Krater (mid - 5th Century BC) may be viewed at the Saint Louis Art Museum. Left, Teacher sample drawing of Greek pottery. Right, A second sample of the assignment using a portrait design typically found on Greek pottery. Type of Lesson Plan: Object-based Lesson Plan/Reading Comprehension (Integrated Studies) Topic: Greek/Roman pottery design Goals: Students identify design and pattern common to ancient Greek pottery. Students participate in meaningful drawing activities that reflect their willingness to communicate art concepts they have learned through observation. Students actively participate in larger classroom discussions involving art aesthetics. Objectives: Students will be able to identify the general characteristics of Greek designs in pottery when asked questions and shown slides/pictures. Students will be able to produce a contour drawing of a Greek inspired pot. Missouri Show-Me Standards: FA 2, FA 1, FA 3 GLE’s: Strand I: Product/Performance – Communicate ideas about subject matter and themes in artworks created for various purposes C. Grade 6 – Create an original artwork that communicates ideas about the following theme Functions of Art in Culture Personal Identity Strand II: Elements and Principles – Select and use elements of art for their effect in communicating ideas through artwork A. Grade 6 – Identify and use converging lines and Identify and use contour lines to define a complex object A. Grade 7 – Identify and use rhythmic lines A. Grade 8 – Identify and use varied line quality Strand III: Artistic Perceptions – Investigate the nature of art and discuss responses to artworks A. Grade 6 – Discuss how different cultures have different concepts of beauty and explain how responses to artworks from various cultures are based on both personal experience and group beliefs Grade Level Targeted: Middle School (7-9) Number of Class Periods: two, 55 minute class periods Facility & Equipment Requirements: Classroom A computer for the slide show Resources needed for teaching lesson: Power point/slide show for Greek Pottery Teacher’s sample of the art project Materials Per Student: A selection of black, gold, and orange construction paper Large and fine tip black markers White glue Large stencils of Greek vessels Vocabulary Terms: The following terms are applicable to identifying the designs found in Greek pottery. Because this particular lesson plan emphasizes Greek design found on pottery, the vocabulary normally associated with clay pottery assignments is not included. This art activity included for this lesson is 2-dimensional. wheel made pottery - is thrown by hand on a potter's wheel that could be either manually or electrically powered. coil pot - is built with a series of layered rolls of clay built up to create a hollow form mold-made pottery - These pots are made by one of two methods: A potter may ''cast'' a molded pot by pouring a liquid clay into a ceramic mold. A potter may form by hand a slab of clay by shaping it around or inside of a stone mold (sometimes called a "Bat") constructed specifically for this purpose. Hydria shaped pot - was used for storing water Krater shaped pot - was used for mixing wine and water Amphora shaped pot - was primarily used for storage Greek key ornament – A geometrical ornament consisting of horizontal and vertical lines joined together at angles. Meander – is a decorative boarder based upon a repeated motif that has no beginning or ending to it Symmetry – in design is a formal, balanced pattern whose sides, right and left, mirror each another Step-by-step activity: First I will share a power point (slide show) with my students before actively demonstrating the following art assignment. During this presentation the students will be asked to share their reactions and I will also teach them the vocabulary terms. Students will design, draw, and cut one paper stencil of either a Hydria, a Krater, or an Amphora shaped pot. (additional stencil samples here) Then they will trace around this stencil on top of a large sized piece of black construction paper with a white colored pencil. Carefully, they will cut the shape out of the center of this black paper leaving behind a replica of their design when the black background paper is placed upon an orange or gold sheet of construction paper of the same large size. Remember, you do not want the shape to be black but the background to be black and the shape orange or gold. Carefully glue down the black paper to the orange sheet of construction paper. Then students should draw out a pattern reflecting the themes and tastes of Greek pottery in general with a black ink marker. They may choose to lightly draw their ideas out in pencil before “blacking in” the design. Cleanup Time & Strategy: Students will be allotted five minutes to dispose of trash, wipe down tables and place their artwork on drying racks. Assessment: I will be using an informal assessment and will also take notes during the completion of the projects. The grades will be posted online for the students and their parents to view at a private rubrics site hosted by their school district. Below is a list of criteria that I will be looking for while assessing the student's grades on this particular project: The student was able to cut a reasonably accurate representation of a Greek pottery prototype out of construction paper and mount it to another paper surface. The student successfully designed a Greek design inspired graphic and drew it with care onto his/her art project. If the student made alterations of his own and demonstrated his resolve to interpret the designs as his own, he is given a better grade. The student demonstrated his knowledge of the vocabulary discussed during the power point presentation by conversing actively with the instructor and his peers when asked to. The student turned their assignment in on time. All lessons copyrighted by Grimm, 2010 The above photograph is by the Saint Louis Art Museum, used by permission. This printable page of Decorative Elements Found on Greek Pottery may be printed out by teachers to share with students in their classrooms. I've included information below for each design numbered above. These descriptions may come in handy if your are thinking of adapting this lesson for older students.

