These are some pieces that we completed in one of my art camp sessions this summer. It is a great lesson to do on culture, and while many cultures have worshiped the symbols of the sun and the moon, the Aztecs are a great place to start with the symbolism.</div>

First, the circle is a common symbol to use for the circle of life, and well, the sun and the moon fit perfectly in that category. They are also the perfect balance of one another. While the sun is the symbol for rebirth, energy, strength, light, and power, the moon symbolizes cooling, calm, reflection, mystery, and the dream world.</div>

This is a compliment color project that all my 3rd, 4th and 5th graders worked on this past year. I love black glue and the results, but I don't always love mixing the the glue with paint. I've done it all. For many years, I did glue with india ink. If you don't get the proportions right, then it gets really gummy.</div>

I've done glue with black acrylic, I get very similar results...too gummy. I've done black tempera with glue, which seems to work alright, but they seem to turn quickly, and tempera just stinks, so there's that.</div>

This is a beautiful solution, although right now, an expensive one! With the slime craze going on right now glue in general is expensive, but especially clear glue.</div>

The clear glue on the black construction paper shows up black, and as a little bonus, it's SHINY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The results are fabulous and super easy. And you don't have to spend several hours mixing up black glue that may or may not work for you.</div>

This is a lesson that we worked on before the Christmas break and into January. We did two point perspective with just a simple house. This was a good way, not too complicated, to introduce perspective drawing. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH-DEsRPfSB9b1AQ_xkb1_M7oL50g9iRhUgOdUV05Mcqk_EwiEsOxbG_SGRvQPXnjFa-nMvsL14gTqWHpAiaiTnGAqZYW3zNR6EUnWIS31NzX7O5xzJQTIO7NdBc_UoOSyx3OSEKg6NbI/s1600/IMG_0587.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1196" data-original-width="1600" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH-DEsRPfSB9b1AQ_xkb1_M7oL50g9iRhUgOdUV05Mcqk_EwiEsOxbG_SGRvQPXnjFa-nMvsL14gTqWHpAiaiTnGAqZYW3zNR6EUnWIS31NzX7O5xzJQTIO7NdBc_UoOSyx3OSEKg6NbI/s640/IMG_0587.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We walked through the steps as a class, which helped to keep everyone at the same pace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the house was complete, the kids turned them into gingerbread houses, so that they didn't look so cookie cutter.</div>

This lesson was done with both 4th and 5th graders, and both grade levels really struggled with using a ruler. The kids just don't use ruler enough to know how to use them correctly. </div>

They were able to choose how to color their pieces, but many did sunsets and aurora borealis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These took two art classes to draw the house (with lots of time going over how to hold the ruler), and 2-3 days of adding details and coloring.</div>

This project is from this fall. It is one that I come back to occasionally. I am a sucker for shrink art, I guess. It is a good quick culture lesson, this lesson is usually just a two day lesson with my 5th graders. We spend one day planning the lesson, drawing out the art on a paper, sanding the shrink art and then tracing the artwork onto the shrink film. Day 2 is tracing the lines with black sharpie and color pencil. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, as a bonus, this is also a great STEAM lesson. </div>

The sheets of plastic is polystyrene which is recycled plastic #6. The polymer chains are bunched up and clumped together when you get it in the sheets. When they are heated, they are forced to line up in a more orderly fashion. This is their natural state, and the heat is what is activating this process. </div>

I have been super behind on posting everything this year. Especially since we are past our first nine weeks grading period and into our second. Things aren't this shiny and clean anymore...but then again it's the art room. If it were perfectly clean and organized all the time, then maybe we aren't creating enough. </div>

This is my new rug for the art room, and I am in love! Yes, with the rug, it has been great, the kids each have a target to sit on, and it is so much easier to teach these large classes. I taught for years using a rug, but when I began teaching part time, the teacher here didn't use a rug. I mean, it makes all the difference in getting a lesson out.</div>

