<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Please </span>understand that we miss the kids at school quite a bit. Accommodating things like art class is difficult because many of your children do not have access to certain supplies. That said, my hope is that sharing this blog of mine will inspire you to explore what things you do have. Explore your resources.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I will be adding posts to this blog that will act as a guide, advice for things you and your family can do to keep busy, mentally stimulated and healthy. I ask that you also consider some of the older posts, although adapting the resources mentioned may be in order. For example, string may need to be replaced with wire or ripped fabric. Certain clay can be replaced with home-made flour recipes. Again, be creative.</span></div>

<div style="color: #bf9000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This unit is done with my third grade students. Each year we study Leonardo DaVinci and his marvelous significance to our world. We discuss his mysterious designs, inventions, <a href="http://funart4kids.blogspot.com/search/label/Leonardo%20DaVinci">mirror writing (see here) </a>and more. This year kids are combining this information with a final project that reflects this knowledge and their own creativity.</span></div>
<div style="color: #bf9000;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #bf9000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They are creating a <span style="color: #93c47d;">tape lift image collage</span> with a personal drawing of <span style="color: #93c47d;">an invention</span> added in for effect. They will also incorporate <a href="http://funart4kids.blogspot.com/search/label/Leonardo%20DaVinci"><span style="color: #93c47d;">mirror writing</span></a> (click) in the design. </span></div>
<div style="color: #bf9000;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #ffe599;">
<span style="font-size: large;">See the steps below.</span></div>
<div style="color: #ffe599;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKc85iCK9BVKEMeUUBG9nRsxtud2rGzaGV377Wtkcl-E9GVnIYYkELHpKUXozUDYn0nb7woc6uXNHOTuUoSzlYosJwWFVQEHW2qEkQiqzNzAoLkRQTSbQ2HM40XJeUS8vrxHw1m3y_Oks/s1600/LeonardoDirections.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKc85iCK9BVKEMeUUBG9nRsxtud2rGzaGV377Wtkcl-E9GVnIYYkELHpKUXozUDYn0nb7woc6uXNHOTuUoSzlYosJwWFVQEHW2qEkQiqzNzAoLkRQTSbQ2HM40XJeUS8vrxHw1m3y_Oks/s640/LeonardoDirections.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #ffe599;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="color: #93c47d;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Offer photocopies to your students (colored or black and white) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Have them use good, sticky masking tape to press over the copies.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Rub with fingers or nails for a few seconds, then lift it off. (do not panic if some paper comes up....it will all look cool later)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Place the faint image on Oak Tag paper- I like it because it is already tinted and aged! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Continue- rub images and overlap them as you wish- fill in spaces.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">You can add mirror writing, your own drawings, etc.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-size: large;">Then tint some glue or Mod Podge with watercolor paint or regular paints (be create) and spread over the area. You can dab and rub it off with brown paper towels. Some of my towel ripped off and stuck and made a fabulous effect, yeah! </span><br />
<div style="color: #bf9000;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #bf9000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some ideas-</span></div>
<div style="color: #bf9000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can bind the class pages together as a book for open house, conference time or keep them all separate.</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj_gSVb_EMY&t=316s</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">regarding plant structures, we dove right into the parts of a sunflower, ripping them apart and studying them to increase our ability to draw their likeliness in honor of <span style="color: #bf9000;">Vincent Van Gogh.</span> Students also explored the life and works of Van Gogh and are creating works which reflect his style with unique creative choices made by these wonderful young explorers! We were happy to collaborate with the third grade homeroom teachers and their summer writing prompt based on Van Gogh.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This link to the VanGogh Museum is incredible! It will take you on a virtual tour. <b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Only click the link if your parent is there and gives you permission</b></span></span><b> to enter the museum.</b></span><br />

<h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Curriculum is ever-changing and based on the needs and environment of each unique group/child or setting.</span></h2>
<h2>
We make the art classroom a safe place for discovery.</h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">We encourage the process of problem solving through trial and error without the pressure of failing.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">
Students are encouraged to be successful on their level, but raise their confidence to try things that promote growth and understanding.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">
We feel that wisdom in the arts is based on a well rounded experience of exploration through verbal and auditory processing, visual interpretation and hands on discovery.</span></h2>

<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">First, we drew our design directly with a brush and black paint. The next class, we moved between colorful tempera paint stations.</span><br />

<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ffe599;">This is a favorite thing of mine- a secret side passion for sale by email as I am just starting to get my home studio set and register them on Etsy.

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Consider ways to add flowers, like holes where they can be stuck by the "fairy" who lives there.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Troll houses, snail pets....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">I will add photos as I complete more with the kids. </span><br />

some of you have read, Prang has offered up a fair challenge for

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">TheTiconderoga pencils are actually smoother as well....no kidding! I really never spent the time to notice it- but I would recommend keeping them in stock for your classroom for an inexpensive solution to capturing grey scale values without the expense of fine artist pencils.</span></span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although it may be difficult to see in this picture, the war between the competitors markers went well. Prangs colors held up and actually were more opaque than the other brand. I will be watching to see which ones hold up for a duration in the room- so check back.</span></span></div>

I will say that the Prang brush included in the pack won for quality, however. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Thank you</span> to the Prang company for allowing educators to have such a hands on opportunity to play with their fabulous materials!
