They were asked to make a holder for something that needs a home. We talked about things like needing a place for thier phones, remotes, bobby pins, make-up brushes, pens and pencils and much more.

Every year, I always struggle on what to hang on the bullitin board since students have yet to create anything for me to hang. This year, I decided to paint my favorite quote!! And as soon as my artists start creating, I will be happy to cover it with their fantastic artwork! <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-GFMjVyH3l_g/VEhDdC95GPI/AAAAAAAACLM/8ehMN8--zvc/s640/blogger-image-831058368.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-GFMjVyH3l_g/VEhDdC95GPI/AAAAAAAACLM/8ehMN8--zvc/s640/blogger-image-831058368.jpg"></a></div>Mrs. Dana Castriganohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02833322889789825234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758940479902491019.post-25316651989194045822014-10-22T16:48:00.001-07:002015-03-10T08:39:22.800-07:00Zentangles!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1oybrQV4fzA/VP8QIQcUG6I/AAAAAAAACfc/N8GbDaJgsNM/s640/blogger-image-1594580482.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1oybrQV4fzA/VP8QIQcUG6I/AAAAAAAACfc/N8GbDaJgsNM/s640/blogger-image-1594580482.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1oybrQV4fzA/VP8QIQcUG6I/AAAAAAAACfc/N8GbDaJgsNM/s640/blogger-image-1594580482.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-qXaBykvLW7c/VP8QKeoxa-I/AAAAAAAACfk/Z4iaFljU90E/s640/blogger-image--1223268294.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-qXaBykvLW7c/VP8QKeoxa-I/AAAAAAAACfk/Z4iaFljU90E/s640/blogger-image--1223268294.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-qXaBykvLW7c/VP8QKeoxa-I/AAAAAAAACfk/Z4iaFljU90E/s640/blogger-image--1223268294.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0S3DtibFY9A/VP8QEJZCH6I/AAAAAAAACfM/NXCDt3p_isM/s640/blogger-image--1571902735.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0S3DtibFY9A/VP8QEJZCH6I/AAAAAAAACfM/NXCDt3p_isM/s640/blogger-image--1571902735.jpg"></a></div></div></div><br></div>Towards the end of the year when the summer is quickly approaching, we all (teachers included) can get a bit silly and crazy. So this year I decided that we needed some ZEN. We created zentangle art!! Zentangles are an art form that uses specific patterns and lines that many find calming and relaxing. It was exactly what we needed!! Students were asked to pick nah object to showcase on the middle with color and then at least 6 sections of different Zentangles around the object. My eighth graders really enjoyed this project. A group of boys decided to work together and each chose a different superhero logo!!! Loved their idea and that they worked together!!! They all really loved it and many did more than one and asked to keep the zentangle packets. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-G490bYyd6Ng/VP8QGX9zXCI/AAAAAAAACfU/HMCAKzyFk78/s640/blogger-image-1875137302.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-G490bYyd6Ng/VP8QGX9zXCI/AAAAAAAACfU/HMCAKzyFk78/s640/blogger-image-1875137302.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-MlR1FTO_p_o/U-jyZBxBYsI/AAAAAAAACIk/4EXIM301NQw/s640/blogger-image-1609590478.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-MlR1FTO_p_o/U-jyZBxBYsI/AAAAAAAACIk/4EXIM301NQw/s640/blogger-image-1609590478.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-V9XSEiLBOqY/VEhCNQLs-2I/AAAAAAAACJ4/PeyUiy7KEP4/s640/blogger-image--1037918784.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-V9XSEiLBOqY/VEhCNQLs-2I/AAAAAAAACJ4/PeyUiy7KEP4/s640/blogger-image--1037918784.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-OaHuKVc9nP0/VEhCHPkhjSI/AAAAAAAACJg/0bXEiZG0ZPI/s640/blogger-image--295908935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-OaHuKVc9nP0/VEhCHPkhjSI/AAAAAAAACJg/0bXEiZG0ZPI/s640/blogger-image--295908935.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--mI0mwPMvqs/VEhCFMxKE5I/AAAAAAAACJY/_dR8cx-kbZ4/s640/blogger-image-49104511.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--mI0mwPMvqs/VEhCFMxKE5I/AAAAAAAACJY/_dR8cx-kbZ4/s640/blogger-image-49104511.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-yIA1B_pmCLE/U-jyeo0mNJI/AAAAAAAACI0/cEey1EWbsXs/s640/blogger-image--752011094.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-yIA1B_pmCLE/U-jyeo0mNJI/AAAAAAAACI0/cEey1EWbsXs/s640/blogger-image--752011094.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-0lKYtdqop98/VEhCJB0ktuI/AAAAAAAACJo/oXfP0al4cIo/s640/blogger-image--517717834.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-0lKYtdqop98/VEhCJB0ktuI/AAAAAAAACJo/oXfP0al4cIo/s640/blogger-image--517717834.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0-ogoR1I2qw/VEhCR_HDvjI/AAAAAAAACKI/BLv3OsNSKag/s640/blogger-image-1820427117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0-ogoR1I2qw/VEhCR_HDvjI/AAAAAAAACKI/BLv3OsNSKag/s640/blogger-image-1820427117.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-f9BrbfMvP_A/U-jygq0drYI/AAAAAAAACI8/2raRBiiezGU/s640/blogger-image--789193559.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-f9BrbfMvP_A/U-jygq0drYI/AAAAAAAACI8/2raRBiiezGU/s640/blogger-image--789193559.jpg"></a></div>Mrs. Dana Castriganohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02833322889789825234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758940479902491019.post-45223888493082338142014-05-15T18:08:00.001-07:002015-05-21T06:19:10.605-07:00Paper planes!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-aGIn37WcMXk/U3Vk8FHMmRI/AAAAAAAACGs/WKqQLx3YgqM/s640/blogger-image-1761859769.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-aGIn37WcMXk/U3Vk8FHMmRI/AAAAAAAACGs/WKqQLx3YgqM/s640/blogger-image-1761859769.jpg"></a></div>I am so impressed with my kiddos on this project!!! The students did such a wonderful job and they were proud of their own work!!! Here are just a few (I will post more soon) of the amazing paper planes. They look so realistic that a few younger students came into my classroom and saw one of these examples on the table and tried grabbing the plane off the paper and were totally surprised that they we're drawn! These were completed using white card stock, pencil, ruler and red and blue colored pencil. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5QestBkVwSU/U3Vk6G6VcuI/AAAAAAAACGk/M-3zQurO5k4/s640/blogger-image--590456670.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It is a joyous and happy way to celebrate someone's life that has passed away. This holiday is celebrated around Halloween and includes skulls as a major role, so many people associate them together, but it is it's own holiday. Dia de Los Muertos is filled with bright colors and skulls as it's theme. For this project, students created crayon resists of skulls. They could choose to draw it about a late family or friend, or just a cool skull image. When we colored we pressed really dark with crayons (some also use oil pastels). Next, we crumpled the paper to create cracks in the wax. Then we painted over it with watered down black paint. The paint should stay in the cracks or anywhere else that was not colored. This gives a really cool effect when finished!!<br>

