My school is bigger than ever (officially the largest elementary school in Nashville with over 950 students!), we are now large enough that we have three art teachers at our school, which is great! I have been team teaching with the new art teacher a lot, helping him learn the ropes. I have also been helping to train my other fellow art teachers in the new portfolio assessment, which has been interesting and time consuming to say the least. In addition to that, my friend Ted and I have led two art workshops as well, one on kindergarten art and one on green art. I am also in charge of our schools after school LEAPS program, so trying to stay on top of the training, payroll and student schedules has taken up a tremendous amount of time. I a now at school from 7:30 am until about 6:00 pm Monday thru Thursday, and normal time on Friday. I am by no means complaining, but only recently realized how crazy busy my life is, winter break can't come soon enough!!! <div><br></div><div>Anyways, now on to something fun! In my after school class, we played with "snow" and oil pastels. I had the students draw a fun snowy day picture, and then gave them the "snow" to add on. The snow is made from mixing equal amounts of shaving cream and Elmer's glue. The glue keeps the shaving cream from breaking down, and dries nicely, creating nice fluffy snow. Some of the kids tried rolling it into balls to make a 3D snowman, but that didn't work too well.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCA4kpg78aITJFWEmO8tjReC2pW4-thccJD5JnPMFkCKoqW-RIa5fdX8e8bo-zA1F9D7jhb5VvktETNGg0oyPZP72qOd_uyE2DoCp8BEsWUiaqon8o9r9GBNBSUTq91S8XKuZS8Y2pcl8/s640/blogger-image-1970907444.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCA4kpg78aITJFWEmO8tjReC2pW4-thccJD5JnPMFkCKoqW-RIa5fdX8e8bo-zA1F9D7jhb5VvktETNGg0oyPZP72qOd_uyE2DoCp8BEsWUiaqon8o9r9GBNBSUTq91S8XKuZS8Y2pcl8/s640/blogger-image-1970907444.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAUyjolGVOPI4qhtEOfE565tZqa7Y6ayCVOm9mREsUh3yduROAhlOcDlgdMfgWF6dcQjh7jKI9Wc7qeuiocITJvrT86zCsQNBp8oZiP2DyFXW_pyq4apzr5MF9fwmZAhQEagaAUsbdFoY/s640/blogger-image-1041152316.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAUyjolGVOPI4qhtEOfE565tZqa7Y6ayCVOm9mREsUh3yduROAhlOcDlgdMfgWF6dcQjh7jKI9Wc7qeuiocITJvrT86zCsQNBp8oZiP2DyFXW_pyq4apzr5MF9fwmZAhQEagaAUsbdFoY/s640/blogger-image-1041152316.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3W8onnDtoMW724PbEgfI-za-HuvMDKBMVf12JfR5uRz15oP_kbM6Ssjm59joEFYsf0H9Mk4QmnKadq9_j50wTSWv3LyG9MFk7a6PBa-S9AYlmqz8mnwEoUZxnPpeM5rWUOY_VAebqwyE/s640/blogger-image-336561090.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3W8onnDtoMW724PbEgfI-za-HuvMDKBMVf12JfR5uRz15oP_kbM6Ssjm59joEFYsf0H9Mk4QmnKadq9_j50wTSWv3LyG9MFk7a6PBa-S9AYlmqz8mnwEoUZxnPpeM5rWUOY_VAebqwyE/s640/blogger-image-336561090.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmkK8lpHYFy_t_9eTACkDUJ6Pr2ZUjhc4S3tTGJbRr6gFt7qVIvc0k1Cm0FAXHP3gUuKH0goirPZYNgOnrW8ZGMzebfRexx0dAwCZofE3coTwiZN0-h-DZsy1cvgAQKuPvws0BNV7BZs/s640/blogger-image-1639207582.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmkK8lpHYFy_t_9eTACkDUJ6Pr2ZUjhc4S3tTGJbRr6gFt7qVIvc0k1Cm0FAXHP3gUuKH0goirPZYNgOnrW8ZGMzebfRexx0dAwCZofE3coTwiZN0-h-DZsy1cvgAQKuPvws0BNV7BZs/s640/blogger-image-1639207582.jpg"></a></div></div>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07482999815409590004noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-33510154415215800082013-08-04T17:32:00.000-07:002013-08-04T17:32:03.960-07:00Back to school time!Well, it's back to school time here in Nashville. I went back on July 29th, and kids came back for a half day on August 1st. Tomorrow, the 5th is the kids first full day, and my first day for classes. I decided to keep my eclectic monster/alien theme for my classroom this year, and just tweaked a few things. I expanded my word wall (it used to be on the back of the door) and also created a whole board focused on the rubric that I use to grade the student's artwork. I do reference the rubric when I explain the projects that I expect the students to create. Above the marker board, I have the visual standards posted, and plan on hanging the objectives for the various lessons on this board as well.<br />

The door was fun to decorate. I don't typically buy too many store bought decorations, but I found a cute monster set (the monsters above the marker board that are holding the standards) online. It came with something like 24' of border, but when I got it, the border was a solid sheet, and was not easily torn apart, even though it was perforated. So I used it in my cricut and cut out the letters for the creativity part of the door. I also put the pink alien on the door, because pink is my absolute least favorite color, and I wouldn't be able to see it with the door closed. Lol!<br />

This year, my school is focusing on three main rules, which are be respectful, be responsible, and be safe. My rule area says "Out of this world artists are respectful, responsible and safe. They..." And then under each of the main headings are more defined rules, such as follow all directions, use inside voices, etc<br />

