Yesterday, I purchased some pumpkins but unfortunately I was unable to carve them because of a thumb injury. So instead, I spray painted them! I used gold spray paint and some turquoise paint on the smaller one.
I then used my handy, dandy hot glue gun to glue some black and green ribbon. I also added a lace flower with buttons that are spray painted gold and a green ribbon rolled into a flower shape.
This was way easier and less messy than carving!

The first thing we do is draw the circles and label each color - it makes everything easier!

Their Color Wheel needs to have:

Primary Colors - Red, Blue, Yellow
Secondary Colors - Orange, Green, Purple
Intermediate Colors - Red-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Purple, Red-Purple

Egyptian portraits

10/12/2015

0 Comments

 
5th Graders are creating their own Egyptian Portraits. We learn about Egypt, Sarcophagi, and about the process of making a mummy. There is something about Ancient Egypt that students just love!
We'll talk about one of the most famous sarcophagi found - King Tut and his tomb. Students will also be learning about Hieroglyphics and adding them into their portrait.



I found this lesson on Deep Space Sparkle, check it out here!

Forward Facing Portrait
I pass out 2 handouts, one about hieroglyphics and one that shows how to draw an Egyptian Portrait.
Students must decide to do either a profile (side) portrait or a forward facing portrait.
I created a face tracer to eliminate the teeny, tiny faces that are usually drawn. Students draw the rest themselves: eyes, nose, mouth, headdress, patterns and hieroglyphics.

Materials: Pencil First, Outline in Sharpie and Regular Tempera Paint PLUS Gold Metallic Paint

This lesson has been a recurring art lesson for my 3rd graders for the past 5 years and it has been a hit every year!
I start with presenting Matryoshka Dolls (Nesting Dolls) and Russia to my students. We look at different examples of Nesting Dolls and look at the similarities between the dolls.

Students choose a theme for their dolls and use tracers to get the right size for each doll. They starts with only 4 dolls but if they finish early they may add 2 more.

Whiteboard Info.
My 5th graders are using tints, tones and shades to create a Monochromatic painting - using one color that changes value (light and dark)

Students select one color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue or purple)
They add white to the one color - to make a tint
They add black to the one color to make a shade.
They add both black and white to make a tone.


*A Spark is a school wide mission to have students recognize their "spark" or their favorite thing to do.

4th Grade Zentangles

4th graders are creating their own Zentangles. Zentangles are an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.
Each student uses either their first letter of their first name or first letter of their last name. They outline their bubble letter in sharpie marker and then create surrounding patterns.
They write their name so it touches each side of the paper, that way it separates the paper into sections. They use a sharpie pen to make the patterns.
Once finished with patterns, they may add color by using a marker bleeding technique. The marker bleeding technique is explained and shown in a different lesson on this Art of Ed link.

Welcome Back! The beginning of the year has just flown by!
The 3rd graders started off the year celebrating International Dot Day which came from the book, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. For this art lesson, students created 2 dots, drawing lines, shapes and patterns with Sharpie. We talked about colors and students would have one dot with Warm Colors and one with Cool Colors.

When students finished their dots, I collected them to be glued all together in ONE GIANT DOT! 8 Displays from 8 Classes!
