They formed groups, chose a famous art work to recreate, and began drawing/painting their own versions of the famous paintings on the old wooden chair. The wooden chairs have been collected/donated throughout the year by parents and community of the school. Each chair has a lot of charm! By painting the old chairs white first thing, it gave each chair a smooth surface and a unified beginning. The groups discussed how they were going to put their own twist on the famous art work and made sure to cover the entire chair. What are we doing with the chairs? For now- they will be displayed at our annual RRCS art show. Possibly a silent auction with donations going to a local good cause? From Vincent van Gogh to Andy Warhol we have 20 old wooden chairs getting made over for the next few weeks into amazing works of art. We are off to an awesome start! I'm so impressed by how well the kids are working together and to see their creative minds in action in small groups. Stay tuned for more excitement with <span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">Project Artist Chairs</span>! <br />

The name mandalas start off by folding paper to create 8 different triangle sections. Then, you write your name in bubble or block letters in one of the triangles, touching the top and the bottom of the triangle. You fold the paper in the different folds to be able to trace the original name in every other triangle. I have the kids use the windows in my classroom to trace. They are amazed at how cool their name looks in the end! These will be great for our upcoming art show. I can't wait to see the finished name mandalas!<br />

By putting a little twist on traditional still-life drawings, 4th grade students were encouraged to draw a certain part of the bike instead of the entire bike. The bike was upside down to create new lines, shape, and interesting space. Some students focused on the wheels, the pedals, or the handle bars. It was a very calm day in the art room which was nice after a hectic week with testing and 4th grade mural art. I was so impressed with these drawings. Everyone was extremely successful and the students created amazing bicycle drawings! <br />

The 4th grade classes rotated into art all day to create the first step of our clay mural- <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">"See The Rainbow- Be The Rainbow"</span></span>. Local artist Susan Gallagher and our amazing PTA art room chair Mrs. Centuori were here, along with a few parent volunteers, to help make today run smoothly. It was so nice to have the entire day dedicated to this large-scale project. (The 4th grade teachers are amazing and supportive throughout this entire project...we are so lucky!!) It was a day full of clay, new tools, fabulous creations, and positive energy! The clay mural is off to a wonderful start. Each student starts with a paper templet. They drew their design last week in art. The design had to be something that represented them (soccer ball, guitar, art supplies, a word, animal, etc.) Every idea was awesome and so creative. Today, they took the templet to the clay to create the shape. Bas relief technique was used on each piece. The details are phenomenal! The last picture is our sketch of the finished sculpture. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>WE LOVE COLOR!!!</b></span> Now, time to dry, then fire in the kiln, glaze and assemble.

And a little over 600 people throughout the week. Very normal for an art teacher. I love it actually- it's so nice knowing the names of all the students and a little bit of their personalities. It's awesome when they stop by just for a visit or to say hi! However this wonderful, full of life little art room becomes filled with a lot of icky germs! I try my absolute best to keep the art room clean and germ free. I like to keep the space around me clean all of the time. I love the messiness that art creates and I have a good system for that- but the germs is another story. School in general is a place full of germs. There are hand sanitizers throughout the school and teacher/parent reminders to wash hands, cover mouth, etc. which does add some peace of mind. But it still is such a challenge to keep the art room clean because of all the hands-on activities that happen all day. Students that are here for class use the art room supplies, they share the table space with each other (plus the previous and next class), we live in Cleveland with some crazy winter weather so there is a lot of coughing & sneezing- it is busy and non stop- and germy. I don't really like to think of the amount of germs in my class room is, but it has to be bad. Sometimes I'm shocked that I am not sick more often! Lysol wipes are my life savors! Even though they are rather expensive, they are the best way to help keep the art room "almost germ free" :) I think it is the best way to clean the table spaces though at the end of class and the day. Of course, the art room is messy with paint, supplies, etc. but what are some good ways to keep the art room germ free? Anyone else use Lysol wipes? (I buy mine in bulk at Costco) I would love to know your thoughts! Thanks!

