K – 6 Kunst

Looking for new art project ideas? Here are four new (to me) art project ideas from my fabulous creative colleagues, Kelly and Nancy.

Kelly’s ‘Stained Glass’

Kelly’s ‘stained glass’ sun made with watercolors and black glue.

Kelly from Skyline School brought these beautiful ‘stained glass windows’ made with fluorescent liquid watercolor and black glue. Als letzter Schritt, her students rubbed their artwork with baby oil and a cotton ball to make the paper translucent. Primary grades used a paper plate tracer to make the sun. Upper elementary made the geometric window (beachten: upper grade students used carbon paper to transfer their symmetric designs).

Kelly’s ‘Stained Glass Window’ made with watercolor and black glue.

A New Twist on Monet

Kelly also brought these Monet water-lily paintings. Please zoom in on this painting – the paint texture is so interesting. Kelly didn’t offer a brush – her students applied paint with novelty rings purchased at Oriental Trading. These rings look like little sea urchins. If you try this, Kelly recommends pinching the ring instead of wearing it on her finger. Needless to say, her students LOVED this project!

Kelly’ s students painted their Monet-inspired art with a ring from Oriental Trading.

30-Minute Color Mixing

Nancy teaches art at Solana Highlands School. She brought a color mixing project. Students used two colors plus black and white. After tinting, shading and creating a neutral, they drizzled black glue over the top. I love how much variety her students achieved. Some of these abstract compositions look like animal patterns. LOVE! Even more impressive: Nancy only has 30 minutes with her students. She does a lot of stations and table rotations to fit her projects in the tight time frame.

Kindergarten Paper Quilts

Nancy did these paper quilt squares with the kindergarten. The kindergarteners start with a 6″ square of paper. They collage first, then Nancy adds holes with a three-hole punch. Next class, the kindergartener lace the holes. Nancy glues the squares together into a quilt.

As always, I am FLOORED by my colleagues creativity. They always have interesting, challenging, beautiful projects – and they teach them so well. Thanks to Nancy and Kelly for sharing your ideas.

Ich habe gerade eine Peter Max Statue of Liberty Projekt mit meinem Erstklässler. To plan this lesson, I took a look at a lot of elementary-level Peter Max lesson plans on the internet. All my research is contained in the Round Up collage above.

Do you like this collage? Hover over each image and you will see an arrow. Click on the arrow to link directly to the lesson.

I made this graphic using a free website called ThingLink. It allows users to make images interactive. I learned about ThingLink on the Free Technology for Teachers blog.

Here are some more resources you can use for your lesson:

Meet Peter Max:

Wikipainting.org has a great selection of Peter Max artworks, including a Liberty Head, psychedelic artwork from the 1960s, und Warhol-like portraits of famous people.

Our students watched Peter Max prep his canvases this EXCELLENT 2008 video from CBS This Morning. (Requires flash. Reading this on an iPhone or iPad? Klicken Sie hier)

Our Art Project: We ended up doing a two-day art project using Temperatur Kuchen and black crayon on 12″x18″ sulphite and manila paper.

Tag 1:Paint backgrounds in style of Peter Max. Students made patches of color, stripes or even polka dots.

Tag 2: Use black crayon or oil pastel in directed draw of Statue of Liberty head. BE SURE TO TELL STUDENTS TO GO BACK OVER THEIR LINES SO THEY ARE THICK AND BLACK.

Here is one of our first grade artworks:

Our first graders learned about artist George Rodrigue’s Blue Dog. They had a fabulous time creating their own blue (or green or magenta) dogs and dressing them up in paper collage. Die George Rodrigue Foundation website has every resource you could possibly need. I downloaded the Blue Dog PowerPoint slideshow, and learned the Blue Dog was inspired by Rodrigue’s late dog, Tiffany. The PowerPoint has lots of ’dressed up’ Blue Dog paintings, including a secret agent dog, hula dog and motorcycle dog. Of course the first graders LOVED that! I also showed students the first few minutes of this video from CBS Sunday Morning.

Now on to the art project!

Materialien

• white sulphite drawing paper – 12″ x 18“ (or other white paper that is strong enough for painting)
• black crayons
• Temperatur Kuchen
• water cups and brushes
• Klebestifte
• Schere
• colored construction paper scraps

Tag 1: Students watched Blue Dog PowerPoint, then did a directed draw of the blue dog using black crayon. Next they painted the dog in a single solid color using tempera cakes. Amazingly, this took only 40 minutes thanks to the easy-to-handle tempera cakes.

Tag 2: Students decorated their dogs using scrap paper and glue stick. This was a popular and super successful project with easy clean up. I will definitely repeat next year.

Genießen!

Sind Sie auf der Suche nach einer lustigen Collage-Projekt für den Kindergarten? Diese Zeitung Stadt Collage-Projekt greift Studenten mit einer Diskussion über ihre Stadt, dann lässt sie nutzen ihre Schneiden, Kleben, Färben und Lackieren Fähigkeiten.

Auf die Frage,, “Was machst du in einer Stadt zu sehen?” Kindergartenkinder Namen alle möglichen Dinge: houses, Straßen, hohen Wohnblocks, Garagen, und sogar Boote in San Diego Hafen. Ein Mädchen sprach über ihre Reise in die Stadt Krankenhaus, andere über das, was sie sah, auf Urlaub in New York City.

Materialien:

• schwarzes Tonpapier
• Zeitung
• Schere
• Klebestift
• Tonpapier Buntstifte, sowie schwarze Kreide
• Aquarell-Set

Tag 1: Schneiden und kleben Zeitungen. Betonen Form: Quadrate, Kreisen, Dreiecke, Rechtecke etc. Fügen Sie Details mit Kreide.

Tag 2: Malen mit Aquarell.

Kindergartenkinder machen geschnittenes Papier Stadt Collagen aus Zeitungsartikeln, dann Farbe mit Kreide und Aquarell. Erlauben Sie zwei 40-Minuten-Klassen.

Sind sie nicht wunderbar?

New York City Collage vor und nach Buntstiften und Wasserfarben. Siehst du die Statue of Liberty?

So viel wie die Kinders genossen das Projekt, Ich würde die Dinge ein wenig anders beim nächsten Mal:

• Verwenden Sie kleinere schwarzes Tonpapier . Studenten hatten Schwierigkeiten Befüllen der 12″x18″ Papier haben wir innerhalb der Klasse Zeitrahmens. So diese Klasse dauerte drei 40 Minute Klassen – Ich möchte es auf zwei verkürzen.
• Direkt auf der ersten Seite der Zeitung! It took extra time to eliminate inappropriate ads and articles. Nächstes Mal werde ich versuchen, die weißen Seiten eines Telefonbuchs, Kleinanzeigen oder finanziellen / Lager Inserate.

Diese Lektion wurde von dieser Lektion inspiriert CCE Kunst Happenings.
