You are always welcome to substitute art materials for any given project with supplies you have available to you at home. Mr. Giannetto's email is [email protected] Please follow me on Facebook: Young School Art with Mr. Giannetto and Instagram @youngschoolartwithmr.g. Ms. Hyland's Art Class October 26th-30th Monday:I will see all students who are attending school for in-person art class. We will make a torn paper project together in class. Wednesday: All student Google Meet with Mr.G for virtual art class. This is our only time we will have a Google Meet this week. We will start the torn paper owl project below. I will demonstrate the project step-by-step. Please review the materials needed and have them ready for our Google Meet. You are welcome to substitute supplies with what you have available at home. Everyday this week: Feel free to visit our Google Art Classroom, view the art assignment, and click the link to travel here to my art website and work independently on this torn paper owl project. I will also include additional, optional art activities below. Scroll down and find Additional Art Activities for Remote Learners. Art Lesson: Torn Paper Owlets Materials: construction paper (choose any colors you wish and have available at home), scissors, markers, glue stick Five Owl Facts for Kids 1. A baby owl is called an owlet. 2. There are over 200 different kinds of owls. They are different colors and different sizes. 3. Owls have large eyes and a flat face. 4. Owls are active at night. They are nocturnal. 5. Owls eat bugs, small animals, birds, and/or fish. Step by Step Directions: 1. Draw the Owlet Draw a large oval for the owl's body. Draw two triangles for ears at the top of the oval. Finally, draw two wings. 2. Rip the Paper Pick a color you would like to use for the owl's feathers. Cut the paper into strips. Make small snips down the length of the strip. Rip the paper into pieces. Glue the pieces to the drawing to create feathers on the owl. Try to cover the whole owl. Remember to pat down the pieces so that the owl doesn't lose its feathers! 3. Add Details Cut out a diamond shape and fold it in half to make an open beak. Cut out small strips of paper for the legs and toes. Trace a cup onto paper and cut out the two circles for eyes. Use a marker to draw the pupils. Glue on all of the pieces. If you wish you may use a marker to draw the owl details instead of cutting and gluing due to time constraints. Extend this Art Activity - Optional Teach your family the owl movements you learned with Mr. G in the Google Meet. Recall the 5 Owl Facts for Kids. Draw food for your owl to eat. Make a mom or dad owl to go along with the owlet. Additional Art Activities for Remote Learners STEAM Learning - Build a City STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) exploration boosts the development of critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, hands-on learning, and creative thinking. What types of buildings will be in your city? Maybe a skyscraper and a car garage? How many floors will your building have? How tall will your building stand? Is your building sturdy and strong? Challenge: Build a city using materials you can find in your home. One building needs to be able to hold the weight of a small toy figure or toy car. Materials: Use what you have around the house such as blocks, books, paper cups, styrofoam, tooth picks, k cups, index cards, cardboard, coasters, and more. Use small toy figures or toy cars to complete the challenge. Step 1: Gather your building supplies and small toys. Find a flat surface to build on such as a kitchen floor, table, or big books. Step 2: Begin to build by placing 4 foundation pieces at the bottom and put a piece of paper, cardboard or other flat material on top to create the floor. Experiment with other building techniques as you go. Step 3: Keep stacking higher and higher! Oh no! My building fell! That’s okay! Try again! Step 4: Add small toy figures to your building. Yikes! The building collapsed! That’s okay! Learn as you go! Is there a stronger material you can use to support the toy? Step 5: Play with your city. Step 6: Put back all of the building supplies where they belong. Talk About Art Were you successful at building a city? What was the most challenging part? What type of materials were the easiest to build with? Which building was strong enough to hold the weight of your small toy? Make a Paper Owl Step 1:Cut out a circle. Step 2: Fold in the right and left sides of the circle to make the owl's wings. Step 3: Fold down the top of the circle to make the owl's head. Step 4: Cut out a variety of details such as eyes, a beak, feet, and feathers. Glue all of the pieces onto the owl. Art Challenge: Teach a family member how to make the paper owl.
