Read about these engaging activities to celebrate Pi Day!
"International Dot Day", a global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration, began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot on September 15, 2009. "The Dot" is the story of a teacher who challenges a doubting student to trust in her abilities to “make her mark”. What begins with a dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe. To celebrate, each grade level has created a project that is "dot-like." Once projects are completed, they will be displayed in the halls of our school! Some projects took at least 3 class periods to complete, but by the end of September, our school will be filled with dots galore! This is just the start of the many dots to display! Kindergarten Dot Paintings Inspired by the artist George Seurat Materials -white paper (any size you wish to cut) -paint dots (can be found in Nasco, Triarco, or Michael's Arts & Crafts in a hurry) After showing the painting "Sunday Afternoon" by George Seurat to kindergarten students, I shared how pictures can be made just by using dots. Using "paint dots," students filled their paper with colorful spots! Total time: 1-40 minute class period 1st Grade Mandala Paintings (Thank you, Cassie Stephens, for your project idea!) Materials -small paper plates -black permanent marker -neon tempura cakes -paintbrushes -water cups -table clothes After sharing mandala designs with 1st grade students, we created our own mandala-like designs within a plate and painted with bright colors! Total project time: 1-40 minute class period 2nd Grade Abstract Drawings Inspired by the art of Wassily Kandinsky Materials -pencils -white paper (cut to square) -black markers -colored markers -scissors -glue -a round container for center circle Students were introduced to the art of Wassily Kandinsky. Wassily used many geometric shapes and creative lines to fill his artwork. 2nd graders were asked to do the same, all while listening to music to inspire movement in their drawings! Total project time: 2-40 minute class periods 3rd Grade Mandala Drawings Inspired by sand-made mandalas Materials -white paper -pencils -a round container to trace circles -black markers -colored markers -scissors -glue -square colored paper for frame Students were introduced to sand mandalas. As nice as it would have been to actually make one with sand, we stuck with drawing our designs and adding bright colors instead. Total project time: 2-40 minute class periods 4th Grade Metal Relief Dots (Cassie, I thank you for this idea too! I had to try it!) Yes, you can use coins as examples! Materials -cardboard or poster board circles -foam shapes (when I order them now, they are stickers) -aluminum foil -spray glue -permanent color markers Students were shown examples of metal relief, like coins and jewelry. Relief is when you have dimension within a flat piece, which creates texture. When creating their relief, students used foam shapes for the dimension, then (once covered in foil) colored on top with patterns and designs. Total project time: 1-40 minute class period 5th Grade Radial Symmetry Inspired by Stained Glass Window Designs Materials -black paper (cut into a circle) -foam shapes (with or without stickers) -pencil -colored paper for frame Students were introduced to radial symmetry. Examples were shown of many stained glass window designs, as well as kaleidoscope patterns. Students created their own radial designs (split into four quadrants) using the foam shapes to demonstrate their understanding. Total project time: 2-40 minute class periods 6th Grade Zentangle Patterns While searching on Google, I came across tons of zentangle patterned circles. This was not my image, but I'm using it as an example of what I wanted my students to create. So to the original artist, you inspired us! Thank you! Materials -white paper circle -pencil -skinny black marker -zentangle pattern packet with examples -colored markers -colored paper for frame Students were shown zentangle pattern examples and where they may find patterns in the commercials they watch or the clothing they wear. Students create their own zentangle pattern circles, teaching them patience and care with overlapping patterns. Total project time: 3-40 minute class periods. The students LOVED their work!

