Power Point story

We had to do a Power Point story. We had to include 2 drawings created in Microsoft Paint and a digital photo. My story was about me and how I enjoy sunny days and my family.

Team Teaching: Math

"Telling Time With the Grouchy Ladybug"

Grade: 1st

Subject: Math

Class Time: 30 minutes

Concepts: Students will apply concepts of coloring ability and their ability to tell time.

Objectives: The students will demonstrate an understanding of using clocks to tell time by using manipulatives they created with 100% accuracy. (QCC 1st grade standard 3) The students will use a variety of art materials and techniques to model, construct, and compose original artworks.

Motivation: Show students The Grouchy Ladybug book. Tell them it will help them with telling time. Ask students what their favorite time of day is.

Vocabulary: Clock, hands, arrow, o'clock, time, hour, clockwise, counter-clockwise

Instructional Strategies:

Show the large clock and how its hand moves.

Ask students to state reasons why we need clocks.

Today, we will learn to tell time with the grouchy ladybug and fun clocks. Before we can do that, we need to discuss some key words that may be unclear or have more than one meaning so that when we use them to tell time, we all know how to interpret those words.

Modifications: Students with special needs can work with a partner.

Assessment: Students will be asked to hold up their clocks with the time specified showing in order to do an "around the room" quick glance at the clocks. Each student must be able to move the clock hands to show a specified time with 100% accuracy. Students will also be assessed on the design of their ladybugs including neatness and creativity.

Materials/Supplies:

The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle

ladybug clock cut outs for each student

Paper and pencil

Various coloring utensils

Fasteners

Large teacher clock

Resources:

The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle

Closing Statement:

As a class, review the activity with the clocks and ask them questions about telling time by the hour. Ask students what they liked the most about the story? What was the best part of learning to tell time this way?

High Musuem Visit

This my visit to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. The sculpture is by Auguste Rodin. The sculpture belongs to the High Museum in memoriam of the 122 Atlanta Art Association members who lost their lives in a plane crash on June 3, 1962 at Orly Field, Paris. It was a gift from the French government.

Story Board

Our story board had to tell a story and have a beginning, middle, and end. I did the 4 stages of the life cycle of a Butterfly's Life Cycle from egg to caterpillar to pupa to adult butterfly. I used a film strip to show the order of these events.

Imaginative Art Game

We had to create an imaginative art game. I did a color test. Directions: There are words on each card and 2 options to choose from. Select the COLOR of the word, not the word! Flip the cards quickly. This is good to test whether the child can recognize colors or color words. The game can also be played by identifying the color word.

Castle

We had to create a city or a castle environment using recyclable materials. I used coke cans and a juice carton. I could use this in my classroom when talking about recycling or places that people live, etc.

ABC book

This is my ABC book called Butterflies from A to Z. I searched for different butterfly species and classifications. I used oil pastels for the butterflies. Each butterfly was hand drawn and I used the oil pastels to show the details and differences of each butterfly.

Art to Music

We had to listen to music while painting. I can't remember exactly the song we listened to while I painted this one, but I know it was kind of happy music since I did the balloons. It was probably very uplifting and kind of weird since I painted the clouds purple.

"Umbrella"

We listened to the "Umbrella" song by Rihanna and had to paint a picture while listening to the song.

Fruit Bowl

We had to re-create a picture of a fruit bowl in 30 minutes. We had to paint, but could not use paint brushes. It took me 10 minutes and I used my fingers!

Pig clay creation

Hello Kitty clay creation

Integrated Art Project for Math

This is my integrated art project using Math. I did a tree that serves as the base or foundation for the tree. The magic number is written on the trunk or the base. The apples serve as number sentences that equal the magic number. Each apple has a different number sentence. It could be used for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Integrated Art Project for Science

This is my integrated art project for Science. I took a 2 liter bottle and drew out a template of a fish. I stapled the bottle together for the body and the tail. I would use this fish when talking about fish in Science, maybe how they breathe. I could also use it when talking about recycling since I did use the 2 liter bottle.

Diorama

We had to find an issue in the world that we felt strongly about and illustrate the issue inside a shoe box. We had to include 2-D and 3-D features. I basically chose same sex marriage and how we really can't judge someone based on who they love. I include the Love is patient, kind, etc. poem to show that everyone goes through the same situations when they are in love and how we should love one another based on those same views.