Anyways, now that some big things have been taken off of my plate, now I have time to post some pictures. One of the major things that I was dealing with was a school-wide art show. There are two art teachers here at my school, but with almost 900 students, this is still a lot of work. Most of my classes displayed their prints, but the kindergarteners displayed their bugs, and the third graders had photo collages up. <br />

He tried, and posted some of his results, and now it is my turn. I tried using a variety of glass pieces, from marbles, mosaic tiles, the glass "wafers" that are used in plant arrangements, millefiori glass pieces and even a variety of glass beads, including faceted beads, seed beads of a variety of sizes, bugle beads, and some square beads I had.<br />

I fired to cone 04 since Ted said he had some pieces where the glass popped out. Some pieces were glazed, and some were not. I was very excited to see how they turned out, so I came in over the weekend to open the kiln, and was surprised to find that every piece survived. Here are some of the results...<br />

In my classroom, I have my paper area. I am very lucky that one of my parents works for a publishing company, and at least once a year I am lucky enough to receive a huge paper donation. This is the paper that I use for the "free draw" box. When the students are finished with their project, they are allowed to get free draw paper and draw whatever they want. Now comes the frustrating part. I have a box clearly labeled with "free draw" on it as shown below. But there are always at least 5 students in every class that always grabs the good drawing paper instead. I have discussed this numerous times with the students, and they all can tell me where the free draw paper is, but there are always a few that just won't do it. when I talk to them about it, they always respond with "oh, I didn't know". My question is how can I possibly make it any more obvious? I don't have the room to move the paper somewhere else, or to keep the good paper locked up. Grrrrr...... <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3XQc0wCmhSFRkgb-log6YRZvDKEaC32asjNrNXGSV29DFbHP5IpYxDwdF6YjE1p0r6mYA415TsvTDrATLkrMCwzWEO0TNvzGzi57GdcunF-dNvydT_n6oFXCF3TxMZQh0_P4emq_JYrQ/s640/blogger-image-1890971115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3XQc0wCmhSFRkgb-log6YRZvDKEaC32asjNrNXGSV29DFbHP5IpYxDwdF6YjE1p0r6mYA415TsvTDrATLkrMCwzWEO0TNvzGzi57GdcunF-dNvydT_n6oFXCF3TxMZQh0_P4emq_JYrQ/s640/blogger-image-1890971115.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9LydVxL8pY43uB3rJMFVzh9fUgm9ZXcWWlW4zoVLizU6ix8e0irfN8H98PUH-CoURrnj9EZRhxVlWnAkNJkys4tktFcVc3h8IGJUAXpAlly8mGNCEjMESXkByk7zN77a1BHI5ffwgPho/s640/blogger-image--564032851.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9LydVxL8pY43uB3rJMFVzh9fUgm9ZXcWWlW4zoVLizU6ix8e0irfN8H98PUH-CoURrnj9EZRhxVlWnAkNJkys4tktFcVc3h8IGJUAXpAlly8mGNCEjMESXkByk7zN77a1BHI5ffwgPho/s640/blogger-image--564032851.jpg" /></a></div>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07482999815409590004noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-9438448980398392472012-09-20T07:17:00.001-07:002012-09-20T07:17:59.486-07:00Sometimes I forget...I still have not learned my schedule yet this year, partly because it has changed, partly because I have missed almost 2 weeks of school, so the other day when I pulled paintings off of the drying rack, I could not remember whose class the projects belonged to. So I decided to make some markers for my drying rack to help me. I took small pieces of cardstock and wrote all of my class names on them. I also wrote the grade level in the top corner, and the day(s) that they come to my room in the bottom corner. I laminated them, and then punched a hole in the corner and used a small piece of pipe cleaner to make a "hook". Now, when the students put their artwork on the drying rack, I know exactly who the artwork belongs to!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFFmLKGITTIEEuSifNKI_SUAaVbhWnmTc_SXkhfMsmQUxTXVM4MIwAJ6rAhUfNBT4n2jn9h7qEFBDBKI_rEd17w-2ofVjlYpRZq1xpyijaPK9j9oLADQt_N7yYi5AuYNaKt3FLFKFWGYs/s640/blogger-image-580809926.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFFmLKGITTIEEuSifNKI_SUAaVbhWnmTc_SXkhfMsmQUxTXVM4MIwAJ6rAhUfNBT4n2jn9h7qEFBDBKI_rEd17w-2ofVjlYpRZq1xpyijaPK9j9oLADQt_N7yYi5AuYNaKt3FLFKFWGYs/s640/blogger-image-580809926.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5n7lISArlPS4WUyiSe0mvUX9ZziFYe7zScC_ZkmDIn4tyPb1uK8n-68dlHe-9kdubm0HZeTT09NJTbk5CTrWMbiRa7IHIIptgm-Lv-m3XR6JdDjG6rqnFCMkSHikInTKsM366EAgGexs/s640/blogger-image--809608285.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5n7lISArlPS4WUyiSe0mvUX9ZziFYe7zScC_ZkmDIn4tyPb1uK8n-68dlHe-9kdubm0HZeTT09NJTbk5CTrWMbiRa7IHIIptgm-Lv-m3XR6JdDjG6rqnFCMkSHikInTKsM366EAgGexs/s640/blogger-image--809608285.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCadKyRjZrCMPqWBLtGmWrmMUlrHSPeY31Zkn2VmRSvlf2mADnzMdyGJfz5fHic9AfRgt_kRRFbs4B457X-90lr4TdOIPykOerOKSPQQPIVdNLd-gcNivgesY-rV4que3fGacfDnYwUs/s640/blogger-image--294348811.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCadKyRjZrCMPqWBLtGmWrmMUlrHSPeY31Zkn2VmRSvlf2mADnzMdyGJfz5fHic9AfRgt_kRRFbs4B457X-90lr4TdOIPykOerOKSPQQPIVdNLd-gcNivgesY-rV4que3fGacfDnYwUs/s640/blogger-image--294348811.jpg" /></a></div>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07482999815409590004noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-69935464649427600862012-09-19T09:11:00.001-07:002012-09-19T09:17:38.176-07:00Crazy beginning of the school year!It has been quite a school year already, I almost want to start over. My school is almost 100 students over projected numbers, so we have been adding classes and moving students like mad, which means that my schedule has changed as well. Due to personal reasons, I have had to miss about a week and a half of school, and now it is close to the end of the 9 weeks and I am scrambling to get the 3rd and 4th graders projects finished for their upcoming art show. Phew! <br />
On a good note though, the second graders are finishing up their collage projects, and they are turning out well. First the students tissue paper collaged a 9x12 piece of paper for the background. Then they traced their hands on a thicker piece of paper. We took about 20 minutes to brainstorm words that describe personal qualities, which the students then write all over their hands with sharpies. The students then cut their hands out and attached spacers (some plastic beads that were donated to the art room) on the back of their hand, and then glued them to their background. Many of the teachers have been impresses with the range of descriptive words the students have come up with.<br />

