Line, line and more lines

9/29/2016

​Our students have created some amazing art works while investigating line over these past 2 weeks. This has been K2’s first regular visits to the artroom and they have jumped right in.  Last week they created wonderful expressive monsters with line. This week they looked at Wassilly Kandinsky and are making concentric circles with glue, construction paper and scissors to play with color combinations.
We have been creating illusions with line in grade 2 and 4. Grade 4 created the illusion of a hand without actually drawing the hand while grade 2 used repeated pencil lines to create the illusion of forms that they transformed into Rapunzel’s hair, pumpkin stacks and even sunsets and reflections.
In grade 1 students connected lines to create shapes which became landscapes. The finished pictures using construction crayons are just beautiful.
Grades 5 and 6 made contour line drawings form life. Grade 5 drew their shoes and were then asked to send their lone shoe on a vacation somewhere in the world. Grade 6 was inspired by surrealism and Salvador Dali when they drew their hands and then transformed them in their drawings.
In addition grade 6 has been working with their years’ theme “all about me” to take some selfies and create personal emojis with the art room mini iPads.
Please remember to visit Artsonia to see all our art work and make sure you register so your child’s art work is visible on the site.

We have been using different kind of lines, straight, wavy, zigzag, vertical, etc. to create new shapes, illusions and contour line drawings in all the classes.

Pinwheels Project

Our art classes will be creating Pinwheels for Peace as their first art project this year. Pinwheels for Peace is an art installation project started in 2005 by Ann Ayers and Ellen McMillan, who were art teachers at Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, Florida, as a way for their students to express their feelings about what’s going on in the world and in their lives.  
The first Pinwheels for Peace were installed on Sept. 21, 2005. Since then, they have grown from 500,000 pinwheels planted the first year, to four million pinwheels in 2015!
Here is a template link to print and create your own pinwheel.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school everyone. I'm looking forward to an exciting new year fill with art history, art making and fun projects. 
We will continue to put all student art work on Artsonia.com but there has been a change to  "parent permissions" on the website. Regardless of whether you have signed up before, you must give permission to allow your child's art to be seen on the website. I will be sending registration links to you over the next week. See below:
  • SPECIAL NOTE – New parent permission requirements starting July 2016   
    In order to more effectively work with school districts and state privacy laws, and also in preparation for upcoming new features such as student bios and video statements, we now require parents to create an online account and give explicit permission to Artsonia PRIOR to publicly showcasing any artwork on your school gallery. In the past, artwork you uploaded was publicly displayed in your gallery whenever you certified parent permission by selecting "granted" in the student's permission settings, regardless of whether the parent had created an account or not. 

    You can still post artwork prior to parents creating accounts, but artwork will remain viewable only while you are logged in to your account, until the parent creates an account and gives permission. 

    All artwork published prior to July 1, 2016 will be unaffected by these changes.

    ​Being an art teacher is one of the greatest jobs in the world. Where else do you get to be with great kids and basically have fun all day long? Okay, there is work involved. To be an artist you must learn the language of art. Just like we learn the alphabet and put those letters together to form words and sentences before we can read books we need to learn the elements of art to help us to become lifelong  artists.