Color wheel fun! I love the bright colors and it just makes the room a happy place. I loved the lady that I taught with, but she felt like things on the wall distracted the kids. There were 500 other things on the wall, schedules and more schedules, boring things, but none with color. She was also a collector of things, all things, but in particular furniture. We had tons of unused furniture in every crook and cranny of the room. It felt like the walls were closing in on me! I can breathe now.</div>

The pom pom ART letters leading the way to the art room was super cheap and a great way to point the way to the art room. I just made my letters out of cardboard from old boxes, I think the whole thing cost under $5 and they are really big letters. I found this super cute idea on Pinterest... of course!</div>

I always like to do a project for International Day of Peace, I've done something for almost all of the 20 years I've been teaching. Many of those years I did Pinwheels for Peace. Which is a great project, the kids love doing the pinwheels and we always made a big deal out of "planting" our pinwheels. We got everyone involved, music, PE, Enrichment classes, and of course the art class. </div>

Although there were many positives to this activity, there are a few things to consider if your going to do it. Number one, how many kids do you plan to do this activity with and how many people are helping you? I always had around 600-700 kids, and I had NO help. My fingers were tired and bleeding from pushing the pins in to make a pinwheel. Even if the older kids can do it, you will end up helping many. And forget it, Kinder, 1st and 2nd grade, I was envisioning the worst! So I did ALL of those.<br />

Also, another thing to consider is your soil that you will be planting your pinwheels. Many years we are in drought stages here in the great state of Texas, and let me tell you, even planting a pencil can be a might feat! There were many tears shed because their pencils broke before they could get it planted.<br />

These days, I'm teaching just under 900 kids, there is no way I could make these and keep my sanity. So, years back, I did take a much needed break from the pinwheel project and came up with the idea to do these Positive/Negative dove images. These are great collaborative projects that can be done quickly. I did these on the first day of school after we went over a few expectations of the art room. I rotated tables to add to the art work and to sign their poster. This also fits in nicely with our anti bully program.<br />

It is also nice to have the peace language up in the hallway, it will hopefully encourage some good discussions and make kids (and adults), to stop and think about kindness. </div>

I hosted a food themed camp. The taco Tuesday collage was one of my favorite lessons. The kids were having so much fun creating these collage pieces. And just looking at these, I'm starting to get hungry. Tacos anyone...?<br />

Shrink art is another of my all time favs! The kids created their food of choice on shrink art and we glued them to these ring blanks that I got on Amazon. They were around $5 for 100 ring blanks. I always ask the kids what their favorite art project was for the week, and shrink art is always a top three!<br />

We also did vegetable printing that we made into a collage, Cezanne fruit bowls and Thiebaud cake paintings. Clay cupcakes were a favorite, and we decorated our portfolio with cute food characters from Art Hub for Kids on Youtube. The kids love these videos, and these work out great when I need a few minutes of prep for the next art lesson. It provides just enough time to get supplies set up.</div>

Although, in the beginning, some of my students weren't so thrilled about being a pirate. It didn't take long for them to warm up to the idea. And for goodness sake, who isn't halving fun when everyone, including the teacher, is squinting and talking about their "booty"</div>

These were done on 9 by 12 dark gray construction paper. We drew out the pirate image in pencil and then traced with sharpie. Once the sharpie was complete, we used Crayola Art Stix to fill in the color. </div>

Getting the younger groups to push their colors can be hard, but I've found something that motivates them to press their colors. I ask them to use their art muscles and find examples of those who are already pressing hard. Then, I make a big deal about how big their art muscles are. If I compliment the girls, the boys can hardly take it, and they start pressing their colors more.<br />

This was our last lesson for the school year for 2nd grade. I was really proud of them for hanging in there to the very end. This is a smaller group of kids, therefore easier to manage. Some of my larger groups, 3rd and 4th in particular, started giving up around spring break, so I had to simplify my last couple of projects to keep them engaged.</div>

