We are currently starting our final projects of the year. [I can't believe it!] But for now, let me catch you up on what we just finished... 5th and 4th grade have been working on the same concepts for the past two projects. Both grades participated in a school wide Egyptian art unit by creating Egyptian sarcophagi. They reviewed SYMMETRY, and learned about hieroglyphics. After that, they learned about creating TINTS and SHADES by making an undersea painting. You can find these handouts here- http://www.teachandshoot.com/2015/02/art-room-handouts-round-3-value.html I would have let the students have more freedom with other colors, but I really only had blue left, and underwater came to mind. Thanks for visiting! 3rd grade also participated in the Egyptian art unit by creating Egyptian PORTRAITS! This might be my favorite project from this year. What a wonderful job the students did! After that, 3rd grade made ORIGAMI frogs, but I forgot to take photos! After origami, 3rd grade started creating ASSEMBLAGE art like the artist Louise Nevelson. They are just starting to paint their sculptures this week! 2nd grade created a fun pyramid COLLAGE as part of the Egyptian art unit! After that, 2nd and 1st grade both created ABSTRACT Picasso PORTRAITS. 1st grade and kindergarten created Egyptian necklaces and learned a little bit about PERSPECTIVE by drawing the pyramids. Kindergarten just finished learning about weaving by creating some alligator WEAVINGs!

It’s difficult for me to put into words the impact Charlie Hunter’s work has on me, maybe that’s what makes it so great. Attempting to explain his work from an analytical point of view leaves one empty and unfulfilled. At least for me, there’s such an emotional depth to his work that it leaves me... Read more »

UPDATE: Hello everyone! I have been at a new school with nearly 3x the students! Eek! Interactive notebooks haven't been feasible here, so I haven't been keeping up with them. I do have some of the things I've use available for free (see the links below) and I'm working on uploading more! https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Music-Interactive-Notebook-Pages-Rhythms-475383 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Music-Interactive-Notebook-Pages-Dynamics-Tempos-Articulations-424104 Several of my wonderful readers have asked/emailed about how I use interactive notebooks in the music room. Hopefully this post can help you, in case you decide to use them in your own classroom. Let me caution you - This is only my 2nd year using them. I decided to "give it one more go" before I pass judgement on the idea as a whole. Last year, I used them often in the first semester, but they somewhat "fizzled" out in the second - I even decided to keep my 5th graders notebooks and recycle them for third this year. Pros - I like the idea of having a place for students to log what they've learned, reflect on what they've heard, and post assignments and compositions, not to mention something they can take with them when they go on to middle school. The students have been positive about using the notebooks and seem to enjoy them. Cons - I do not like the 1) time it takes to use the notebooks and, honestly, the 2) time it takes for me to create things to go inside the notebooks (Have you seen your average 3rd grader make a foldable? Eeek), 3) the cost (or acquisition) of materials (makers, pens, glue, paper, and the notebooks themselves). Some basics: * I only use notebooks with grades 3-5. You might just pick one or two grades to "try it out". * Find a convenient place to store them and an efficient way to pass them out/clean them up. I store them on a bookshelf by homeroom teacher. On the cover, I've written the student's name, grade, and teacher in permanent marker. I color-code (using a marker dot or sticker) each journal based on where the student sits (if they sit on the red risers, they have a red dot, etc). Journals can be passed out quickly during our normal greeting/warm-up routine. * Create a sense of "ownership" for the students - praise their good work, allow them to share with others, ask to use theirs as "model" for other classes/grades, put a cute sticker on a particularly worthy assignment * Create meaningful assignments that are aligned with your curriculum. For me, this is why so much of my notebook is a "work in progress". I've had to "grow" my curriculum with my students. This is my 3rd year with them, and it is the first year that I've though, "Whew, they are pretty much on-pace with where they should be." * Keep it simple - If I can use the large paper-cutter to crop a worksheet, rather than hand 25 scissors to 3rd graders, I'll do myself, thanks. If it will take me twenty minutes to fold 20 foldables when it would take a 4th grader 20 minutes to fold 1, I'll do it. If I can glue in a page and spare 30 glue-bottles from the fingers of 30 5th graders, I'll do that too. See what I mean about cons (taking a lot of your time)? * If you want to have an organized notebook (a section for rhythm, a section for melodies, etc), you'll need to plan out nearly all the components ahead of time. I do a basic "notebook" planning page per nine weeks, where I list things I want to create or have the students create to put in their notebooks. Then, I simply have the students enter in notes and assignments as we complete them. Many teachers have their student's notebooks number by page (i.e. pages 20-35 are rhythmic pages), but those teachers are usually teaching only one classroom of students, not multiple classes and grade levels. Anyway, here are a few pages from my current 3rd grade "model" notebook. We'll begin working in our notebooks next week (fingers crossed). Here's the title-page for our notebooks. I let the students decorate it themselves, as long as what they draw is music-related. I set a time limit of 10 minutes for this activity and I usually multi-task by playing a song we're learning or will learn, or have learned, or will listen to, etc, while they complete this task. This sheet includes the musical vocabulary the students will learn over the first nine-weeks. Words highlighted in yellow are words the students are learning/have learned. At the end of the first nine weeks, the students put a green dot next to words they are sure they know, and a red dot next to words they are unsure of this. This gives me the opportunity to see what we need to revisit or relearn. Vocabulary words are posted on the word wall and on the "vocabulary wall" which is a large pocket chart (I forgot to take a picture of this but I will post it soon - it is very effective). This little page is quite interactive. The students illustrate each vocabulary word. We use these words ALL the time (they are also on the word wall and currently on the vocabulary wall as we are reviewing them). Here are some rhythm pages for 3rd grade. In addition to basic rhythms (whole note/rest, half note/rest, quarter note/rest, eighth notes and sixteenth notes), my 3rd graders also learn the dotted half note, tika-ti (2 sixteenths, one eighth), and ti-tika (1 eighth, 2 sixteenths). I usually also touch on syn-co-pa (eighth quarter eighth) and tam-ti (dotted quarter eighth) because these rhythms are common in some of the recorder and choral music we do. One Beat Rhythms Two Beat Rhythms Four Beat Rhythms I'll also be including some rhythm practice pages and a few rhythm composition activities that the students will glue in. Here are a few melodic-based pages. Melodic Shape Activity Melodic Vocabulary with Illustrations Do Re Mi Song Activity Treble Clef - corresponds to boomwhacker colors Music Street I like the music street printable. Students fill in the solfa as we learn them. Some students can use the floor staff, while others track the movement in their notebooks (as we discuss steps, skips, and leaps). I also plan to include some sight-reading practice pages (more soon). Students can also log listening experiences. I like to include these basic vocabulary pages so students can refer to them. And short assignments, like the ones described in 3rd Grade Listening Recommendations , can also be logged here. Listening Recommendations Exploration Report Two years ago, I had a moderate obsession with foldables. I'm currently "researching" (and by that, I mean browsing Pinterest) to see which foldables to incorporate in the interactive notebook. Love this book! Orchestral Instruments Foldable Pentatonic Page from previous notebooks Recorder Fingerings Foldable Rhythm Value Look Book - I'll probably use this again See what I mean? Obsessed. This year, I've already created one new foldable: I love it because it was so simple to create (just print, cut out the square for the students). I'm thinking we could use a few of these as we study composers. That's about all I have for right now. I'll update soon!

