We talked about how symbols represent meaning and can often be very personal. I encouraged the students to think of a symbol that represents themselves. Some chose one of Adinkra symbols, while others chose symbols from our own American culture. After they chose their symbol, each student carved the positive and negative out of EZ cut linoleum for printing. They created their colorful borders with oil pastels. </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

They learned about the science behind snowflakes and how they are symmetrical, radial designs. After cutting out the snowflake designs, the students learned about the ancient art form of Mosaic and used recycled CD pieces to add a reflective quality to their artwork. These beautiful artworks are as unique as real snowflakes and the students themselves!

They created these Heart Maps to represent things that are very important to them. I encouraged them to think of things that are very important to them and they created lists and webs in their sketchbooks. Afterwards, I demonstrated a few techniques and gave them open-media choices to create their work. I love how different each of these artworks turned out and how well they represent the student that created them!</span>Riverside Elementary Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09968168003430183330noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206940100419166651.post-63608131269616789652011-01-11T18:09:00.000-05:002011-01-11T18:09:02.377-05:00CommentsWell, I finally realized that I have had "Comments" enabled on any of my previous posts...<br />

If there is anything I've learned since becoming an art teacher 5 years ago, it's that kids-love-clay! They loved squishing and pinching and carving and poking and smooshing and pounding their clay into these totally unique owls. After they were fired, they painted them using Tempera. To seal in the paint and give them a sheen, they painted over their sculpture with Mod Podge. </span></span>Riverside Elementary Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09968168003430183330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206940100419166651.post-8657394164768523252011-01-10T20:59:00.004-05:002011-01-25T09:46:15.499-05:00Owl Moon<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgezRpyW-SI6gHGVH1dn4zBN5dxqNuIMuhYyUvXi4nVG3SxcHsDrFbwUW9LvGOBzrYemCTC5AkQTUlSxxJe9Vovg90hdyq1VFaKR4r5FoN8PKLI-f4uWzq__QXY3O1VyqY4LAEk9DBnsCU9/s1600/DSCF1795.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560743451426062418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgezRpyW-SI6gHGVH1dn4zBN5dxqNuIMuhYyUvXi4nVG3SxcHsDrFbwUW9LvGOBzrYemCTC5AkQTUlSxxJe9Vovg90hdyq1VFaKR4r5FoN8PKLI-f4uWzq__QXY3O1VyqY4LAEk9DBnsCU9/s320/DSCF1795.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 221px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFIbQ0JAdJXAtN9enO3PmBTLYmd0DtJLaGuECKVMXZDgYDh8paVR-XjGedqvBZSn2-MI5uYIbGZRdFY2w9e72iGABKTQJ20olCPblQORjr8u1nbz6xtqN5ZHLVtjKHtheH5sT7R86wtd2h/s1600/DSCF1798.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560743207415633938" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFIbQ0JAdJXAtN9enO3PmBTLYmd0DtJLaGuECKVMXZDgYDh8paVR-XjGedqvBZSn2-MI5uYIbGZRdFY2w9e72iGABKTQJ20olCPblQORjr8u1nbz6xtqN5ZHLVtjKHtheH5sT7R86wtd2h/s320/DSCF1798.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 217px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi6AHlpqjfWkhofNvln6b6GyhvvYR1XQJk45coyRE_XAjYA1bCtEFFEhQSdyYFoA58fj1ie_xjy0cEQOptNwgr1k04eGlshuBkj-cGJCoZ8eTvN3K7pdO7OOXfnm9V2sO1jFIRzKXROxTQ/s1600/DSCF1796.