Hello Everyone! It is so nice to have time to put some finishing touches on a couple of units that we have coming up! Another historical figure we will study after Eleanor Roosevelt is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As a nation we celebrate his life daily! Thank you Dr. King! Officially we celebrate on the third Monday of January. I have posted about our activities before, but I went through and cleaned up, and added to my unit. Here are some pics from the updated unit! If you would like the 30 page free printable unit CLICK HERE!! :) My second offering for today is a unit our curriculum team worked on this summer. We had fun integrating reading and social studies and are finding it a natural way to teach and get everything in. This next unit is about other important historical figures. It includes posters about Alexander Graham Bell, Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, Garrett Morgan, and Richard Allen along with reading strategy practice activities. It also includes an invention home project packet for kids. The unit ended up to be over 50 pages! I am excited to include this unit in our curriculum in a few weeks!! Here are a few pics from the unit! For your free 52 page Inventors Unit CLICK HERE!! :) So glad I had time to share these endeavors! Hope you can use at least parts of either one! It is my joy to be able to share and help your journey in the classroom or homefront become a little less stressful. As always, please let me know if this is something you can use, if there are any typos or problems, and if you would like to see something else in particular on this little blog. I hear from teachers and parents from all over the world, and I am so grateful for all of you!! Joyfully! Nancy

We began today by using our imaginations to expand on an image. Then we explored Romare Bearden's style of collage using magazine cuttings to make a frame focusing on colors and then a person focusing on human features to go inside of the frame.

I have been active the past month in the role as an arts educator visiting grade five classes in a couple of elementary school classrooms here in the city of Thunder Bay. This is through the Community Arts and Heritage Education Project or CAHEP. I have been actively getting placements in schools through this program since 2006. This year the learners have been given the opportunity to learn relief block printmaking. Not only do they get to try a brand new visual arts technique but learn about the principles of design and explore colour theory in the process. This years theme for the program is Thinking Outside the Box. Here is the Project Overview for the second and most recent venture: Project Title: Construction This project uses relief block printmaking as the basis for the creation of hand printed imagery that utilizes several stages of process from start to finish. Learners were given the opportunity to use two surfaces to create a two colour print on paper. One surface was left solid and the second surface was carved into using special cutting blades to produce a relief design. Prints were produced by using careful registration of paper and application of ink to both sides of a block in two separate printing sessions. To begin, the learners were encouraged to think about and share dialogue revolving around the concept of the word structure. Using photo reference they focused on a particular section of either a manmade or nature made structure. They enlarged the chosen area and proceeded to develop it and construct a colour print that would allow it to be viewed in an entirely different way. This is where adhering to the theme of “thinking outside of the box” came into play. Learners were also challenged by utilizing the principles of design in their respective works of art. During the project they learned about such important areas such as line, shape, positive and negative space, rhythm, repetition, texture, composition, contrast to name but a few. Using linoleum cutting tools they were able to carve their images into a soft composite material (softoleum). Ink was applied to the relief surfaces using brayers and prints were made in two colour combinations on paper using traditional hand printing methods. An emphasis was made on using complementary and split complementary colour combinations in the prints that would allow for real contrasts and impact in the images. The students printed a solid colour square first and then the cut side of the block with their design was printed over top in a contrasting colour. Materials used: Softoleum blocks, linocutting tools, water based printing inks, soft rubber brayers, registration boards, subi printmaking paper, rubbing sticks, spray adhesive, white foamcore board panels, spray adhesive Individual panels contain 6 prints are stacked vertically with an overall measurement 25.4 cm (10 inches) in width by 101.6 cm (40 inches in height). Each image explores the concept of structure in two colours. The finished results have been very good. I have put together a display module where an equal number of prints (6) are affixed to a foamboard panel in a vertical format. Four of the panels will be hinged together into a four sided column and set on a table to allow for 360 degree viewing. The results of these sessions will be presented to the public in a day in Feb. at a Community based Arts Fiesta held annually in our local auditorium. Then the works will continue as a display in a public space such as an art gallery or other public accesible space for a longer duration through the month of March. Below are some photos that were taken during different stages of the projects. cutting the softoleum using linocutters reference for the drawing on the block is from a colour rough sketch water based Speedball inks applied to the block using a rubber brayer that was rolled out onto brayer from plate glass surface registration of block on simple cardboard with foamboard strip taped on top. The paper is held in place with push pins and the paper is set over the inked block and burnished using a plastic rubbing stick using constant pressure in a circular motion. back to back prints hung to dry on a clothes line. One of several stations set up for application of different colours of inks to the blocks. zig zag design - orange printed over top of a solid violet square detail from square print panel - spiral shell design printed in green over red (complementary colours) another detail from a print panel spider web study - yellow over top of a solid red square four panels each with six prints that will be hinged together to create a four sided column display Each print is 14 x 14.6 cm (5.5 x 5.75 inches) and there are a total of 24 prints in total. .
Casper the Friendly Ghost is a fictional ghost character created in Jam Handy’s “Down The Gasoline Trail” (1936) H Oh Wow Unlike other ghosts, he has no interest in scaring people. Instead, he tries to befriend every person and animal that he meets. Unfortunately for Casper, most other characters that he encounters run away in terror as soon as they see him. Casper made his first animated cartoon appearance in 1945 and went on to star in several series of theatrical and television cartoons and a
