In Studio Art we will begain working on our last major project, the 3D Cardboard artist Collage based on one of the artists you researched this year. You can create a collage of either the artist or their artwork but you must have at least 3 layers of cardboard and include either color or shading. Check out the example above of the famous Great Wave Off Kanagawa painting shown below. Here's another cool example below from artist Adam Neate. The final works will be due next week on Wednesday.

Last week I pinned a fabulous optical illusion art idea from We Heart Art. She had completed this activity with her fifth graders, and I thought it would make a fantastic first lesson for my students. I tried it out with my oldest daughter last weekend (she's in grade 3), and when she achieved great results, I knew it would be perfect. This is a perfect art lesson for the beginning of the year because it uses only a few materials, has simple directions, and turns out to be an impressive work of art. As we were working on it, I could hear the "cool" and "awesome" comments that we teachers love to hear. We started our lesson by examining a colour wheel and discussing complimentary colours. I had students choose two complimentary colours for this project. To get started: 1) Locate the centre of the page - draw a dot with a pencil. 2) Still using the pencil, draw 6 straight lines through the centre. 3) Still using the pencil, draw "happy face" curved lines in alternate sections. 4) Colour in the sections with marker, alternating one coloured, one blank (these were my magenta sections). Use a pencil crayon (in the same magenta colour) to shade the edges of the blank sections. 5) Using the pencil again, draw "sad face" curved lines in the left over sections. 6) Colour in these sections with marker, alternating one coloured, one blank (these were my green sections). Use a pencil crayon (in the same green colour) to shade the edges. 7) Trace over all pencil lines (straight and curved) with a black marker. 8) Stand back and admire. :) It also makes a show-stopping bulletin board display!!! With just a few twists, you can turn this into a fabulous spider web art idea perfect for October. You can take a peek at my full lesson for this Spider Web Op-Art here. The lesson includes a full PDF as well as PowerPoint lesson with pictures and detailed step-by-step instructions for students, as well as a rubric for assessment and student reflection sheet. Happy Friday!!! And oh my - thank goodness it's Friday!!!

7th grade 3-D students finished up their clay cupcakes and were eager to begin their next project. We looked at the artwork of pop artist, Romero Britto. Britto is a painter and sculptor from Brazil who creates light-hearted, happy artwork using simple shapes, bright colors and lots of patterns. He took inspiration from Matisse and Picasso. Students looked at his artwork of animals and decided to create their own animal sculpture. Using Styrofoam, they created large shapes for the body. They had the option to create flat sculptures or make some parts of it rounded. After they created their form, it was time to plaster! We used PlastrCraft strips to completely cover the sculpture, making sure to smooth out all of the holes as best as we could. This would make painting easier. After the plaster was dry, students went in and added thick, black outlines around their sculpture using sharpie or black paint. Finally, it was time to paint! I really gave them a lot of freedom with the paint. As long as they had areas of solid color and patterns, they could do what they pleased. I reminded them to paint crisp edges and smoothly. Here are some of them so far
