A few weeks ago I was contacted by a representative of Prang. She asked if I would be willing to try out and compare some of their art materials and give a review of them in exchange for free materials...heck yes! So, as I began planning my first unit for Studio Art, I decided to give the Prang markers a go, compared to the Rose Art markers they sent me as well. So, here goes (I'm killing two birds with one stone here!). So the first set of materials I decided to try out was the Prang vs. RoseArt markers. As I continue through my post below, I'll show you some photos behind my notes here, but these are my thoughts about the markers: Prang 12 colors (+) Colors are more concentrated and solid (+) Bleed through 80 lb. paper when used heavily (-) White caps = no mixed up colors (+) Tips seem strong (+) Prang Power points! (+) $4.00 (Office Max), $2.89 for set of 8 and $3.95 for set of 12 through Blick Rose Art 10 colors (-) Less concentrated, more transparent (-) Don't appear to bleed through 80 lb. drawing paper when used heavily (+) Colored caps = mixed up colors (-) Tips seem flexible (-) $4.57 (Amazon), $2.20 through Rose Art When it comes to markers, I have a few different kinds I generally use in my classroom. I have the Crayola markers for everyday use in the supply bins in the elementary room. I can definitely say that I agree with Mr. E. when he says the Crayola markers tend to be "sketchy" when coloring a large area. That is why I let the kids use those ones for free draw. I actually use the non-scented Mr. Sketch markers for specific projects that require a nicer marker (I prefer the chisel tip for thick and thin lines, though the younger kids do need to be taught how to use those markers correctly), and I use the obvious Sharpie marker for specific projects as well. Currently, I'm not really sure where I'd stand on buying Prang markers. If they were offered in a requisition cheaper than Crayola, I'd probably try them, but currently I've got a good stock pile of the others! Now, they also sent Ticonderoga pencils, and there really is no contest there between the competitors brand. I already purchase these through my Boces requisitions each year. They're strong pencils, the erasers are good (while they last), and I appreciate that this pack already came sharpened, although the 12 packs I purchase are not sharpened. So, onto the bulk of this post. Because of the Common Core, I was asked if I had a textbook in the art room to use. This Art Talk textbook is the textbook art teachers in St. Lawrence county agreed to use many years back, around 2000 I believe, as that is the copyright on this textbook, but at recent regional meetings, it's apparent that everyone does not use it anymore (granted, I'm sure that will now change again with Common Core rolling in). It's an okay book, but I definitely don't plan on using it from start to finish for the entire year. I'll use bits and pieces here and there as they fit what the students and I want to do over the school year and then I'll possibly look into a different textbook for next year. My first unit is actually going to be pulled directly from the textbook, but with my own twist on the notes, quiz, worksheets and projects. I know a lot of students tend to be bored by the elements and principles, so I want to get that out of the way right in the beginning, and hopefully make it quick and somewhat fun. The projects suggested in the textbook to do all revolved around critiques and discussions in some way, which seems very boring for the beginning of the year, so I'm approaching it a bit differently. Critiques will be handled more in depth in the second unit of the year and I'm going to incorporate an art project into the first unit. The chapter is split into three lessons. The first lesson discusses what art is (a form of communication) and why it is created. The second lesson discusses where artists get their inspiration from, and the third lesson, the one I am going to concentrate on a bit more, is about the elements and principles, as well what is in a credit line. We will spend a day on the first two lessons in class, taking notes in a note packet I've created and then the third day, students will actually read the chapter about "The Language of Art". For the elements, we are going to create this info-graphic type resource. Lightly folding the paper in half to find the mid-way point, I'll have students fold the sides to the halfway point and then measure out seven equal sections. From there, they will cut slits to the fold. On the front, they will be asked to illustrate the elements of art to help them remember what they are. On the inside, they will have to write the definition of each element. From this picture, you can see how the Prang markers bled through the 80 lb. drawing paper, which is 10 lbs. heavier than what I buy for my elementary room. The lighting was really bad in this picture, but "shape" was colored with Rose Art markers and "Form" with the Prang. You can sort of see how the Rose Art markers are a little streakier and transparent when coloring an entire area. Also on the inside flaps, students will be asked to break down each element a little further with their illustrations. For example, shapes and forms can both be geometric or organic. They can showcase different shading techniques for value, different color schemes for color, and implied vs. actual texture for texture. I didn't finish mine because I don't want any of the students to copy, but this is the gist of what they will do! I only plan on having the students do this for the elements right now, as I think the principles are a little harder to illustrate right off the bat, but I'm thinking of offering an extra credit assignment where students can do this project at home for the principles as well to turn in. I'll share some of my unit handouts in my next post and explain this unit a little more in depth then as well.
Teaching the elements of art to elementary school children can be a rewarding and challenging experience for educators. The elements of art are the building blocks that form the foundation of visual arts. These elements include line, shape, form, space, texture, value, and color. Understanding and mastering these elements can help children create beautiful and meaningful art.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Don't teach the elements and principles of art. Do not make up exercises specifically to teach line, or texture, or space...etc. Use the elements and principles in your lessons, not as your lesson. Regardless, my elements of design and principles of design packets remain my most popular downloads. So, here is another one! I copied this from Ande Cook's Art Starters. A mini colorful one page handout quizzing your class on what they know about the elements and principles. I think they will hate it and your intermediate kids might not even understand it. However, if you really want to pound in those vocab words - here is some great practice! Here is Ande Cook's book Art Starters that a lot of these worksheets from SchoolArts are originally from.