Final product wise, this might just have been my FAVORITE project this past school year. I am so unbelievably proud of the work these 5th graders did on these! I found this project here via Pinterest. Thanks a faithful attempt! I Can Statements: I Can talk about stylized art I Can use the Library resource A-Z Animals Encyclopedia to research a food chain that includes 3 or more animals I Can show a food chain mouth-in-mouth using stylized images of plants and animals Day 1: Students came in with this image on the screen... I asked them to figure out what they all had in common, eventually they ended up describing stylized without even knowing it (I love when that happens!) and I revealed the vocabulary of stylized. To better explain I showed them this awesome graphic I put together in lucidpress.... After a bit more discussion we had a "quiz" where I put up an image and they had to guess stylized or realistic. They did perfect. Then I showed them our inspiration image... They just wrapped up a science unit about ecosystems and food chains so it was the perfect project to connect to the classroom. After explaining the I Cans and the how to do the research and navigate the site they were using for research, they grabbed laptops and got to work filling out the packet below. There was quite a bit of sketching involved but it really seemed to help them understand how to break down their animals and plants. Day 2: After I approved their sketches they got to work! They had an option to draw and color with colored pencil or to collage with paper. We took about 4 class periods total on this, 1 for intro and research, and the rest were workdays. Next time I will probably have them writing something to go along with them when they are displayed. I just can't contain how happy these make me!

In the 5th century BC, Greek Historian Herodotus wrote about the customs and traditions he witnessed while in Babylon. One of the more controversial customs he reports on is the Babylonian marriage market in which young women were gathered up and an “auctioneer would get each of the women to stand up one by one, and he would put her up for sale”.

I first saw this lesson at the Use Your Colored Pencils blog, and knew I would be using it someday. Thanks Anne! The supplies needed are minimal: white paper plates, tempera in blue/white/black, brushes and water. We practiced mixing shades and tints of blue for our designs. The cross-curricular opportunities range from poetry and storytelling, to the culture of China and its influence on pottery through out the world. We looked at a piece of Blue Willow china and discussed what images we saw on the plate. I then told the children about the legend which the pattern illustrates. To help remember what we saw, and to help everyone to chose elements to use in their designs, I shared the following poem: 'Two birds flying high, A Chinese vessel, sailing by. A bridge with three men, sometimes four, A willow tree, hanging o'er. A Chinese temple, there it stands, Built upon the river sands. An apple tree, with apples on, A crooked fence to end my song.' They were asked to chose one, or a few of the elements, but some did even more! The children sketched lightly in pencil first, and then began to paint. I reminded them that the border was an important part of their design as well (the ridges of the paper plate can aid them in creating simple border designs.) Great job guys! I love them all! If you might try a Blue Willow lesson, here are some great links to go with your planning: Wikipedia has an article about the Blue Willow pattern: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willow_pattern A telling of the Blue Willow legend at: http://www.thepotteries.org/patterns/willow.html New Zealand director Veialu Aila-Unsworth made a short animated film about the Blue Willow legend.

