The magic of science makes these recycled plastic flowers beautiful. It's a great STEM / STEAM project for kids.
4th graders just finished a lesson about totem poles. Students learned about the significance of totem poles and that they were (and still are) made by native tribes who lived in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The big word for this project was stylize. We learned that some artists stylize their work by changing shapes, colors, etc. in order to give their work their own personal touch. Each student created one stylized animal in the style of a real totem pole. (There are some great resources on totem pole parts online here. Unfortunately, I didn't find this until we were almost done with the project!) In the past, I had kids paint the finished product, but I decided to try collage this year after seeing an example from another blog last year. I really like how clean the collage is. More importantly, the students were more successful using collage. My lesson plan can be found here. My keynote for this lesson is here. A PDF version of my keynote can be downloaded here. Feel free to use or modify for your own room!

London-based artist Zack Mclaughlin constructs uncannily realistic birds made from wood and cut paper leaves. A lifelong fascination with the natural world lead Mclaughlin to explore different kinds of 3d model making, first starting with wire and then moving into the more realistic sculptures you see here. You can see more of his recent work on DeviantArt and in his shop. (via Lustik) More

Cet article vient compléter les différents billets déjà réalisés (et que vous trouverez listés en ouvrant l'onglet ECOLE divers partie 12). Par ailleurs les divers supports de travail sont téléchargeables ICI. 1/ Découpage et graphisme avec les MS/GS Séance 1/ J'explique en regroupement le découpage des formes et leur positionnement pour réaliser la tête. Et l'utilisation de la perforatrice (je perfore/je colle/ je perfore/ je colle) pour le cadre. Les élèves découpent, positionnent les formes et les collent sur une grande feuille bicolore. Puis perforatrice. Séance 2/ Au tableau en regroupement les MS apprennent à faire l'étoile. Puis toujours au tableau, je montre le graphisme du chapeau. Chacun va à sa feuille et ensemble graphisme du chapeau ( je fais au tableau, ils font sur leur chapeau) Rond pour les MS et spirale pour les GS. Etoiles au marqueur. Gommettes rondes pompons. 2/ Découpage et collage PS: la guirlande de cirque En regroupement: présentation du travail et explications. J'ajoute que si on y pense, on peut alterner les couleurs ( et je montre comment). 1/Découper. Si besoin mon atsem fait le petit bonhomme sur l'ongle de l'enfant pour que le pouce regarde toujours vers l'enfant. 2/Disposer et ajuster aux lignes tracées. Si on y pense tout seul, alterner les couleurs. 3/ Coller. Le travail est fait dans le cahier où ont été tracées 3 lignes au marqueur. 3/ Le chapiteau des MS/GS Cinq étapes en 2 ou 3 séances selon le temps imparti pour chacune. 1/dessin dirigé à l'ardoise: je fais au tableau, ils font à l'ardoise. 2/sur feuille A3. Dessin à la craie grasse noire. Gabarit pour le corps du chapiteau: une feuille coupée dont ils font le tour ( sinon les dimensions dont aléatoires). 3/coloration à l'encre. 4/étoiles et fleurs à la perforatrice. 5/étoiles au marqueur. 4/ Le chapiteau des PS Deux séances.1/ Traits verticaux à la craie grasse noire sur une 1/2 feuille à dessin. Encre. Deux couleurs d'encre sur feuille Canson A3. 2/ J'ai découpé une bande pour les troncs dans la réalisation de la première séance. Collage du chapiteau et son toit. Collage des troncs. Feuillage à la craie grasse noire. Collage d'étoiles. Paillettes rouges mélangées à de la colle passées au pinceau dans le feuillage. 5/ Pâte à modeler MS/GS 6/ Divers supports de travail 7/ Parties du corps et articulations En parallèle avec l'échauffement en motricité et différents jeux nécessitant la localisation des parties du corps. 8/ Le jeu J’ai constaté que mes élèves ne savaient pas se déplacer sur un plateau de jeu (avancer le pion selon le nombre indiqué par le dé). J’ai donc créé un jeu très simple pour amorcer cet apprentissage. La partie est suffisamment rapide pour préserver le temps de concentration nécessaire. Ce jeu est composé d’un plateau et de cartes « étoile » de 4 couleurs différentes afin que chaque joueur ait son propre tas à proximité. Préparation : - PLATEAU à reproduire en l’agrandissant en format A3, plastifier. - CARTES « ETOILE » : impression, découpage, collage recto à compter/verso étoile, plastification. CASES : - Les cases » étoile » : on tire une carte étoile de sa couleur. On compte les éléments. Puis on place la carte en dessous du tas. - Les cases « compte » : on compte jusqu’au nombre indiqué : 4, 7, 8, 10 - Les cases « avance » : avancer de 2 cases. - Les cases « recule » : reculer de 2 ou 3 cases. J’ai créé ce jeu en priorité pour mes MS. J’ai plastifié 2 plateaux et 2 séries de cartes (en collant une gommette dans l’étoile de la deuxième série pour les distinguer). Phase d’apprentissage : avec 4 élèves. Le principe est vite compris. Ensuite, on peut jouer avec 5,6.. élèves, avec 2 plateaux sur la table. Plateau et cartes du jeu L'année prochaine, je l'adapterai probablement à une autre thématique. 9/Découpage et collage PS (ou MS): Découper de petits carrés puis les coller en alternant les couleurs. 10/