The teachers had to come back July 27 and the students came back Aug. 1. I have been crazy busy setting up my room this year. All of the tiles in my room were removed due to asbestos, so my entire room had to be packed up as if I were moving rooms. As well as new tiles, my room was re-painted. They matched to colors of my room, and did a much better job than I did last summer, probably because I am so short that even standing on the ladder, I had to use a paintbrush taped to the end of the broom handle (lol!). Anyways, I just realized that I forgot to take pictures of my room until today.the black and blue quote board is in the hallway, and the inspiration comes from Painted Paper's blog. The other bulletin boards are in my room. One of the boards has my "kid friendly" standards on it. These are the TN standards re-written in language that the students understand. Our new teacher evaluation requires that we post the standards and objectives in the room, and this is how I have chosen to display them. The large monster was a gift from my friend Ted (Mr. E) last year. My students have named her big Bertha, and she sits on top of the student storage area, reminding everyone to put their names on their paper.<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIw4TxXBatEytSdguKWBF-0KZLt6yCselkvjJVW8FyrZFMp666JQUYH4n1XahpoAoQwkTjWcOlN2qhhWQoal-wVkZuW7PyTQv1P43z8Ewj1rC0yEgHjzJNS6ncOaq_R0d8kFtdrvHK19s/s640/blogger-image-1457356666.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I figured since all of the students are starting to get antsy, we should make some bugs. They had a blast, and the parents were very pleased. Even the teachers have been commenting about the bright and cheerful pests (I of course mean the art bugs, not the children!) We created the bugs by folding a 9x12 piece of paper in half, and the the students picked three colors to add to their paper, making sure that they picked colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel. Once we added the tempera paint we re-folded the papers and then opened them to dry. The next class time we cut out around the paint, and then added heads, legs, and wiggle eyes. My older students were so jealous!<br />

