Stay at Home School... Week 3
Hello, My Amazing Art Students. Boy, do I miss hearing your voices and seeing your faces and creating with you! I hope you and your families are staying home and staying safe and are healthy and strong! Enjoy your time together!
Thank you for all the pictures of artwork you've been sharing with me! I am so very impressed by your creativity. I hope you've been enjoying your art challenges. Remember, creating art does not just have to come from my challenge list. If you feel like creating something totally different, DO IT!! I just want your imaginations to be working and your creativity to continue to pour new beauty into our world right now!
Here are WEEK THREE Art Challenges for you to try at home:
Y5-2nd Grade Art Lessons
Week 3: March 30- April 3
Lesson 1: Silly Drawings and Details
- Draw a crab at a birthday party.
- Draw a seahorse in a blizzard.
- Draw a dinosaur crying.
- Draw an animal with arms for legs and legs for arms.
Lesson 2: Learn about an Artist: Greg Mike
Greg Mike creates murals on buildings. When you watch this lesson by art teacher, Cassie Stephens, look for the LINES, SHAPES, and COLORS Greg Mike uses in his artwork. The finished project is a collage made from cut paper. However, you could simply draw lots and lots of Loud Mouth characters and color them with crayon or marker! Have fun creating and remember to keep the loud in your artwork, not in the house! :)
Lesson 3: Creating with found objects
Challenge 1: Use 3D objects you can find around your house to build a sculpture. Do you have blocks? LEGOs? Hot Wheels Cars? My Little Ponys? Shopkins? How could you use your toys to create art?
Challenge 2: Drawing from observation. Get a piece of paper or a tablet. Using art materials or a drawing app, try looking at your toy and drawing what you see. Look at the lines, shapes, and colors used in your toy.
Lesson 4: Superhero Self
Ok, superhero friends. It’s time to use that amazing imagination you have! Today your challenge is to draw yourself as a superhero. Think about the following details:
- What is your superpower?
- What does your superhero costume look like?
- Where do you, superhero, live? What will your background look like?
- Do you have a special superhero vehicle?
- Do you have a sidekick? If so, what do they look like?
When you’ve thought through your details, it’s TIME TO DRAW! Have fun, my amazingly SUPER art students!
Alternative Art Plans 3rd-5th Grades
Week 3 (March 30-April 3):
Lesson 1: Indianapolis Museum of Art- Mini Golf Sculptures
Watch this video about interactive sculptures! When you’re done, do some design work to create your own mini golf sculptures. How many Mini-Golf holes can YOU design? Will you golf course have a theme? You could create this course on paper, with LEGOS, build it with found objects at home or from the recycle bin or draw it digitally!
Lesson 2: Imaginative Drawings and Details
Lesson 3: Meet the Artist: Sean Kenny
Have you ever looked at a bin of LEGOs and felt the Master Builder in you start to get excited? Check out the artwork of sculptor, Sean Kenny. He creates with, you guessed it, LEGOS! Today you may just enjoy learning about a new artist, but if you’re feeling inspired, take the challenge to go to your LEGOs and create something new! Maybe you could even contact a friend and have an online building challenge and share your work!! Good Luck, Master Builders!
Lesson 4: Creating with Technology: Digital Art
Today is a day to let your imagination run wild! Can you use technology to create a work of art?
Here are some ideas for you to try, or use an app you already have:
Google Canvas
Quick Draw (on SJPS symbaloo page)
Purple Mash (on SJPS symbaloo)
Take a photo and edit it to make it your own design