A display of kindergarten abstract masterpieces. These paintings were created at the very beginning of the year during our line and color study. We coated them with glossy Modge Podge to help the colors pop. Well, my helper moms and I can finally sleep in! The school-wide, hang-up-and-display-everything-we've-made-all-year art show is ooooo-ver. I'd like to thank the kids for their hard work, my amazing mom-helpers who put in countless hours hanging masterpieces, my former student teacher Lauren who worked for hours on the day of the show and my dear mom who drove down from Indiana to help and cheer us on. It was a huge success...one that will be hard to top next year. I thought I'd share with you the two-dimensional artwork from the art show. This is a photo-heavy post...and just the tip of the masterpiece-iceberg. Stay tuned for the upcoming episodes of In the Art Room: Clay Display and, not to be missed, our Walk Like an Egyptian program performed by our Super Second Grade Stars! But for now, sit back and enjoy these fabulous works of art. I'll provide a brief description of each. Feel free to leave a comment with any questions or thoughts below. Enjoy! These sweet kindergarten self-portraits were on display along side photos of the artist. The self-portraits were created on flesh colored construction paper with oil pastels. These were cut out and glued on top of bubble printed paper the kids had made. Hair was then painted. Finally, construction paper that we had cardboard printed was placed on top as a shirt, complete with collar and name tag. Kindergarten display of collage cats, winter landscapes, and fall printed trees. For this kindergarten winter landscape, we began by learning about tints and shades and painting the sky and snowy land. From there we collaged trees and houses. Finally we used metallic oil pastels to enhance the sky, the trees and the house. Because I have my classes for 1/2 hour, I had to think of a quicky project for my wee little ones. They were able to create this butterfly relief sculpture in just the nick of time. Egyptian collage landscapes by my first grade artists. You can read all about this lesson here. The idea of using the first grader's weaving for the body of a crocodile originally came from pinterest. But art teacher Lauren came up with the genius idea to create crocodile puppets. Here's the lesson. Love those teeth. The first graders also created these abstract collages at the beginning of the year. We did some leaf rubbing and painting. From there, we tore the painting into strips and glued them down to a larger piece of white paper. This was a great lesson on positive and negative space. In the second grade gallery, we have our circle loom weavings which we attached our Sculpey beads to, our Egyptian profile portraits, leafy prints and our golden tree paintings (not pictured). I also have the students write an Artist Autobiography every year that is placed along side a framed photo of the artist. Leafy Print Lesson can be found here. Our third grade gallery includes our sarcophagus, foil leaf reliefs, cardboard weavings and our haunted trees. Not pictured are our photos and bios. You can read more about our sarcophagus lesson here. A close up of one of the third grader's cardboard weavings. This year we tried our hand at adding beads to our weavings. We attempted to hide the cardboard with some scratch art paper designs. I hope this artist is able to find a good place for tacos while she's artin' it up in Paris! When painting our sarcophagus-es (sarcophagui? We eventually took to calling them our sarcopha-dudes), some of the early-finishers tried their hand at optical illusion drawing. This lesson was pulled from pinterest and was so simple, that I just wrote out the directions on the board and the early-finishers followed the steps. Fourth grade awesomeness: framed photos and bios, Mona Lisa group project photo (seen on the far left) Egyptian prints, cartouche, moon-light paintings, woven pouches, and Egyptian god portraits, Egyptian god portrait lesson here. The kid's all time favorite thing in the whole wide world to do: weave! Once the fourth graders get a taste of weaving, there is no turning back. I have one sweet girl who has woven 12 pouches now for her family members in Mexico. All the time and hours spent are immediately forgotten when you get a sweet note like this the following day...love it!
We're almost there folks! Just 1.5 days left until Christmas break!! The kids have actually been great, thanks to fun new projects like this one! I was scrolling through Instagram, Ahem... (I mean Collaborating with my fellow Ahht teachers) when I came across an awesome looking lesson inspired by the one and only, Cassie Stephens, and the ever so talented Art Room Britt. They had been doing the fabulous looking Jen Aranyi inspired landscapes with their classes, so naturally I had to try it with mine! Y'all....They have been turning out great, and they were so excited to try it. They loved watching the artist's time lapse videos, and we just amazed with her beautiful work! Here's how we created them! (How to draw videos are close to the end of the post, or you can click on this link) Materials: 9x12" Sax 90lb paper Crayola Artista II watercolors Big Kid's choice paintbrushes blue painter's tape pencils Fine point Sharpies Day 1: Introduce them to Jen Aranyi's work, show other 4th grade examples from Cassie Stephens' and Art Room Britt's page, and get to work! First we taped off our paper, and drew out our snowy landscape. Then we started adding details to our mountains, by adding lines! Then, we talked about how to make little trees in the background, so they look far away, and put bigger trees in the foreground to make them appear like they are larger and closer! btw, after they painted their sky, I sprinkled salt on their paint to create a neat texture. Here are some of my 4th graders, really hard at work! Stay tuned for some more awesome art! We loved this project so much, 5th is going to try it too! They'll be doing a different shape, but same concept! I made some videos this time, to show my students how to do it! I think they pay attention to me on YouTube better than actual me! Haha! Day 1: Students will tape their border, draw their mountains, and start painting their background. When I recorded this, my sky was already dry. I used liquid watercolors and salt. Here's some pics of the background. Here's a time lapse video of me drawing the trees Here's how you finish your art! “Lauren Stacey is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.”
I find myself doing different color wheel projects each year, and I think I like this one the best because it is simple and only took 3 classes. Day 1- Each student took a 9 x 12 paper and drew and "X" and a horizontal line across the middle. This allowed our paper to be divided into 6 parts. Then, students drew an image of their choice in the middle of their paper. The image had to enter all 6 parts and have detail. They went over their lines with sharpie. Day 2- After reviewing primary and secondary colors, students were introduced to analogous colors (3 colors next to each other on the color wheel) They then used oil pastels to color in their image. Each section was designated for one color (yellow, orange, red, violet, blue, and green). They had to put the colors in color order. However, they could use analogous colors in the sections. For example, the yellow section could have yellow, yellow-green, and yellow-orange. Day 3- Students learned about complementary colors (opposite on the color wheel) and water colored the background the complementary color to that section.

