ART CLUB!!

This year I decided to start and after-school art club. Due to the overwhelming number of interested students, I divided art club into two days. I created a Donor's Choose to buy the supplies I wanted to work with. So far, we have done two clay projects. The first were miniature animals, and the second was an experiment with using glass pieces. We have also done min paintings on craft sticks, watercolor workshops, started paper-mache projects and experimented with acrylic paint pouring. Here are some of the projects:

Name Transformations

  For the first mini drawing project, students were asked to write their first names in bubble or block letters and transform them into objects that reflect their unique personalities. Here are some amazing examples!!

3rd and 4th Grade Symmetrical Name Aliens

Third and Fourth Grade started the year off with a lesson on symmetry and pattern. After writing their names on a folded piece of paper, the names were cut out and details added. Patterns were introduced and added to their name aliens.

Pattern Names

The pattern name project was the initial piece for a larger unit of study. Student's were challenged with writing their names in block or bubble capital letters. All letters had to overlap the previous one. After sketching out their names, they had to fill each letter with a different pattern. The spaces where the letters overlapped also had to be different patterns. Students were challenged to create interesting and varied patterns. After creating their patterns, students erased the lettered outlines and colored their patterns with sharpie. Once they were finished, the patterns created the forms of their letters in unique and bold ways.