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560743202541623650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi6AHlpqjfWkhofNvln6b6GyhvvYR1XQJk45coyRE_XAjYA1bCtEFFEhQSdyYFoA58fj1ie_xjy0cEQOptNwgr1k04eGlshuBkj-cGJCoZ8eTvN3K7pdO7OOXfnm9V2sO1jFIRzKXROxTQ/s320/DSCF1796.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 218px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi30Tzsl7oBQSO7JxDomnXXw5rGhuCAlW_KXi5ZBgcfZBErdaCXv3eKthuXL1O1QcVlMfq_OX19BnOh8PqmLvSBh1m47fg5nmXKdTE8o16E0jEmVt6I9695GoBssGHJhMb62vLiNlldz5oU/s1600/DSCF1794.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560743200389031554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi30Tzsl7oBQSO7JxDomnXXw5rGhuCAlW_KXi5ZBgcfZBErdaCXv3eKthuXL1O1QcVlMfq_OX19BnOh8PqmLvSBh1m47fg5nmXKdTE8o16E0jEmVt6I9695GoBssGHJhMb62vLiNlldz5oU/s320/DSCF1794.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 209px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixXN1Kz7e_6ld4nDPyUNE1OSpbXEogORYtdFeBR4VrBqa1ICDdT1RecUHDHUe36p2EtU1VQIL3moOVdyD6G1PmSqebjKC69Ad-c3bXNIeh6X06tNGfNYEblXlPWdj8BAfo9XEIzNNTC2rw/s1600/DSCF1793.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560743197806920562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixXN1Kz7e_6ld4nDPyUNE1OSpbXEogORYtdFeBR4VrBqa1ICDdT1RecUHDHUe36p2EtU1VQIL3moOVdyD6G1PmSqebjKC69Ad-c3bXNIeh6X06tNGfNYEblXlPWdj8BAfo9XEIzNNTC2rw/s320/DSCF1793.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 215px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxQxlutrSxG7i35UP4QtlFRlRv4fvfZd5QZahWTQd2NeQpPZZplIs6cLcq2QhwLKgDQ7IXOqofYsqCP90Wie4FBZRD6cmphwrCdjlIFl58K568ZkNK_GOlhOFSqvJ9bcS5a3V3iEuD4m6/s1600/DSCF1792.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560743191711223778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxQxlutrSxG7i35UP4QtlFRlRv4fvfZd5QZahWTQd2NeQpPZZplIs6cLcq2QhwLKgDQ7IXOqofYsqCP90Wie4FBZRD6cmphwrCdjlIFl58K568ZkNK_GOlhOFSqvJ9bcS5a3V3iEuD4m6/s320/DSCF1792.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 203px;" /></a> <br />

After reading the story and creating a list of animal characteristics they observed in the Wild Things, students began to create their own. Students sketched four different Wild Things of their own and chose their favorite for their final artwork. After learning about the printmaking technique, students transferred their drawing to a Styrofoam printing block and made four, color prints. They then created beautiful and colorful “frame” patterns using construction paper crayons. These artworks POP with color!</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div></span>Riverside Elementary Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09968168003430183330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206940100419166651.post-45135459738249154872010-12-03T14:01:00.006-05:002011-01-25T09:48:10.616-05:00Ancient Egyptian Statues<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGrO1sOxgCXUH0PmxtulfjpKBT6HCskX2hAwOvEFpNmHdjMsfjKBIh_SZDT1cUnaZq8v715z5lI2dLV0Ws0BnAktQ_nfqdgTKKGLN52hWIVjQtisLKu_QwJONy7kK7Vzi8Y4T8eHuXFmPX/s1600/DSCF1791.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546533494512365906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGrO1sOxgCXUH0PmxtulfjpKBT6HCskX2hAwOvEFpNmHdjMsfjKBIh_SZDT1cUnaZq8v715z5lI2dLV0Ws0BnAktQ_nfqdgTKKGLN52hWIVjQtisLKu_QwJONy7kK7Vzi8Y4T8eHuXFmPX/s320/DSCF1791.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 214px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqHZGKJlXHKphT9eF6ZeNE3ytSg9b_spDSQObeETpoAslCEsqfrZb5K7sBDgGaoektlkzRKF9PhfwNp7PtmG6VnhEE5g7UnDzm_Ui4otoPn_-j1Ymg-v-VCqoSqZN3k_kHPppepj_3c1I8/s1600/DSCF1790.