One of the first posts I pinned to my "Painting Inspirations, Tutorials, and Projects" Pinterest board was an abstract watercolor tutorial from Grow Creative. I have been wanting to try Elise's technique for months, and now that I've done it, I don't think I can stop! The results are absolutely beautiful, and their map-like-qualities appeal greatly to the arty cartophile in me! (I am borrowing the term "arty cartophile" from Jill K. Berry and her book Personal Geographies, which I was inspired to pull off the bookshelf after creating these rubber cement resist watercolor paintings.) I followed Elise's technique pretty much exactly, so you can read her blog post for her directions, but I also took photos of each step of the process as I carried it out, so I thought I would share them with you here: First, I used blue painter's tape to secure my 9x12 cold-press watercolor paper to a piece of palette paper on my work space. (I tried low-tack artist's tape first, and too much watercolor paint seeped underneath it. The blue painter's tape left a gorgeous crisp edge.) Next, I dribbled rubber cement over the watercolor paper. There is no planning, just random dripping in all different directions. Then, I spent a little time with my embossing tool, speeding up the drying process for the rubber cement. This is not a task for the impatient! I get into a kind of trance, watching the rubber cement boil, bubble, pop, and dry. Once the rubber cement is dry, the paper is ready for its first application of watercolor paint. For this particular piece, I used Reeves tube watercolors in "Lemon Yellow." In some of my first pieces, I did a watercolor wash across the entire paper. For the example photographed here, I applied this first layer of watercolor in just some portions of the paper, leaving other parts white. The drying process for the watercolor paint is much faster than for the rubber cement! Now technically, you are supposed to apply more rubber cement, but I actually forgot, and put on a different color of watercolor. This time is was Reeves tube paint in basic "orange." I supplemented with another shade of orange from a set of pan watercolors. I used the orange paint to fill in some of those white spaces I left when I applied the Lemon Yellow. After a bit more drying with the heating tool, I applied more random rubber cement. More drying--which meant more time mesmerized by bubbling rubber cement. At this point it was time for my final color--Reeves tube watercolor in "Magenta." Gorgeous! After one final drying session with the embossing tool, I was ready to pull back the painter's tape and enjoy the crisp edge along the perimeter of my watercolor paper. The next step is to use the pads of my fingers to rub away all of the rubber cement that has been resisting various layers of watercolor paint. The rubber cement comes away in balls and crumbs, and leaves behind the wonderful pathways that give the art such a map-like quality. When all the rubber cement has been rubbed away...voila! Now, I think this piece looks beautiful, and am tempted to leave it as it is, but there is a final step that makes it look even more beautiful. Using a fine-tipped black Sharpie pen, I outline various pathways around the piece. (I tried Microns, but the "tooth" of the watercolor paper really does them in.) I start with all of the white pathways, and usually move on to the secondary colors, like yellow in this piece. When I was finished deciding which areas to outline in black, I had my finished piece: I think I could sit around and look at it all day! I really love the results of this technique. What do you think? This was my fourth 9x12 art piece using the rubber cement resist technique. Here are the earlier ones I created: These first two have a similar color combination, with more "lake blue" in the first one. I like how they look when I photograph them without the white perimeter: I'm showing these in backwards order, because this last one I am showing you is the first one I tried. Instead of using rubber cement, I used Art Maskoid, which is the same as frisket. But my bottle was almost completely dried up so I was kind of smearing sticky frisket across the page. At first, I thought the result looked kind of terrible, but it has grown on me, and looks like a map of some archipelago far out in the ocean. (You can also see how the artist's tape didn't give as clean of an edge as the painter's tape does.) Stay tuned, because in an upcoming post I will share some pretty cards I have made using this same rubber cement resist technique!

These first grade cupcakes were inspired by the American painter Wayne Thiebaud (pronounced TEE-bow). He creates paintings of fun things from everyday life, such as cakes, pies, ice cream, hot dogs and gumball machines. Students learned that his art can be labeled realism because it looks real. After learning about Wayne Thiebaud, students created their own yummy artwork of a cupcake. Students cut, glued, ripped and painted paper while creating these masterpieces! First graders also had to show an understanding what a pattern is while they decorated the bottom of their cupcakes. Way to go young artists! These scrumptious cupcakes are beautifully decorated just as if seen in an upscale bakery shop!

If you've been paying attention - I'm pretty sure this is the last of the handout, worksheet, sub lessons I recently found in my files. The "Insects in Line" handout from Ande Cook, sort of goes hand-in-hand with the "Expressive Line" handout from yesterday. Using a similar concept, the handout asks students design insects and really use exciting lines to add detail. I have written up a very short sub lesson that goes with it as well. Enjoy! And Happy Valentine's Day! Here is Ande Cook's book Art Starters that a lot of these worksheets from SchoolArts are from.