To remember the reason why I LOVE being an art teacher. To remind myself that my job is important. To forget about what is happening outside the door and just teach art! The laughter, smiles, excitement, and happiness I see every day makes reminds me of all these things and always seems to re-assure me to continue doing what I love and a loving what I do. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1318204500949687452-4035526744929074405?l=thinkcreateart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mrs. Coughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02458847982822723171noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1318204500949687452.post-61717833933580425062012-02-08T10:21:00.000-06:002012-02-08T10:21:41.289-06:002012-02-08T10:21:41.289-06:00Heart Designs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mGyJu8fX1zA/TzKd4_iK8OI/AAAAAAAABHc/DOSZFHegNuQ/s1600/Sub+Heart+Project+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mGyJu8fX1zA/TzKd4_iK8OI/AAAAAAAABHc/DOSZFHegNuQ/s320/Sub+Heart+Project+001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lbU64RYc14c/TzKd3nBIMwI/AAAAAAAABHU/VC16B6ZBrpk/s1600/Sub+Heart+Project+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lbU64RYc14c/TzKd3nBIMwI/AAAAAAAABHU/VC16B6ZBrpk/s320/Sub+Heart+Project+002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wyygODLTEQM/TzKd2Otac7I/AAAAAAAABHM/g-3GG4i65o0/s1600/Sub+Heart+Project+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wyygODLTEQM/TzKd2Otac7I/AAAAAAAABHM/g-3GG4i65o0/s320/Sub+Heart+Project+003.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F7nKvnTgLyY/TzKd0iAH0VI/AAAAAAAABHE/dULjujp00ss/s1600/Sub+Heart+Project+004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F7nKvnTgLyY/TzKd0iAH0VI/AAAAAAAABHE/dULjujp00ss/s320/Sub+Heart+Project+004.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sVjyNrQAfTE/TzKdzOExLsI/AAAAAAAABG8/-aZRCAqPagc/s1600/Sub+Heart+Project+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sVjyNrQAfTE/TzKdzOExLsI/AAAAAAAABG8/-aZRCAqPagc/s320/Sub+Heart+Project+005.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uz7LJD4OwxM/TzKdwKVAEeI/AAAAAAAABG0/esVLTHmDUlA/s1600/Sub+Heart+Project+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uz7LJD4OwxM/TzKdwKVAEeI/AAAAAAAABG0/esVLTHmDUlA/s320/Sub+Heart+Project+007.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ds1NbwM8OUg/TzKdtyQrXVI/AAAAAAAABGs/32aPdbdSAE0/s1600/Sub+Heart+Project+008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ds1NbwM8OUg/TzKdtyQrXVI/AAAAAAAABGs/32aPdbdSAE0/s320/Sub+Heart+Project+008.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next week, on <span style="color: red;">Valentine's Day</span>, we are beginning the <a href="http://thinkcreateart.blogspot.com/p/creativity.html">4th Grade Mural Project</a>!

The video posted from You Tube is so cool! In the past, I have painted, cut, "hair-dryer" plastic water bottles to create <a href="http://thinkcreateart.blogspot.com/2010/05/dale-chihuly-inspired-art-5th-grade.html">sculptures</a>. These always turn out beautiful and the kids love the process. This year, trying something a little different- so stay tuned!! The goal is to create mini chandeliers to fill our hallways. <br />

5th grade students began their weaving unit by setting up their loom. We used paper plates and yarn to get this going. The spiral created at the end is just wonderful! Tying knots can be a challenge, but quickly picked up! I have seen "hoola hoop" weaves using the same idea and would love to make those with a smaller group one day. <br />

After chatting about the wonderful <a href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/jim-dine/">Jim Dine </a>and looking at his artwork, students were inspired to create beautiful heart themed paintings. Of course they thought it was so cool that he is from Ohio! I love the individuality painted in each piece. The colors are brilliant and the outcome is fab! </div><br /><div>ThinkCreateArt</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1318204500949687452-8621549938368690141?l=thinkcreateart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mrs. Coughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02458847982822723171noreply@blogger.com0
