You can also click on “ART INSTRUCTION VIDEOS” in the drop down menu listed above at the top of my page.😀 That will take you to my videos page on this website!

Two out of five of my 3rd grade classes finished up their winter mugs today in art!! —(3B and 3S at Amvet)

This lesson incorporates 5 of the 7 Elements of Art- (line, shape, color, texture, and form), as well as perspective, and one of the Principles of Art “variety”!

Read below for more info. on how we created these beauties!!

AWESOME JOB EVERYONE!!! 😀 They will ALL be going up on the wall SOON!!

This was a 4 day art lesson. Day 1 Students drew 2 different patterns on 9×12” heavy weight tagboard in pencil. A line was created to divide the patterns and create a wall and a table.

They then either traced over their lines or colored in shapes with oil pastels.

On a smaller sheet (9” x 4.5” ) of heavy weight tagboard, they created patterns and designs for their mug and traced with oil pastels.

Day 2- students finished coloring with oil pastels

Day 3- students painted their 2 papers with watercolors, creating an oil pastel resist. They also painted a small piece of tag (3” x 4.5”) for their mug’s handle.

Day 4- Students assembled their pieces together! They first flipped the mug paper over and folded back the ends, creating 2 flaps. Then they glued the flaps down to their background papers as they curved their mug paper creating a three-dimensional mug. They drew the handles by drawing the letter C on the back of the painted 3” x 4.5” papers, cut the C shape out and glued into place. The final touch was adding a small amount of polyester batting to the mug for steam!!

All You Need Is Love!—Mixed media hearts by my Special Education classes!

February 7, 2018 No Comments

My students in my special education classes created these AMAZING mixed media hearts for their Square 1 Art papers!!

I LOVE how they came out!!

This took 2- 40 minute art classes to create with a little left over time each class.

First, students traced a heart on 80# paper, then glued pieces of pre-cut tissue paper with watered down white school glue, overlapping any of the following color combos-red, pink, purple, yellow, and orange.

On their Square 1 sheet, they then traced their heart again and drew lines with oil pastels in whatever colors they wanted coming out from the heart, then painted over their lines with watercolor paint creating a resist.

Once dry, on day 2- the hearts were cut out, glued in place on the Square 1 sheet, and either red or pink oil pastel was added around the rim of their cut hearts!! ❤️❤️❤️

Mondrian inspired artwork -1st Grade

This fun art lesson also connects to math! While revisiting what the primary colors are, first graders also learn about the life and artwork of Piet Mondrian, continue to learn about various lines (horizontal and vertical) and learn about geometric shapes while creating their artwork.

After reviewing the artwork and life of Piet Mondrian, students created their own Mondrian inspired creations!

On day 1- Students first stamped black lines on 12×18″ white paper using a cut piece of cardboard that had been dipped into black tempera paint. We reviewed horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. We discussed how the stamped lines had to connect and touch each other in order to create a shape- rectangles, squares, triangles etc.

On day 2- Students then carefully colored in a chosen selection of shapes with primary colors, (using markers), leaving some shapes white.

Learning Goals:

-Learn about the artist Piet Mondrian and his artwork

-Be able to identify primary colors, and use them in their art

-Be able to identify and create horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines within artwork

-Be able to Identify and create shapes within artwork

-Understand that shapes are lines that connect

WINTER SHEEP BY MY SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES

On day 1- Students painted snow and snowflakes with white tempera paint on construction paper, then sponged on grey clouds. They then painted some bubble wrap with white acrylic paint.

On day 2- Students glued on strips of black construction paper for the sheep’s legs, brown strips for the fence, glued on the cut out sheep, then added google eyes!

These turned out so adorable! Thank you blps_art (via Instagram)!
