I have seen variations of this project many times but have never tried it with my students. I am pleased with how our assemblages turned out! This was a great opportunity to clean out the junk in the classroom and teach about using found objects. My Primaries (or first grade) learned a little about American sculptor Louise Nevelson. There is a short clip on YouTube that explains about her artwork. I put a call out to families to donate … Read more... →

Idea for pre-school age children. This Louise Nevelson art project would also be great with homeschooling families.
Kids can use found objects in their art activities to create beautiful 3-D art sculptures inspired by Louise Nevelson. Complete art lesson included.
3rd graders studied the artist Louise Nevelson. She was a sculptor and created her works of art using junk objects. Most of her sculptures were meant to be viewed from the front only. These are called relief sculptures. 3rd graders created relief sculptures using junk objects.

I have been thrilled with the way the first graders' scultpures are turning out! Take a look for yourself!
One of my favorite artists is Louise Nevelson, so I decided to try a lesson using recycled materials to create Nevelson inspired assemblages. We talked about the artist's use of discarded materials and giving them a new life. Our pieces started with a 12x12 inch piece of corrugated cardboard as a base. We then took paper egg cartons, cardboard paper tubes, popsicle sticks, and extra pieces of corrugated cardboard to create our forms. I suggested repetition of elements, variation of texture, and utilizing as much of the space as possible. We generously glued our pieces onto the supporting structure. When dry, each student chose a single acrylic color to paint their pieces, trying to cover all of the viewable areas. Although the materials used for construction were practically free, these did require a lot of paint to get good coverage. So worth it though!

Welcome to the 3rd post in my series On Teaching Art. The first post and the background behind this series is On Teaching Art: Art vs. Craft. The second post was On Teaching Art #2: Organizing Curriculum. The question posed for this installment is: How can art be integrated into math, science, social science, and literacy? That is a great question and I very often connect art lessons with their units of study in the classrooms. Integrating art with other … Read more... →

New Zealand-based artist Louise McRae works with pieces of discarded wood that are hand-split into small fragments and then carefully reassembled into intricate wall sculptures. The pieces often resemble aerial views of sprawling cities or macro views organic growths, accentuated with acrylic paints, foil, or even charring the piece with fire outright. You can see more of McRae’s abstract cubist wall pieces at Seed Gallery and Gallery 33. More

I have been waiting to post this for what feels like FOREVER!! It is the project that never ends!! Just in time for Native American History Month, both my Art Club (twenty-one 4th and 5th grade students) and one of my 5th grade classes, began working on dreamcatchers. A dreamcatcher is an object traditionally created by Native Americans but have become very popular in modern times as well (very trendy in tattoos these days). They were hung above a sleeping person's bed and were said to filter out bad dreams and only let good dreams pass through. This lesson took 5 meetings of my art club to finish. Since we only meet once a week for 50 minutes, it took us 5 weeks (which is why I probably feel like I've been waiting forever)! I also started this lesson with one of my 5th grade classes but they only ended up seeing me for 4 days this rotation, so they were unable to finish. So I either wait another 4 weeks until I get them back in rotation to finish them, or it looks like Ms. Gram is giving up her planning period/lunch one day to finish them up with the kids! I've seen variations of this project which used much simpler techniques for weaving the middle part (or rather just randomly running strings across a circle), but I really wanted to go all the way with this. The first step for this project was to have students cut the center part out of a snack-sized styrofoam plate. I brainstormed like a million different materials to use for this part.. but styrofoam was the one that I found the most sturdy, economical, and easy to do for elementary-aged students on their own. Once the middle part was cut out we taped our plate back together (with clear tape). Then I had my kids use masking tape to mark off 8 evenly-spaced points on their plate. *They began doing one at 12 o'clock and then directly across at 6 o'clock, then in-between those at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, and then finally in-between all of those points. Once taped off, students used a hole punch to punch a hole in the middle of the taped part. **The tape is used to visually mark off the plate for students AND to increase durability (the styrofoam has a tendency to rip). Just doing this step took one entire class period. Next we tied the end of a long piece of tan colored string to one of the holes (we later numbered the holes to help students keep track of where they were). Then they ran the string through each of the holes, going in through the BACK side each time. You do this until you get all the way back to the hole you tied the string to (yes you need to run it through that hole as well). I projected this onto my board in hopes that it would help students see what I was doing. Once you've made it around once, you then start running your string through the loops that you made in-between each hole. Once you finish your second full lap around your circle, you will gently tug at your string (in the direction it's running) to tighten up the middle weaving. Then on the third time around you will run your string through the triangle shape that appears (the triangle that has it's base towards the middle). Each time you finish a lap, gently tug the string (in the direction it's running) to tighten it up. It got a little confusing. You continue doing this until you either make it to the center or you get tired of how complicated it is and give up. :) Side note: OMG. Be prepared for like 30 5th graders to stampede towards you for help (even if they are doing it right)!! Once you are finished (or decide to be), you will once again gently tug on the string (in the direction it's running) to tighten it up, then double-knot it to an adjacent string. Then trim off the excess string. Be prepared for this center weaving part to take you at least 2 full class periods and having to help (or "check if it's right") for what feels like a million children. Once the center part is done, you will select a piece of colored yarn that you will use to cover your styrofoam ring. Tie this piece of string around any spot on your styrofoam plate and begin wrapping it around your plate. You will need to remind your kids to be very gentle so they don't rip their plate (which if they do, you can just tape back together). Also let them know that they do not want this string to overlap. Each lap around should sit neatly next to the last wrap. You will use A LOT of yarn, so you will have to tie additional pieces of string to your first string to finish. Wrapping the plate will likely take between 1 1/2 - 2 class periods. Once you are done wrapping your ring, you can attach 3 pieces of yarn to the bottom of your dreamcatcher (just double-knot these onto one of the wrapped pieces of yarn). You can then add beads to the yarn and knot it closed at the end. To attach the feathers I simply dipped the end of my feather into super tacky glue, and then pushed it into the center of the last bead and let dry. The end result it stunning in my opinion.. but man did it take a lot of time and patience!! I think this would have worked better if I was teaching it to a smaller group. My art club has 21 and the 5th grade class I taught this to has 28. Dreamcatchers Time + Patience + More Time + MOREEEEE Patience = Beautiful Art
Scupltor Louise Nevelson used wooden objects for their evocative potential to call to mind the forms of the city, nature, and the celestial bodies.
Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) was one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. Born in Russia, she emigrated with her family to the United States in 1905. Her unique artistic style was influenced by the cubist movement, co-founded by Pablo Picasso, and the found object sculptures of Marcel Duchamp. Calling herself “the original recycler”, Nevelson is most famous for her found object assemblages, mostly made of wood and painted in a solid monochromatic black or white.
Junior High students have been asking to make another "Tasty color Wheel " from last year, However, we are right in the middle of creating our art timeline. We had just finished out last artist, and we were about to begin our Mondrian lesson, and I thought... " Tasty Mondrian!!!" There were a lot of similarities between the color wheel (look in a previous Junior High Post)and the Mondrian lesson, but some of the main differences were that I used Graham crackers instead of vanilla wafers. Also, we used twizzler pull and peel to create the lines ( I tried to look for black but could not find any). Each student received one cracker to work with but they had to share the icing. It was fun, educational and delicious!!!
