Mondrian gâteau de Desserts d'Art Moderne

Desserts d'Art Moderne est un tout nouveau livre de cuisine par Caitlin Freeman, chef pâtissier au San Francisco MOMA In-House Cafe. Elle a le travail impressionnant de créer des desserts qui ressemblent à des oeuvres d'art dans le musée.

Regardez Caitlin faire son gâteau Mondrian ici:

Ce serait faire un cadeau de fête des Mères fun (ou le défi du club art!).

Pâté de Rothko Le Palais de l'artiste

Pour un traditionnel (et plus facile) dessert, faire maman Mark Rothko Anniversaire Apple Pie. Il était son favori – sa femme a chaque année pour son anniversaire. Cliquez ici pour la recette . Le Palais de l'artiste livre contient des recettes et des menus complets pour beaucoup de repas artiste d'inspiration.

La salade de Dali MoMA Artistes’ Cookbook

Retour dans les années 70, Le MoMA de New York a publié Museum of Modern Art Artistes’ Cook Book. Le livre est plein d'interviews, anecdotes et de recettes du 30 artistes modernes de la journée.

Cliquez ici pour des recettes par

• Louise Bourgeois
• Robert Motherwell
• Dali
• Le Koonig

Comme les livres de cuisine vont, celui-ci est le joker. En vérité, la maman artistique dans votre vie peut préférer vous ne faites pas d'elle la salade Dali pour le brunch de la fête des Mères. Mais qu'est-ce que vous attendez de Dali? Salade de chou? Essayez Koonig Petit déjeuner néerlandais plutôt.

J'espère que vous avez un jour de grand mère avec la dame artistique dans votre vie.

Jouir!

Who knew the Berlin Zoo is full of interesting sculpture and design? I’m here in Berlin for spring break. Here are just a few of the gems I saw at this incredible zoo.

The giraffe house has Moorish arches, spires, and tile.

Berlin Zoo elephant gate entrance pagoda. Designed in 1899.

Wrought metal roosters on the hen house fence. I love the spiral eye.

The hen house looks like a real house! Designed around 1905.

The zoo has a big playground for kids. This crazy swing set is designed so the kids can’t collide in the center (but they will try!).

Hope you are having a great spring!

Jouir!

We learn about the complementary colors in second grade. This year I noticed a lot of my students were wearing solid color clothing in the primary and secondary colors. I had the kids pose with their complementary color partner. This was a lot of fun, and a great kinestetic learning aid. Just think – they could arrange themselves into cool and warm color groups, analogous, etc. Wouldn’t that be fun to do outside on a beautiful day?

Jouir!

Do you incorporate movement into your lessons?

Col Art Goodie Bag full of art supplies!!!

I couldn’t attend the 2013 PAA Conférence au Texas. Cependant, the wonderful folks at ColArt sent me this FABULOUS goodie bag of their art supplies in honor of K-6 Art selection as a haut 10 Art Ed blog for 2012.

The goodie bag contained lots of paints, brosses, marqueurs, crayons, mini canvases and even face paint from brands including Reeves, Liquitex, Windsor and Newton, Conte, Letraset and Snazaroo.

What to try first? I cannot wait to try out my Reeves Water Soluble Wax Pastels. Apparently the colored wax adheres to foil. Voici une lesson plan from Blick that uses the wax pastels on textured tooling foil:

I have a name art foil relief project on the blog that might look very nice in wax pastel! I will definitely report back on my experiments with all my fabulous new supplies.

Thank you ColArt!

Bonjour de San Diego!

J'ai ouvert mon ordinateur aujourd'hui et a trouvé une note d'Elizabeth à la merveilleuse Peintres rêve Blog. She nominated K-6 Art for a Premio Dardos.

This is a virtual award sent as a ‘gift’ from one blogger to another as “recognition for the creativity, effort and dedication” we each put into our blog. The award originated in Spain around 2008-2009 and has been sent from blogger to blogger ever since.

To accept the award, you simply

1. Link back to the person who nominated you
2. Display the award icon and
3. Nominate others whose blogs you admire for these qualities.

Thanks so much Elizabeth! I am a big fan of Peintres rêve. Elizabeth is so positive and enthusiastic. I appreciate the gift.

It is really hard to pick just a few from all the FABULOUS art ed blogs I follow. I’m going to go with the ones I visit frequently. Here they are in alpha order:

• Miss at Une tentative Fidèle. Miss has taught at different school around the world, and her projects reflect her travels. Plus she has great step-by-step photos.
• Ted at Art avec M.. Il. Among his other great qualities, Ted is really welcoming to all the new art ed bloggers who join this community.
• Tricia at Dryden Art. Tricia is a trailblazer in terms of using technology in the elementary art room, and she shares all her resources with her readers.
• Mollie at Marché de l'Art pour enfants. This is a really well-written, straightforward blog that details the teaching process of each pre-K – 8th grade project.
• Princesse Artypants blogs from an international school in Saudi Arabia. Her projects are really creative, and include 3D.
• Anderson at Galerie d'art. Anderson blogs from his art room in Brazil. His projects are very creative, and he puts a lot of effort into photographing them and writing them up. I don’t know of any other art ed bloggers in Brazil.
• Don at éclat brite zamorano. Don’s blog is unique – he creates projects based on the work of contemporary artists and illustrators. And he always emphasizes the elements of art in his projects. The man gets 5-6 year olds to include value in their work.
• Phyl at There’s a Dragon in My Artroom. Phyl has a wide variety of projects on her blog, including a lot of 3D such as papier-mâché and cardboard sculpture.
• Joanna at Nous Heart Art. I have taught several of Joanna’s art project – they were very successful. I keep returning for her cheerful, do-able projects.

Wishing all of you a relaxing end of year and happy start to 2013!
