4th Grade Warm or Cool Birch Trees Fourth grade has been working hard on their mixed media birch trees, for the past couple of weeks. Here's how we created ours.... First, they had to choose if they were going to do WARM colors (Red, Orange, & Yellow) or if they were going to use COOL colors (blue, purple, and green). Then, they painted their backgrounds with Prang tempera cakes, on 12x18 pieces of 90lb paper. After they finished painting, they could start on their birch trees. we used half of a 12x18 sheet, drew them out with rulers, and traced the bark lines with Sharpie markers. The next class, we finished our trees, cut them out and glued them on! Here's a few working on their birch tree paintings.

Heliography (in French, héliographie) is the photographic process invented by Joseph Nic'ephore Ni'ece around 1822, which he used to make the earliest known permanent photograph from nature. Some time ago I promised a tutorial on sun printing fabrics and at long last I have it complete! This method of sun printing requires very few supplies and a nice sunny day. This technique will offer you a very subtle print that can be used as is printed or enhanced by paint or ink. Along with the fabric technique I will show you some results on other substrates like painted book pages, canvas, and plaster paper. Each application was the same but with very differing results. Sun Printing (various printing techniques which use sunlight as a developing or fixative agent) or Heliographic Art is a process where a wet medium is applied to damp fabric, in this case we are using strong coffee, while still wet, objects like stencils, cutouts, natural elements, etc. are placed on the wet fabric. It is then placed in full sunlight. As the fabric dries the outlines of the objects are transferred onto the fabric surface, in an essence, the sun is photographing the outline of the image onto the substrate. There are two methods of this fabric process, printing and painting, in this tutorial I will show you the printing method. SUPPLIES: *100 % cotton fabric, white will give you a more crisp visible print - A blend of cotton and synthetic (containing at least 50% cotton) will give you good results but the colors will be less vibrant and the design not as resistant to washing. I used a 100% cotton medium weight off white muslin, I wanted more of a tone on tone subtle print for the project I have in mind. *Spray Bottle *2 Tablespoons Instant Coffee *1 Cup hot water *2 teaspoons alum OR 2 Tablespoons Vinegar *Nature Finds - Leaves, flowers, grasses, feathers, etc. *Small pebbles to use as weights *Sturdy cardboard or piece of wood covered with a plastic trash bag or wax paper - tape down trash bag or wax paper so it does not slide or lift in the printing process. This will provide you with a smooth waterproof surface for the wet material to "stick" to which is needed for this process. I use the back of some old corrugated weather proof signs compliments of Handy Hubby. *Bowl of water *Iron * A sunny but still day, wind is not your friend for this printing process ;c) INSTRUCTIONS: *Machine wash your fabric to remove sizing, dry in dryer, once dry iron smooth. *Gather nature printing supplies: leaves, petals, flowers, grasses, twigs, stones, feathers, etc. *Mix 1 cup hot water with 2 Tablespoons instant coffee and 2 teaspoons alum OR 2 Tablespoons Vinegar, once thoroughly mixed pour into spray bottle. *Dip fabric into a bowl of water, wring out, smooth onto wax paper covered cardboard, wet material will "stick" to the waterproof surface. METHOD #1: *Place your nature finds in a pleasing arrangement on your damp fabric *Spray with coffee mixture pressings nature items down as they become wet *Place the board/cardboard which includes your finished piece in full sun - printing time can take as little as 15 minutes up to 1 hour, to check process gently lift the edge of nature item and check the strength of the print underneath. I usually set a timer and check mine in 30 minutes but generally I have