After the generous help of Mr. Gilley, one of our PE teachers (he dug the holes and sunk the "stems" for us) some of my second and third grade students helped to install the flowers today. The students did a fantastic job! While we were installing them today, we had many people stopping to look at them. There are a total of 18 flowers, three in each alcove of the school. Later on this month, volunteers are coming to place new mulch around them, and maybe add some real flowers as well. The front of our school is now very cheerful. They were a lot of work, but well worth it!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN2n11El9unW8REk14lV-PIZ3IjUKkfL6yKXJw1OfxBuKpyTFRqjOM-jk4Z8ORkrn6Go7H5V4NrhfxIeZXihPGcqc7D93VWDRmEXJd8U65gltRbF6DG3o9jEA020pPXeZkrBvwZ218WFs/s1600/088.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN2n11El9unW8REk14lV-PIZ3IjUKkfL6yKXJw1OfxBuKpyTFRqjOM-jk4Z8ORkrn6Go7H5V4NrhfxIeZXihPGcqc7D93VWDRmEXJd8U65gltRbF6DG3o9jEA020pPXeZkrBvwZ218WFs/s320/088.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730321027211878706" /></a><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxsrFOQmV2lky_-4f9qeiPmDxpyIFSfNB2hoUN171bE7BU8RQiqoKAxQlTV9u0TBZ_i4-LowcRAfLLqdnj9GEMNKp_W3x5wviN7ow3Hb9eCdQWuIPZHqW5jf7YcaiVEoUbb_uYBx_4VS0/s320/087.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730315863250877106" /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNMxOIyTyUtUP6x4N4oYJA19YaSDaboWg3OBXntIT8fj08OwEqMo7KAydW8r1zE0x08FDNQ7pVYOxbCAH1G0T6zxlKowtihqGFcVlEq58VFd4U9jCP328PWi6YAAqLfAMA4I2U6LwGKaM/s320/084.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730315844464501794" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS059ENA0qOC28-4_YlL_sBGQprzRj-eQH3NSU2qfjZg00PjL5_i4p8adZSyRje_0hXqFz0z27Bxoztd5WZ9WD0cVgESxMIKL5nteLGb5Uo_yCbhaPghXnrz4P6wyXsdBn0RElqT_HCnc/s320/086.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730315852801758418" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_hm8avSXSH_OZnBeStQswWtKjnGoDiSuaTkKxIk-ossoUpyDEWO2qm_xvg7nUhwNU15ioxrd1059rnZpTaX9KMszp4LRI5W9edyPn3LQx3Y5mpM1SiTa-54hRzBdQO3uIQ4Blacpsv38/s320/080.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730315834564964178" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgURlD5HhSFYuyQBIKA3eWnqD-b6Pj67eBdZucXqQN8OOi2vxxh5PRqDVNm2zhX3AU1zaXjF6lxa9Fmx6kRUG_NXEKcAC9ko7AEuWZx7kP3yqcfaeJ_uWaAOXT-jY12dz9Bowf-Qy1RoGY/s320/082.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730315839705043666" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoPTAY0g-hDBzqszEgV0jr9PfkM4h0ZBsnUtiM9pThQogv8EsbBEBf80BXOE94WgchaSCXK8xkzzD4D14a3pt0tuHQvDTbVLBZAVjqMhmMnTlMclVDZXt5AXPG8G7Xbk1X4FxcAdhOEmc/s320/094.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730321038351599202" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZkUMR0kv5InzJPh2urISRdBGThmQi5Lp0sDIAe8wXgCu9ufg6Qm9W7nMu8ZNg6D4b3dM_X3HaTwcPkN49JP-AtKvpWXVElX4GtdZIjuRmCEUeyUrOI9kakMKH2jMmsCOx9adEVQ6dVc/s320/095.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730321419967265346" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipUESVoQrdUB8NZtr8xdXwzqt9JYjFNfzdZwAfso6YF1vFrpQBJ78JbMd6kHyL7hvC_bHWiKDBXE1UzJU8D6_1iNhGGBPC0f8jVsDKu6rg-oo7yXusTPNec1uaFaqlCG8c_xEFa7_onsc/s320/089.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730321043004601090" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDB4kM-t_gh7_AWmfvTpuYEa8tXQ8ZbBxphJ_3G4Xh05Vi8sUUMcMyH_SGzhxI7uHTnKUl_5V3Zt5oCy9KHNllyS_d_47ZfLUR2ab_uFMITxG_8zC0AF4anv2yB5FxjI3YM9s-3dkP2lA/s320/098.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730321424760320322" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " />Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07482999815409590004noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-72708227462837680162012-03-26T18:44:00.004-07:002012-03-26T19:18:32.929-07:00Sneak Peek!<span ><span style="font-size: 100%;">All of my classes have been working on a series of sculptures for our school. In the front of the school are 6 alcoves where the windows for the classrooms on the front of the building are. We have tried planting all sorts of things there, plants, bushes, etc. but we can't get anything to grow due to the lack of easy access to water. So after some research, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I found the website of Michelle and Nathan Stitzlein </span></span><a href="http://www.artgrange.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; ">http://www.artgrange.com/</a><span ><span style="font-size: 100%;"> and found some amazing pictures of bottlecap murals that Michelle has done with a variety of schools. I decided that bottlecap flowers might just be the thing we need for the alcoves. So at the beginning of the school year I sent a letter home to all parents asking them to save plastic lids. All year long the students brought them in (they are still coming in even after we are almost finished! Ted (Mr. E of Art with Mr. E) I have a bunch of caps for your next project! LOL! Anyway... we finally had enough to start. I bought four sheets of plywood and drew out flowers and leaves. Our school nurse graciously volunteered her husband to come and cut them out. Then I had a couple of helpers come in over the weekend to prime the wood. </span></span><div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPgjxw7n0nDTIEIVe41wdgnL5CDj2RXEoofLhaWJq4j0V2uowtpDMBcvr5EIPy1fQcZD95DA5o8naty2C8N5nLLywIDKACndUx3y4P1ObnMjBAzw0tq2wu6tZ5gQGiyibyOp_N6QRz2vI/s320/009.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724387112893703970" style="font-size: 100%; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLfrcyjxf7Ii7SwiAL-iWE_E9wX0L5mnZ7vhb6QV5eQyk7pzKAx8nomqJ8ihlMjTvWvJghl6nWCFYqHvi5gmy6fPw1ip-91JdaRA55XgwXEBJ_OoqaU40N9a3m8PeQRwNVoCAZncLMEyc/s320/006.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724387097748674610" style="font-size: 100%; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></div><div><span ><span style="font-size: 100%;"> While they were doing that, one of my loyal minions started sorting the bottlecaps by color.

Finally, it was the right time. This 9 weeks, the kindergarteners have been working on textures. We have talked about both tactile and visual textures, and worked with crayon rubbings, and clay that we pressed textures into. I finally decided to pull this project out, although I did change it slightly. The project above revolved around both the favorite foods of the students as well as the texture, but I wanted my students to focus on just the texture aspect of the project.

