I spend my days doing what I love: educating and learning from creative, inquisitive kids. This blog was created as an extension of the dialogue that began in our classroom and the purpose is to share creative ideas and images. All posts should be appropriate for the school classroom and criticism should be helpful and positive...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13088642130654748372noreply@blogger.comBlogger29125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021504317355377948.post-31742456658424956502014-05-09T12:02:00.002-07:002014-05-09T12:07:52.591-07:00News Release<h3>

The Past month or so I have been overwhelmed with art show preparations.... but the end results turned out so AWESOME!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All the credit goes to all the amazing artist that we have here at Bradley, without their amazing art, we wouldn't of had an art show!! I have to admit, when I decided to do this at the start of the year - I never knew how much work it would be. There were many nights I went home this school year, worrying about ... DO NOT FORGET ANY STUDENTS!!! My worst nightmare was leaving a students art out of the show, but thankfully my worst nightmare did not come true :) Every student at Bradley had a piece of artwork on display and it was incredible! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">OUR FIRST EVER BRADLEY ART SHOW EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you all for your support and all the wonderful emails about the art show... it makes all the planning and organizing well worth it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hopefully next week I am back on track and will start posting more student art on our class blog! 23 more school days left, but for now... enjoy a picture from the art show! I love the way the entryway to the show turned out :) More pictures to come soon!</span><br />

I used a good portion of the profits from the Art to Remember fundraiser to purchase art supply's and 3 new art tables. My plan is to purchase the other 3 next school year. They look super fantastic, they are student friendly, and they make the art room look like an art room (plus the students love them) :) Thanks again to everyone who helped make the Art To Remember Fundraiser so successful.</span><br />

This week their owls air dried All 2nd graders had the opportunity to go on a "mini field trip" to the "kiln room". Many of them had no idea what a kiln was, so I showed them.

Fifth grade students learned about artist Claus Oldenburg, an american artist who is known for his pop art sculptures. We discussed his "Burger" sculpture and then students got to be creative an design their own burgers. They could add anything they wanted to their burger, as long as it was food. Some of these have some crazy things in them - crabs, pizza, cupcakes, fried eggs, candy, fish, and spaghetti.. This project was a mixed media collage. We used yarn, felt, tissue paper, and construction paper.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kindergarten students and I made hot coco in art class today! We didn't make real hot coco but made an art version of it. We drew our mugs, added some steam using cotton, and the final touch.... added real marshmallows to the "hot coco". I usually open a bag of marshmallows and let them get a bit hard before giving them to students to glue to their art (this makes them less appealing to eat), but I didn't do that this time! I gave them all fresh marshmallows and they smelled delicious! I had to remind them over and over that these were for our art :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3rd grade students completed their self portraits. This was a new project that I tried this year. I wasn't honestly sure how they would turn out, but I am happy with the results. It is always scary trying a new project because you never know what will happen. There are times when I experiment and the vision I had does not always turn out, which is always hard to explain to my students. This simple self portrait project was much harder to teach than I expected. The hard work paid off. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2nd grade students enjoyed learning about print making in art class. Students created their own 'block print" template with foam. Students first drew a sketch, next they transferred the sketch to the foam. The next step was to ink the foam using printing ink and a brayer. Students got to pick 2 colors of their choice and make 2 prints.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you to all who helped make the Share the Warmth Charity event so successful. We way exceeded my goal of 60 items. Even though the event ended last Friday, this week I continued to collect an additional 20 items from students. In total we collected about 170 items (hats, mittens, and scarves)! The Art with a HeART gift basket was raffled off and a very lucky 2nd grader won the art basket!!! Thanks again for all of your contributions! Half of the items have been delivered and I will be delivering the other half early next week!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The past few weeks have been busy in the art room. We have had art party's and students have been playing catch up on projects that they never had a chance to finish. Some classes had a chance to start new projects and complete them this past week and this week. Other classes have not, due to SNOW DAYS! Yay!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kindergarten students created their first "Winter Art" project. We created winter trees. This fun project got a thumbs up from all students and I can thank the "fancy scissors" that we used for that. Students got to cut their trees using decorative scissors ( I call them "fancy" scissors). Here are some of the Winter Wonderlands....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4th grade students (some) created snowmen cards this week. We made our snowmen using an ariel perspective and made them "pop" by making them in layers. Students then painted the card using watercolor paint to make a crayon resist. So cute.... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1st grade students completed their 3d tepee and fire this week. Students made their tepee using a brown lunch bag stuffed with newspaper. They tied the top off their bag using yarn and beads. Next students glued their tepee to a black sheet of paper and then created their 3d fire. Students enjoyed making their 3d art and they all commented on how nice everyone's tepee and fire turned out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5th grade - Pictures with my iphone do not do justice to these amazing pieces of art.