found the complete printing/drying process to be about an hour. METHOD #2: *Before placing nature items on damp fabric surface, spritz lightly with coffee mixture *Place your nature finds in a pleasing arrangement on your coffee damp fabric *Spray coffee mixture over nature finds, pressing them down as they become wet *Place the board/cardboard which included your finished piece in full sun to print/dry as described above. *Once print has reached the desired effect you want, remove the nature elements. *Heat set the fabric by ironing for 2 to 3 minutes on the "cotton" setting of a hot dry iron. NOTE: light weight or even thicker foliage might need to be weighted down with pebbles to get a good outline and to prevent being swept away by a rouge puff of wind. *Once dry and heat set, the fabric should be treated like any piece of cotton, heat set with iron, rinse fabric lightly, put in clothes dryer at hottest setting, ans if desired once dry iron as an additional heat set. It is machine washable (without bleach!) and can be dry cleaned. RESULTS: *Leaves on 100% cotton off white muslin: *Leaves on 100% cotton fabric with a tone on tone bark like print: *Fern and Dried Grass on 100% cotton off white muslin: *Feathers on 100% cotton off white muslin: Your fabric is now ready for use in your artwork! OPTIONS OTHER THAN THE SUN: If the sun is not reliable there are other printing options: * Heat lamps, like the ones used in restaurants to keep food warm work well (this needs to be watched very carefully as they get EXTREMELY hot!) * A UV light such as the kind used to grow indoor plants will work. * Also, if weather is not cooperating you can place the fabric in front of a large window until completely dry, although the results are faster if the piece can be placed in direct sunlight. SEMI-USELESS TIP: Now you might or might not need this tip but just in case you might want to make sure your dog is put away, your cat is not lurking nearby, and there are no scampering squirrels in the vicinity to disrupt your printing process but just in case... While your back is turned your cat might be stalking a scampering squirrel. Your dog might just see the cat and the squirrel and decided to give a yapping chase that might accidentally just take place in the path of drying projects. You glance back just in time to witness the commotion. A scared scampering squirrel is making a leap for higher ground only higher ground happens to be your cardboard on the edge of a small table and is not so solid after all. It tips and flips flinging your half baked project onto one very startled cat who is hunchbacked and hissing at yapping dog while you gape in astonishment and wonder if you are living in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. I am just saying, it can happen! This explains why you don't see some of the results featured in the photos...only at the Quill! OTHER SUBSTRATES: *Leaf Print on Acrylic Painted Dictionary Page: *Leaf Print on Plaster Paper: *Leaf Print on Primed Canvas: SECOND SEMI-USELESS TIP: If you receive a phone call that requires you to leave during the printing process you might want to scrap the project, baked on plant matter is a bear to scrape off of a primed canvas...again...I am just saying...it could happen...here at the Quill! THIRD SEMI-USELESS TIP: If by chance while you are called away one very small rain cloud in an otherwise brilliant blue sky might scud by and spit on your canvas! Those spots you see were not on purpose. Seriously, I drove up to find it sprinkling ONLY over my project! Now, say you really, really, really want those spots, not a problem: While your project is wet sprinkle table salt over it for fine spots or rock salt for bigger spots. When dry simply brush salt off and spots will remain. OR after project has thoroughly dried but before heat setting, flick water onto surface to make coffee bleed, allow to dry again, then heat set. I hope you enjoy trying this tutorial to make your own unique fabrics to enhance your artwork!