Plox is a finely shredded paper product for collages, the kids loved it. I put all of the supplies on an empty table, gave the students empty cups to carry their supplies in, as well as the paper "buns" and brown construction paper. Then I let them go at it. It was slightly messy, but the kids were very excited, and when some of the students told their teachers what they were doing, I had one teacher show up to make her own!</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfgZL1G2UnYrL9q4y2pjGyHxykg3tghfDdFBZ4ooHB9rcjMQtUHaLBe2Vgce1xVtT0JbbzExkxFxS__LQbK6WD62lM8q-50xssBuVuCLu9458UrWBl1sLlLwcUQ9QowAk1Y022zLC_tig/s1600/011.JPG" style="font-size: 100%; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfgZL1G2UnYrL9q4y2pjGyHxykg3tghfDdFBZ4ooHB9rcjMQtUHaLBe2Vgce1xVtT0JbbzExkxFxS__LQbK6WD62lM8q-50xssBuVuCLu9458UrWBl1sLlLwcUQ9QowAk1Y022zLC_tig/s320/011.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716983821778409826" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn5BGknsw0ou54Uj-GB-LUh7sn3irq6Sl2bk_6EqQOsGXtfU4FqHvJ8lhc5BTPv0BCkzo9caKpRNsxYX2bbTIqvCuzB2YNMwIrIq5XRC0ct2QGn73m1wE3svE7SU05TJdEsAodpMYwh9k/s320/015.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716983835528490018" style="font-size: 100%; cursor: pointer; width: 111px; height: 320px; " /><span style="font-size: 100%; "> </span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiupiEXELTJtarf-0ZonkLo_0izMYVixGWzg5B_MKHz0jvBd2UARqbrQskZYRUE5BzzQZM3Rmd7KKpNUNal1wkgzbEdXC_BjRptpK3CB3r-MxFVRBjUOfV8AO4SS8VAfolSOhETh8LenHg/s320/014.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716983837532852146" style="font-size: 100%; cursor: pointer; width: 118px; height: 320px; " /><span style="font-size: 100%; "> </span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPo0beDodMSoJP9qXMIsR0PIkJDNzDkedX-RWSq-UaUbHszsKrMWAnLLcpMV5M9-zhM4qnZTUxwiFpmR00IqXO9tlUFiO9ib2N1Gu8V2TA5SyQ66UI26-9rXWQnqc33gj7f-tYf-y2V1c/s320/013.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716983823677423938" style="font-size: 100%; cursor: pointer; width: 122px; height: 320px; " /></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span ><span style="font-size: 100%;">Now that my supply of "goodies" has been depleted, I will need to start saving for next year, since I am </span>definitely<span style="font-size: 100%;"> doing this project again.

This month, my classes at Lakeview will be working on some fun projects, including bottle cap flowers for outside the building. To kick off the month, I redid the door to the classroom, as well as one of the bulletin boards in the front of the building. Since the focus is on the art of the students, that is what I used to create these displays.</div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVgtIZiOmsrTSupxUa51SoOq6uLVSOmDv7nsPKwl4fu6hwr1TUWNN41viPzY8j39pQbNhf6rYwTUkQisD5UuSfQEm6QMTygyr3F6pwJ41pmd4IJW9cDhiASzDlxeKlPpnRKgMV6p7wNw/s320/016.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716981518397744274" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSLnnNA8ssBgHcjSpKzK2nNXBOWrOEu0-7i0X0I0jhqMoXqMlMjg35tGQGD6BLIv6E-vmMNO9OGRKjL7eAaB__E53Bp4EA_EaoieMFqg1gWob7mGVWJiWHj44aUXVy8PI01wkQRsk1fCE/s320/019.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716981524585320178" /><br />I also have a lot of art to hang! My plan is to have an "unofficial" school-wide (at least my classes) art show. We have not had a whole school art show in two years, instead, we have individual grade level shows the same time as the music programs. We are continuing this process this year, but I miss the "big" art show, so here comes the unofficial one!Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07482999815409590004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-61682443391182683552012-02-13T21:09:00.001-08:002012-02-13T21:17:52.981-08:001st grade monster pinch pots<div style="text-align: left;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; ">The first grade curriculum for this 9 weeks calls for the students to make a pinch pot. I decided that we would take the pinch pots and turn them into monsters. I gave each student a ball of clay, and taught them how to create their pinch pots, by sticking their thumb into the ball of clay, and then "quacking" (pinching) their clay, thereby forming a pinch pot. Next, we turned them sideways, and added eyes, teeth, tongues, hair, horns and other assorted parts to create our monsters. After firing, the students painted their monsters. I am in the process of putting them in the display case now. Here are a few of them I thought you might enjoy. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;

We made two books, the first an accordion fold book with hard cover, and a flag book. I started the teachers off by having them use shaving cream and liquid watercolor to marbleize paper for the covers of the flag book. Just so you know... this was hysterical...shaving cream was everywhere... and threats of shaving cream facials were volleyed about... but they did a great job. While the papers were drying, we worked on the accordion book, and then the flag book. The teachers had a lot of fun, we even had some student teachers join in. Everyone was discussing how the books could be used in their classrooms. It was so satisfying to listen in on the collaboration that was happening in the room!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj471wIoGBFIgLrAc4XpJ4Ra5_-9ElPxmYFZjsBxaRwOhqluNsDCBm36xnOdQK7uNALlnOiQyLYDbG5IzL85hxsGXZQOe6Z7ZT4P5stPRFUMupqwjyW-9q8vjWWTmtxd4TgOGQ5dG-LKbM/s1600/051.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

