I LOVE BOOKS!!! Yes, the paper kind.. I'm a little anti-digital when it comes to the printed word! I also love using them in the music room; they are a perfect vehicle to teach, review, sing, create, and play around with! Here are a few favorites; each one of these is a picture file you can download, print, and use! *A note about organization; begin to make an excel spreadsheet or word doc that includes grade levels you would use the book with, what skills/concepts can be taught, and when you might use this during the year; for example, when I introduce rests with kindergarten students in the spring after experiencing it, now we're ready to label it, I will put in my Kindergarten sheet, "Wide Mouthed Frog", SPRING, quarter notes, eighth notes, rest, LABEL rest, song, rhythm, Orff instruments. This helps me to keep track of not only what concepts/skills I can work on using that book, but when I might want to use it! Also, print a copy of the lesson, fold it and place it into the front page of the book! Sorry the Mitten in the Snow visual organization page is out of place.. couldn't move it and it's late.. :)

Why Art Scouts was good for my SOUL? You see, at this stage in my life it is about who you are and where you want to go from this very spot. (Age 47) I want to continue to grow professionally and personally. This trip allowed me to do just that with new art friends to connect with, crazy memories with my sister and new art ideas and techniques to share with others to help their successes. We have had lots of "life" hit us over the past few years and I know making art helps us heal and deal.

As a child I really loved Alexander Calder's sculptures. Whimsical and colorful, they let me see that art can be fun too! Today I'm sharing a really simple paper sculpture project inspired by Calder's large scale metal ones. They take only minutes to whip up and certainly would also make for fun scissor practice with younger kids as well! Kids Calder-Inspired Art Sculptures This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support! In case you're looking for some great art books to go along with this activity, here are...

Calder-Inspired Paper Sculptures from Pink Stripey Socks on Vimeo. But in case you like to read directions, here they are! 1. Cut out a rectangular piece of paper. I used construction paper, which stood up fine at home, but fell down with any bit of wind. If you want to make these sturdier, use cardstock (Optional: Decorate it with markers!) 2. Fold it in half. 3. Make cuts like pictured. Cut lines and curves until they almost reach the fold. 4. Optional, decorate with groovy circle stickerrs. 5. Open it up and fold the strips to the front or back in an alternating fashion. (This will help the sculpture to balance.) So on the left side you would fold the strips (starting from the top) front, back, front, back, and front. And on the right side you would fold the strips (starting from the top) back, front, back, front, and back. Once you get the basic design down, you can play around with your cutting ... like I did below! It's really neat seeing all of these guys standing up! They're kinda addictive to make... and I hope you try making them with your kids too! If you liked this paper art project, you'll like these other ideas as well!