Yay! Everyone I have some very fun activities planned this week and to make it even better we are using my Pete the Cat unit, which is a favorite of mine.
Welcome to today’s block for Celebrate Christmas! What a fun program to be a part of! Make sure you check out the current Super Deals, and post any blocks you make in the Celebrate Christmas Quilt-Along Flickr Group so you will have a chance at those great button prizes from Button Mad! Cool beans, man! :D I decided to take that really fun Circle of Geese block that I’ve been wanting to make all year, and modify it into a Circle of Geese Wreath. I think this would look fantastic in any holiday fabric color scheme. It does involve paper foundation piecing, but I’m going to walk you through that, so don’t sweat. ;D You'll need paper printouts to sew on, green scraps (a 4 1/2" square cut diagonally works well for 2 geese), a fat-quarter's worth of background fabrics, red scraps for the ribbon, and whatever applique supplies you prefer (I used steam-a-seam). First, print and prepare the pieces. Go to the free block pattern offered by Beth Maddocks at her Piece by Number site: http://piecebynumber.com/pastbom/CircleOfGeese-PieceByNumber.pdf Print out FIVE copies of page 1 -or- page 2 (depending on which way you want your wreath to spin – please note that it will spin the opposite direction from the pattern because of the way the foundation method works) We are going to circumvent a common problem with print-out patterns, which is that you find that either your printer has scaled it down or the uploaded pattern is a wee bit too small. Take your sheets and write “Extend this side” on the two edges as shown. (They touch piece 8 and pieces 2 and 5.) (notice I printed the Clockwise Spin – your extensions will be on different sides if you print the other one) Then trim FOUR of the patterns so that you’re about 1/8 inch away from the regular sides, and 1/2 inch away from the extended sides. (I did mine in one stack to save time) Take the FIFTH copy and cut it apart. We will use these as templates so we don’t waste a ton of fabric. I cut off the seam allowance on piece 9 and 3. Layer four 7 x 11” pieces of background fabric FACE DOWN and then lay the templates on top. We want to cut 1/2 inch bigger than the template on each side. For the green triangles, you can take some 4½” squares and cut in half on the diagonal, or find scraps that are big enough to fit the triangle plus a good ½" on each side. Now let’s piece! Turn the pattern over and swipe a glue stick in the center of piece 1 on the UNPRINTED side. (Use a household gluestick if you don’t have a quilting glue pen.) Then put down a green scrap FACE UP over the area, making sure you’ve covered the seam allowances around it. (Just turn it back around and hold it up in front of your computer screen to check the shadow.) Now place it back on the table with the printed side up. Take one of those annoying advertisement postcards and line it up with the line by piece 2. Fold the pattern down. Lay your ruler so 1/4 inch hangs over, and trim it. Lay a background from template 2 RIGHT SIDE UP on the table nearby. Pick up the folded pattern and lay it on top, lining up the edge you just trimmed with the edge of the template. Also, you can see the outline of the folded-over part to make sure you’ve got piece 2 covered, INCLUDING ENOUGH FOR THE SEAM ALLOWANCES. (If your eyes don’t like trying to see that, you can trace the lines on the back.) Unfold the pattern and, unless you're super skilled at keeping these pieces where they're supposed to be, put a pin in. (See how I've placed it so that I can stitch without running over it?) Sew ON THE LINE that’s between piece 1 and 2, extending all the way through the seam allowances that should be on either end. Shorten your machine’s stitch setting, and tighten your top tension just a bit more than you would normally use. This will make life happy when it’s time to remove the papers. Open the fabric out and press the fabric side without steam. (I do find that real pressing turns out much nicer for foundation piecing than finger pressing or rolling. I also lay a cheap piece of cotton/poly on my ironing board so printer ink doesn’t get on the board.) Now for piece 3: With this slightly complex pattern, you need to pop the paper off your stitching on the part that extends past the next line. No biggie. Who cares if it tears weird. Won’t matter. :D Once you’ve popped that, you can put the post card down, fold the line between piece 1 and 3, lay the ruler down and trim an added seam allowance, lay the unit on top of a FACE UP piece 3 fabric, open the paper back out, and sew on the line. (just like before) Repeat the process for each new piece. Sometimes you’ll have to pop more than one seam end through the paper when you need to fold on the next line. And - when you sew on a line that meets the extended sides - sew all the way to the edge of the paper. NOTES: When you lay down on top of whites, if you let the white jut out a smidge, you will avoid darker colors showing through the front side. **Just make sure you ALWAYS add your ruler with the 1/4 inch extended. I’ve made the mistake of cutting right at the edge of the postcard (I guess my brain figured I put a measuring device down already when I put the postcard down). If this happens, then you get to unpick the last seam and redo the whole last piece (or more). So pay attention to what you’re doing. :D When you have all four quadrants pieced, trim the outside edges (leaving the 1/4 inch allowance intact) ONLY on the two inner sides. These are the side along Piece 9 and the side along Pieces 9, 3, and 1. Now tear the paper off. This is a great excuse for sitting in front of your favorite show! Works best for me if I go in reverse order from how they were sewed, pinching my left fingers right at the stitching on one end and roll-pulling the paper away along the length of the line while my left fingers slide along to support the stitches. Sew the block together: Line the inside corners up on the straight edge, and sew two sets of these. Just let those two untrimmed edges go as far as they want off the outer edge of the other quadrant. And then put the halves together so that you end up with a block that looks like this. Now it's time to square up the block to 12-1/2". If your printer scaled down the pattern, no worries - you're not short any where! :D Add Christmas Embellishments: All that’s left is to cut a bow out of scraps and appliqué it on, using your favorite method. Throw some berries in, too, or a horn or a teddy, if you like! If you like my bow, you can use my pattern. Here's a pdf file of it: Bow And if you want to print out this tutorial, here is a docx file you can access: Circle of Geese Wreath Enjoy!! This block is perfect for a modern sampler quilt or a pillow cover. Don't forget to explore the wonderful Celebrate Christmas site and post pics of the blocks you make at the Flikr group. :D Celebrate Christmas headquarters: http://quiltinggallery.com/quilters-fun/celebrate-christmas/ Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/celebrate-christmas-quilt-along/