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546533487148486498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqHZGKJlXHKphT9eF6ZeNE3ytSg9b_spDSQObeETpoAslCEsqfrZb5K7sBDgGaoektlkzRKF9PhfwNp7PtmG6VnhEE5g7UnDzm_Ui4otoPn_-j1Ymg-v-VCqoSqZN3k_kHPppepj_3c1I8/s320/DSCF1790.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 211px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg_DU9GkjZEpBu5PxEdE54yZ0RZuGtLvvDZ4DXdhkXbuzsXeTCnuvX_QRjr_o4CXBmgbPz55VR8AXqEeP2dJSCA1vQSHwSsBQlgNTdI2f9K-4K69iFYixMUSp802bsgLOvN6cWpz7Od5Vu/s1600/DSCF1789.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546533477483334098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg_DU9GkjZEpBu5PxEdE54yZ0RZuGtLvvDZ4DXdhkXbuzsXeTCnuvX_QRjr_o4CXBmgbPz55VR8AXqEeP2dJSCA1vQSHwSsBQlgNTdI2f9K-4K69iFYixMUSp802bsgLOvN6cWpz7Od5Vu/s320/DSCF1789.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 209px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOR57CSONjAATqJCYqTANK4ydujLqruSBchCLWqY8L3BzoJPq_IS-eSvWqiNcT2lRlr6qTmFd2FqY_XHFEoGdypinE_4IvM9gsql9F0pPqHRpgPRIQqET9MShKQtt84hrTMzfkhhJxMfdA/s1600/DSCF1788.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546533468810444066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOR57CSONjAATqJCYqTANK4ydujLqruSBchCLWqY8L3BzoJPq_IS-eSvWqiNcT2lRlr6qTmFd2FqY_XHFEoGdypinE_4IvM9gsql9F0pPqHRpgPRIQqET9MShKQtt84hrTMzfkhhJxMfdA/s320/DSCF1788.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 208px;" /></a> <br />

Students created their Egyptian animal statues and enjoyed writing their names in (a loose) hieroglyphic translation as well as adding details that are characteristic of Egyptian artwork.</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>Riverside Elementary Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09968168003430183330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206940100419166651.post-38789958045334677712010-11-13T16:31:00.005-05:002011-01-25T09:49:00.993-05:00Perspective Cities<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiEYNZd7JzFtA9RpjwoqATxmtRf7X4YmQzXcbKGrCh-DttVhZb42qU1L_bd4jQ2Dq22z5Rc2-88TkzWVQTjMTJMNXMZMSi3ZaI8XQNd7SkPVEtLg4ZJRkzIKFROORvaCSzOpdT0ahlfVUn/s1600/DSCF1772.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539150809528695810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiEYNZd7JzFtA9RpjwoqATxmtRf7X4YmQzXcbKGrCh-DttVhZb42qU1L_bd4jQ2Dq22z5Rc2-88TkzWVQTjMTJMNXMZMSi3ZaI8XQNd7SkPVEtLg4ZJRkzIKFROORvaCSzOpdT0ahlfVUn/s320/DSCF1772.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 218px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNENODLVP8JvlZR-aHcyHZSq3wdFVbSuOoo45Z1igIKgjHsVIr0fyXpXQiK3EAbqCsCwO0x2uNqWSjKO3jkRKUmZyrp1wV3Qz8mw81K3AmQjuqm7SLndL-Utu-W_75zY43ct2DkugTVc3o/s1600/DSCF1773.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539150684215356834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNENODLVP8JvlZR-aHcyHZSq3wdFVbSuOoo45Z1igIKgjHsVIr0fyXpXQiK3EAbqCsCwO0x2uNqWSjKO3jkRKUmZyrp1wV3Qz8mw81K3AmQjuqm7SLndL-Utu-W_75zY43ct2DkugTVc3o/s320/DSCF1773.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 214px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO4jAXj5UOGIV67fp7mZQyRxK6TjrNQNY8PYrzowBs4a4wnegyT4T9SHiXviZsq-n05PoxxF7FABwCbBNtyxB_8eOK4Ljy2Yu4PKCCMOnTIfwJ2VgvicR3lmVW3jyWoQ4D9c11r6-ul-Ky/s1600/DSCF1771.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539150677119502802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO4jAXj5UOGIV67fp7mZQyRxK6TjrNQNY8PYrzowBs4a4wnegyT4T9SHiXviZsq-n05PoxxF7FABwCbBNtyxB_8eOK4Ljy2Yu4PKCCMOnTIfwJ2VgvicR3lmVW3jyWoQ4D9c11r6-ul-Ky/s320/DSCF1771.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 214px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ3rRue5Mm55vZu6kVOQaXhsLscUaODKifANw1dWJqkCmOiSeD2v1NNvUx0T7zb-c4nyhQX9F_SELyQN8kSIMJhBc31F8PMlaaGIwFbGH8WZsJ9DFrmwb9Wg3AS2sCDPQlpJIiNQFhbalp/s1600/DSCF1770.