Own Painting Technique

We had to make up our own painting technique and create a picture using the technique. I used marbles and tempera paint. It was really fun and messy too!

My World

We had to select a color family that relates to our world and the picture could be realistic or fantasy. I chose the cool color family that is made of cool colors such as blues, greens, purples, etc. I feel like the cool colors described the laid back mood that I was in. I used butterflies once again to show how my world revolves around my love for them.

Mixed Media Landscape

We had to create a mixed media landscape or cityscape. I choose a landscape of a pond because I enjoy nature and I love the water. I used markers, crayons, tempera and water color paint.

Self Portrait

We had to create a self portrait mixed with collage with a poem using decorative letters. I did an acrostic poem where each letter of my name stands for something about me. I used aluminum foil for the butterfly. I used a butterfly mask cause I like butterflies and I feel like they are very much part of my life right now. Different medias that I used was crayon, marker, paint, etc.

Paper Bead Necklace

We had to design a necklace using paper beads and real beads and made with a pendant. My pendant was made using a paper clip and some leftover beads. The paper beads were created by wrapping cut pieces of paper around a tooth pick and securing the ends with glue.

Chapter 7 Power Point Outline: Painting

Chapter 7: Painting At the Heart of the Studio Experience II
by: Rhonda Clark

Introduction
*Marks of drawings and paintings are found everywhere
*Children grow their artistic expression as they manipulate, explore, and control color
*Children produce paintings that say something about their reaction to experiences
*Some children enter school with a wide range of experience in art, while some have none at all

Painting Media & Techniques
*Tempera is most suitable for beginners
*Powdered tempera is the most inexpensive
*Powdered tempera has textual qualities that can be varied
*Use a variety of paper and brush sizes
*Large sheets of paper allow for large strokes
*Acceptable paper: newsprint, manila, Bogus and kraft
*Paintbrushes range from very stiff to very soft and are usually round or flat

Painting Media & Techniques continued…
*Purchase larger bristle brushes for young children (10-in handle, ½-in flat bristles)
*The more children experiment with art media, the longer their attention span becomes
*Start students with only one color
*Accidents with mixing colors should be encouraged
*Paint should be distributed in small containers

Teaching Painting Media & Techniques
*Attempt to enlarge student’s color vocabulary by naming colors as they’re used
*Children’s first experiments in painting is during the manipulate and symbolic stages and likely brush drawings
*Accept the strategies that students use and get them to talk about their work during the evaluation period

Teaching Painting Media & Techniques continued…
*Background music helps improve rhythm of lines and color areas
*Ask students to imagine a scene or an experience to provide a painting direction
*Also provide children with real-life experiences
*Encourage students to talk about their painting

Developing Color Awareness
*Children may be concerned with the relationship of background to foreground at the early preadolescent stage
*Children increase their choices by learning more about mixing colors; this can also save paint
*The ability to mix tints and shades broaden students’ ability to use color

Color & Art History
*Use works of art as a frame of reference to study color
*Types of color use:
Symbolic: like symbols on a shield
Realistic: based on actual color of subject
Flat: as in minimal or hard-edged painting
Moods: like in theatre set designs

Perspective
*Perspective is similar to teaching sensitivity to color
*Works by painters such as van Gogh and Braque can show students examples of ways artists have distorted, adjusted and exaggerated principles of perspective
*Space can be studied by examining color in nonobjective paintings (no objects exist to distract viewer from perceiving the art’s use of color in the painting)

Examples from the history of art
*Chinese or Persian placement of objects
*Renaissance use of linear perspective
*Cubist dissolution of Renaissance-type space
*Photographic techniques using aerial views, linear perspective and usual points of view in landscape subjects
*Renewed interest in spatial relationships

Linear Perspective
*A system developed during the Renaissance that provides a set of rules or guidelines for rendering objects and buildings with an appearance of three dimensions
*Keep in mind that many children produce successful work without using linear perspective

Ideas for Older Children
*Study political and social issues
*Study the universal themes through the history of art across cultures and centuries
*Use fantasy or imagination
*Recognize styles of painting and historical influences
*Use internal thought processes and moods to work from introspection