I like to reward students for positive behavior and when they have earned 9 "Green Days", they earn an art party. Green days are earned when no reminders are needed for classroom rules. As much as the students love having an art party, these art parties drain me. They take so much effort and being the organized person that I am... art parties can get a bit chaotic and not as organized as I like (hard for me to just step back and not give directions sometimes), but hearing the laughter and hearing them comment on how much they love art makes all the craziness of the art party well worth it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This week we also created our first batch of watercolor paint. "Mark" the marker eater has been fed well the past few months and that means we get to make paint! Here are some pictures of the process... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2nd Grade students were the first to use our "class made" watercolor paint. Our "Changing Leaves" art project required many steps to complete. Students first created their own leaf template, then traced their leaf (over and over), next we colored the background with a black crayon and lastly we painted our leaves with our watercolor paint...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3rd graders had fun being "mad scientist" and creatied their own science lab. First we drew our science labs and then painted them... but in a different way. Students learned a new technique - blowing on wet paint. This technique gave the appearance of explosions and helped to make their science labs look as tho a real mad scientist had created it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4th grade students are finishing their Leaf project and should have them completed by next week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5th graders are working on different projects at this time. I've learned that all my classes work at different speeds and trying to keep them all on the same schedule is impossible. My goal was to have all students start on their "Fall Harvest" art last week, but we still have many students working on completing their Modigliani self portrait. Hopefully by the first few weeks of December, they will all be caught up and working on the same project. For those students who have started on their "Fall Harvest" art, they are half was complete.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13088642130654748372noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021504317355377948.post-30789824136925974332013-11-07T15:28:00.001-08:002013-11-07T15:32:40.184-08:00Week 12...

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kinder students are working on their fine motor skills: Cutting, ripping, and gluing. Next they will be making a mixed media art project to celebrate Native American Heritage Month. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1st grade students recently learned about American symbols in their home room class, so to continue on that topic... We are making "American Symbol" art in art class. Students first made their own American flag and then added their choice of an American symbol that they were familiar with. We then added red, white, and blue yarn to add texture to our art. These great pieces of art should be hanging at the White House. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2nd grade students are celebrating Native American Heritage Month in the art room and we are creating art using Native American symbols. For this project, we are using brown butcher paper, dried beans, and yarn. I can't wait for these to be completed and hung in the hallways at Bradley.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3rd graders have become made scientists and are creating their own "Mad Science Lab". So fun! We are using watercolor paint for this project. Students are using all the skills they have learned from previous projects and combining them together - perspective, overlapping, and object placement to create balance in art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4th grade students are creating "Fall Leaf" art. We created a leaf template and will be using the leaf template to produce art that shows pattern repetition, balance, movement, and the elements of art. We will be using our old markers and turning them into watercolor paint for this project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5th grade students are starting their "Fall Harvest" project next week and the project will take us about 4 weeks to complete. I originally wanted to start the project this week, but with voting, field trips and chorus... we are behind schedule. This week they are helping to create flags for our International Festival scheduled for November 19th. Other 5th graders are also catching up on other projects that they haven't had a chance to complete.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13088642130654748372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021504317355377948.post-39662460944962350542013-10-31T18:38:00.001-07:002013-11-02T20:32:23.821-07:00Scarecrow Contest <div style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Great Pumpkin Contest has some very creative pumpkins on display. If you haven't been to Bradley this week to see all the pumpkins, no worries!! I will be posting pictures on next weeks blog. Pictures will include group pumpkin pictures and individual pumpkin winner pictures (pictures of just the pumpkins, not students). We have 50+ pumpkins on display! It is going to be very hard to select the winners!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1st graders have been learning about the past, present, and future in their homeroom classes... so I decided to have students draw what they wanted to be when they get older (future self portrait). Each first grader drew his or herself in the future doing their "dream job". We have teachers, art teachers, dancers, singers, stay at home moms, police officers, fire fighters, McDonald workers, Dollar Store employees, princesses, scientist,... the list goes on!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4th graders completed their Vincent Van Gogh inspired sunflowers this week. We viewed and discussed 3 of Van Gogh's Sunflower paintings and added a fun twist to this project by making it pop-up art. The checkered background makes the flowers "pop" even more.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5th graders did an amazing job on their Amedeo Modigliani inspired self portraits. Modigliani is know for his elongated face (people) paintings. 5th graders had fun making their faces and necks look elongated. Students first sketched their self portraits and then colored them using oil pastels. These have a awesome cartoon appearance!</span><br />

