Det er altid et hit, når man skal tage kørekort til symaskinen. Før man skal i gang med symaskinen, er det vigtigt at gennemgå maskinen for eleverne. Det er vigtigt, at de forstår, at symaskinen ikke er et legetøj, og at man skal være opmærksom på nål og pedal hele tiden. Foden skal først ramme pedalen, når man skal sy. Jeg plejer at starte ud med eleverne skal se, hvordan man pakker en symaskine frem. Vi gennemgår hvad delene på maskinen hedder, hvad skal man være opmærksom på og hvordan indstiller man den til at sy ligeud og zigzag og at indstille stinglængden. Derefter skal eleverne gennemgå 8 prøver. De første 4 prøver er uden tråd - de sidste 4 er med tråd. Eleverne skal have godkendt arket enkeltvist med et flueben i øverste højre hjørne. Derefter må de gå videre til det næste ark. TIP: På tavlen gør jeg altid klar til en hjælpeliste, men med 2 kolonner: "Hjælp" og "Jeg skal lære at tråde symaskinen". Når der er 2-4 elever klar til at lære at tråde symaskinen, samler jeg dem og de får en grundig gennemgang af at lave undertråd og i at tråde symaskinen. Når eleverne er gennem alle 9 syprøver skal jeg forbi eleven og se dem tråde symaskinen og de skal navngive delene for mig - derefter får de deres kørekort - udfyld og udleveret. Herefter er eleverne klar til deres første syopgave - Risposen Syprøver og kørekort klar til print: https://www.bubbleminds.dk/produkt/symaskinekoerekort-2/ Rigtig god fornøjelse!

Beskrivelse af idéen: Se en generel introduktion til arbejdet med monstre i billedkunst her: http://linefroeslev.blogspot.dk/2016/08/mal-et-monster-monsterfed-billedkunst.html Idéen her opstod, da jeg en dag kom forbi kassen med træaffald i mit lokale byggemarked. De små træstumper nærmest lå og kaldte på at blive taget med hjem og få nyt liv. At det lige blev monstre der kom ud af det, skyldes at jeg havde set street artkunstneren Bortusk Leers seje små træklodsmonstre og fik lyst til at bygge videre på den idé. I Hinnerup Billedskole fejrer vi her i efteråret 10 års fødselsdag, så temaet på alle hold er TI. Skulpturopgaven her kom derfor til at lyde: Byg et monster af 10 træklodser. Du må hverken bruge mere eller mindre. Og eleverne jublede. De syntes det var den skønneste opgave! Idéen taler i lige så høj grad til drenge som til piger. Her arbejdes med skulptur i sammenføjet form, og skildringsformen tager udgangspunkt i elevernes fantasi og forestilling. Tak til Byg og Mal i Søften for alle stumperne! Sådan kan du gøre: Sav byggemarkedets ( eller håndværk og design-lokalets) træstumper op i mindre stykker. Lav gerne nogle med skæve vinkler. De større børn kan save selv. Jeg fik min kære husbond til at save mine klodser ud. Vis eleverne billeder af Bortusk Leers streetmonster-klodsmonstre http://www.vault17.com/bortuskleer/ Gå på jagt i klodskassen og find stumper, som vækker dit monster til live. Slib de valgte klodser let med sandpapir. Lim dit monster sammen med limpistol. Mal dit monster med god akrylmaling. Her har vi brugt tavlemaling, som findes i nogle superflotte farver og har en lækker silkemat overflade. Klip øjne, munde og tænder i mosgummi og lim det på med limstift. Tag et gruppe billede af monsterflokken og gå bagefter ud og sæt dem op i byrummet og fotografer dem der. Det er street art i børnehøjde! Mine billedskoleelevers klodsmonstre... ... Og mine CFU-kursisters klodsmonstre. Billederne er taget på mit kursus "Boost din billedkunst 3" på CFU i Aalborg.

So li'l Sid got lots and lots of little toys during my baby shower... absolutely adorable ones... but you know me.... till I haven't made one my very self.... its just no fun!!! So since i had lots of left over felt and wool from all my previous projects I decided to out them to use. What inspired me during this little DIY project of mine.... was that while browsing for baby stuff on Pinterest I found these madly adorable and grumpy looking monsters... my favorites! A great tutorial.... Doesn't link to the original... but to Craftgawker which has several more mini felt creatures!! I was sold!!! No cutsie adorably namby pamby teddies for my kid....My kid is gonna grow up like Boo from Monsters Inc. Kickass!!! So here is my version of making some fun Monsters!!! This is really small ... like just about three or four inches in height..... much more fun! I know I know I should have used a gray thread.... I was just feeling lazy to go get it!!!! The following is my tutorial in a tutorial - The blanket stitch!!! Take the needle thru the felt.... Pull it thru the loop.... And ta-da!!! You can cut the cotton in this fancy shape but once its in its all smashed up together anyways... so don't bother!!!! Make this stitch nice and good.... so that no cotton comes out.. Done ;) Once you make one.... you'll get addicted.... they are fast and easy and oh so cute!!! Wait did I say cute? No No .... menacing and scary and frightening is what I meant...... right?!!! Nah!!!!! (They are cute!!!!) ps: I have linked this post on two link parties: one is at whipperberry and the other as part of the weekly story at colorsdekor