We held three sessions throughout the year, and limited our enrollment to 20-25 students. We allowed all ages kinder through 5th graders to participate. We also charged $15 per session. Some of the projects we repeated with each group and some we came up with new lessons for the new group.<br />

Down fall, we had to turn lots of kids down because of high interest. We did lots of different projects from connecting circuits to designing t-shirts, creating scribble bots and making crystals. Here are a few projects that I was able to stop long enough to get some pictures.<br />

The paint pendulums were loads of fun (when we had the right paint). We did these on poster board so they would stand up to the paint being poured onto it. This also helped when transferring these to the drying rack. The set up for this was really easy, we just used two student chairs with a broom stick attached to the top. I had students help rig the string and cup to find the perfect setup. A great engineering opportunity. </div>

We also did a clay project, which we ran out of time to paint. We just encouraged them to paint these at home with whatever paints were available at home to them. <br />

Another favorite was a marbling project. The kids dipped card stock and then they made these into their Mother's Day cards. The cards were really beautiful. I even dipped extra cards and they went into the silent auction for our district. I had lots of request for extra sets after the auction was done. I'll have to remember this for next years art show!<br />

Someone had accidentally left the laminator rolling. Yep, the whole roll went through the laminator. Luckily it wasn't a brand new roll. But still, we all know how valuable the laminator is and once we run out of lamination for the year...that's it. <br />

I happily took the roll, not knowing what to do with it, and later deciding to do a project with tissue paper, probably months later. I just cut up squares of colored tissue and made a mix of glue and water. The kids just "painted" a section of glue and laid down the tissue squares overlapping. <br />

We discovered that several layers are best. Once it is dry, you just peel it away and you have this beautiful sheet of color. The best part is the beautiful surprise on the back (the side sticking to the plastic). It comes out shiny and more of a stained glass look. And if your lucky, some of the colors have bleed together! <br />

That first project, that I probably don't even have a sample for anymore, was a project that I did with Romare Bearden. We drew instruments that would be used in a Jazz band, and painted them black. They turned out great, the black was a great contrast to the bright colors. <br />

This time around, I decided to do the tissue paper with a much younger group, 1st grade. Instead of doing individual stain glass pieces, we worked as a table group to make one large piece that would be cut apart. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVVXlqj3q_GAg510UGRWIn7nXFoUz_QA6BRGaCLbsf2hweCBtkNnPDNiWDFmdF9iW90GooXpyjOPQCpo63ffjWxNS2rgOYL4AuxF7L_lEBjp4Cd7cO6PsDwYm0ymEWjK63Ey6mnyQRODe-/s640/blogger-image-1247077221.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVVXlqj3q_GAg510UGRWIn7nXFoUz_QA6BRGaCLbsf2hweCBtkNnPDNiWDFmdF9iW90GooXpyjOPQCpo63ffjWxNS2rgOYL4AuxF7L_lEBjp4Cd7cO6PsDwYm0ymEWjK63Ey6mnyQRODe-/s640/blogger-image-1247077221.jpg" /></a></div>
This is where multiple layers is best, cutting into the tissue is much easier if it is thick, especially for the younger grade levels.<br />

The first graders each cut out three trees that were added to their blustery winter scenes. These pictures don't do them justice, but they really are beautiful. <br />

I wish you could see the shininess to the trees, but you'll just have to trust me. So, if you find yourself with an offer to take run off from the laminator...take it! If no one is offering, put an empty box beside the laminator. The beginning of the year is a great time to get those large pieces that come off the end. <br />

You'll have a fun activity for your kids, you'll have a piece that makes everyone happy (kids, parent, teachers and administration), it's cheap!!, and you will be reusing something that would otherwise be thrown in the trash. I think that is a win-win.<br />

This was a project that I did with my 2nd graders this year, and was their project for the school art show. I had done this project before, but was able to utilize the class set of Ipads, which I didn't have access before. <br />

