Easy-Peasy Visual Arts Lessons

Visual Arts is definitely not my forte, but I do however enjoy it. I know some teachers hate glue and supplies and anything that can make a little mess, but we all know, that's what the kids love! LOL. So there are two lessons-- One for the neat and clean teacher and one for the teacher that doesn't mind getting a little messy. For the past few weeks we have been working on various elements of design. We started off with an easy lesson handed down from a colleague, which I tweaked a bit. It's easy, but turns out lovely. This is "Fall Inspired", but you could definitely adapt this for any season (using various colours). Our focus was the effect of warm and cool colours on a piece of art.

My dear friends Stephanie and Matt and their daughters Hazel and Nola are part of a large community who have committed themselves to educating and promoting the inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome. They have vowed to not only Rock Their Socks, but have made it...

Elementary Ideas

Quick post tonight.... Last week Christine and I posted some Remembrance Day painting pics. It was an idea that we brainstormed over a cup of coffee a few weeks back. We often try to create ideas that can reach across many grades, with increased expectations as the grade level changes. Here is the visual arts activity in Christine's grade 3 classroom----The students also brainstormed words for Remembrance Day and chose a sentence that explained how they felt. Here is my group of grade 7's art. The students used various elements of design such as line, shape, colour and texture. The students then created many questions and comments from varying perspectives-- The wrote from the point of view of a grade 7 student, a soldier returning from war, and a poppy in Flanders Fields. Here's a peak at their final product: Last week we also dove into various text forms such as graphic texts and narratives. Below are a few pics of my ...
