Continuant amb l'entrada anterior, us deixo aquest video que us pot ser útil. Una paròdia és una imitació que es fa d'alguna cosa, normalment amb intenció humorística. Una obra d'art que ha estat molt parodiada és El crit, d'Edvard Munch. Aquí hi ha alguns exemples: Els alumnes de quart han realitzat aquest projecte on es barreja la cultura pop amb una obra d'art del passat. Hem fet una revisió des de la ironia i la descontextualització. Així personatges que són icones per a ells, poden veure's ficat en una gran aventura. És una altra manera d'acostar el món de l'art als infants. L'humor i el joc és sempre necessari i uns vehicles fantàstics per a establir ponts d'unió. La descontextualització d'una obra pot ser també tot un fet artístic. Ens hem atrevit a jugar amb ella i preguntar-nos que poden significar aquestes obres avui en dia. Aquí teniu una mostra dels resultats obtinguts: ALUMNES DE 4t (9 anys)

The first project in my MaryMaking Favorites classes was Snorkeling Self Portraits which I originally posted back in November 2013. Because this is a collage project with separate board and papers for fish, water, and snorkelers, it was a perfect art project for the 2 hour class. I also like it because it involves a variety of media: watercolor and salt, acrylics, oil pastel and markers. Some children had snorkeling stories of their own to share which made it fun. Artwork by K-4th graders.
These colorful projects, which I call “Masterpiece Mosaics”, were a collaborative effort by my students in grades K through middle school. Each grade level created their own copy of a famous painting – six masterpieces in all. These were really pretty easy to do, and super FUN! We’re hoping they’ll command a high price at...

Hoe tof zijn deze glas in lood Sintjes en Pietjes? Op Pinterest kwam ik veel van deze ideeën tegen, maar eigenlijk is het een opdracht voor de bovenbouw. Waarbij de kinderen zelf een Pietje of Sint ontwerpen voor hun glas in lood raam. Hierbij moeten ze er natuurlijk wel rekening mee houden dat alles met elkaar verbonden moet worden. Uiteraard veeeeeeeeeeel te moeilijk voor voor de onder-/middenbouw, maar ik vond ze zo cool! Toen ben ik zelf aan het ontwerpen geslagen. Ik heb een bestaande kleur
Love the Xmas wish list and icicles! Grade 6 students read the book "Snowmen at Night" which is beautifully illustrated by Mark Buehner. First I demonstrated how to draw and shade snowmen being lit by moonlight. Students needed to be able to create a sense of a 3-D form through shading on one side. They used chalk pastels on blue or purple construction paper. The snowman had do be doing some sort of activity. This is a good lesson for the principle of movement in Art. As well, we dicussed how light (moonlight) can affect the way white snow looks. I encouraged colour blending and mixing. Students also needed to include the moon on one side of their paper and make sure they shaded the correct side of the snowman. Students were shown how to use the side of the chalk pastel to slowly lay down colour and blend and add more if necessary. Add highlights on everything to create dimension- on the arms, hats, etc. They used their fingers to blends the colours together. You can also use tissue (some students don't like the dry dusty feeling). I thought they all turned out super cute. Ta da! Sky diving! this one's heart was stolen!

A couple of weeks ago, I shared with y'all a video I created for my third graders. The video (seen below) introduced my kids to the colorful work of Sandra Silbertzweig and allowed them to explore creating a colorful and abstract self portrait. This lesson is currently one of my faves! Check out how stunning these beauties turned out. All of my students are currently creating a wide variety of self portraits for our Artome fundraiser...and I daresay, these just might be my faves. For this project, we used: * 9" X 12" black or dark blue construction paper. I would have loved to make these bigger but that is the size of the Artome frames. * Black glue or black puffy paint. There are a couple of ways to create black glue. My friend Ginger creates black glue with a mixture of Elmer's All Purpose glue and India Ink. I created mine with a one part mixture of paint to two parts glue. The key is to use Elmer's All Purpose, not the school grade stuff as it's runny. Also, I had some students use black puffy paint which worked great. Another alternative is to use glue on black paper as it dries clear and will leave behind a kind of transparent line that the dark paper can show through. * Chalk. I'm a big fan of Koss Brand chalk which can be found on Amazon. It's pricey but GREAT. This project took us two plus art classes to complete. On the first day, we watched the video, learned about Sandra and did a little guided drawing. If you watch the video, you'll see I left the drawing portion open to many levels of drawing alternatives. Once the drawing was complete, the kids traced their lines in glue. From there, if time allowed, we watched a bit more of the video as a kind of sneak peak to the following week. The real fun came with the chalk. In the video, I really stress how to use the chalk properly...and we do a whole lot of chatting about analogous colors. I really felt like this lesson was a wonderful exploration of color theory. Here is how each table of four children was set up: a laminated colorwheel that I found online and two bowls of chalk, one warm, the other cold. Students were to use the colorwheel as I did in the video. Many of them took the time to pair up and lay all of their chalk out on the wheel. This way, they could easily see what colors were available to use. I love that they were so into picking the correct colors for this project. After the second day, several kids were not finished. This was fine with me...I mean, look at those results! The following art class, as they wrapped up their drawing, we chatted about how their artwork was going to be hung like work in a museum. I had them get a notecard and create a label for their work. On their label, they were to write: Artists Name Title Medium Process or Description The information from this card will be used as both an assessment and also info for their Artome paperwork. Once all pieces were complete, I blew off the excess dust and sprayed them liberally with Aqua Net. I did that three times to insure the chalk particles were attached. I'm hoping hey remain as vibrant and colorful when they are framed. Because of our small format, I decided to opt out of having the kids add designs to their work. I had a feeling it might have gotten a little muddy if we did. If the pieces had been of larger format, I think that would have worked well. I'm so looking forward to this winter art show. All of the kids have been creating beautiful works of art! I'll be sharing the work of my other grades soon. Until then, have a bright and colorful weekend!