The students learned how to make all kinds of lines and glued them to a base. They were so pleased with them, and begged me to let them take them home right then. Of course I let them (I didn't tell them that I didn't have room to store them...hee hee).Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07482999815409590004noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-81863088329815325242011-12-24T05:00:00.000-08:002011-12-23T05:22:27.972-08:00A look at what I have been doing for the last 2 months...<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnnrhZtu7wbz5V9TmZxy6-eXbYx7pcOuO9kI04NOBmcnAV416WhEMbFvHaHF3qST0_Tm4CC3SqZx6JWDa2OsLzEfOknhv0YGgcbr8jSIpIuFo_HKggYfXz41TR3YFlFud0QpSJWy8Fq795/s400/Dsc07130.jpg" /> <div>I have been spending the last two months working on my sister's Christmas present. She is one of those people who can be hard to buy for because if she wants something, she just goes and buys it. One day I was online looking at pictures of nothing important when a came across a picture of a video game character made from Perler beads. These are the beads that you put on the pegboards and iron them to fuse them together. My sister loves video games, and I thought, how cool would it be to make a video game Christmas tree for her. So I started researching, and was amazed by how popular the Perler beads were in the gaming and geek community! I found hundreds of pictures of video game related items, some of which were just a few inches tall to some that are six feet tall! I picked out some great pictures, and started creating. Two months and 100 items later, I am done. I gave my sister her tree and wall decorations early, since it wouldn't fit under the tree at my parents' house. I set up the tree in her library/video game room while she was at work, and waited until she came home. She was so excited, she squeed like a little girl! The picture of her and the tree is the only picture I have of her that is clear, she was bouncing around a lot!<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJq8EKiXDc57dYnIevN8t2ae3j_qA-gjQlf0A2yuh912jSSg6SsvPa8L0eQ1c8msm6DAr6RWxJPtvmgsxjmm7eZm4_SrZTVm-zlW2JNkoY5XHkZFlLaU8IEQXhIP9Nb3Zosg2HN-lZerA/s320/394.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689308726883734642" style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7F0gUBIkpf6g4yMUMor04pvAQtgS0CrTdPzzeg3SrMz2yBgCh6eLWzAP_Axm3yUPG3lVMZAxGFQjRmAr7oigmI7GFE68FaNVMLEZ6pbok6J8gBzVF0wlAtZ-7veAEWyED2K24Xx8Yi-I/s320/427.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689309416456412498" style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0MH8rQ1_GkOfj9RDAvDkRr1_3MvGXsjRbf0lziLKJWJTDLoAT2fvksUXGFz9uvXmfq5eX7Gw6M3w1mzAKn1AiNML6FeBfwCob8HDtZLOmRReEZhLX3KwWO5XAtPbw406cPsD9MmrCDHQ/s320/399.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689308728473407970" style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiduyWpWO9eUIogeHZs_qR9NTymgp2cLcX3QseN04ANnHNqPtu6DIm2Va6yxHwylzoGSJT1Sa_Hq0VBQ3e4zcmryEYrdkZYSt1zOV2sGtAB6QdAc2FAjbP5Wi8BV8GTVUAdv0mleuTM7gk/s320/404.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689308748146594770" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdqm6K743PtMKGsyFKSdXtebuf6dq7SubCGoJD9zOAgWSRkLNN4J7WayEMqFsD_d89dyJDAjriNkfy6lR_jEw4qIarEB0fx6PlfmwIeg6DTVv1m8FZgjUYdsY-2tudIRmrOfZ8E8gfkBo/s320/403.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689308732320855282" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufpztmLGhlKGCSQ3jkZOIVdDJNYzALllNnCBGhy0foG4Lit-zmjOBt50ONcL2ercZDgfOe189enF57c7Xnjk4-KP7hwXEUEcutHvKoiZ-p2SD7uW1EC4Hf2-CruPLtbFVAD6WVXDbmvw/s320/420.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689308752528265426" style="text-align: left; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJVf3lwuE-Jzpaa2WpLLdbQ8fiISVNAlJyPxG5OrYvW-TSM_1y-9lRVowwydRNEI-w4VVjiMwGnYXFKuddNaqOLlX9odTa63I6khBIac1c4AUUTxeneEgM1lteChGCoDnBex_ZZlziIBI/s320/435.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689309438085542866" style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px; " /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmn6yYei1yurgmBZ2S-IKtcq1MKn8f58SRegDrKT9F6yTosgpv7uXbVd3tctCDQvRd__q593mcxuyTw6xCLUPyaJt2m8A8vy0G7p74I4dki9Po1h8YEnwTmRsQiZS6aprG_klkETW-FKU/s320/432.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689309433587111730" style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihB5_HmFP4Z7OGyST58Qce9b2-yENpGto63XTPRX_QiQd7PAoZwxmk40FgZDOUqTbPyfeSdVAMIDBhapR43migJXN4m9DyTp7VmJtWikmGTKHYCc3gZpf5ipCLoh-HLUXY3M5vn5FBHEU/s320/428.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689309422710420578" style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4zyY8K4h8fnBrK8Mv_RVzbvSCkYmxVXuSrjfTEAMD3baUJXZ_BFShhZOwpzRRe6B_OvmnmNgYQQEnp8xjr94HaGm-LRBoqZ_U_HIgd_v7lxEBPRroE6adTSX7pUIWG8nnOqyoWgyHv0s/s320/431.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689309431878693154" style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px; " /></div><div><br /><br /></div>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07482999815409590004noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-42731795898225505672011-12-23T04:52:00.000-08:002011-12-23T04:58:55.229-08:00Circle Weaving<div>My third graders have been circle weaving, and they love it! It is always a fight every year to get them to stop, and throughout the rest of the year, they will ask if they can do another one.