Students were asked to search for an insect they wanted to draw, they searched by classification, until they found the specimen they wanted to draw. Since they are assigned a tablet, they were able to screen shot a picture and information about the insect they choose.<br />

This helped speed up the process a bit, instead of starting a new search each time they came to class. They were asked to draw the insects as if under a magnifying glass. This was the real challenge for my second graders, filling the page with their insect. <br />

These were a great addition to the art show, I loved the variety that it allowed. Especially when you are displaying so many pieces, 830 art pieces to be exact, you don't want the cookie cutter look.<br />

Years ago when I would do the Original Works program at my last school, this is the piece that I would have done with my 3rd graders. Of course, it has evolved and changed over the years, but I feel like I get great results from it each time. <br />

It has been about 4 years since I've done this with my kids. I was looking to make some changes in the way we do our Eagle's Art Night, and the art work that would be displayed. The previous three years, I was working part time with another art teacher and we each did our own lessons with students. We also did several different lessons with each class so that we would have a variety of things to hang for the show. So basically I was teaching a different lesson with each grade level every single day! This was great for the show, but was extremely hard to organize and really made for a stressful environment when it came to the teaching part. <br />

Since I was going to be teaching full time this year, I decided that we needed one good lesson from each grade level that encouraged individuality from these little artist. So that is when I remembered what great variety there was with this lesson. I think the framing part of this lesson really helps making the artwork look unique. <br />

We practiced drawing different sea animals for a couple art sessions so that they could be sure and pick something that they could draw well. One of the most difficult things is having them narrow down what they want to draw. (Because they would draw it all if I would let them.) I really tried to get them to focus on one or two animals. <br />

So, putting emphasis on one or two animals, and really doing a good job. This is also a great lesson to talk about underwater landscapes, from mountains to valleys and the coral reef and the ecosystems within these marine biomes.<br />

You can really pack a lot of science into this lesson, and what administrator doesn't like that? So, if you are looking for a lesson that does it all, this is both a parent pleaser as well as your admin. <br />

This is the 4th event I have been apart of, but this year I am teaching on my own, so I didn't have my wonderful teaching partner to help me through it all.<br />

However, I did feel like things went very well, even with our student population increasing to around 830 kids. So, the big challenge this year was getting the work done on a six day rotation. We started on week two of school with the artwork, so it seems like there would be plenty of time, and for most grade levels that was true. I did feel the pinch a bit with the older grade levels. The PTA always request that the work be delivered to them the first week of November so that they have sufficient time to mount all the work. <br />

Which means that I have to complete the work so that it can be checked, signatures added, as well as the labels to each art piece around the middle of October? <br />

The PTA came up with this creative way of displaying all the work and it seems to work really well.<br />
All the art work is hung with rubber cement so that parents can peel off their child's art work. Then, they take it to the framing table where a bevy of workers take money, organize paperwork, frame, and so on. We ran out of frames and more had to be ordered. So, I would say it was a success. <br />

The frames are sold for $12, and I think there is about a $3 profit from each frame. Last year the profits were around $800. I haven't heard what the final numbers were for this year, but I believe it will be even better than last years earnings. <br />

While this is happening in the gym, we also have a talent part that is happening on the stage in the cafe. It is one of the school's biggest events of the year. <br />

So, this is why I have had a little hiatus from blogging the last 4-5 months. I am relearning to juggle full time teaching and being a Mommy to 3 very busy girls! But, I am loving every minute of it, and I go to bed EVERY SINGLE NIGHT wiped out. I'm sure many of you can relate. <br />

But, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. Now to do my last minute Christmas shopping and packing for our trip. I'm grateful everyday for my wonderful life! Merry Christmas everyone, have a blessed and restful holiday.<br />

So now I'm just trying to get that done before they start waxing the floors of the hallway. We will see, hopefully it will all work out and painting is done before the floors are shiny and new looking. I sure don't want to make the custodians upset with me! I try to stay on their good side.</div>

