, like, the World's Fastest Art Project (which for me is a total rarity). Here's a list of the supplies we used: Roylco's Japanese Carp Wind Sock Kit For about $8, you can get your kitten mittens on a set of 24 die-cut fish with tag board strips that get glued into the mouths (if you look at the orange fish above, you'll see the tag board propping open the mouth.) Sharpies. This is optional. I had the kids use these to add details that they wanted to remain permanent. Watercolor Paint. Boy, talk about an End-of-the-School-Year-We-Are-Almost-Outta-Supplies Limited Palette, ya'll. But, we're artists, kids! We can make do! Or something like that. A Spray Bottle Full of Water. Yarn. Hole Punch. How the lesson went down: My kids have been learning about Asia, with an emphasis on Japan, all year. In fact, we'd just finished off this sushi lesson not long ago and had just completed making a ceramic koi fish. I needed a short and quick tie-in lesson while our clay projects dried and fired. These koinobori were just the perfect thing. After chatting about Children's Day, the kids were given a tray of warm and cold colored Sharpie markers. We chatted about the parts of a fish (fins, gills, scales, tail, etc.) and how we might emphasize those with either warm or cool colored Sharpies. That took up our first 30 minute session. For the next 30 minute session, we reviewed correct use of water color paint (which obviously doesn't include cleaning the tray, ew!). I also told the kids that they were again to use warm or cool colors but that they didn't have to stick with the same color family as they used last art class. Once the kids had collected their supplies (a paint brush and two ziplock bags -- the two things I forgot to mention in that above supply list, doh!), they were to raise their hand and I came over and squirted their fish with water. Because the paper is made from the same stuff as coffee filters, a wee spritz of water really helps the water color paint to spread out. The kids thought that was pretty rad. Once the kids had painted their entire fish, they were given the option of splatter painting. I don't think a single kid opted out of that one. To dry, the kids gingerly carried their zip locked fish to the floor. The reason I kept the bags on the bottom was that I found that the color will often run off the paper and on to the surface that it is sitting on. However, if the paper is allowed to "sit in it's own juices" so to speak, it dries much more vibrant. Now, normally, I woulda had the kids add the tag board and attempt to tie the string. But I was in a bit of a time crunch. So I set aside about 15 minutes every afternoon to hot glue the tag board at the top, hot glue it into a tube, hole punch the top and add the yarn. By the end of the week, I had all of my classes finished. To hang, I bent a paper clip so that it looked like some sort of scary prison shank and stuck it into the foamy ceiling tie. I added the top fish to that paper clip. Then I hole punched the bottom of that fish and added a bent paper clip to that hole where I attached the second fish. If I'm not making any sense it's because I'm deep into that aforementioned Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day and I simply cannot be held accountable for my incoherentness. I managed to get 'em all up and ready for Monday, May 5th on Friday. I can't wait for the kids (and the grown kids) to see them and celebrate all things children -- especially during our standardized testing week! Until next time, enjoy Children's Day! Or Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day. Your choice.