Reading can be a hard sell for students. Introducing middle school literature circles can be the game changer your classroom needs to foster reading.
September 15th was National Dot Day! It is based around Peter Reynolds wonderful book called "The Dot." My friend Mrs. K joined us and we dressed up special for this day! This book encourages kids to "Make your mark and see where it will take you!" Sir Ken Robinson once said, "Creativity is as important as literacy!" Creativity is a 21st Century Skill and we focus on those 21st Century Skills equally as much as we focus on the Common Core Standards! They are just as important to your child's success as the standards, if not more! This book has a great message for both children and teachers! It teaches children to celebrate their creativity and helps them build confidence in their own abilities! It teaches us teachers how powerful our encouragement and our words can be! We can use words to build them up or to criticize. In this room we choose to build these precious children up! This day was a day to show them that! It also teaches me that the process of creating art is more important than the product! What the students create should not at look the same as everyone else's creations! Nor should it look like what I think it should look like! Where is the creativity if I direct what their art should look like! Each one should be unique to the student who created it! We figured that celebrating International Dot Day was a perfect way to celebrate the process of creating! I set out some experiences and materials for the kids to make a mark and see where it takes them! The kids also created dots out of other things they found in our room! The kids wanted to have a Dot Gallery like the one in the book. They could not wait for me to display their art for all to see! We decided to put it in the hallway, but we had enough to fill our room too! Creativity will be celebrated in our room all year. Encourage your children to make their mark, the way they want to make it! You will be amazed at the confidence you will see growing each time they have the opportunity to create!

Like many other art teachers around the world, my students participated in International Dot Day. The students dressed up in polka dots, we watched the story of The Dot and sang along to The Dot song. If you have not read the book The Dot, by Peter H. Reynolds, it’s a must-have for the art teacher! Two of my classes made the giant 3-d stuffed dots. These were super fun to make. I traced a hula hoop onto a large … Read more... →

Each year, I love to have the kids create something personal and little for the bulletin board on our classroom's front door. I always try to teach with the door open (unless the air conditioner is on!) and I love to have it show something inviting. Here's what I came up with this year: lol, my hand seems {huge!} in the middle :) This is such a super-easy project and the kids loved it! All you will need are: cardstock Sharipes markers & color pencils scissors I first decorated my own hand and then had the header posted on the board so kids knew what we would be doing. I showed them my "High 5" and then passed out a sheet of cardstock to each student. They had their table supplies at their desk and their only rule was to write their name in black Sharpie and make sure it could be easily seen after they color their hand. Some kids chose to do random designs on their hands and others chose to make more personalized designs. I liked the variety and think they turned out great! After they had finished tracing and decorating their hand, they cut them out and I laminated them to make them more durable for the year. I hot-glued them to the bulletin board with the cute header and it looks so fun, welcoming, and colorful when you get to our classroom! Want the "High Five To a Great Year" header? It's available on Google Docs for free HERE or by clicking the picture below. I hope you are enjoying your Sunday evening and I am heading to bed soon to get ready for our first full week back! Eeek! Go figure I already have a cold, and so does my 15 month-old...never a dull moment :)

Hey, y'all! We are officially back in school and in full swing! Our first days of art were spent printing dots after reading The Dot! We used Gelli-Arts plates to print our dots because I found that I had about 20 brand new round plates in my storage closet (wow, the things you find when you clean). Here's the video I created for my students: If you cannot see this video then it's because you are looking at my blog from your phone. Super annoying, I know. It's a blogger thing, it's not you. So here's the direct link to my YouTube page. You should totally subscribe because I add new content all the time. Now I know many of you don't have those Gelli Arts plates (and they are a bit expensive) so...I came up with an alternative for you: pie pans from Dollar Tree! I am using the pizza pie pans here: Again, if you can't see it, here it is. First grade through fourth were printing which means I had drying racks brimming with art. So a way to keep up with everything was clipping clothes pins with the teacher's names on them between the classes on the drying rack. Once dry, the clips were used to hold the artwork together. I know...every now and then I have a decent idea. After two 30 minute art classes of printing, my students looked at all of their prints and picked their fave for display. They then had to give their piece a title and 'sign it' like Vashti so it could be displayed in the hallway. Here was a video I created to explain this process: Need more Dot Day fun? Well, here is a simple one-day activity I created as a sub plan a couple of years ago. Sheet included: And if you want to check out a big ole blog post filled with TONS of Dot Day ideas, then here you go!
