About The Artwork This work was inspired by sketches I had done on location in Chicago. I worked on it a very long time so the paint is thick and textured, most of the top layer done with a palette knife. Like Hans Hoffman, I am interested in the visual push/pull of color. I like the abstract patterns that I achieved in this painting. Wired, the sides are painted, ships in a box.

I created this stacked cityscape by piecing together parts from a NYC kids travel journal I recently completed. When I get the time, I'd ...
The kids and I loved doing this project. First of all, I love combining collage with painting and drawing, and I love big bustling cities. Secondly, this project was an opportunity for my students to visually communicate where they, or their families, comes from. Always big points for personalizing art. The New York artist, Elizabeth Rosen, was the inspired for this project. See her work here. Elizabeth Rosen Objectives were: creating a layered cityscape using various collage and book papers; overlapping buildings; variety in text, color and shape; balance and harmony; perspective (smaller and higher in back, bigger and lower at bottom); and creating depth with charcoal sticks, which we smudged with our fingers. We added personalized symbols which represent our home city of choice. We began by painting our sky in an opaque color. We only painted half way down, because we knew that our collage papers would cover the bottom up to middle portion (saving on time and paint is always good!) We then cut out various collage papers in simplified building shapes and were mindful of varying our shapes and sizes of our building, as well as choosing papers with different fonts, coloration and design, so as to achieve a well balanced and dynamic cityscape. We arranged and then glued, starting at the back of the city and moving down, so that those in front overlap those in back. We then drew symbols, signs or other indicators of the city we were representing (a shopping mall in Dubai, the City Hall in Zagreb, building top water tanks, yellow cabs and a bagel shop in New York, a church and clocktower in Prague are a few examples the kids came up with the identify their city). We cut these out and pasted them on our buildings. Lastly, we used soft vine charcoal to run a black line along the edge of all our buildings, and then smudged lightly with our fingers. This gives immediate and stunning depth and 3-dimension to our city. Represented in the below collages are Berlin, Prague, Milano, NYC, Minneapolis, and an invented city. Kids 7-9. Kids 7-9 Represent in the below collages are Dubai, Budapest, New York, an imaginary city, Zagreb and a Chinese city. Kids 7-11

Solla Sollew by a 7th grade student Thursday March 2nd is Dr. Seuss's birthday, also known as 'Read Across America' Day. Many schools across the country hold celebrations every year and plan special projects incorporating literacy and the arts. To learn more about ways your school can celebrate this special day, please click here. My students will spend the weeks leading up to Read Across America Day creating their own unique Dr. Seuss inspired cityscapes. This lesson also introduces concepts like color theory, overlapping, foreground, middle-ground and background, linear perspective and atmospheric perspective. Best of all, it encourages literacy, story telling, creative problem solving and fun! Here is how you can create your own whimsical, playful imaginary world, just like Dr. Seuss: This art lesson is inspired by the Dr. Seuss story I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew and by an art lesson by Phyllis Levine Brown from the blog 'There's a Dragon in My Art Room' on warm and cool city-scapes. You can find her original art lesson here. I was able to draw inspiration from her ideas and modify them for my older students. Below is a wonderfully narrated read along version of the Dr. Seuss story that inspired this art project: Nobody knows what Solla Sollew actually looks like, since the hero of the story never actually manages to get there. All we know of it is what he imagined. It could look like anything we can envision. Here is the imaginary city that I drew after reading the book myself: My classes started out by creating the sky and learning how to mix colors. On the first day we learned how to create concentric circles and then create tints by gradually adding white to each color. On the second day we mixed two primary colors using the same method. One primary color was painted in the outermost circle. The other was painted in the center circle. And then the colors were gradually mixed to create a gradient. Instructions for creating the cityscape: Cut out your concentric circle color studies and glue them onto a piece of construction paper to create the background. Overlap the circles and glue them so that they go slightly off the top and sides of the construction paper to create the sky. Flip the paper over and trim the excess from the back, without cutting into the construction paper. Use another piece of construction paper to create the horizon line. The horizon should be higher than the bottom of the circles. Draw it with a piece of chalk before cutting it out. Overlap the horizon line so that it cuts off the bottom of the circles, lining the bottom edge of the construction papers up exactly. Glue it down to form the sky, horizon line and land. Here is an easy method for drawing wacky Dr. Seuss style 3-D buildings. Start out by drawing a curved arrow and then turn each arrow into a skyscraper by adding the sides. Group the buildings together and use overlapping. Please watch the video below for more detailed instructions on how to draw the 3-D cityscape and complete your collage: My unfinished cityscape (student art gallery coming soon) Particular thanks goes to the blogger Phyllis Levine Brown for her wonderful description of how to create faux perspective buildings by first drawing arrows. It's a wonderful, fun way to introduce simple 3-D drawing to children prior to teaching one point perspective. How to draw a Dr. Seuss style staircase Student Art Gallery 6th and 7th Grade Cityscapes
This resource is everything you need to set up an awesome volume and surface area project, just add students, cardboard and tape!!! Students will build a city and calculate the volume and surface area of each building. They must create prisms and pyramids to make their cities. The project asks the students to plan and build a city with 3D shapes such as: rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, square-based pyramids and triangle based pyramids. The pack comes with editable options so that you can easily add cylinders, cones and spheres as well! The students will then calculate the surface area and volume of each building and put their results on a little flag on top. Perfect for display in any common area of the school or classroom! This project is highly engaging and allows the students to discover 3D shapes as they never have before! I know I was surprised to hear so many students discussing measurements, 3D nets, and surface area in an authentic way and teaching each other as they went along. This resource includes: ☆ Blueprint page with instructions ☆ Student Checklist ☆ Calculation Flags to put on top of the buildings ☆ Project Report ☆ Teacher guide with pitfalls and sample schedule ☆ Grading Rubric If your students still need a little help with Volume, then check out my VOLUME TASK CARDS!
