This week, 3rd grade started their Henri Rousseau & Cassie Stephens inspired tigers! Here's Mr. Rousseau's painting we're getting inspiration from! Tiger in a Tropical Storm Here's how we created ours! My first two 3rd grade classes painted a couple of sheets of orange painted paper, and then the rest of the classes were able to draw their tigers, and make some green painted paper for the rest of the project! We're going to be making a collage on blue or black paper, by creating these tigers on the orange paper, and leaves on the green paper. We'll also add a tail, so it looks like the tiger is peeking out of the leaves! Can't wait to see the finished results! Here they are painting paper! I love all the different types of texture they added! Mrs. Stephens has a great video on youtube, showing you exactly how to draw the tiger, and she talks about the elements of art used in this project! Here's the link Cassie Stephen's How to draw a tiger Mrs. Fambrough's class is doing a fabulous job!! Stay tuned for some awesome art!

Third grade used warm and cool colors and pattern to create these tempera paintings. The students viewed artwork by native people and how their hand print was not only a record of who they were or where they had traveled, but also a way to sign their art. The students each used their hand prints to sign their paintings. Notice how the warm colors (red, orange, and yellow) advance and the cool colors (blue, green, and violet) recede? This color effect creates an optical illusion. The boys and girls loved this trick of the eye! The boys and girls also learned how to "let their paintbrush do the work" while working with the cake tempera, a new medium for the third graders.

Ton Schulten is one of my all time favorite artists! I discovered him years ago when I found a calendar full of his paintings when visiting the Toledo Museum of Art. I was hooked! I love his amazing colors and abstract style. I created a Prezi of his landscape and cityscapes to share with my classes, (Ton Schulten Prezi). I find it very interesting how he adds lots of vertical lines to his landscapes, a composition usually created with more horizontal lines. This lesson was a COLOR VALUE lesson. Students used pre-mixed colors and various TINTS to paint in city buildings. The students mixed their own tints of blue for the sky portion. The last step, we used India Ink to outline and decorate our city buildings. This was a great lesson for every student. It was hard to chose which ones to photography! They will look great later in a group hanging in our hallways!
This Monster in My Closet art lesson has been one of my students' absolute favorites over the years! A perfect lesson for drawing creativity out of even the most hesitant young artists. With a focus on line, shape, and texture your students will be engaged the entire time they are creating!

Last week 3rd grade started this fun, colorful Spring work of art! I've been cruising around the internet for new ideas, and came across this one from The ARtcart, and thought that would be a fun way to practice our drawing, painting, cutting, coloring, and composition skills, all in one project! Here's how we created our own! Day 1: Discuss project, show examples of flowers, and demo how to draw different types of flowers. I ask, are these flowers perfect, photographs of flowers? They say, Noooooo, and I agree...& remind them you don't have to create a perfect flower or flowers, or copy a flower that already exists, you can make up your own! Just draw big, so you can trace it with an oil pastel, and so that it will show up on your paper. I get them to draw their flowers and vase out with a pencil, and then trace with a black pastel. By the time most of them complete this, it's time to clean and go. (We have 45 minute classes) I had 3 people, who always finish early, get to the painting stage that day. Materials: 90 lb 12x18 Sax Sulphite paper Crayola oil pastels pencils (don't forget to sketch out leaves!) Day 2: Paint your flowers, and start your background. I used Sax liquid watercolors for this part. ( I also used Sax 90 lb 12x18 paper) I used oil pastels to draw out my table, and to add decorations to my table. (We drew this together btw) Day 3: Cut them out and glue them on! I will have the kids "arrange" their flowers before they just dive into glueing. If all the leaves and petals aren't sticking down, I don't mind. I kind of like the 3-dish effect! Stay tuned for some awesome art! Abby Ellie Harmony Kenzie
