Thank you to CINDY over at love2learn2day for linking me in the teaching blogging community. If you haven't been over to visit her blog, it's an awesome resource and I am posting this post for the "Math Box Monday" :) This is a project I usually do in the winter right after Christmas break to ease us into school again. It's a FUN project that allows students to use their creativity while exploring new/old geometry concepts. Time Allotment: - 1 week (or more) Concepts Covered: - Intersecting, Parallel & Perpendicular Lines - Acute, Right, Obtuse & Straight Angles - Polygons - Polyhedrons Procedure: The first two days are spent working on the Geo-Map and the last two days are spent working on the Geo-Bug. Their only homework during this time is to work on these projects so that they are AWESOME on Friday. Geo-Map: Students will design a city that incorperates many 2-D geometric properties such as lines and polygons. Have students draw their whole city in pencil first and then color it. Geo-Bug: Students will design a 3-D geometry bug based on polyhedra that has been covered. Students will give the bug a name, describe its features and habitat. "Geopillar" circa 2010 Uses spheres, trapezoidal wings, rectangular prisms for legs and triangular prisms for antenna Directions for Geo-Bug and Geo-Map: $4 I hope this is a great project for your classroom! I know my students LOVE this one and it is anticipated every year from the start of school!

Sliced and Diced Form Drawing-Students will draw the 6 Basic 3D forms: Sphere, Cylinder, Donuts, Cone, Pyramid, & Cube/Rectangular Prism. They will learn how to accurately “slice” through the forms to see inside them and render with full shading. They will then create a composition using cuts and slices of the 6 basic shapes.

I am very excited to announce "Drawing from the Bestiary: Animal Anatomy of Real and Imagined Creatures, a new class developed specially for The Morbid Anatomy Art Academy by one of our favorite artists, Saul Chernick. This class will teach students--via illustrated lectures and in-class projects including paper puppets and the creation of bestiary pages--"to use observational and imaginative drawing skills in tandem to capture the essential qualities of their subject" and "learn to draw animals (real, mythic, and otherwise) with greater skill and sensitivity." You can see some of Chernick's wonderful artworks above; you can see more of them by clicking here. The class will take place on 4 consectutive Mondays, from June 25 to July 16th. The full class description follows. Also, please note that the class size is limited to 15, so if you are interested, please RSVP as soon as possible to morbidanatomy [at] gmail.com.

Observatory is very pleased to announce a new workshop developed by Saul Chernick specially for the Morbid Anatomy Art Academy. In this class, Chernick will teach students--via illustrated lectures and in-class projects including paper puppets and bestiary pages--"to use observational and imaginative drawing skills in tandem to capture the essential qualities of their subject" and "learn to draw animals (real, mythic, and otherwise) with greater skill and sensitivity."

Course Description Open to artists of all levels, the goal of this workshop is help participants learn to draw animals (real, mythic, and otherwise) with greater skill and sensitivity. Through exercises in drawing and paper puppetry, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the skeletal/muscular structures of most mammals, reptiles, and birds. Participants will also learn to use observational and imaginative drawing skills in tandem to capture the essential qualities of their subject and create works of convincing visual fiction! What to expect Participants will cull images from the web to create a dossier on the animal(s) that interest them Participants will fashion movable paper puppets to understand how their chosen animal moves Participants will draw studies of the skeletal and muscular structures of animals Participants will use the medium of their choice to create a Bestiary page entry that depicts an animal situated in an environment Materials What to bring to the first class: Choose 1-3 animals and gather pictures on the web. Be sure to get images of their skeletons in profile. Please print these as they may be hard to use on a phone screen. 3-5 sheets of Bristol Board Paper 9" x 12" or larger Pencils & erasers Scissors Xacto or utility knife Glue What to bring for subsequent classes: White or tinted drawing paper 16" x 20" or 18" x 24" Tracing paper (same size as drawing paper) Mechanical and/or regular pencils (2h, hb, 2b, 4b) Optional: Markers, watercolors, gouache, ink, brushes, chalk/oil pastels, colored pencils, Caran D’Ache, collage papers, etc (we’ll discuss further in detail!)
