My Grade 7 class recently finished these cherry blossom paintings as part of our "Japanese Art" unit. I absolutely adore cherry blossom paintings- I think they're very stylish and feminine. I also love anything Japanese related, so I really enjoy teaching this unit. And believe it or not, the blossoms are just finishing up here where I live. Yes, in June. We started off by watching a video about the Cherry Blossom festival in Japan known as Hanami ('flower viewing'). In the spring, thousands of people fill the parks to hold feasts under the flowering trees, and sometimes these parties go on until late at night. I thought it was interesting to find out that most public schools have cherry blossom trees outside of them. Cherry blossoms have been used extensively in Japanese art for hundreds of years. According to the Buddhist tradition, the brief beauty of the blossoms symbolizes the transient nature of life as the flowers last for at most a few weeks. The cherry blossom is also tied with the samurai culture, representing the fleeting nature of the samurai’s life and symbolic of drops of blood. So for this lesson students created a scroll-like painting of a cherry blossom branch using the classic 'blow paint through a straw' technique. You can find this technique all over the internet and Art teachers have been using this technique for eons. We first created a blue sky background (on long strips of white paper) with a faint full moon silhouette by placing a small circle container (in this case yoghurt) and painting around it with light blue tempera paint. While the sky paper is drying, student practiced painting (tempera paint) cherry blossoms in their sketchbooks. I demonstrated how to mix various tints of pink (always add the darker colour, red, a bit at a time, to the white- not the other way around). The blossoms: as long as they had five petals, students could paint them however they wanted and in whatever tint of pink. (You could also do plum blossoms in tints of purple). Once the sky paper is dry, student blew watery brown tempera paint (ink-like consistency) across their paper in a branch-like shape. I really demonstrated how to do this, as kids have a tendency to blow down as opposed to across. If you blow downwards, you get really, erm, hairy-looking trees!! I stress to keep it simple and follow a line of paint across the paper. Keep adding more paint and creating new branches as necessary. Encourage the kids to take lots of breaks as you can get really light-headed doing this! Let these dry flat. Next class, students paint on their cherry blossoms using tempera. Just add them randomly anywhere- add lots. I own some Asian-style rubber stamp 'chops' or seals- which is basically the artists signature. They are stamps or seals used in lieu of an artists signature in Asian art. They are typically made of stone and used with red ink. I have no clue what mine say and none of my Chinese students could read them either. Soooo, I just hope it's nothing rude or way wierd! Of course, if you have lino-cutting tools, students could make their own from an eraser. As I didn't have a red ink pad, I just squirted some red tempera onto a pad of paper towels. It worked pretty good. But an ink pad would be easier, obviously. Once these were dry, I mounted them onto larger mauve construction paper. Here are some of the Grade 7 results: Ta da! I displayed them with our Kimono project.

Happy Monday! The first week back after Christmas break is over and you're back in the swing of things! Time to start pluggin' in some new ideas into your daily routine! Yesterday in our Sunday School class, we played a really fun (yet ridiculously simple to make) game to help review the lesson we were learning for the day. We were learning about the 12 sons of Jacob (characters from the Bible), and I was looking for a fun way to review them, so I decided to do a little "Guess Who" game. It's so simple friends, that I can barely even call it DIY because *I* didn't really do much accept for spend about 5 minutes on the computer creating the following two pages. This top picture has boxes with the pictures of Jacob and his 12 sons on it (images found here). and the bottom picture has the same sized boxes, but no pictures. I had the students cut out their picture boxes (see - so easy, I didn't even have to do the cutting!). They then set the up 2 file folders like shown below (I paper clipped them together so that they would stay together. You'll also notice I stuck an object (a bell, in my case) in between the folders to keep the top half from falling over. The students then placed their blank box sheet on their side of the folder and placed the picture cards in any order on top of the blank boxes. Again - notice who is doing all the work :) Not me! I then had a separate set of the picture cards, one set per partner group (this was in ADDITION to the cards that they cut up). Once students set up their board placing all pictures on the box, I had each partner group pick a person from the additional picture card set and paper clip this picture in the corner on the top of the file folder. (Ex. The picture below shows "Levi" clipped in the corner). This became the person that their partner would try to guess. Students played the game using the regular "Guess Who" rules asking their partner yes/no questions about their secret person. (ex. Does your person have a striped belt?). Students would remove people off their board as they eliminated who their partner's person might be. Once a partner had won, the students could rearrange their board as they wanted to and choose a new picture card and play again. So, how can you use this idea in your classroom? EASY! Choose characters from a book, historical figures, or any other group of people your students need to review. It would even make a great game to tuck away for now and use at the beginning of the school year by using pictures of your students and have students guess which classmate their partner has. What a great way for your students to get to know their classmates at the beginning of the year!!
