Four New Art Project Ideas for Grades K-6

14 Maj

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

'stained glass' sun

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

Kelly from Skyline School brought these beautiful ‘stained glass windowsmade with fluorescent liquid watercolor and black glue. Som ett sista steg, 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 (Notera: upper grade students used carbon paper to transfer their symmetric designs).

A New Twist on Monet

Kelly also brought these Monet water-lily paintings. Please zoom in on this paintingthe paint texture is so interesting. Kelly didn’t offer a brushher 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!

Kellys 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 6square of paper. They collage first, then Nancy adds holes with a three-hole punch. Nästa klass, the kindergartener lace the holes. Nancy glues the squares together into a quilt.

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

 

Njuta!

 

 

 

 

Analogous Color Chameleons

9 Maj

Analogous Color Chameleons

 

Are you looking for an engaging, NEAT color project? Try these analogous color chameleons, made with watercolor paper scraps and Crayola markers.

Material

  • Color wheels
  • Watercolor (or drawing paper) scraps
  • Sharpies (or other black permanent markers)
  • Crayola markers (or other fine tip watercolor marker)
  • Brush
  • Vatten
  • Construction paper
  • Construction paper crayons
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Vitt lim

We began by watching this FUN chameleon video

We did a directed draw of the chameleon using Sharpie on watercolor paper. Second graders then added their own detailsstripes, patterns, dots, horns, and spikes.

Next I passed out the color wheels and Crayola markers. We talked about analogous colors as ‘next door neighborson the color wheel. I asked the students to select three analogous color markers and lay them out on their color wheels.

Students checked their neighbor’s work to make sure all the markers were analogous colors.

We used the ‘marker painting’ Tekniken I learned on the fabulous Artisan Des Artes blog. Students outlined the interior of their their chameleons with the markers, then went over the lines with plain water and a small paintbrush. The kids LOVED it when their markers turned to ‘paintand spread through the watercolor paper.

To finish the project, we cut out the chameleons and glued them to simple habitats drawn with crayon on construction paper. For a final touch, some student glued on a curled pipe cleaner for a tongue (I will skip that step next year!).

Guess what…….this project will work even if your markers are a bit dry! It’s a great project for end-of-year or anytime.

Njuta!

P.S. Here are two books my students LOVED!

Laurel Burch was a self-taught jewelry designer and painter. She was extremely successful despite serious illness. Den Laurel Burch website has every resource you could want, including a great biography video och ‘fantastic felineslide show. Vi tog en närmare titt på katten illustrationerna, och märkte de enkla formerna, linjer och mönster.

De kompletterande färger

Jag visade färghjulet och vi diskuterade de kompletterande färgerna (se det här inlägget). De kompletterande färger är mittemot varandra på färghjulet.

Det finns tre komplement par: röd / grön; lila / gul; och orange / blå. När två kompletterar visas tillsammans, färgerna kontrast och "pop".

 

The Art Project

Material:

Dag 1: Rita och Måla katten

  1. Välj en kompletterande färg par.
  2. Rita katten med en enda krita konstruktion papper.
  3. Lägg ögon och andra ansiktsdrag, men lägger inte mönstret eller andra detaljer.
  4. Måla insidan av katten en av de komplementära färgerna.
  5. Måla den negativa utrymmet (bakgrund) i den andra komplementära färgen.
  6. Låt torka.

Dag 2: Dekorera katten

  1. Dela ut exempel på Laurel Burch katt illustrationer och konstruktion kritor papper.
  2. Titta på mönster och andra detaljer på katterna och i den negativa rymden (bakgrund).
  3. Gör en snabb genomgång av de kompletterande färger. Fråga “Vilken färg är din katt? Hitta en krita som är ett komplement till katten färg”.
  4. Spåra kattens ursprungliga linjer med den krita.
  5. Använd alla färger kritor konstruktion papper till färg i ögonen, lägga mönster och mönster. .
  6. Valfritt: tillsätt lite glitter med metalliska kritor.

Jag bara älskar hur de kompletterande färgerna pop mot varandra. Jag älskar också hur de ogenomskinliga konstruktion papper kritor pop ovanpå tempera färg!

Jag använde tempera kakor och konstruktion kritor papper eftersom de var snabba med att ställa in och städa upp. Du kan enkelt ersätta ordinarie tempera och pasteller olja, eller akvarell och regelbundna kritor.

Oavsett vilka material du använder, Detta är en rolig och framgångsrikt projekt dina elever kommer verkligen gillar.

 

Njuta!

 

 

Heritage självporträtt

13 Februari

heritage self portraits

Funderar ett självporträtt projekt? Detta projekt börjar som en grundläggande självporträtt men förvandlas till en familj anor konstprojekt när eleverna lägger i nationella sjunka designer. Denna lektion använder grundmaterial och tar bara två 40-minuters lektioner. Den kommer direkt från den underbara Artisan Des Arts Blog.

Material:

  • Vitt ritpapper, 12″X18″
  • Pennor och suddgummin
  • Mejsel-tip markörer (vi använde Mr. Skiss)
  • Referensbilder nationella flaggor

Vi började med att titta på de stora studenten exemplen på Artisan Des Arts blogginlägg. Sedan frågade jag eleverna, ”Var din familj kommer från?” Efter en snabb diskussion, Nästa vi tittat på flaggor i världen. Då eleverna drog sina porträtt i blyerts.

Eftersom de flesta av våra elever har blandat arv, de hade möjligheten att använda flera flaggor i sin design. Det var upp till dem att räkna ut sina egna mönster. Den vanligaste valet var att ha en flagga design på framsidan och en andra på tröjan.

Som en sista touch, eleverna hade möjlighet att skära ut sina självporträtt och montera dem till byggande papper.

Jag ser verkligen fram emot vår nästa art show. Jag tror att föräldrarna kommer att bli spännande att se deras arv hedras i detta projekt.

Vilka fantastiska lektionsplanering! Jag kommer definitivt att upprepa nästa år. Tack vare Aly på Artisan des Arts för att dela denna stora projekt.

Har du en speciell twist på ett porträtt projekt?
