Hello friends. I hope you're keeping well. This post might be a little out of
We are currently starting our final projects of the year. [I can't believe it!] But for now, let me catch you up on what we just fini...
Under the sea silhouette art is an easy kids art project for toddlers and preschoolers. This is a fun craft for summer or ocean themed units.
Summer is here, and our walks along the beach have become more regular again. On these trips I can never resist picking up beach treasures – whether it be in the form of sea-glass, or sea-pottery, interesting pieces of driftwood, and even bits of old rope or other flotsam and jetsam. Collecting it however is one thing, finding something to do with it all is entirely another. So it was good to finally put a few bits and pieces to use to create these Mini Seaside Dioramas. The containers for these were simply some small lidded cardboard boxes I had lying around (I have saved the lids for future use!) Backgrounds were created using some of the painted papers which myself and the kids have created in the past and which I have also previously stored for future use. It also enabled me to try out my brand new Glue Gun – I had never used one of these before, but can see why they’re so popular, as it was a lot less messy using it rather than standard glue which can take a while to try and can be more fiddly to apply. I also wanted to introduce an element of fun and movement to each diorama – so the fish danging in the box (created from pieces of sea glass, with details drawn on with a silver pen) can move from side to side, the sailing boat on its stick (created from a mini piece of driftwood) can bob up and down on the waves, and the seagulls by the lighthouse (also a small piece of driftwood, sat on pebbles) can move up and down. This is a fun summer project if you fancy trying it. It would be suitable for older kids to do, but it’s a bit too complex and fiddly for younger children. If you don’t have any suitable ‘finds’ available then the objects can be created using paper and card alone, though collecting them is half the fun if you’re able to do so! As well as being fun, it’s also got plenty of learning value too, as some thought and planning has to be given to how to create the 3 dimensional effect, and how to introduce and construct the mechanism for movement, so that there are elements of art, design and engineering coming into play here. Enjoy your summer – and hopefully it won’t be too long this time before there’s something new to see here!

Since Summer is on he horizon, it only seems fitting to draw Summer stuff. Seashells are a great way to teach balance, symmetry, contour line and form. I created a number of How To Draw Sea Shell worksheets after studying shells myself. I am giving these to the students to practice with drawing the shells. Students will draw 3 or more shells (all the same or different) in the middle of their paper. Use a pencil and draw light, till you know it's right. Then go darker of use permanent marker. Use crayons to color the seashells (use lots of pressure to seal up all paper) In the center of the paper, with a white crayon, draw small circles clumped together like grape clusters. This will be a line of sea foam that divides the water from the sand. Drawing the sand dollar, starfish and scallop here in time lapse... Drawing the alphabet cone and wentel trap here in time lapse... Drawing the bubbles with white crayon, coloring the shells with crayons and painting the sand and water with tempera cakes. This is called the crayon resist method. the top portion above shells and bubbles with blues, greens and purples. Paint the bottom portion with yellows, oranges and browns. You should be able to paint on top of the seashells since you colored hard with crayon. The wax will resisit the watercolor and stay unaffected.

Last May, Jacquelien at Kids Artists posted a collage project with sailboats that reminded me of something I saw on Mary's blog, Marymaking, back in March of 2010. Since our school is mere blocks from the Pacific Ocean, both ideas "spoke to me." I loved Jacquelien's idea of tearing the strips of paper for the water, creating the whitecaps from the tearing. Also loved the idea of sandpaper for the sand, but that is not in my budget. I also loved Mary's idea for the texturized water and the painted sails, ala Eric Carle. So I sort of combined those ideas and added a few extra touches here and there. Our Content Standards include background, mid ground and foreground in seascapes, as well as overlapping and size difference to create the illusion of space. So, here is the variation of this lesson we will be doing in 3rd Grade this year: On Day 1 kids will be painting water with blue and green tempera on plain copy paper (from the computer). I added some white using my new bread dough rollers (for a little extra movement). Next, they'll use a light wash of watercolor for the sky and sponge paint on watercolor for the sand. We may have time to start on the boats during the first session, but if not, we can make them on Day 2. Kids will cut 3 different sized rectangles for the hull. They'll need to cut a thin "mast" first, and then make 2 angled cuts to make a trapezoid. After gluing the mast to the body of the boat, it will be time to make the triangle shaped sails. This provides an opportunity to talk about right angles and direction (a little math worked into the lesson here!). I made my sample sails from paper taken from magazines. Students can either make their sails that way, or design and color their own. I want them to think about color and pattern choices and how the placement of colors will enhance the overall piece. The water is created by tearing semi-straight strips, which will create white edges. I tore one plain white strip to glue on the very front to resemble waves. The trickiest part of the assemblage was gluing the overlapping strips and inserting the sailboats between them so that there would be a bit of overlap of the boats. I anticipate the gluing process to be difficult for some, so I'll suggest gluing one side of all the strips first, to give the piece some stability. The sides cam be trimmed after all the sailboats and water strips are glued down. My last step was to splatter some white and light blue paint to give the idea of splashing waves. (That added a LOT to the over-all effect). If we have time, we may add umbrellas, beach pails, etc. in the foreground. I am anxious to see how the kids do with this!!