While students were drawing these, many said it reminded them of Charlie Browns Great Pumpkin. I have to agree, the night sky in these make this look like a scene from <i>The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown</i>. We created these still life drawings with colored pencils.<br />

I am delighted to report that we have surpassed our fundraiser goal for Art to Remember this year!! Many, many thanks to all! The Bradley art department raised a little over $2000 this year to be used to purchase art room supplies!!!</h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With no School last Monday, and Field Day this past Friday... we did not get to finish as many projects as I wanted, but here is week 9 update....</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1st graders completed their seascapes and they turned out fantastic. The painted "sunset" and ocean look amazing and the sailboats make me want to sail away to a tropical Island. These mixed media artworks are beautiful! Sorry for the dark picture, I will try to get better ones and post them tomorrow.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2nd graders - no 2nd graders this week (Last Monday Holiday, Last Thursday Field Trip, and Friday Field Day)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3rd graders have been working super hard on their 1 point perspective "Aquariums" for the past few weeks and the assignment was much harder than they expected, but they will all say that the hard work was well worth it... almost done!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4th graders are finishing their Van Gogh inspired sunflowers this week. Vincent Van Gogh would be proud of these pop-up sunflowers!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5th graders are working hard on their Modigliani inspired self portraits this week and they are having a fun time with them. For many of them, this is their first time using oil pastels (some love them and others dislike them). The biggest complaint I get about oil pastels is that they are messy, this is true, but I like that they are exploring new art mediums. This lesson should be completed during week 10.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kindergarten students have been catching up on assignments this week. We completed our "Fall" torn paper trees and some students got a chance to finish their Laurel Birch inspired cats. We also created "Funny Face pumpkins" (practicing cutting and making shapes)</span><br />

1. Art to Remember went home this week and is due back to school no later then next Friday, October 18th.<br />
2. I am looking forward to all the pumpkins that will be entered into the pumpkin decorating contest hosted by the art room. I have some great prizes for the winners!<br />
3. Thank you to everyone who has sent me emails this week. They all have been amazing, thank you for the super wonderful compliments and being so supportive. Since many of you have asked about the art room wish list and are interested in donating, please check the "Wish List" blog page - I've added more items! Thank you for supporting the art program at Bradley!<br />
<br />
Here are art project updates (and some pictures)<br />
1st graders have been busy for the past two weeks making some incredible seascapes. This was a fun project (messy), lots of work, but well worth it! Day 1: We started off by painting an entire sheet of paper blue, next we used texture tools to give the paint texture. Then we painted another sheet off paper, but this one was painted half orange and half yellow, then once again we added texture. Then we waited... until the paper dried. Day 2: I told students that we would be tearing our paper today and they looked at me with fear! "Why do you want us to tear our artwork" were the words I heard over and over. I explained that we would be tearing our paper into long strips and then glue them in overlapping layers (to give the appearance of waves and depth). I told them to trust me (and they did)! Next we glued our paper down, we made cute sail boats and also layered those into our seascape. The sunset on these turned out so amazing!!! It makes me want to sail away.... pictures next week (Still need to get them hung).<br />
<br />
2nd graders loved creating "Wise Owls" this week. When I showed them the paper that we would be using to draw on - they had a look of fear on their cute faces (like the 1st graders did). I decided that we would use old book pages for this project and explained to students that I did not destroy our library books. We talked about recycled art and I also told them this could only be done with old books and not their good books at home :) Look how cute these "Wise Owls" turned out...<br />

