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!

Reduction Printmaking: In relief printing, a reduction print is a multicolor print in which the separate colors are printed from the same block. Usually, the lightest color is printed first and then the block is "reduced" by carving away certain areas to prepare the plate for the next color. The disadvantage of reduction printmaking is that once the print is complete, the process cannot be duplicated. The linocut is a printmaking technique similar to that of the woodcut, the difference bei

I have to share this rockin' activity inspired by an awesome math teacher and blogger, To The Square Inch. In fourth grade, we learn about tenths and hundredths. It's a hard one for kids to get! Once we understand these place values, we turn them into fractions and put tenths on numberlines.... It's a lot. For students AND teacher.... Anyway, I saw this activity a few years ago on Pinterest and tweeked it for my kiddos since it originally had the students working with percents and fractions. It's now our "Hundredths Design Square". First, the students color a square hundredths model using four different colors. Then they count the colored squares and record each color as a decimal. After that, they turn it into a fraction. The kids LOVE IT! And it sure is fun! Check out these awesome designs!

These sidewalk chalk ideas are so awesome! Seriously, some people so creative!? There are so many fun ideas and so many great photo opportunities! I wish we had an asphalt driveway so we could try more of these out at home! Do you get a mental block when you have a blank canvas in front of you? And your kids are saying, 'Draw something! Draw something!' - I usually end up drawing a flower, or sometimes a rainbow, but then I'm stumped. I feel the same way with a giant blank driveway and sidewalk chalk, except it's so much worse! What

Earlier this year, my co-worker Jayne found the idea to make a collaborative school-wide paper mural based on the artwork of Thank YouX. The idea for a student mural originally came from Jenell Novello and you can see the lesson plan write-up on Artsonia. She also so generously provided the lesson plan and templates on Google docs. Thank You X got his name by accident. In 2009 Andy Warhol’s spray painted portrait was spotted on a city street in L.A.. … Read more... →
Our collaborative macaw project is almost finished! Yesterday was the last day of school, so I will be finishing the belly on my own. The students were so eager to see it finished, but I let them know that it will be hanging up all next year when I turn my room into a rainforest. Here is a close-up of the papers, the students cut "football shapes" or "teardrop shapes" for the feathers and then I called them up a few at a time for placement. While the students were working, they were also creating their own recycled macaw. Here are some examples from Kindergarten and first grade. This was a wonderful end of year project, it only involved the scrap paper buckets and glue sticks or glue bottles. Best yet, they loved creating their own macaw to take home with them!