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539150667300789826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ3rRue5Mm55vZu6kVOQaXhsLscUaODKifANw1dWJqkCmOiSeD2v1NNvUx0T7zb-c4nyhQX9F_SELyQN8kSIMJhBc31F8PMlaaGIwFbGH8WZsJ9DFrmwb9Wg3AS2sCDPQlpJIiNQFhbalp/s320/DSCF1770.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 214px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj17vp0KynioJPYhnoY_XwYfqUMF4l6bBRIQtkzo0R6V0eL3GiovOqrQeC1DdTWixpbqXPFMVgfF71G4baSxuuGaktrL52Ydbi01f_dxtmjHBkRWOCrgDeSaSLnQNzb1XLEOYrULUdXa28p/s1600/DSCF1769.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539150660436340962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj17vp0KynioJPYhnoY_XwYfqUMF4l6bBRIQtkzo0R6V0eL3GiovOqrQeC1DdTWixpbqXPFMVgfF71G4baSxuuGaktrL52Ydbi01f_dxtmjHBkRWOCrgDeSaSLnQNzb1XLEOYrULUdXa28p/s320/DSCF1769.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 216px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXBBMf6RgI9xk3yBjCpj3mmzQ61747NBPz3rHRcdV5byrsbhVk2x9SZEqYfM-fbh8QkKkeQzngVClWAWjpPKgZDsLJx2CwhE-wdpq1VPBynwAaRfSnOjYR4RJvy77WqxlOnpwfjwWZXXBn/s1600/DSCF1768.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539150654091211682" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXBBMf6RgI9xk3yBjCpj3mmzQ61747NBPz3rHRcdV5byrsbhVk2x9SZEqYfM-fbh8QkKkeQzngVClWAWjpPKgZDsLJx2CwhE-wdpq1VPBynwAaRfSnOjYR4RJvy77WqxlOnpwfjwWZXXBn/s320/DSCF1768.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 217px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a> <br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">The 5th Grade students learned about drawing in Perspective to show depth and dimension. After practicing the technical drawing skills, students were encouraged to create their own city. Students were asked to draw at least 3 things in perspective (buildings, road, etc.). Afterwards, they traced their lines with Sharpies and used a variety of watercolor techniques to add color. Students then used colored pencils to enhance areas of their artwork and really make them stand out. I'm impressed with all of the different ideas the students came up with!</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>Riverside Elementary Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09968168003430183330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206940100419166651.post-71128435888563199772010-11-13T16:27:00.004-05:002011-01-26T08:26:32.010-05:00Scarecrows<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNqb5wz98w0YmBRwSad1BJxs5BRbdXQKpP0KTVujL_xXjHxJh1upd8SszJ-SDnGPqqKLR4wgK-RUD30amHgS6zycGWWX9ebXiJowdypFAm-IXcnPcROuicP5bf6CkTYpg5dBhYmD7YnBrt/s1600/DSCF1766.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539149585697505650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNqb5wz98w0YmBRwSad1BJxs5BRbdXQKpP0KTVujL_xXjHxJh1upd8SszJ-SDnGPqqKLR4wgK-RUD30amHgS6zycGWWX9ebXiJowdypFAm-IXcnPcROuicP5bf6CkTYpg5dBhYmD7YnBrt/s320/DSCF1766.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 205px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQe_U7LWboC_AMe2hJ1Eqq5XztdvEoiPo2ailHbx74VlZve8W0Uh3FCZ7N1TX5vuoAN_wprdwYqTNGQPQt2KTgX90qkF6ea9Q0QzY0h7OrId7szuWACyB3v6W-Sd2NuSKPik81bFfTkwyN/s1600/DSCF1765.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539149577232017234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQe_U7LWboC_AMe2hJ1Eqq5XztdvEoiPo2ailHbx74VlZve8W0Uh3FCZ7N1TX5vuoAN_wprdwYqTNGQPQt2KTgX90qkF6ea9Q0QzY0h7OrId7szuWACyB3v6W-Sd2NuSKPik81bFfTkwyN/s320/DSCF1765.