3rd graders started a new project. They are learning about 1 point perspective drawings. This project will take 2-3 class periods to complete<br />
<br />
4th graders are still working on their Van Gogh pop-up sunflowers. I hope to have these done by the end of next week (fingers crossed)<br />
<br />
5th graders are starting their self portraits this week. We are learning about artist Amedeo Modigliani and we will be drawing our self portraits in the same style that Modigliani painted his in - elongated faces/figures. Students will be using oil pastels for this project. As with all the self portraits that we will do in art, students will be drawing their self portraits using colors that represent them. Even though these self portraits will have a cartoon appearance, students will still color their eyes and hair color to match their hair and eye color. This project will take us 2-3 classes.<br />
<br />
This week Kindergarten students have been creating "fall" themed art projects. We practiced tearing paper (which is a challenge for some students) and created "Fall Trees". Another messy art project... the art room floor looked liked confetti had exploded all over it.<br />
<br />
Another group of "Artist of the Week"....<br />

3rd graders created some terrific art this week! They completed their "Colored Pencils" and they turned out so amazing. The photos do not do this artwork justice. They look even better in person. After I hung them up today, I kept catching myself going back out in the hallway and standing in front of the art... admiring it! Within 10 minutes of the art being hung, the artwork received numerous "awesome" comments. They really have the appearance of dimension. (as if they were cut out and glued to paper, which they weren't). These were drawn on gray paper with oil pastels and we then glued our art to black paper - for a nice finishing touch.</div>

1st graders learned new art vocabulary this week: Geometric and Organic shapes. I started our discussion asking students if they knew what organic meant, most of them answered with one simple word "food" :) After we talked about shapes, students got to practice their fine motor skills and cut out their geometric and organic shapes (that they drew) and then make a collage with their shapes - very creative!<br />

Kindergarten students had the chance to create their first "Fall" art today. We created trees by tracing our hands/arms and then colored green leaves around the tree (our hand). Next we got to finger paint (they loved this part). We used red, orange, and yellow (fall colors), we dipped our fingers in the paint to make the leaves :) I love the way these trees turned out - fall is my favorite time of the year. If i could find a place that had fall all year long, I would be there in a heartbeat.<br />

The hard part isn't teaching them how to draw themselves - the hard part is teaching them the correct color choices and that self portraits are supposed to look like them... we do not have blue or orange skin, we do not have purple eyes, and we do not have pink hair! No mater how many times I said this, there were still some blue students with green hair (still cute, but not a self portrait: maybe it is what they will look like in high school)? It was very hard for them to actually draw themselves using their true hair, eye, and skin color. They are so used to being creative and drawing things any color they wish - breaking this habit proved to be very challenging.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kindergarten: Here are a few of the completed self portraits. Notice the long eyelashes on some - any super model would love to have eyelashes like these! </div>

2nd graders learned about a "Blue Dog" this week. Not just any blue dog, but the famous "Blue Dog" painting by George Rodrigue. We first drew our dogs with a pencil- so cute. The next step was for students to pick either a warm or cool color for their background. We then painted our dogs with different shades of blue. The paintings makes me think of... "How much is the dog in the window..." song! Pictures soon!<br />
<br />
3rd graders are continuing to learn about overlapping and shading. We started a new project this week and it will take us 2 class periods to complete. We are using oil pastels on this project and we are drawing colored pencils - kind of confusing! Everyone is super excited about using oil pastels and I am excited that they actually are enjoying using the oil pastels (they tend to be messy). Pictures next week.<br />
<br />
4th grade students had the chance to create a fun project this week! We first folded our papers and drew a cute fish, we then unfolded the paper and "expanded" our fish drawings. When the paper is pulled open - it reveals a surprise... These cute little fish aren't so cute ...<br />