Let's weave some cute little houses! Here is a project I'm currently doing with my second grade students and they are loving. I will say, I have VERY small second grade classes that make helping these new weavers easy. If I had larger classes with little weaving experience, this would be perfect for fourth grade. But my second graders have been weaving since first and had experience with this lesson. Supplies we used: * 6" X 7" cardboard * 72" warping yarn (easy! Hold the end of the yarn between your fingers. Wrap from your fingers around your elbow three times and BOOM! you have the right amount...here, watch this: * Yarn monsters for weaving * 6" Plastic needles * Small folded paper for a 'hotdog bun' Here is a wee video that I created for my students and YOU! My apologies for the audio about half way through. I'll try to fix but until then...feel free to share in your art teacherin' world: I can't wait to share with you my students' finished weavings. Until then, have fun! If you need more weaving ideas, try searching my playlist titled Fibers on my YouTube channel. Have fun!

It can be daunting to find a use for old plastic water bottles. Instead of just throwing them in the ocean, bring the ocean to you with this Water Bottle Fish Craft. This recycled craft for kids is easy in both set up and clean up, and your kids will really enjoy making their own fish designs. Make the entire cast of Finding Nemo or the creatures under the sea from The Little Mermaid. This fish craft idea will be so cute dangling from the ceiling during an ocean unit in a classroom.

We had a great time at Peanut's 2nd birthday party and I'll be sorting through the 200 pictures I took (half of which are blurs of children running by) to show you the party. The MONSTER CUPCAKES turned out great as well. It wasn't enough that the party is a Halloween costume party. We decided that we were going to run a monster theme through the party as well. I'll be totally honest with you. We decided this year's theme before Peanut's first birthday party. I think originally I was looking at Ugly Dolls and decided I could make them myself. You see, this picture was taken August 12, 2011. 2011. We were going to do monsters for his first birthday so I started drawing out some monster shapes. My dad cut out all the monster shapes on various pieces of felt I purchased. The day after he finished cutting them all out, my mom suggested that we do pumpkins instead. It was going to be faster to sew a bunch of pumpkins for Peanut's Pumpkin Patch and let the kids take one home as a favor so we went with that idea. Meanwhile, I got this one monster's face finished and packed it all away. My mom reminded me that I would have the entire year to finish the monsters! A whole year to work on this project so that I wouldn't be rushed. And then life happened. And then it was 3 weeks until the party and I procrastinated some more. And then it was 2 weeks before the party. Even though my mom reminded me weekly for months. And then we spent 2 weeks feverishly sewing up monsters. I did all the faces and mom helped me stitch and stuff. The result was 22 completely individual monsters! To be completely honest I had a lot of fun doing these. I tend to get hung up on the details and I could have worked on these forever. The hand stitching around the edge was a bit tedious at first because you can only do so many in a sitting but my mom was powering right through them. I got these awesome Monster Adoption Certificates on Etsy (Here) so all the kids could pick out there new monster and fill out their certificate. I've been told that some of them are taking their adoption very seriously. One little girl was overheard whispering to her monster that she'll be taking good care of him. Of course, one little boy was seen using his monster to play zombie and eat the other stuffed animals. I hope his monster is carnivorous.... and well stitched. We displayed the monsters on a table for the kids to pick from. So here are the details. We used felt from the fabric store (not the crafters felt you buy in squares) and after buying some for super cheap from Joann's, I'm realizing my original stuff is much softer. Anyhow, I used a standard size piece of paper and folded it in half (going either direction) to draw half a monster with the fold in the middle. Remember doing hearts like that in school? It's a monster so it doesn't really have to be symmetrical but I like them that way. I cut the paper monster out and my dad used it as a template on the felt. You can draw it directly onto the felt, just make sure you turn them so the marked part will be sewed onto the inside. He cut 2 pieces of felt at a time to make sure that the front and back were even. I then started to make the faces. For the eyes I traced a water bottle cap and gift tag for different sizes, hot glued them on, leaving a space of no glue in the center so I could sew on a black button. The mouths are sewn with embroidery floss (same as the button) and the teeth were made from the scrap pieces left when cutting out circles. Some of the monsters have additional felt pieces like a mustache or lone eyebrow that are adhered with hot glue. The possibilities are endless! Just think about all the cute things you could do! They were sealed up by hand stitching them along the edge with a running stitch, that looks like dashes, or a whip stitch that loops around the edge. They are stuffed with basic polyester stuffing. It went pretty smoothly. I found that the dark material needs to have a light background for the face as the black doesn't stand out and that some extremities are hard to stuff without the aid of a chopstick. I think you have to do these things to learn the easiest way. I will definitely be doing more of these types of projects. I'm thinking maybe some Christmas plushies next. Stay tuned for a post on Monster cupcakes and more on the party!

