I'm A Thief!!!

Image
Yep, I admit it. I have stolen several ideas this year, mostly found on Pinterest.

THE EVIDENCE:

This tree is outside my art room and was inspired by a photo found on: Project Nursery. I love the way it turned out, but it took me four hours to create!



I have different examples of art work inside several of the circles, along with our motto,
"Let's Get Art Smart!"



To go along with the polka dots on the tree, I used this idea from Art With Mr. E.



I then added this phrase that I found on Mrs. Malone's Art Room.
I have had lots of positive feedback on this door!




All together:




Since I was loving the dots, I added some to the front of my desk.


Here is the corner I posted about previously. This idea is all my own... I think!


I added wings and the phrase, "Time Flies When You're Making Art."
Yep, stole it from Mrs. Knight's Smartest Artists.



I don't know whose idea this is, but I found it on Pinterest.
I snatched some paint samples from the store and Voila! In…

Musical Mandalas

A mandala is... An integrated structure organized around a unifying center. ~Longchenpa





Aren't these spectacular? Can you believe that they were made by fourth graders? A-ma-zing. And, as a bonus, there is a math tie in and, as one of my smart followers pointed out, Social Studies!


MATERIALS:
images of Mandalas, posterboard or matboard scraps for background (I use the back of Flawboard), ice cream lid and cool whip lid to make circles, old CDs, hot glue gun, pencil, protractor (larger ones work best), ruler, permanent markers- thin black and regular sized colored

ENCOUNTER:
Step 1: Discuss Mandalas and show examples. Some great resources are Mandalas of the World, Mandala coloring book, and The Mandala Project online.


Step 2: Using pencil, trace around the two lids to make concentric circles- these will be used as guidelines and may be erased later.




Step 3: Hot glue an old CD (blank side up) in the center of the circles, making sure it is centered.
(Notice that there are no circles drawn …

Warm & Cool Swirling Leaves

Image
I've been wanting to post about these for awhile, but Blogger kept rotating my photos. Finally, I figured out how to copy & paste them in from Picassa. Yay!
Warm & Cool Swirling Leaves I made these beauties with first graders.
Materials: Here is what we used: white drawing  paper (9" X 12"), tissue paper (cut in to small squares), Mod-Podge or other decoupage glue, foam brushes, scissors, pencil, black markers- thick, chalk pastels, variety of 9" X 12" construction paper in cool colors, black construction paper (12" X 15"), glue

 Encounter:   Here is what we did:
We first studied warm & cool colors and played a sorting game (pictured below). I laminated several rectangles of construction paper & added a magnet to the back. Students take turns coming up and placing their colors in the correct area.




We then decoupaged tissue paper to the white drawing paper. I gave each table a tray of tissue paper squares. I did NOT separate the w…
