Vicent Van Gough

We reviewed Van Gogh's paintings and the elements that he used throughout his artwork. We got to use different colored tissue paper to create a background. My landscape was a mountain scenery that remind me of Big Sky Montana. I used mainly cool colors to represent the sky and snow. We also used oil pastels to create snow at the top of my black paper mountains and swirls in the background like Van Gogh did throughout his artwork.
Extension: An extension activity I think would be interesting with this art assignment would be for the students to write a short paragraph about the reasoning behind their background color choice and scenery image and use their imaginations. Their paragraph and artwork would be hung up in the hallways outside of the classroom.

Clay Coil Pot

I was the teacher for this clay lesson. Everyone created their own coil pot that had to be at least five coils high. It was made out of air-dry clay. Students had to learn how to wedge and slip & score to build their pot. The students had to either add texture, paint , or they were able to even do both if they wanted. Extension Activity: I would incorporate this into a science lesson. Each student would create their own coil pot and then we would plant a seed in it. The students would watch their plant grow and learn about what the essential things are that a plant needs to be able to grow.

Dot Project

During class today, we learned about the dot. We got to make an art project with a coffee filter and experiment to see how different types of drawing utensils would react on the filter. On my filter I chose to use oil pastels and then I used markers to make the color blead when I painted the water on it. Where I used the oil pastels in rejected the water. Extension Activity: I would post dots all over the school and have the students go on a hunt to find them.The studnets would also have to find an object around the school that looks like a dot as well and take a picture of it with their shcool camera or ipad. This will be perfect to get the studnets up and moving.

Name Drawing

In this drawing lesson it was focused on creating lines. We used a white piece of paper and had to create our name or nickname in the center of the paper. We traced our name in black sharpie and then then were told to shade our name in a solid color. The rest of the paper had to be filed with a bunch of different patterns. We had to incorporate different drawing tools I used crayons, markers and colored pencils. Extension Activity: An extension activity for this project would be to have the students write a paragraph about why they picked the designs for the background of their drawing. I would also have students write about what their favorite colors are.
