I did these name designs with my grade 7 class during the first week of school. I thought this was a good initial project because it allowed the students to leave their personal mark (their names) but it also creates very lively art. It required imagination on the part of the students in that they had to create a bug or creature that they saw in their names, and it was a great activity to emphasize contrast to make the image stand out. The students did a great job!

I love doing this project with my second and third graders. It's a great way to teach organic shape and symmetry...creativity and imagination are of upmost importance as well! This is also a great project to do at the end of the year when you feel like you're "losing" the kids--they always perk up when I tell them we're making monsters or aliens. Start with a folded sheet of paper. To make sure the pieces come out symmetrical and not in two pieces, I tell them to point the FOLD toward their BODY. They then write their names on the paper (if they have a shorter name with extra space, have them use their last initial too). I then have them draw a contour line around the top of their name. They cut on that contour line. When they open up their "name", they have a unique organic shape that resembles an alien or monster body. I have them draw details in pencil, trace in black sharpie, then color in marker. I have students say they make entire "families" of aliens at home (using Mom's name, Dad's name, their dog's name, their brother's name, etc.) This is also great for a "rainy day" project at home or at school. I know this isn't a new concept or anything, but sometimes it's nice to be reminded of simple lessons that can be pulled out of the "vault" in a pinch for a lesson. It's also a great way to teach symmetry, organic shape, contour line, geometric shape, etc. A win/win if you ask me!

Conveying the “texture of a threshold,” the mixed-media drawings that comprise Tanya P. Johnson’s ongoing Wisdom Engines series invoke passing between wakefulness and sleep or life and death. Mirrored renderings entwine gears, levers, pulleys, and audio equipment with flowers and geometric motifs in elongated columns, referencing the shape of the human spine.

Crafted by the artisan's hand, this table lamp leads with its sculptural ceramic shade. As the name implies, the quietly intriguing Alien finds perfect balance with a machined steel base to add a note of symmetry. With illumination gently bouncing off its underside, the shade rotates up or down and swivels side to side—cleverly providing light exactly where it's needed.

The past few years, I have received numerous emails about how to make the monster Alien head and the 3-d lizard head. Today I took some pictures to show the steps of how to create the head. It is very simple and can be done with 2nd -5th successfully. When making the monster, add eyes, ears, horns, antennae, teeth, tails, legs, spots, the possibilities are endless! This is also the same head for the Easter bunny puppet. There is a link to those lessons below. Monster Alien Lesson 3-d Lizards/ Chameleons You will need a piece of tag board/card stock about 8 1/2 by 11 for the monster a little bit smaller piece for the lizard. Fold in half cut in half and fold the tops down along the side edge Then cut off the bottom and discard. The top pieces should be perfect squares Fold the squares diagonal the other way, so that you see an "X" Cut one side of the "X" and stop in the middle glue those sides together to make two tiny pyramids tape them together evenly on the back And now Go to TOWN turning it into some kind of creative creature!! We have been doing so many things in art and I have just not had time to post lately. If you would like to see more detailed directions, or step by steps of these lessons, please leave a comment. I LOVE hearing your feedback and knowing what you like to see on the blog so I can post more about those things....I haven't heard from you in a while. Fifth graders are working on a grid creating self portraits Some classes are creating free form paper mache sculptures We are painting them tomorrow! WOOHOO! Since the end of the school year is nearing, some grades are finishing up their larger scale projects and doing one day projects for fun. This city project is SUPER fun and simple. I actually get an APPLAUSE when I open the paper to reveal the print!! This works best on regular zerox copy paper. First look at images of city skylines and talk about the shapes of the buildings, the sky and the reflections on the water. Then draw the city starting at the horizon line with trees, a road, and a bridge. Then draw the smallest buildings first so they can overlap the larger ones. They use a yellow crayon for the windows, stars, and fireworks, then color over them with marker to make a crayon resist when printed The you spray water on the WHITE part of the paper and fold to print Some fourth and fifth graders are finishing writing their names using two point perspective. This was a fun and chelenging lesson. I think they learned ALOT and have been using this technique in their free drawings for fun! They made HUGE frames with strips of large black paper and gold paint pens I was inspired by this post by the amazing Aly Marcotte at Artisan Des Arts, go check out her awesome blog!! http://artisandesarts.blogspot.com/2013/03/eye-study-grade-56.html kinder, 1st and 2nd grade made "Planet Power Pugs" For Earth Day! They turned out fabulous! We also did a Draw- A-Long Bull dog last week and each student gets to create a very unique background! If you would like me to post the steps and script to create these bull dogs, let me know and I will. I finally figured out perfect steps for %100 successful bull dog looking bull dogs! They are SO cute and a GREAT confidence builder for shy artists! Some of the first graders told me that their parents did not believe that they had actually drawn it!! So much fun! Many students used our Graffiti letters to write their dog names in the background and the two point perspective lesson to create backgrounds as well! I love seeing them apply what they have learned in open ended projects and free draw!
