Hello Summer, and summer school classes! Over three weeks these girls constructed their own giant hula hoop, discovered many hula hooping techniques and tricks and created a round woven rug or wall hanging from recycled fabric and fibers. Great job ladies, I had so much fun with you, keep up the hula-ing! <br />
<br />
hula hoop supplies from the hardware store: PVC piping 3/4 inch or 1 inch (cut to the length desired I did 8,9, and 10 feet for 4-6 grade students), double ended connector pieces (same size as your tubing) Hot water and container (to warm the ends of the tubing to fit the connector piece into both ends of the tube) electrical tape (variety of colors) some of the students also wrapped their hula hoop with yarn, you could also paint them if you primed it first. Lastly, yarn and fabric scraps for weaving portion of the class. <br />

We went to the Fondy market on Saturday morning in Milwaukee and created this delicious salad with our findings. This salad contains: mixed greens, spinach, balsamic roasted beets, peels of carrot, honey-goat cheese, roasted almond slices, dried cranberries and s & p. Sourdough on the side. SO GOOD! Justin and I like to dream about opening a restaurant someday, we decided this would be called the 'the market.'</div>Molly Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13428667742236246874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649766037704599810.post-59940905931911545062012-06-25T16:33:00.000-05:002012-06-25T16:33:14.669-05:00flower emulations<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I forgot to post these--Giant Flower Emulations by the 3rd graders! This was their last unit of the year-- I wish I would have had more time, the end of the year came so quickly! Next year, I hope to start earlier in the Spring. For this project, each student chose a different flower (completely randomly from a stack of cards that I made.) I taught them some basic sculptural techniques that work well with paper and we talked about the appearance, textures, colors etc of flower and plant species. We used construction paper, oil pastel, colored masking tape, tissue paper, construction paper and glue. Some flowers turned out huge, bigger than the student! Great installation project in the hallway. Next year, I'll talk pictures of them with their flowers to show the scale- fun project!</div>Molly Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13428667742236246874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649766037704599810.post-8474226104728566412012-06-04T18:55:00.000-05:002012-06-05T18:48:59.162-05:00Monet- First Grade<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Hundertwasser inspired second graders created these motifs based on nature. The first step was to create painted paper with found objects (so fun!) then cut up and collage. I encourage them to do an "art paste sandwich" (art paste, paper, art paste) which helps the paper lay flat and mixes the tempera painted paper as you work. I found these fun one inch punches at Michael's a while back, you'll see lots of polka dots popping up in our work recently :)</div>Molly Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13428667742236246874noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649766037704599810.post-57470505737263023352012-05-10T19:59:00.000-05:002012-05-10T19:59:58.328-05:00Rhythmic Rings<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Recycled art by the third graders! We rolled, and rolled..and rolled paper and created a collaborative recycled paper installation outside the art room. Each student created their own panel to contribute to the installation. Beyond the use of paper, we used tons and tons of recycled caps from old markers, glue sticks and recycled items from the lunch room. Nice junk sculpture 3rd Grade!</div>Molly Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13428667742236246874noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649766037704599810.post-8116511227838102032012-05-07T21:10:00.003-05:002012-05-07T21:13:31.790-05:00t.p TUBE art<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I pre-chopped TONS of recycled t.p. tubes (thanks to all of the devoted recyclers in our community!) for this project during recycled art month in the art room. Then, the second graders arranged and rearranged the tube pieces into arrangements on mat boards. The second graders dipped one side of the ring into art paste and then attached it to the board. Next class period, they painted. Easy-peasy lemon squeezy.</div>Molly Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13428667742236246874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649766037704599810.post-49137616467732357312012-05-05T14:38:00.000-05:002012-05-05T14:38:41.443-05:00Chin Colle Lanterns<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Inspired by traditional Chinese lanterns, the fourth graders created four panels using the chin colle technique of layering thin (tissue) paper. After they completed all of their panels the strong them together into a cube form, then added the strings to hang it. We lined the halls with the fourth grade lanterns creations- they were a highlight of family arts night! A few hints for this project: Create a template for students to use to punch the holes evenly on each panel edge. Demonstrate how to string the panels together back to back by tying the string at the top of two panels back to back and then begin wrapping the strings through the hole and around the outside, through the hole and around the outside...continue! This is much faster than stringing them together flat on the table top side by side.</div>Molly Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13428667742236246874noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649766037704599810.post-17225239372356851482012-04-29T13:40:00.000-05:002012-04-29T13:55:19.940-05:00Chihuly inspired 2nd Graders<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Inspired by Chihuly, the 2nd graders created an interpretation of his blown glass work from coffee filters, washable markers and spray starch. They then mounted their sculptures and I hung them from the ceiling. Next, we looked at Chihuly's, 'Niijima Floats' series of drawings, discussing the abstract and experimental nature of they offer. Check them out here: <a href="http://www.chihuly.com/draw-float-drawing-1992_detail.aspx">niijima floats</a> Next, they used chalk pastels and drew from their sculptures that were hung above their tables, pulling colors, patterns, and textures from their own work as well as the work of their peers. They have the option of adding tempera paint (object printing, brushed, splattered, marble rolling) liquid glitter & dry glitter. <br />

Students works in teams to build a structure of choice, then we did a gallery tour and each team presented their creation to the class (talk about wild imaginations!) Next, students recorded their creations by drawing a version of their still life structure on paper. This activity led into the next portion of the unit which was building our school from construction paper shapes and materials in a collage-like format. The focus of this unit was to look, describe and translate shapes into recognizable buildings in their environment. Wow, do kindergarten boys like to build with blocks! <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Inspired by paper dolls, the kindergartners created a collage of their family. They created a background and frame to start. Then, traced people and cut them out added clothing and accessories with drawing materials and/or paper collaging techniques. We also worked on titles and names.The most tricky part of the was tracing and cutting out the people (some lost some body parts along the way!) Next year I would probably make this a 3D project and have each student create a stage or room for their paper doll people to inhabit. </div></div>Molly Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13428667742236246874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649766037704599810.post-62343625318291878472012-03-10T10:22:00.000-06:002012-03-10T10:22:54.458-06:00Picasso Inspired 1St graders<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>The Kindergartners traced shapes on orange construction paper to create a portrait inspired by Paul Klee's original. We talked about cubism and use of shape and color. First traced in pencil, then outlined in ink. Next, we added oil pastel crayon and chalk. Then, watercolor wash in warm tones... and finally rolled tempera paint (also in warm tones.) </div>Molly Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13428667742236246874noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649766037704599810.post-38791513706793700072012-02-23T19:55:00.000-06:002012-02-23T19:55:15.982-06:00Today, you are you!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