4th graders are starting a new project this week and it will take about 3 class periods to complete - so it may be a few weeks before you see their completed art. We are discussing Van Gogh and they are creating their very own sunflower "pop-up" art. Pictures next week.<br />
<br />
5th graders are currently working on their Art to Remember project and their theme is "Tropical Birds". Some were not so excited about the theme and were disappointed that I actually gave them a theme for this project - they were hoping to make a picture of your choice.... ugh, I am working hard at breaking them of their "free draw" habit! They will thank me at some point :) Pictures next week.<br />
<br />
Remember keep sending in your plastic bottle caps: all colors and sizes, plastic only (no metal) and make sure you are washing them :) Here are the bottle caps we have collected so far, we still need many more. The kids love bringing them to class and sorting them into their color bins - makes my job easy!!!<br />

I use my iphone as my camera and i dropped it the other day... causing the back glass to shatter and now the pictures are a bit blurry.<br />
<br />
I love how my students view me and I am always honored when they have drawn a picture for me - and the picture is of me! Here is another picture of Ms. Lupien (Ms. L) ... notice the spelling of my name on the art :) I guess I was wearing lots of brown today and I did not notice until I saw this picture of me - brown shoes, brown pants, striped brown shirt and a brown sweater!! I love how she even drew my short pony tail into a bun - very creative!<br />

Pre K students have been reading about an elephant named Elmer - a very colorful elephant. I made a large elephant templates for them to cover with colorful squares (like in the book). Next, they all got busy making Elmer bright and beautiful (fun cooperative project). This Elmer was made with love.<br />

4th grade started a new project last week. They are creating a landscape picture, but not just any ordinary landscape. They are making a "patterned landscape". We discussed different types of mountains, hills, lakes, and regions before we started the art project. We also talked about patterns and how they can give the appearance of texture.<br />

5th graders (for the past 4 weeks) have been working on making "cubism" art. We started this project by learning about an artist named Paul Klee. We looked at and discussed some of the paintings he painted using a cubism style. We also discussed complimentary colors and the difference between organic and geometric shapes. Students first drew an animal of their choice, then drew a grid like pattern on their paper, and then colored their art using colored pencils. The challenge of this project was they were only allowed to use a total of 4 colors for the entire picture (2 for the animal and 2 for the background). They had to make their art look as if they used many different shades and tints. They remind me of patchwork.<br />

Free Draw is not a word you will hear often in my art class, but the students love to do it. 5th graders had the opportunity to "free draw" this week.... well, at least they thought they were "free drawing". They got to draw what they wanted (kinda), but had to draw a pirate theme and the drawing is for the yearbook cover contest - I guess that isn't really free draw (but don't tell them, they were excited that I let them" free draw" for this project). Stay tuned for some cover art!</div>

Bottles and vases galore. For the past 2 weeks, 3rd graders have been busy creating vases, bottles, and bowls. We discussed symmetry and balance in art. We also talked about making objects look rounded when drawing on a 2d surface. This project was a challenge for many. I heard many students say "I didn't know that drawing a vase was so hard". The project was a challenge, but the art they produced was well worth the hard work!</div>

2nd graders learned about artiest Piet Mondrian this week. We discussed his famous piece of art called Trafalgar Square. We talked about the spaces and colors in Mondrian's art and then created our own Mondrian art... Mondrian style horses. We first drew these, then colored them, cut them out, and lastly added a horse mane using red and white yarn..<br />

Lastly, Kinders and 1st graders were busy learning about another artist: Laurel Birch, Birch is know for her cat drawings - so of course we created cat drawings. I have to admit, some of these turned out looking like bulldogs :) We first drew them, cut them out and then glued them to black paper...<br />

For those of you who do not have the opportunity to walk through our school and see the art work... here is a snippet of more art that was created this week.<br />
<br />
Pre K has been reading Brown Bear by Eric Carle and in art class we created our very own brown bear. This project was a two day event. We first started with painting an entire sheet of large paper with 2 different brown colors. Once the entire sheet was painted, I had students take a plastic fork and scratch the wet paint (to give texture). This also helped to make it look like the art in Eric Carle's Brown Bear book. Once the paper was dry, students cut out their bear shapes (templates I made) that was drawn on their brown paper. Lastly they created a scene for their bears! Check out the texture on these bears...<br />

Circles, circles, and more circles!!!! I do believe kindergartners have mastered the circle shape (organic and geometric) . Last week kinders learned about a famous artist name Kandinsky. Kandinsky is famous for a piece of art that he created called Concentric Circles... For the past two weeks kinders have been busy making their very own Kandinsky circle art.... Kandinsky would be proud (I am extremely proud)!<br />

