Vincent VanGogh

Third Grade Artist Study: After watching a video clip from Mr. MeMaio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj_gSVb_EMY&t=316s 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 Vincent Van Gogh. 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. This link to the VanGogh Museum is incredible! It will take you on a virtual tour. Only click the link if your parent is there and gives you permission to enter the museum. Parents: I do not recommend the Museum adjacent to this one. https://360stories.com/amsterdam/point/front-of-van-gogh-museum https://360stories.com/amsterd...

Leaf Bowls

Fourth Grade Leaf Bowls I love these fun fall leaves . They are quite easy to do if you are fortunate enough to have a kiln at your fingertips! Each student starts with a fist sized lump of potters clay . Review and complete wedging of the clay as usual (to prepare it from air bubbles, etc.) Simply roll the clay into 1/4" slabs using rolling pins and two guide sticks which help you get an even result. Place a large leaf over the clay- facing up so that the veins are down. I have them select leaves as big as their hand- spread wide. Roll the leaf twice to press the design into the clay . Use a sharp trimming tool (thin/long nails, an opened thick paper clip or better clay tools work well here) to cut the outline of the leaf shape. Smooth the rough edges with one finger and a bit of water. Lay some plastic wrap, a paper towel or a thin cotton cloth inside of a disposable paper bowl. Lay your clay leaf inside of t...

Interactive Spring Bubble Snakes

A fun idea with your bubble wrap prints. I was breaking brain cells trying to come up with a cool art project for my second grade bubble print papers. The original printing lesson can be seen here. So, after some thought, I came up with these interactive "springy" snakes... they really do spring and bounce when held by their popsicle stick tongues! This fun-factor makes them a hit with the kids. 1. Draw a spiral on the back of your paper. End with a head shape that is fat enough to not break easily. Cut while fixing/trimming the tail area to look pointed. See a free template at Art Projects for Kids. 2. Add a popsicle stick tongue. Double sided foam dots work great! They are strong and ready to hold well immediately. 3. Glue on the eyes of your choice. 4. You may have kids draw belly lines on the other side. 5. Name your new friend, hold their tongues and take them for a bouncy walk. ...
