I was very much inspired by a post I saw a long time ago from An Art Room Filled with Fauves for this project. I loved how simple and how many times students got to practice their figure drawing. Here is how I approached the lesson. We started by studying our mini figure models and moving our body. I'm always inspired by Rina from K-6 Art for activities like this. She get's her kids moving all the time. This group loved trying to challenge their pose. There were several parts that the students had to make to complete this project. First the tracer. We used a heavier tagboard to draw a figure using shapes. We had already practiced a lot so the kids had it down. The tough part of this project was the cutting of this tracer. I would say that 90% of the students were very successful. There were some tape repairs and I did a 'teacher check' (and in some cases teacher help) on some of them because this was the base of the rest of this project. The second part of this project I had them draw a horizon line and place their figure on it. They had to color this figure in using black crayon. I would have also had them darken in the horizon line if I was to do this one again. Then, they drew the outline on a white sheet of paper and filled int he details. They outlined and colored with crayon again. This was something to remind the students when they were doing the two final steps. Be sure to have the figure and shadow facing the same way. As the students cut and glued the projects on, we talked about placement of the figure to the shadow. You want to make sure that the figure is close and overlapping the shadow a bit. You also want to make sure that your figure is on or below the horizon line. And again, make sure that your figure and your shadow are going the same direction. I love the simplicity of these cute projects. There were small ways that students were able to show their creativity such as the image below. I have a second post to come on an experiment with this project that allowed for more creativity. Below is about as 'out of the box' students were able to go with this project.

Not an original idea, but a great one. Lots of lovely bloggers, including Wendy at The Vintage Pattern Files, post free knitting and sewing patterns. They are usually posted on a Friday, so who am I to argue? Here's my first free pattern for you: This was one of the first successful vintage jumpers I completed, back in 2004 (10 years ago already). I was seriously pleased with it. I didn't know much about tension then, and don't even think I tested it. The yarn I used was from The Handweavers Studio when it was still near me in Walthamstow. A soft merino, it came on little cones. The pattern called for a 2 ply - I still don't know the exact weight of the yarn. It came out very well, except it was far too short. I ended up having to pick up along the hem and adding some more ribbing. This is something I am aware of now - my long torso, and measuring the length before I start the armhole shaping. I think most knitters have to add length to vintage jumpers now - we're taller, and broader. You just have to look at the models in patterns from the 30s, and they were slight - narrow shoulders, small busts, slender hips, like this lady: I love that pose, and her regal face. The column is pretty awesome too. I modified the jumper, using the yoke of this pattern: I liked the effect so much, I knitted one in red. This time I added extra pattern repeats, giving a slightly more relaxed fit. I used Misti Alpaca lace. Here is another pic of me wearing it in a more 50s beatnik style with my Shellac Sisters, at a gig we did in South London somewhere. So that's my first free pattern, but not the last. I hope you like it.

So here are the mostly finished works that I posted about a week or so ago. Over all I am happy with them, but part of me wonders if I should have let the students switch over to tempera paint for the second day details. Over all successful lesson....and I know when I teach it again...I'll tweak a few things next time to hopefully allow for more individuality.
Okay- so this have got to be my FAVORITE new project of the year. I saw someone post a picture on Pinterest from Artsonia where a CD was a rose window and then the Cathedral was drawn behind it. I was like "DUH!!!! What a PERFECT project for using CD's! How have I not thought of this? GENIUS!" I have been waiting for what feels like months for clay to be over and such to try out this idea. I finally had the perfect moment to start this with a group of 5th graders! I first spent about 45 minutes of planning the lesson trying to find an interesting/short/information video on Rose Windows to show my students.... man was that a task. I could find short boring videos, or interesting documentaries - but nothing that fit my whole criteria... well, that is until I found this: Okay - so it isn't exactly perfect and I managed to talk over the part where the guy says "bloody hell" and then I skip the part about the commission for a new rose window. (I am okay with mentioning religion when it comes in context of art/architecture - but I didn't feel it was necessary to bring in the modern religious icons.) The thing I love about the video, other than the accents, is that it shows rose windows, a brief history, and even a few ruins. So, after the video (or before if I remember) I give a little history - set the scene for these mammoth buildings. I try to explain to the kids that these are not 'just stained glass windows' but that these are THE WINDOWS. It is hard to really explain a life to kids where there is no real visual stimulation - there were no billboards, signs, advertisements, ipads, tvs, photographs and such during the time when these were built. People were not use to seeing images at all let alone on such a GRAND scale. I then show some stills of these cathedrals and point out how little the people are, or the chairs on the inside. It is hard to describe how LARGE these structures are without a point of reference. After I get done talking at them (which I try not to do - but sometimes it is necessary), we discuss what they notice about the rose windows while looking at some still photographs. -- Round, symmetrical, colors, patterns go around the center.... etc. I then explain to them that they are going to create their own Rose Window. They can either: A) Start right away - but there is NO erasing sharpie so they will have to problem solve their mistakes. B) Get a scrap sheet of paper and practice a few designs. I hand out CD's and Sharpies and let them go. The next time they come we look at a slide show of Gothic Cathedrals - complete with Rose Windows. After a few photos I put up the picture shown below with 6 Cathedrals side by side. I ask the students to look at them. Compare, contrast the different buildings. What do they have in common, how are they different? They discuss these things at their table, we share a few as a class -- 3 door sections, LOTS of arches, steeples (though not always symmetrical), rose window in the middle, 3 layers (doors, middle, steeple), recessed doors. Next, I pass out 'stone' colored construction paper with a handout containing pictures of the Cathedrals we just looked at. Students use these pictures to help them make their own Gothic structure. They draw with pencil, trace with Sharpie. Then, the last we do is some shading to give the Gothic structures some pizazz. I explain about the sun making shadows and how that helps us understand depth and shape. We discuss that depending on where our light source, the sun, is will determine where our shadows go. I show them how to take a black colored pencil and draw a shadow on the left or right side every line on their paper (excluding where their building and sky meet). (Some struggle with this idea more than others - but its all good). At this point if students want to be done - okay. If they want to go above and beyond I have them go in with a white oil pastel and do the same on the opposite side of each line and color the sky in with a sky color. These are spectacular to look at! I love how each one looks completely different. Amazing!
