The possibilities are immense. To start this technological journey, I decided to create an interactive keynote presentation on the elements of art and the principles of art.<br />

After I lay down the "ground rules" and set up our sketchbooks (this takes the first couple days of class), we begin our first <em>mini lab</em>. A mini lab is not quite a project; instead it is an exercise that prepares us for an upcoming project. What better way to begin our art adventure than to delve deep into the <em>Elements and Principles of Art</em>.<br />
<br />
Please take a moment to see what previous classes have drawn to illustrate understanding of the Elements and Principles of Art. <br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;">In Middle School art, everyone keeps a sketchbook. We use them practically everyday. In them, we do daily warm ups, sketches (pointing out the obvious, here), and what I like to call mini labs. <br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is how we set up our sketchbooks. I require everyone to do 5 "Sketchbook Ideas" from the chart I provide. It is a HUGE plus, if someone uses that sketchbook beyond what I require. I love it and it makes me smile beyond belief.</td></tr>

The artist Kandinsky was born in Moscow, Russia in 1886. This date is surprising to most 7th graders since so many associate his non-objective style of painting to be modern looking. Also surprising, he studied law and economics. It wasn't until the age of 30 that he began to paint. He dedicated much of his time painting artworks that drew parallels between visual art and music.</div>

7th graders really took time to make these paintings a success. Not only did we discuss the great artist Kandinsky but we also explored color, balance and ultimately how to arrange the elements of art to create an interesting composition. Since music was a focus for Kandinsky we figured out how to show rhythm and movement in designing these beautiful kaleidoscope-like paintings as well. <br />

artist in the early – mid 1900’s.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She is best known for her
up-close paintings of flowers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>… So
close, sometimes, that her subjects tended to look abstract and beautiful in
form, value and color. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This idea of beauty
carried over into anything she made including her paintings of bones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bones are not generally thought to be beautiful
but O’Keeffe was able to share her perspective with anyone that would take
notice to her art work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

bones and used a viewfinder to select an interesting composition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also did a lot of experimenting with
value.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we warmed up using graphite
to create different values, we journeyed to using charcoal (a material that
O’Keeffe used in her early art works).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The journey included the discovery of patience + practice = results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What started as a simple moving line on paper
transformed into a 3-dimensional form. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Color was later added in the negative space to
add contrast and give the illusion of space.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

I think 6th graders did fabulous, but it wasn't until I read their artist statements that I discovered what was going on inside those deeply focused heads. ... and it helps to know that they enjoyed the challenge too.<br />

Then we do a project that I consider a playground to experiment with the elements and principles. <br />
<br />
For 6th graders that playground is the Zendala project. I enjoy this project because it is rich with cultural significance but also dashed with a contemporary twist. The idea is they are creating a design that is symbolic of themselves. Every choice they make is a step towards personal expression. The first decision everyone makes is what type of balance they would like to use - radial, symmetrical, or asymmetrical. I don't hold back that radial is a challenge for me personally, since it requires such precision; it would drive me crazy. Although some do enjoy this challenge. We are all different and this simple fact should be celebrated in everything we do and make. <br />

Doodling is not a mindless
act.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is meaningful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is an escape from reality, it is inspired
by what we see, know, like, and experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
In fact, many contemporary artists have adopted a doodle-ish approach to their artwork. It is a curious trend??? Gets me thinking - WHY?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8th graders collected images of patterns, textures,
lines, and symbols, even quotes, lyrics, and other words that have
meaning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All these things we combined to
create these personalized self-portraits with a doodle-ish twist. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I should mention, contemporary art is not the only focus here. 8th graders also
learned something from the great Albrecht Durer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a mathematician and artist credited
with “inventing” the grid method.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, we
pulled out our rulers and took lots of measurements, creating a grid that
guided us in the drawing these spectacular self-portraits. I found this a great way to warm up to observation drawing ... really helps the eyes and hands stay in sync. </div>

The first day of class, I wanted to find out what my students' thoughts were about ART. After going over the syllabus and procedures in the art room (essentially boring them to death). I gave everyone a post-it note. I prompted them to complete the sentence, "Art is...." I left the format open. They could write a sentence or two, write a poem, draw a picture, .... I was happy to learn that most felt art was a positive thing. Perhaps, I will ask the same question at the end of the quarter to see if the responses have changed or become more complex. We shall see.</div>