Pre K and kinders are not the only ones learning and creating art this week. First graders had the opportunity to create "Line Art" using a technique called crayon resist. Our lesson objective was to make patterns using different line variations that we discussed in class. Once lines and patterns were created with crayons, we painted each section with a "watercolor wash" (very light colored watercolor paint that we made in class)... I showed them an example of a firework on the class board - this must have been their favorite since they all seemed to have drawn it :)</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">First, I want to share a piece of art that one of my 3rd graders made for me. Yesterday I had on a cute deep purple colored dress and my brown cowboy boots...

The long awaited moment.... The first artist of the week students were chosen this Monday and everyone one is super excited. It was very difficult to only pick one student for each grade level, but there are still many more weeks of the school year left - many other students will get a chance of being on my Artist of the Week bulletin board!<br />

This week, 1st grade is finishing their Art to Remember project - flowers are our theme. We talked about artist Georgia O'Keeffe and the beautiful flowers she painted... students then created their our beautiful flowers. We talked about giving the flower petals multiple layers and they achieved this! Here are a few that are complete.</div>

2nd graders are also finishing their Art to Remember projects this week, but their theme is "Colorful Iguanas". We talked about the importance of using our entire piece of paper and layering objects when we draw. These are the cutest and most colorful iguanas I've ever seen!</div>

4th graders have been working on their negative and positive space art for the past few weeks and are finishing them this week. For this project, we learned and practiced making a template (in this case they made their own tree template). We then discussed positive and negative space in art and reviewed patterns. Students got to select their pattern and color choice. When I look at these, I think "Happy Trees"....</div>

I have to admit that I have the best students and it never gets old hearing them say I am the "best art teacher ever"... I'm sure that me doing the "Sprinkler and shopping cart" dance with theme helps in getting the "best" art teacher status, but if it makes them smile - it makes me smile!</div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Week 3 - Adventures in the art room...</span></h3>
<br />
Students have been spotted "Random Dancing" in the art room and I might have been spotted doing my robot dance with them... oh, the things teachers will do - such a hard job :)<br />
<br />
Bradley artists have been very busy the past two weeks creating masterpieces (while they aren't dancing)... 3rd graders have been working on drawing and painting some amazing landscapes using watercolor paint. Our theme: "Hawaiian Sunsets" and students learned about foreground, middle ground, and background. The colors for this lesson were the colors of the rainbow.... makes me want to go to Hawaii!<br />

3rd graders were not the only ones busy creating! 2nd graders were also painting using watercolor paint, but they were learning about warm and cool colors. We first talked about the correct ways of holding our paint brush (yes, second graders needed reminders) and then talked about the proper way of swirling our brush in our watercolor paint. To keep with the swirling theme, we painted large swirls in warm colors on one sheet and cool colors on the other sheet. Next, we cut both of our sheets and made a puzzle alternating our warm and cool colors. If you hear your 2nd grader chanting the word "swirl"... it is because I had them repeat the word over and over in the art room :) At this point they might even be saying it in their sleep! Mission accomplished.<br />

My first week in a public school was amazing and went much smoother than I expected!! I was overwhelmed with the amount of hugs I received. Kinders and first graders are always willing to give out hugs, but this week I also received hugs from my 4th and 5th graders.... you know you have hit the "Cool Teacher" status when the older kids hug you (and tell you that you are the BESTEST art teacher ever)!<br />
<br />
"We are looking back at Summer"... To start the school year off, after reviewing all the classroom expectations and rules, students got to reflect back on what they did this summer. I gave each student a large pair of sunglasses that I drew on paper and they got to design the frames how they wanted and then draw a picture of what they did this summer in the lens section. All grade levels loved this and it was a huge success! My bulletin board has over 400 pairs of sun glasses on it....<br />

There were a few things that the students could not stop taking about this week... Mark the marker eater, the paint buckets hanging from the ceiling, Artist of The Week, the treasure chest, and my icarly remote (that I hope to have in class next week).... who doesn't love random dancing in the art room! Here is my Artist of the Month Bulletin Board I made to display student art...<br />