A few weeks ago, several folks asked me for more information about teaching stitchery to kids. Finally I am getting around to posting that information. This photo is of my granddaughter when she was four and a half. She is stitching a little foam purse that I bought at the craft store. It has pre-punched holes and you just stitch from hole to hole. She was fully engaged doing this. At school the kids use burlap and the fat plastic needles. Normally we tape the edges of the burlap so they do not unravel. You can see in the pieces that are not taped what a mess the edges become. I'm still experimenting with teaching preschool stitchery. Usually I give them a small piece of burlap and let them experiment with the running stitch. If anyone has any suggestions for preschool stitchery, please pass them along! Kindergarten stitchery involves the running stitch and following a line. If I had a 5 year old alone, I'd teach threading and knotting. Teaching these en masse was a slow trudge with frustration and tears. (After a few of those experiences I got my fifth graders to thread and knot hundreds of needles in preparation for kindergarten.) The students draw on the cloth and use a running stitch around the sides of the cloth and the outline of their drawing. The year they were studying insects, I had kids trace a butterfly shape. They were observing the hatching of chicks the year they drew and stitched chicks. First graders are studying plants during stitchery time, so they draw and stitch flowers. First graders try to perfect the running stitch and add on the threaded and double threaded running stitch. Sometimes I have them color their designs with non-toxic markers. Second graders study animals during stitchery time. They continue with the running stitch and its variations plus add the couching stitch. I do not have images of third grade stitchery, as usually I have them weaving. When we do have time for stitchery, they learn the running stitch, couching stitch, cross stitch, satin stitch. They can often master any other stitch I introduce to them. Fourth grade students paint designs on their burlap with tempera paint. I prefer the liquid tempera, but we have used block tempera as well. I haven't tried watercolor, but I would guess it would be fine. I have lots of samples of stitches out for this age, and they are game to try any of them. These are the most used: running stitch and threaded running stitch, cross stitch and double cross stitch, couching stitch, chain stitch, french knot, satin stitch, and back stitch. Once the kids get the painted (or drawn ) images on the cloth, they are motivated to stitch for hours on end. I love teaching elementary stitchery. They seem to find great satisfaction in using their hands and creativity in a way they are not used to.

What a Fun Project! Most of my 4th grade students just finished a very fun weaving project. After learning or reviewing the basics of weaving by doing a paper weaving, students learned how to weave in a circle. Our choice of loom - discarded CD, DVD, and CDROM discs. I had seen examples of these on Pinterest this past summer and couldn't wait to try it out. So I put out the word to staff and students in my three schools that we needed old discs to use for a project. I had quite a few staff members looking through their old music collections and gladly parting with many. They quietly turned over their Jackson Five, New Kids on the Block, and Flashdance Soundtracks. Before long I had plenty of discs to add to my old AOL discs I had saved for that project down the road. (Art teachers are savers if you didn't know!) I went back to my Pinterest board where I had pinned the idea months ago. It led me to a great tutorial from Joanne at We Heart Art. Check out her tutorial before you give it a try! I pulled some yarn together and set to making one myself. Listen to a veteran art teacher - Never do a project without first trying it yourself!! You're just asking for a disaster if you don't. Yes this is from experience! I had a blast making my example. This project took 3-4 art times depending on the class (I did it with 5 different classes) and their abilities. As I figured it took most classes one whole time to watch me demonstrate how to warp the disc and for them to actually do this. I encouraged them to partner up to help each other with tying the knots. Of course I ended up plopping myself down at a table with a long line of students needing help getting the warp string tied tight. After that first day the rest was easy! Once students got the hang of the weaving it went quickly. Students finishing early help reteach others how to do it. Great for team building! I loved the way I had seen the finished weavings hanging all together so that is what I intended for displaying these. I've finished putting up the weaving display at one school but still need to do this at the other two. Small colorful paperclips were what I used to link the discs together. I'm very impressed with how they look and have gotten quite a few compliments!

Smid aldrig dine gamle strømper ud!!! Se hvad de kan blive til. Det er ren metaformose. Skulpturerne her er lavet af pigerne på mit ældste billedskolehold. Sådan kan du gøre: Bor 4 små huller i en træklods (ca. 7 cm. høj og 12 cm. bred) Klip 2 stykker bonsaitråd (ca. 50 cm.), og stik enderne i hullerne i træklodsen. Form tråden, så den danner en interessant form Træk en nylonstrømpe ud over både ståltråd og klods (afklippede strømpebukser fungerer fint). Strømpen skal være ret stram. Form igen og hold øje med, at figuren er interessant fra alle vinkler. Hvilke historier fortæller skulpturen? Bliver den til et fabeldyr, et hoved, viser den bevægelse, er den åben eller lukket...? Når figuren er som du vil have den, fæstnes nylonstrømpen med et stykke gaffa eller en klips i bunden Nu males hele figuren med latexgrunder Når figures er tør, dekoreres den med akrylmaling. Jeg viste mine elever billeder af Nikki de Saint Phalle´s farverige skulpturer som inspiration. Vi brugte både sorte sprittuscher + Poschatuscher (på den tørre malig) til at trække konturstreger op med og til detaljer