The return of the lego self portraits. You've probably seen these/my face floating around Pinterest (or at least I'm told by my fellow colleagues that my face is plastered on Pinterest). The original project I did last year brought some major traffic to my blog. I think part of the reason, along with the fact that legos are just awesome, was that shortly after I posted the project The Lego Movie came out and Lego Mania was upon us. This is probably one of my all time favorite lessons. We cover a lot of information and it is fun, the kids love it and all find some sort of success! The majority of this lesson is done with crayon, a few students did choose to use marker on the background. To see a more detailed description of the lesson go here. I'm amazed as to how much I can see the resemblances in some of the portraits and I can pick out which lego belongs to each student.
Here are TWO ways to complete this One Point Perspective lesson. I have seen this lesson in Instagram a couple different ways. I am not the originator of this lesson, but LOVE both methods of finishing! I prefer creating the 3D shapes and coloring with oil pastel on white or oak tagboard. It makes it much easier to cut and glue onto a background. This lesson is not just a 3D drawing lesson, but a color and value blending lesson. I asked students to practice each at least once. When we chose to do the black paper and splatters, I had students rotate around the room from table to table to use different colors. Always an impressive finish! Either way!

This project is inspired by the work of the famous artist Jasper Johns... Title: 0-9 Date created: 1961 I found these number stencils at Scrap RVA in Richmond, Virginia. Scrap RVA is an arts and craft recycle store...and it is awesome! I teach Scrappy Creatures and Japanese Stab Binding at Scrap RVA. If you are ever in the Richmond area you must add it to your do-to-list. You can buy a set of these graphic number stencils on Amazon, just click on the link below... You will also need a circle tracer as well. I got this one at Michaels with my weekly 40% off coupon. You can get it on Amazon by clicking the link below... The paper size for this project is 12x18 90# white multi use paper by Pecon. Students pick their 3 favorite numbers to trace with a pencil. The first number should be traced right-side up. The second number is placed over the first number but this time it should be traced upside down. The third number is placed over the first 2 and can be traced in any direction the student chooses...either right-side up or upside down. Any of the 3 numbers can be traced backwards as well. Using the circle tracer add 3 different size circles overlapping the numbers somewhere on the paper. Use a fine tip Sharpie to trace over all the pencil lines. Fill in the small spaces with lines using the Sharpie. Add shading in some of the corner points with a pencil. I just have the kids smooth out the pencil lines with their fingers or you can use a blending tool. You can order blending tools on Amazon by clicking the link below ... After you have finished all the corner shading start to add your color. I let my students choose between colored pencils or water colors. I use Crayola colored pencils and a mix of Prang and Crayola watercolors in my art room. Colored Pencils Watercolor Jasper Johns painted the entire canvas for his art work tilted 0-9 I only have my students paint inside the numbers and circles but you can try it either way. Let me know what you think and please share your results if you try this project in your class room. You can email me at [email protected] Check back for new projects and ideas every Thursday.
Inside every kid lies the heart of an artist.

A couple of art classes ago, 5th grade started their Jim Dine and Lauralee Chambers inspired paintbrushes! They covered many art practices with this project, and I'm very proud of their results! Here's how we created them! Materials: Pencils 60lb Sax drawing paper Sharpie markers Crayola Artista II watercolors Big Kid's Choice paintbrushes charcoal pencils Day 1: Talk about Jim Dine, and show examples of his and other students' work. Then, I lead them in a directed drawing of how to draw different paintbrushes. After we drew them, we traced them with Sharpie Markers. Here's a how to video here! Day 2: They finished tracing and started shading their paintbrushes. After they completed shading, they added the paint and paint splatters! Here's a time lapse video of me shading my paintbrushes. I used a soft charcoal pencil for the shading. Here's a video of me adding paint to my paintbrushes! Mrs. Kilby's class did a great job!! Here's some awesome art from Mrs. Rogers' class! Since I'm still on a cart, I let them paint outside so we didn't make a mess in their classroom!