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 207px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Yfl7ikec7hRoiipWfhmrGD0GYfAxerTb-lz7BioDrBWwFRPWVVKdEzOHE19mjN_pWYyoJq-pJal2LGD60QuOvbzmYaDV_naK6D9dY1tmMfgKmFlSnMntjzwaw6bbPmnSTarfchcgPGBo/s1600/DSCF1767.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539149572261384402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Yfl7ikec7hRoiipWfhmrGD0GYfAxerTb-lz7BioDrBWwFRPWVVKdEzOHE19mjN_pWYyoJq-pJal2LGD60QuOvbzmYaDV_naK6D9dY1tmMfgKmFlSnMntjzwaw6bbPmnSTarfchcgPGBo/s320/DSCF1767.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 207px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0fjVUytQRkiShKSe95SWcn6qwgubQQGVrhnBD_e-3rx3QM0rnxoEHnLAnbfVJfD7X-TIMZAQ8Wil1PmXhzJyOlPs0D_-AVGqkpbFC7NcduBu5SHJx9F4uq-45_8t2XRwEU9rURpRVjpEO/s1600/DSCF1764.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539149570322632914" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0fjVUytQRkiShKSe95SWcn6qwgubQQGVrhnBD_e-3rx3QM0rnxoEHnLAnbfVJfD7X-TIMZAQ8Wil1PmXhzJyOlPs0D_-AVGqkpbFC7NcduBu5SHJx9F4uq-45_8t2XRwEU9rURpRVjpEO/s320/DSCF1764.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 210px;" /></a> <br />

The 3rd Grade students have taken the idea of the Coat of Arms and put a modern twist on it for a 'beginning of the year' project. Each student chose their shield design and divided the space into different sections to illustrate aspects of their personalities and unique interests. They are all so unique and wonderfully colorful!Riverside Elementary Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09968168003430183330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206940100419166651.post-50526885027159777642010-09-15T13:30:00.007-04:002011-01-26T08:29:49.721-05:00Self Portraits<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5-fJ1EQxQygYBSS6owkvb2Bgai93D8vNukR00XvnPx2pbgRJ41Y3Cvo5j6C43q086bXcFZ_MQ9zESAsUOCEjZgEmFiK3EVb5-bG7zl2vObuHyybcoCvM4SJ4qyEvRgbY-fBjFXcd9_WPI/s1600/DSCF1745.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517194394883367586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5-fJ1EQxQygYBSS6owkvb2Bgai93D8vNukR00XvnPx2pbgRJ41Y3Cvo5j6C43q086bXcFZ_MQ9zESAsUOCEjZgEmFiK3EVb5-bG7zl2vObuHyybcoCvM4SJ4qyEvRgbY-fBjFXcd9_WPI/s320/DSCF1745.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 243px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8me3h4kbohA0lL90x2FJBer_p4791uH5gN6SI7c6dlkKaw0xG8i5cGpwe3gWKSQBfvU1WzZt6LuM8Yl0R5Aifkd3lQ0-saojvxSiLiEapIFy3LlPxLD6jJep5yFSZmQahSdm26nFsZrA9/s1600/DSCF1743.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517194381891841074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8me3h4kbohA0lL90x2FJBer_p4791uH5gN6SI7c6dlkKaw0xG8i5cGpwe3gWKSQBfvU1WzZt6LuM8Yl0R5Aifkd3lQ0-saojvxSiLiEapIFy3LlPxLD6jJep5yFSZmQahSdm26nFsZrA9/s320/DSCF1743.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 249px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfmcGnyWcTg8j_-23AqcqZ8zNy7plwCHaWaAuiFSOlydkbuMtnCw7oaw_-UCZpXXKXlAgMXqbEAlYtLnz7T0o571ZCdpsm8ZWbPK5rjvYsXBe08lDFnFfmop79d6AV6ctS9ZMpVy41yN-d/s1600/DSCF1744.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517194376231703634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfmcGnyWcTg8j_-23AqcqZ8zNy7plwCHaWaAuiFSOlydkbuMtnCw7oaw_-UCZpXXKXlAgMXqbEAlYtLnz7T0o571ZCdpsm8ZWbPK5rjvYsXBe08lDFnFfmop79d6AV6ctS9ZMpVy41yN-d/s320/DSCF1744.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 250px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN04pxgvI0hKOUw9qmCmmG5RFaPCG8JLZYNrzpS5bnbXEuwsLRLUpXcQB-3QKpimE0RiOVjAUbJ2LiSnB2C7a6tEEF8kmyN8-cMPfJkuHVKVB3U_oiPFQOV_PqscHuRjwift03gOJAZTbS/s1600/DSCF1746.