This summer I hosted two art camps. The first camp was held in June and I decided on a Native American theme. This first project is also the portfolio pouch. That way everything goes home in a neat little packet. I also love this, because as a Mom that keeps everything, I can write the date on it and it makes it easier on me when I am putting work into a keepsake box. </div>

So this spring I was trying to be a tech savvy teacher and incorporate QR codes into the student art show. I researched and looked and researched some more. Each time feeling a bit overwhelmed and really disappointed. I DIDN'T want an ugly QR code next to all this wonderful work my students had created. I searched high and low for something more pleasant and attractive to add more content to the student show. Well, I love watching the videos with Principal Gerry and his Southern accent and his humorous out look on education. In one of his videos, he showed his music teacher's bulletin board and how she made it come to life with Aurasma. I knew instantly that my search was over! This was such a great tool. I wasn't sure how many I would be able to produce, so initially I said I would do 3-5 per grade level. This would have amounted to 18-30 kids with the Aurasma App added. It was so easy that once I had the 5 per grade level, I kept adding more. I ended up with 52. Next year, my goal is to add all the kids who are in the art show. So, if you are looking to add more to your art show, keep Aurasma in mind, I give it a thumbs up!!</div>

I remember sitting and having conversations with her about artist styles and what she was hoping the illustrations would be for some of her first books. <br />

She would give you the shirt off her back and not blink twice. She herself is a true artist. One of her personal favorites of her own collection of books is <i>Dream Something Big.</i> The story of the Italian immigrant Simon Rodia, who created the Watts Towers in California. It was an endeavor that would take thirty-four years to complete, made out of broken glass, seashells, pottery, any found object treasures. A really great book to use for the upcoming Earth Day on Friday, April 22. </div>

I had never seen Hundertwasser's homage to Van Gogh until several months ago. Or, most likely, I've seen it, but I saw it as an opportunity to teach my kids about two artist. It was also a great way to talk about how different artist can interpret something they see in two totally different ways. </div>

I love how bright and cheerful these turned out. These were done with 2nd graders, one of my larger classes, between 30-32 kids in a class. So, these took a little longer to complete. I had picked out several of his paintings that we would interpret in our own way. I think these came out great, definitely one of my favorites! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been studying Hundertwasser with my second grade classes. So, I picked out a few of his art pieces that we would recreate. <i>The Blob Grows in the Flower Pot</i> was one that everyone seemed to like, but there's a but. The faces in the images seemes to creep out most of the kids, I get it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I mean, it is a little creepy! So, we talked about taking the parts of the image that we did like and recreating those parts. Everyone was on board and when we were done, the kids were very happy with the end results.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8yj4gdS9jm69IarZQAW1Tf5U_f2L4u7YYqzI2TdRxrtel3HJzSAGrPYHDLJl0Puk5oemF9VhyphenhyphenZ71tbTb5tTUj5zSY0Za3Bd7i6BEJedsJPkiWx32JVrhOLAs6e6oMrMOs4rV3wu7s_8i6/s640/blogger-image--667430015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8yj4gdS9jm69IarZQAW1Tf5U_f2L4u7YYqzI2TdRxrtel3HJzSAGrPYHDLJl0Puk5oemF9VhyphenhyphenZ71tbTb5tTUj5zSY0Za3Bd7i6BEJedsJPkiWx32JVrhOLAs6e6oMrMOs4rV3wu7s_8i6/s640/blogger-image--667430015.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The end result looks more like lollipops in a mug, than flowers in a pot, but I don't think the kids minded that either. These pieces took us 4 class periods to complete, but... this is a really large class (32 second graders). Not to mentions they pack up their things, then come to art class right before they are dismissed for the day. So, I would normally say this is a 3 day project, unless you are over crowed like we are, then plan for 4 art days. </div>
