I've run an afterschool makers club at my school for the past two years. Here I share tips on creating norms, balancing guided projects & free time, & more.
If you’re like me, when the last weeks roll around and computers are collected, it can be hard to come up with meaningful end of the year activities. I think your kids will love this printable project. I call it “Thumbs Up to a Great Year”, but it is equally suitable for the beginning of the year (you could call it "Thumbs Up for a Great Year") or for any time you want to get across the idea of what makes you special. Here's what is included: ✅A brainstorm page - to get kids thinking ✅Thumbprint copy - just print and go! ✅An example - so kids know exactly what to do Here is what I recommend: ⭐️Print the “Brainstorm” page for each student and ask them to fill it in. Give them plenty of time to think and come up with meaningful ideas, but don’t force them to finish it. They can try to write multiple ideas and then they can pick their favorites. ⭐️Print a copy of the thumbprint. ⭐️Show students the example so they know what to expect. ⭐️Have kids write their ideas in pencil first, then go over each category with colored markers or colored pencils. ⭐️I let kids either stick them up on a bulletin board or keep them. I know bulletin boards often come down, but there might be a space by the main office that would welcome some student art for when people are in over the summer.

Inspired by pinterest... I took photos of the children a few days before starting the lesson. Use a white background when taking the profile photo. Use photo shop to create the silhouette or other photo editing software. I had the silhouettes printed on large 11x17 paper at my office. The day we started the lesson we talked about the elements of art, line, shape, form, value, space and some principles such as pattern and rhythm with the use of a power point. To finish the class, I had students trace them on the light table on 12x18 paper. Students also practiced creating patterns based on some examples on a worksheet I created for practicing the zentangle designs. I assessed the students designs and discussed some more options, ideas and things to stay away from on day two. I also equipped each table with some step by step zentangle pages I got from various sources on the internet including pinterest. These helped a lot! Students outlined their pencil silhouette with black sharpie. We then started dividing the background into large sweeping sections. Students then began creating Zentangles in the sections using ultra fine point sharpies and regular sharpies to fill in areas with black. After a few days of working, we decided the final step would be to fill in the silhouettes with black. I did experiment with adding watercolor in a wash and tie-dyed fashion to the background. That looked cool too. We didn't do that to our final project due to time needs for our short time together. The final results were great! I made suggestions for students to add details to areas, add more contrast by adding blacked out areas and finally to spend a little time sharpening and cleaning up various lines. The turned out GREAT!