If you haven't noticed, lately, my classes have been focusing on Georgia artists. Ugly jugs or face jugs also fall under this umbrella. They are a southern tradition dating back to the Meader family and some would say it goes back even further to the time of slavery. Slaves would make them after the working day was done. Many speculate about why they are so ugly. My research reveals many reasons but the common thread is they are made to be frightening. </div>

He was not always an artist. He once worked at a nature center ... come to think of it ... he may still, because he has a passion and love for nature. None-the-less, he is inspired by animals. Second graders surely noticed this as they viewed his paintings.<br />

I happened to notice how Peter Looses' art had a lot in common with traditional Aboriginal art. So, we compared and contrasted these two distinct artists. </div>

Last school year, I introduced 4th graders to the artwork of Kimmy Cantrell, a Georgia native. They enjoyed making these quirky clay faces so much that I brought it back this year. I experimented a little with the surface but the the objective was the same. Everyone made a face celebrating imperfection by using assymetrical balance, unexpected textures, and expressive features. </div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is an oldie but goodie for
my 3<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">rd</span></sup> graders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find the
years that I decide to embark on this landscape adventure, 3<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">rd</span></sup>
graders love it and have such pride in their completed artwork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is important for the effectiveness of an
art lesson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have certainly tried other
ways to teach depth but I always come back to this one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love that Henri Rousseau is a well-known
Folk artist and I think it is pretty neat that he was never to a jungle yet he
painted jungles based on pictures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is a fact that most 3<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">rd</span></sup> graders can relate to … not many have been
to a jungle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The focus of the project was to
show depth using many techniques from dividing our space into foreground,
middle ground, and a background to overlapping and size variation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We even touched on how the appearance of colors
and details lessen with greater distances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Another thing we noticed with Rousseau’s jungle landscapes was the vast
variety of plant life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also saw the
rainbow of greens any how this variety makes the artwork much more interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After some visual thinking
strategies involving Rousseau’s art, we began by carefully observing and
drawing a variety of plants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we got
to drawing some landscapes.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

drawing in 1 point perspective to show depth. Though, drawing to give the
illusion of space wasn’t the only thing we did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We discovered the fantastical world of Surrealism, where visual artists
and authors use juxtaposing objects or ideas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Why? Well, to cause the viewer to ask, “why.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When viewing Surrealism, people often create
a story that is inspired by personal experiences and feelings to make sense of
what they see. Look at 4th grades’ surreal perspective drawings; try
it … you’ll see.</span></span></div>

He paints things to look so delicious and REAL. How did he get his yummy looking pastries and treats to look so ... yummy? Well, this is how we began our adventure ... wondering this very thing. <br />

He drew 3-D shapes (forms). 2. He added cast shadows and showed value. 3. He made the paint and decorations look like icing. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After sketching some forms we were able to draw all sorts of things from cupcakes to brownies to ice cream cones. Knowing how to draw forms gave use the skills to draw many things. We took it to the next step and designed our own layer cake for a special celebration. We painted them with value and added decorations, a cast shadow, and a space. I looooooooooooooooove these!</div>

They are wonderful! I have to give credit to the PTA for inspiring me to excitedly pull these from my closet; they were looking for art to feature in our school directory. So Creek View friends, keep your eyes open.<br />
<br />
Stories are a great way to start an artwork. In this case, Kindergartner's listened to the famous story written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak, <em>Where the Wild Things are</em>. We talked about the illustrations. Kindergarten noticed the feathers, scales, and fur, which opened the door to the element of art, "texture." Aside from texture, we talked about and used geometric and organic shapes but most importantly, we had fun creating something from our imagination. <br />

After watching a video clip of 3-dimensional art made out of just one piece of paper, 4th graders were amazed that so much can be made from so little. We were inspired to create our own paper sculptures with careful attention to how we balanced our compositions. I love how they turned out and they look great displayed together in a large space. I think next year we are going to up the challenge and truly use only one piece of paper. I can't wait!</div>

Last school year, I set off to learn more about Japanese art, particularly clay. I guess I was just bored of making tea bowls with my second graders. Now, tea bowls are wonderful and as a ceramist, I have deep respect for the tradition. I just wanted to change it up a bit. I stumbled upon Ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arranging), so I decided to explore this idea of playing with balance in how we can arrange flowers as well as what a vase can look like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone loved making these so much last year that I decided to make them again.</div>

Everyone's idea of a home is different or at least it should be ... this is something I remind them. We don't all live in houses that look like a square with a triangle on top. To help move away from that common idea, we start by visualizing and then drawing our homes before making them in clay. </div>