“I think the strongest paintings are the ones that have the simplest ideas behind them. It’s very easy to be dazzled by a vista, and then you wind up doing six paintings in one. To me, it’s more important to keep the idea as simple as possible, to make the message clear. Each piece should... Read more »

3rd Graders are learning about the art of Jim Dine! They enjoyed a slide show about his work and then designed their own heart art just in time for Valentine's Day. They thought about their color schemes, and creating value while blending in their paintings. Download Jim Dine Slideshow - Click Here! What I learned about Jim Dine is that when he "chooses an object, he makes it HIS!" - Morgan, 3rd Grade What I learned about Jim Dine was that his mom died when he was young. Maybe missing his mom made him paint hearts because they reminded him of his mom! -Ella, 3rd Grade What I learned about how to blend light paints and dark paints into colored paint to create value! - Layne, 3rd Grade What I learned about was that he got his ideas for painting robes when he was looking at a newspaper and saw a robe in an advertisement. He said, "That looks like ME!" - Cody, 3rd Grade What I learned was that he painted a robe because he thought it looked like him. The robe was empty and I think he was sad so he thought it looked like himself. - Olivia, 3rd grade

This week our first graders began their impressions of lupines. I saw a similar lesson for kindergarteners posted awhile ago on Artsonia here. We tweaked the original lesson here and there and I will post the finished results next week. Meanwhile, here is what we have done so far... These are on the drying rack until next week when we add details. I started with a smartboard presentation with lots of pictures of lupines. I had the kids tell me what they noticed about the flowers ( colors, shapes, leaves, stems, etc.). I also mentioned that if we finished early enough I would tell them the story of "the lupine lady," Miss Rumphius (which I did have time to read). We started with donated illustration board cut to 4 1/2" X 12" (but paper would work fine), pastels and oil pastels in warm colors. After explaining the difference between pastels and oil pastels, I had the kids apply a layer of chalk first. Then they sort of scribble-scrabbled (is that a real word??) oil pastel for some texture. Next, we painted stems and leaves. They had images on the smartboard to refer to. We then removed the green paint and the pastels from the table and it was on to the blossoms. I demonstrated how to dip a thumb into the paint cup and then make large thumbprints, first with purple or rose and then with white on top. Students pretty much interpreted these stalks in their own way as you can see from the examples drying below. Next week we will do some outlining of the blob shapes with a black marker and we will be done. I'll post the results:) The main message of this book is the goal of "doing something to make the world a more beautiful place." Miss Rumphius does this by sowing lupine seeds wherever she walks and then seeing the flowers spread over the countryside as time goes on. Kids could really make the connection that they had added something of beauty today with their own artwork. Everybody left the art room smiling today:)))