I have many snowmen lessons that I do, but decided to research on pinterest for some new ones. I found a great one here: <a href="http://mrsjacksonsartroom.blogspot.com/">http://mrsjacksonsartroom.blogspot.com/</a> (you gotta love pinterest!) Anyway... I fell in love with it, and had to have my students make them. So, 92 snowmen later this is what we had for the art show, and let me tell you, the parents LOVED them! Just in case you were wondering why they were not all in a straight row, they were hung on a wall where there was a ramp and handrails, so they had to be staggered in order to not go behind the hand rail. Unfortunately, I am not tall enough to hang them high enough that this wouldn't be a problem. I'm still waiting on my last growth spurt... it just hasn't come yet!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 305px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCxoD-qo2CMfOT8tFRqsTP8vR4PmBST5Bf9RLrVuf3huBOG9qcmaRe2yxvvgHiFMvHSh_ly3mDGEU3iepf6OlkzKaxQBLgb3rH23zN0vzq0pOgmj0hcK7sFHspdBBfKdrrwbIzFBw9xTs/s320/026.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685826832683915074" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqxjfV6JX75t9e2C3HZ-R7CMyeiGKZ2JIwb3A3thN6dHpYfCTt8PA36MK8_l9eArWdV-9Hs0pUBVnCkmQJsuCnK5ab_IW27LWO8-ShvA584Z5r5e64x-hFb6Q25nEVPxCcpkR8eBKjNeQ/s320/038.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685827063080069714" style="cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 320px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGCO29HFC-zuhZdanXiUsFceKm9I6Jc9EGF_mpIuZbWaFGrRhyr_7QdblpYlWd8v77c2WhWOzF9US-g-4MeE6tsiO_-XzFcWW0a6ss2X5IOOJNb7KeLV7wYimHKYWlfBJfT4VbucwiDSw/s320/037.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685827054177358146" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 300px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcm8k1qHd0R3XWM_jPR8KamLzewwfChp3bONWA_E9nx4uR1tQu7gm1MwRaUxvUDPnMZmtFIr_xFtQCABECPJYwb2_wihbPQ4CdKvUNpf2Qbm4Iiso_sXqOwPrdB9j7K1J4a2_RmcTCsOs/s320/036.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685827042618057106" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 315px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdz71VatpwQIn6Vkjb_rtpBVqpyTHqd2fdZHXzLqE2bMJO88xm0UNUK6CItpce8tmIQkQcbcpcZ9gDHFO8LIPHNJ9ladvSltB97evIlRJkpYMmzmWoivhOkGiuKqDafKYqNcKPA7wBFck/s320/032.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685827040455001618" style="cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 320px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg35ZpdoT_a4-GTTXp73AhlpjUC7Z_ZdWKsPN_MsWnBizSFqxLhSh2kxyug9nklKAwLMviApEfArwqCxkLRn6WStb-fNauHiLulJDL2LrGU9oABJpCa6Q438iwbx_fKsQ-nyTQ3Dp0Vk74/s320/031.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685826858865305506" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 304px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPI-HFa1yPqkKx5PBNLjQUj9cgaVQQ49hdCfjWj2WJhIe-rJvEsWFfQgSWCvO2w5CnRM4lTheOom5jIjBOeUAWePwPreQgENnTcdD0wVfGwlGmED_t0SybpyQSXfvDh0Wp3nRAks3Nt5M/s320/030.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685826857318988450" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 303px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuCnB5LKxTQ-AXftN_qlfpJn75h2Im9VnypPtF3WOYMAyYo7-w-uPSIc4fh1PQ9zYEX7Gk2XmeRvD_xz5W3BJEOBzKN9OtCqendyvb32Ds0xi8D0YMsiDm6yyY3UE77dBWvZ0U7c6yK3Y/s320/028.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685826848119272370" style="cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 320px; " /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixUhKh-UWEkPAX_WusQrd0hkWJ1de0G_0-GTFd6hUrrYznI0-b4U7OKEV_gYhn_chUx1GJyHC7-zwcL90Nri3018PHuOLaaP6VHT8ylyYweK5WoRrCa8QX6kSa_VS9aW-XmCf_QzIL9Uk/s1600/027.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixUhKh-UWEkPAX_WusQrd0hkWJ1de0G_0-GTFd6hUrrYznI0-b4U7OKEV_gYhn_chUx1GJyHC7-zwcL90Nri3018PHuOLaaP6VHT8ylyYweK5WoRrCa8QX6kSa_VS9aW-XmCf_QzIL9Uk/s320/027.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685826836460337138" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 317px; " /></a></div>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07482999815409590004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-88596386462864308332011-12-08T20:19:00.001-08:002011-12-08T20:31:43.692-08:00Secret Snowmen<div>I stayed after school today to hang all of the faculty and staff snowmen today, and there was an amazing turnout. We had a grand total of 47 snowmen, way more than I ever expected! What was a lot of fun was watching the teachers come by and try to guess them all. At one point, there were 10 teachers pointing out snowmen and excitedly calling out their answers. It was hysterical.