This list of student art Ideas for Elementary school auctions is a great resource for parents and teachers and school faculty.
5th graders thought about the vocab word genre and considered the multiple genres that are used in art history. We created out own still lifes with real cacti and drew them making sure to think about the art element of space and overlapping! We utilized our blending skills and our talents with pattern and balance when designing our patterned pots.

Nikita Busyak invented an ingenious way to spark up his drawings, making them look like they came straight out of a Harry Potter movie. Nikita enhances his superb creations with an illuminating pen. And the technique he coined, called “Glowing Archisketch,” breathes life into his illustrations, making it look as if someone has switched the light on inside the drawings.
Not sure if spring has sprung where you are but, according to my allergies, it's in full swing here! You know, I never had allergies in my life until moving to Tennessee. Now I have the pleasure of a sneezy nose, watery eyes and sinus pressure like a hammer through the skull for a couple weeks on end twice a year. Good times, for sure. But I suppose the floral and fauna make it all worth is. Or something. Anyway, I thought I'd share with you my very favorite art lessons for spring! I'm just wrapping up my spring break and trying to get my 'head in the game' as I think about how I'd like my students and me to close our school year. So today I'm sharing my very favorite Springtime Art Lessons! First up is this lesson I posted way back in 2012! It is one of my most popular blog posts but, to be honest, not a lesson I've repeated frequently. Why? Well, it does involve a lot of prep work, especially if you are going to make your own gelatin plates. Making your own gelatin plates is a lot of work, a lotta smelly and it's not vegetarian friendly. Gelatin is made from the bones of animals (which is totally gross if you think of all the Jell-o we ate as kids) and that always made me feel badly. However, these days, you can do a couple different things: make permanent gelatin plates (the ones in my blog post last for ALMOST a week before getting rather funky) or you can purchase the permanent Gelli plates. That's what I've done. And that's what I used for this lesson... This Andy Warhol-inspired flower print lesson (and video lesson!) was so much fun to do and a whole lot easier because we used our Gelli plates. Springtime is when we embark on a whole lot of printing in my art room so I am definitely thinking that this project will be on the agenda. We used fake flowers found at the dollar store but real ones would work as well. They just tend to fall apart a little more. Initially, I did this lesson at the beginning of the year with a second-grade class...and I think they were too young. This time, I may try it with my fourth graders or my second grade after they finish their first printing project. Printmaking is so fun to teach because once they have the basics, the kids become their very own printing factory! You can also print on fabric! I created a bunch of these printed squares using the same materials and method and then stitched them onto a dress from the thrift store. Your students could make a quilt with this idea! More info here. Nothing says spring like a big, beautiful and colorful mural! I have done two versions of this mural. Details on how my first graders created the flowers for this mural in this blog post. Curious about our What a Wonderful World mural? Video tour and more photos can be found here. Something we do every spring is a ceiling tile project. You can read how we started on this adventure here. The back story is that it was all by accident! We were hosting a sidewalk chalk artist and we were all to draw outside on the sidewalk. Unfortunately (or fortunately!) the day was to be a rainy one. So I had to think fast and we had the idea to draw on the backside of ceiling tiles with chalk. The back side has the same texture as a sidewalk and holds chalk perfectly (much better than paint!). Since then, we've done a ceiling tile each year! One year, we did flowers...which could easily translate to paper as well. Video and lesson for this right here. Looking for a fun springtime lesson for your students? These clay flowers were created by my third graders and were a hit! They came out of the kiln just in time for Mother's Day! Complete lesson here. Nothing says spring like these second-grade butterfly prints! This could also tie in perfectly with those Andy Warhol flowers as these look like early Warhol paintings! Video demo here. Whenever we are weaving, we always have tons of yarn scraps. The kids and I hate to throw them away so one year, we decided to create little still lives with them! These are the results. It was so fun to create and recycle. Looking for something for kindergarten? Look no further than these super cute collage flowers! We tied this in with a flower pot painting project too. So much fun! Nothing says spring like landscape paintings! Especially colorful ones like these. Check out this lesson here. If you're hesitant about using chalk in your art room because of the mess ane the fact that it never seems to set, then you might want to try this lesson on for size. It's always a hit and the results look like a cross between oil painting and watercolor...and it's done with chalk and liquid starch! Lesson and video here. This collage lesson began as a sub plan! And as a way for us to use up our bottomless supply of popsicle sticks (anyone else have exactly one million trillion?!). Less own with video here! A lesson I come back to year after year is this one! We go big with these drawings and the results are always stunning. Full lesson here! Love these beautiful cherry blossom paintings created by second grade! Lesson details right here. And last but not least: this Vincent van Gogh-inspired spring lesson! And there you have it, friends! My top 15 art lesson for the spring. Thanks for dropping by!