This week 4th grade will start their fall birch tree painting! We create these by using.... Materials: 12x18 90lb paper Crayola black tempera paint little pieces of cardboard and tempera cakes for the leaves and grass Day 1: We will look at photos of birch trees online, and talk about the texture of the bark and really examine what these birch trees really look like. I'll demonstrate how to drag the cardboard and black paint across the paper to create this unique bark texture. The students will get a piece of practice paper first, will practice creating these trees until they get the hang of it, and then they'll get their final piece of paper to create their painting on. Here's a picture of how to get started. If you're right handed, swipe your cardboard to the right. Vice versa if you're left handed. I create one side, and then flip my paper around to create the other side of the tree. This makes things so much easier! Here's what the students should finish on Day 1 Day 2: We'll add branches with Sharpies, and paint leaves and grass with our tempera cakes! Here's what they have finished so far! These guys and girls are off to a great start!! You can also change the background up to accommodate for any season. Here's a different arrangement, with snow and sunset colors in the background! “Lauren Stacey is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.”

When we started our Continuous Learning Plan, Kansas' response to Covid-19, it was decided that elementary specials would be offered as enrichment. Music and PE had two different Zoom sessions a week for PK-2 and 3-6 but I got permission to just do one for all elementary and to use Facebook live. I think it worked better for me with demonstrating (not that I was flawless) than Zoom would have. Why did I ask for one session? Well, besides that I had scheduled Zoom sessions with my middle and high school classes on the same day, I knew that I could present the same ideas and tell how younger and older kids could participate. I also know that with my own children, if the older kid is doing an activity, the younger kids want to do the same thing. All in all, it worked out pretty well. Here are the themes I used for each week: Week 1: Color In the first week I talked about primary and secondary colors and how to mix them then we made a found object color wheel for the #colorwheelchallenge! Does anyone else have trouble when downloading images from the Canva app? Sometimes I have to do a screenshot to avoid distortions like in the graphic above. Week 2: The Creatrilogy Peter H. Reynolds gave permission for teachers to read his books to our classes and since I'm a big fan, I read The Dot, Ish, and Sky Color from the Creatrilogy box set. Suggested activities were... The Dot: Make dot artwork! Ish: Draw ishly- use a marker so you can't erase and embrace mistakes! Sky Color: Observe the sky and paint what you see. Maybe even observe the sky at different times of day or different days of the week. Watercolor demo. Week 3: Zoos and Aquariums Have you seen all the zoos and aquariums that were offering virtual field trips and animal talks during social distancing? I showed 4 project ideas inspired by specific zoos or aquariums- a porcupine from the Elmwood Park Zoo, a jellyfish from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium, Fiona the Hippo from the Cincinnati Zoo, and a giant panda from the Smithsonian National Zoo. Check it out! Week 4: Earth Week Goldsworthy-inspired nature artwork, Patrick Dougherty-inspired stick art, nature faces, nature fairies, and stick weaving. I love nature art! Here is the doc with the activities I suggested. Feel free to make a copy so you can edit! Week 5: Fauvism I thought of Matisse's Open Window as soon as I knew we would be working from home. I wanted to talk to students about looking around them and how we all see different things out their windows. I said they could draw from observation what they see out their window or even what they would like to see! I went ahead and threw in some more art history and talked about setting up a colorful still life to observe. Here is the doc I shared! Week 6: Art Outside This was my worst week! I paid attention to the temperature in the forecast but not the wind speed. And I live in Kansas! I tried to show using toys to draw shadows and doing texture rubbings but it was so windy that after 5 or 10 minutes I told the students watching it was a good thing they already knew I wasn't perfect and gave up. Week 7: 2D and 3D I couldn't really decide what to do for the last week so I asked on my facebook page what the students wanted. A first grader told her mom it would be "life changing" (LOL) if I would show how to draw 3D shapes since they were doing that in 1st grade math. We talked about the differences between 2D shapes and 3D forms (in art we have more specific vocabulary) and then I showed how to draw cubes, cylinders, and cones. I ended by showing how to do 1 point perspective letters since that is usually a hit with upper elementary students.

This project is relatively simple and takes learning about lines into the third dimension. I posted about this project back in 2013 and it was one of my most popular blog posts. I usually do a line painting project with the kindergartners. This is a great way to learn about types of lines, practice painting with a paintbrush and develop all those great fine motor skills you want the little ones to learn such as gluing and coloring. 1.

Hi! I shared earlier this week that all of my students, kindergarten through fourth would be doing line-making stations for 2, 30 minute art classes as an introduction for some and a review for most. I created a short video to walk them through each station and you can check it out here to see what we were up to: On my Instagram, I got some questions about where I got the line spinner and the other resources I used...I made them! And it was so easy, I thought I'd show you how I did it in case you are interested. So here's the how-to video: I've already decided what each grade level will do with their collection of line-making papers and I'll share soon. In the meantime, I'm already thinking of ways to expand on this idea of stations. The kids are loving it and it really helps with the wiggles. We have the need to move and this helps. Although a balance of calm days will definitely be sprinkled into the mix! Because my students do stations in PE, this concept was something they easily understood. Honestly, the only thing holding me back on doing this sooner was...me! I'm not great with change but this year, I am excited to try all sorts of new things. It's helping me get outta of my burnout that I was experiencing since 2020. I think that's one of the reasons I slowed down so much on blogging this last year: I just felt stale. I'm feeling excited now...and I think the kids are too. Anyway, I just wanted to share how we created these centers in case you are interested. I hope you have a relaxing weekend!

Y'all....I'm so proud of these 5th graders! They're my first class of the day, and have been a joy to have in the morning. These past few weeks, we've been working on a project that I haven't tried in a few years, but I'm glad we visited it again! Thanks for the idea Mrs. Rogers! The students take their name, or name of choice, write it once and trace it 7 more times to create this neat and unique work of art! Here's how we created ours! Materials: Pencils Sharpies Crayola Markers or colored pencils 9x9" 50 or 60lb paper Day 1: I show examples of other 5th graders' work, and then I demonstrate how to make block and bubble letters. I used the leftover scraps from cutting their squares for them to practice making block letters on. After we practice, we fold our paper in half 4 times, and write our name in one of the triangle sections of the paper, and trace with a Sharpie. I then fold my paper, and trace my name on the next triangle. I trace that with a Sharpie, and I continue tracing and folding my paper different ways, until I get back to the original name. Once I get all of that traced with a Sharpie, I'm ready to color! Color each section at a time, using the same color to unify that layer. Keep coloring until yours looks like these amazing artists! (This took 2 45 minute art classes to complete) Here are some great works in progress! DISCLOSURE: LINKS TO PRODUCTS ARE AFFILIATE LINKS, WHICH MEANS I GET A SMALL COMPENSATION FOR SALES.