I am going to ask the children to guess which teacher made which snowman, and have a prize for the student getting the most answers right. I wasn't sure how many teachers would participate, we have approximately 75 teachers plus staff at our school, but with the holidays, observations, and high stress levels, I only expected maybe 15 snowmen to show up in my mailbox or on my desk. Well, I was totally surprised! As of right now I have 41 snowmen to put up in the hallway, with a few more coming tomorrow. I thought I would give everyone a sneak peek at my snowman, since I think it will be pretty obvious, but once I have the snowmen put up in the hall, I will post pics of the others as well.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHLqucxyicUmdxPsGKxRpHOtLxm5K2sxGm5HHVjpOEaNmIJ7iCjibebN_YBAh1zYDIyjCL8HrbizfGa7mhg3QiMdCeupMM1nvm_YngGiDptwEhFI6R4AwIbHVejlLlXJlCq8DDxv5NlLI/s320/photo.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683583450895599538" style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></div>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07482999815409590004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-33366777107162795732011-11-08T19:05:00.001-08:002011-11-08T19:30:57.646-08:00Shaving Cream Peacocks<div style="text-align: left;">My school has started an after school enrichment/tutoring program called LEAPS, which stands for Lottery for Education: Afterschool Programs. This program gives the school opportunities to have after school enrichment activities that enhance and reinforce the schools curriculum. Both myself and the other art teacher at my school, Mr. Stephens, have been allowed to have an art club. Between the two of us, there are 2 art clubs offered each day, Monday through Thursday. I have the Monday/Wednesday classes, and he has the Tuesday/Thursday classes. The classes are small for now, and we each have another teacher in the room with us. I have been having a blast with the classes. With only 5-7 kids at a time, you can do so much more and get even messier. The first project that we did is the shaving cream peacocks that are pictured below. I sprayed shaving cream on the tables and let the kids play in it for a few. Then I showed the students how to splatter and drip liquid watercolors onto the paint, and then use the back end of a brush to drag through the shaving cream to marbleize the paint. Then we pressed watercolor paper into the shaving cream, lifted it off and scraped off the shaving cream. We did this twice, making sure to have some areas that were more blue for the body in the second print. The next week, we cut the paper up into peacock shapes, and added construction paper in for added contrast. Everything was outlined with sharpies, and of course we had to glue on wiggle eyes. They really liked making the eyes two different sizes and colors! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWFSRUW1UyqRrgzkc8oJ8ejCRsD5Nw5LhnHY6vc-E87j2g7wxy7eT0Kfrf6qmLjBUdVLm9FvMiGXk81-RMzpEgOx32UBTdDHnA9wf_0UlWCK04WD8uceWm88SoNDF8YhqlmVtHMp_l4Po/s1600/025.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWFSRUW1UyqRrgzkc8oJ8ejCRsD5Nw5LhnHY6vc-E87j2g7wxy7eT0Kfrf6qmLjBUdVLm9FvMiGXk81-RMzpEgOx32UBTdDHnA9wf_0UlWCK04WD8uceWm88SoNDF8YhqlmVtHMp_l4Po/s320/025.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672827155835800626" /></a><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VQjlUJjxDxtX8fvIT-xZfVfiZdVfDXtPiLXQ2K2tbwkprGbsGX62uctx2MEEV2wzDmfTWlxnWaS5peWj-Jq91joIO368ZpMM6ZqrtSYo8Ry1W5nox3d0XkhWO5CU7Slr3chOGVpl6QA/s320/024.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672827145997228146" style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL-_ERRhhnro8zEXyMugDJdWyKZPUmC7EGzXTbWhHoVi1jTqOs6eEU9LOSIYQyOvKgLipMY2YNuT-fM2j_orxefnTUsQbcM5hnfqsXyE3b-gQpjektdKE-akI7PCwbuFfcHIHa0TG48cI/s1600/023.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL-_ERRhhnro8zEXyMugDJdWyKZPUmC7EGzXTbWhHoVi1jTqOs6eEU9LOSIYQyOvKgLipMY2YNuT-fM2j_orxefnTUsQbcM5hnfqsXyE3b-gQpjektdKE-akI7PCwbuFfcHIHa0TG48cI/s1600/023.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL-_ERRhhnro8zEXyMugDJdWyKZPUmC7EGzXTbWhHoVi1jTqOs6eEU9LOSIYQyOvKgLipMY2YNuT-fM2j_orxefnTUsQbcM5hnfqsXyE3b-gQpjektdKE-akI7PCwbuFfcHIHa0TG48cI/s320/023.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672827142130472354" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have a lot more projects planned such as origami, toilet paper tube creations, three dimensional stars and more.

I finally decided to create the "Lakeview Design Center Teacher Art Club", in order to fulfill this want/need. I had 14 teachers come to this month's meeting. We created acrylic landscape paintings on canvas board. It was very interesting and amusing to listen to the teachers, most of which insisted that they were not artistic at all, as they sounded a lot like my students. I did not put an example on the board right away, because as we art teachers know, I would have had 14 copies of the example. Instead, I talked them through the drawing of the landscape (a simple farm scene) and then when they were done drawing, I told them to start painting, and then left the room for a few minutes (really, I had to go, I swear!) A few of them panicked, some started painting, but most of them just stared at the paint. The finally all started to paint, but there were so many questions. Some of them also wanted to see the example, and got frustrated with me when I wouldn't show it until an hour or so into the "class". But because of this, there were many different paintings and color schemes. I will post pictures of the finished paintings when they are done, this project is taking more than one sitting.
