Inspiring creativity throughout the home

This project is inspired by the work of the famous artist Jasper Johns... Title: 0-9 Date created: 1961 I found these number stencils at Scrap RVA in Richmond, Virginia. Scrap RVA is an arts and craft recycle store...and it is awesome! I teach Scrappy Creatures and Japanese Stab Binding at Scrap RVA. If you are ever in the Richmond area you must add it to your do-to-list. You can buy a set of these graphic number stencils on Amazon, just click on the link below... You will also need a circle tracer as well. I got this one at Michaels with my weekly 40% off coupon. You can get it on Amazon by clicking the link below... The paper size for this project is 12x18 90# white multi use paper by Pecon. Students pick their 3 favorite numbers to trace with a pencil. The first number should be traced right-side up. The second number is placed over the first number but this time it should be traced upside down. The third number is placed over the first 2 and can be traced in any direction the student chooses...either right-side up or upside down. Any of the 3 numbers can be traced backwards as well. Using the circle tracer add 3 different size circles overlapping the numbers somewhere on the paper. Use a fine tip Sharpie to trace over all the pencil lines. Fill in the small spaces with lines using the Sharpie. Add shading in some of the corner points with a pencil. I just have the kids smooth out the pencil lines with their fingers or you can use a blending tool. You can order blending tools on Amazon by clicking the link below ... After you have finished all the corner shading start to add your color. I let my students choose between colored pencils or water colors. I use Crayola colored pencils and a mix of Prang and Crayola watercolors in my art room. Colored Pencils Watercolor Jasper Johns painted the entire canvas for his art work tilted 0-9 I only have my students paint inside the numbers and circles but you can try it either way. Let me know what you think and please share your results if you try this project in your class room. You can email me at [email protected] Check back for new projects and ideas every Thursday.

I love having the kids do personalized work at the beginning of each school year-- and typically I start out with some sort of self-portrait. Well, 10 years of doing that for seven classes each day for a week is really mundane, so I decided to switch it up this year. With my third graders I am doing these "identity grids" and they love them! We start out with a 12"x12" sheet of paper and fold it into 16 squares. We talk about identities. The most obvious part of your identity is your name--so we write our names in "bubble letters" jumbled about through the paper. One letter per square. We then talk about other things that make us unique, that make us individuals--and brainstorm those ideas on the board (favorite holidays, foods, artists, hobbies, etc). They then draw a different symbol in each of the remaining squares. The above example is mine, but I can't wait for the kids to finish their so I can show you! They are all so colorful and unique...and I'm learning a little something new about each child! So fun!
