Create

1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work.

A. Play & Ideation

Engage collaboratively in exploration and imaginative play with materials



B. Investigation

Use observation and investigation in preparation for making a work of art.




This week we are experimenting with drawing materials.
We will show what we know using pencils, crayons and markers.
This practice will prepare us for our work in the drawing studio!

With a pencil...
You can create light and dark values.
Value is the lightness or darkness of a color.

You can create light and dark values by changing how hard you press on your pencil.


Blending and Layering:
Making new colors in the drawing Studio
You can layer crayon by coloring one color over another lightly.






Video for 3rd Grade




Ask yourself these questions:
1. How did you use your pencil? Did you press light or hard?
2. Did you layer crayons? Where? If you didn't, add one color on top of another to create layers.
3. Did you use the tip or the side of the markers?


Congratulations! You are now ready to use the drawing studio!

If you finish your book you can try out these other supplies and techniques

Materials for making art are all around us!
Some artists make art from natural materials.

What are natural materials? 
Can you tell what natural materials these artists used to make their art?

First Day - Kindergarten

 


Create

1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work.

A. Play & Ideation

Engage collaboratively in exploration and imaginative play with materials



Welcome to art class! We are going to have an exciting year together in art, full of discovery and art making. We will draw, collage, paint, make sculptures and stitch and sew. We are going to learn what it means to be an artist and how to work like an artist.










Expectations


1. Take care of people

2. Take care of stuff

3. Behave like an artist 


How do we take care of people in the art room?

Share the colored pencils with your table mates. If someone is using a color you need say: "may I please use the blue pencil when you are finished?" Then wait patiently.


How do we take care of stuff in the art room?

For example, when we are done with a marker, we should place the cap back on till it snaps, so that the marker doesn't dry out.


How do we behave like an artist?

One way that I show I am an artist is I think about what I'm going to make before I begin. I usually start with an idea even though it may change along the way.






Now we are going to create some art....
Think about something beautiful (Envision)
-think about something you love
-what do you think is really cool?
Can you draw a picture of that ? Can you glue down shapes to make a picture?
Use your imagination to make something beautiful.


Materials: 
Paper
pencil
crayons
glue stick 
paper shapes/newspaper

Clean-up expectations:

I will always play the clean-up anthem at clean-up time.

Clean-up is silent.

Everyone should finish cleaning up their studio space before the end of the song.

Today, during clean-up, you will be responsible for putting your supplies in the bin neatly, and putting your book in the box on the supply table.





Reflection:

After the drawings are completed, discuss the ways they behaved like an artist during class:
Include thinking of an idea, working quietly, sharing and taking care of supplies.

What did you make?
What drawing materials did you use?

How were you brave when you made your art? Did you try something new?

Envision

I can think about what I am going to draw, or make a mental picture before I start.

I usually start with an idea even though it may change along the way.


Today we are going to get our Studio Practice Books.

We use our studio practice books to learn skills and classroom routines.


You will create a piece of art using drawing supplies.

Think about what you want to draw. 

Close your eyes and try to picture what you want it to look like. When you are ready, you may begin. Take your time drawing in pencil. Draw large enough so you fill the page and you can color it in. 

Let's begin our art, and before we leave we will talk about some of the

ways we behaved like an artist. 


If you finish your drawing early, try the Get to Know Me Sculpture paper by Cassie Stephens.