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517194367766686498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN04pxgvI0hKOUw9qmCmmG5RFaPCG8JLZYNrzpS5bnbXEuwsLRLUpXcQB-3QKpimE0RiOVjAUbJ2LiSnB2C7a6tEEF8kmyN8-cMPfJkuHVKVB3U_oiPFQOV_PqscHuRjwift03gOJAZTbS/s320/DSCF1746.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 246px;" /></a>I was asked to participate in a fundraiser for our school through "<a href="http://www.originalworks.com/">Original Works</a>". Since we are limited in size and media, I decided that it would be a good idea to have the students create a Self Portrait! I've found that often times, when asked to draw a Self Portrait, many students forget some of their features--eyebrows, ears, etc. These are great because it helps the kids to learn about drawing from observation by using a mirror and focusing on proportions, space and details. The 4th Grade students used colored pencils and watercolors to create these artworks and they are turning out GREAT across all grade levels!Riverside Elementary Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09968168003430183330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206940100419166651.post-1268192414377640512010-09-15T13:21:00.003-04:002011-01-26T08:32:43.089-05:00The Very Hungry Caterpillar<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtC0wjYlH3j5uZ7fk6TE0Pk-8TdTBo6k8nF2hKhznh2yKAI-8c8tzmyyU5DukBbgL9ASPlIWtKYEblbo0tk6QD7YzPqQzbxUCj4wVY6Krf0JP8HY_5tEHTDDCvZowdSvxNYrrgyThjj5nF/s1600/DSCF1741.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517192137503130258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtC0wjYlH3j5uZ7fk6TE0Pk-8TdTBo6k8nF2hKhznh2yKAI-8c8tzmyyU5DukBbgL9ASPlIWtKYEblbo0tk6QD7YzPqQzbxUCj4wVY6Krf0JP8HY_5tEHTDDCvZowdSvxNYrrgyThjj5nF/s320/DSCF1741.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 79px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /><br />

I like to begin the year by introducing my 1st graders to the Elements of Art. We talked about 'Texture' first and students had an opportunity to use crayons to create texture rubbings. They painted their circle of textures with watercolors, cut it out (which helps exercise those motor skills) and added it to the caterpillar body. Thanks to Mr. Stoller at <a href="http://thomaselementaryart.blogspot.com/">Thomas Elementary</a> for the idea!</div><br />

We learned about Adinkra symbols that are used culturally in Ghana, Africa to represent different aspects of life, love and spirit. Each student chose a symbol that they identified with and used tools to carve their stamp from an EZ-Cut linoleum block. They created their own artworks and then used their stamp to contribute this collaborative artwork on a 4'x4' piece of birch plywood. Each student also contributed to painting the border which they voted on to be the colors of the Ghana flag. This piece is proudly displayed at the end of the 5th Grade hallway for all to see.Riverside Elementary Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09968168003430183330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206940100419166651.post-74499564203159254532010-08-23T21:11:00.001-04:002011-01-26T08:31:04.856-05:00A Fresh Start<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">Welcome to the new and improved Riverside Elementary Art Blog!

After reading the story and creating a list of animal characteristics they observed in the Wild Things, students began to create their own. Students sketched four different Wild Things of their own and chose their favorite one for their final artwork. Once they made their selections, students learned about Printmaking. Each student made four color prints from the stamp they created.
