My Amazing Art Students, I MISS YOU!
Thank you for sending me pictures of the artwork you've been creating at home this week! I'm so proud of the way you continue to create masterpieces. Your photos are filling my heart with so much happiness! I love seeing the color and creativity you're putting on paper. Keep those images coming!
Because we're still staying home, I have a second set of art challenges for you. Remember, it's fun to create together! Get your whole family involved if you can. My son, Ashton, and I have been drawing together following Art Hub for Kids drawing directions. Ethan and I have been working on 1 point perspective drawing. Creating art together is a great way to connect and relax.
Here are Week 2 Challenges for you. You should also get a copy from your classroom teacher. Have fun, creating, my artists. Remember, you are LOVED!
Young 5s- 2nd Grade Week 2: March 23-27
Lesson 1: Observation Challenge
Artists have a talent to notice and observe beauty in the world around them. Today, your art challenge is to look at the world with your Artist's eyes. You can answer the following questions in your head, write them down, or draw pictures of what you see.
- Look at the sky at three different times of the day today. What do you see in the sky? What colors do you see? How did the sky change when you looked at it?
- If you are able to go outside today, look around you and try to find all the different shades of green. What other colors do you see? If you can’t go outside today, how many different colors can you find inside?
Lesson 2: Silly Drawings and Details
- Draw a llama surfing.
- Draw a fish swimming in something other than water.
- Combine two animals to create a new one.
- Draw a shark eating a cupcake.
Lesson 3: Learn about an Artist
Kindergarten and Second graders, you have already studied Vincent VanGogh’s artwork. Today, all of our artists can watch this video to learn more about Vincent VanGogh. As you watch this video, try to pick out your favorite work of art. If you’re up for the challenge, try drawing YOUR version of a Vincent VanGogh work of art!
Lesson 4: Creating with Cartooning
Artists, for today’s challenge, try drawing in a cartooning style. We’ve used Art for Kids Hub before. Below is the link to their YouTube Channel. Today, have fun choosing something that you’d enjoy drawing! There are several characters from your favorite books, TV shows, movies and games that you can learn to draw. You may simply watch and learn, or draw along. If you’re really feeling like a challenge, try designing your own cartoon today! Have fun, artists!
3rd- 5th Grade Week 2 (March 23-27):
Lesson 1: Finding Art at a Festival
- The cherry blossoms are blooming in Washington D.C. soon! They even have a Cherry Blossom Festival. It is a beautiful site to see! Watch the clip below to take a virtual tour.
- When you are finished watching the virtual tour, get a piece of paper. Any size will do! If you have crayons, colored pencils, markers, or paints, you could add some color at the end. Watch the Art Hub drawing video below, and make some beautiful cherry blossoms. Next time you are outside, notice the flowers that are coming out of the ground in Michigan!
Lesson 2: Imaginative Drawings and Details
- Get a piece of paper and draw one or ALL of the “watchamadrawit” prompts. Challenge yourself and add backgrounds, details, an even thought or talking clouds with the characters. Which one do you like best? Why? What happened right before the picture took place? What do you predict will happen later?
Lesson 3: Meet the Artist- Sandra Silberzwieg
- Have you heard of the artist, Sandra Silberzwieg? She is a Canadian Contemporary Abstract artist that I think you are going to love! Our friend, Cassie Stephens is going to teach us about this artist and how to draw artwork similar to Sandra Silberzwieg. You can watch the video and just learn from her, or you can grab a large piece of paper and draw along. You DO NOT need to have the same materials that she has. Be your creative self and make it the way that feels best to you. Be ready to pause the video along the way. Enjoy!
Lesson 4: Creating with Pointillism
- Have you ever heard of Pointillism? It is a style where small dots are used to compose an entire composition! Let’s learn a little more about it at this website. Don’t forget to take the ten question quiz at the end!
- You can learn more about George Seurat and his pointillism below!