Since it was fall, I set up a still life (using my document camera) and mini pumpkins and gourds. They were asked to divide the paper into 4 sections any way they chose. Next, they drew the still life lightly in pencil and then began shading!! We really tried to work on shading craftsmanship and I think they did a phenomenal job!<br />

We used magazines to create a simple picture. We wanted the colors to be similar but to use different textures in the pictures to create more interest.<br />

7th graders learned about Picasso this quarter! We put a spin on our Picasso project by having the students recreate a character from a show/movie that they like, but instead of drawing it the same, we drew it as if Picasso drew it!!! I think they had fun recreating these familiar images!! We also worked on craftsmanship with colored pencil by coloring so you could not see the direction lines (using even pressure). <br />

We discussed the holiday including misconceptions of the holiday. Many people think it is related to Halloween because it is during the same time of the year and because of the skull subject matter. This holiday is not related to Halloween, it is a holiday that is celebrated in Mexico and parts of the United States. Many people also think that it is a scary holiday, but it is actually a happy holiday. This holiday is about remembering loved ones that have passed and celebrating their life instead of mourning their passing. There are many traditions associated with this holiday, including sugar skulls, parades, special bread and papel picado. Papel Picado means punched paper in Spanish, it is made of thin paper that has intricate cut-outs and hung from the ceiling. </div>

For this project, students created a collage using construction paper. I really stressed to students to put the glue on the side that they drew on so the viewer did not see pencil lines. This really helped our craftsmanship on this project. Some students chose to depict loved ones that had passed, some chose random characters and some chose previous pets. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PjSNSCZpZL8/UI5_KyoxPXI/AAAAAAAAB4M/Ahjs_2uxPmA/s1600/dia2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" qea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PjSNSCZpZL8/UI5_KyoxPXI/AAAAAAAAB4M/Ahjs_2uxPmA/s200/dia2.JPG" width="149" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D5rl8O51f00/UI5_Nrz2dHI/AAAAAAAAB4k/ct4eZUo00GA/s1600/dia5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" qea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D5rl8O51f00/UI5_Nrz2dHI/AAAAAAAAB4k/ct4eZUo00GA/s200/dia5.JPG" width="139" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C1qg25YiLBg/UI5_IYhQcpI/AAAAAAAAB38/u1TRwhPreaQ/s1600/dia.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" qea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C1qg25YiLBg/UI5_IYhQcpI/AAAAAAAAB38/u1TRwhPreaQ/s200/dia.JPG" width="149" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IsqokXkwpI8/UI5_JaxElpI/AAAAAAAAB4E/3NG2bBlazl8/s1600/dia1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="148" qea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IsqokXkwpI8/UI5_JaxElpI/AAAAAAAAB4E/3NG2bBlazl8/s200/dia1.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>

This week our 8th graders studied value and form. First, we had a guest artist show us his wonderful photo realistic drawings to show the students how to use value in a drawing and techniques that help create this look. It was so nice of him to take his time to show the students!! THANK YOU!! Next, we watched our presentation on value and form...<a href="http://prezi.com/9abyiid7rk_v/edit/#5_1887690">http://prezi.com/9abyiid7rk_v/edit/#5_1887690</a> . </div>

Students were asked to draw fruit using value. I wanted students to use different materials and was excited when I found an example of this project on Pinterest. This project allowed us to use charcoal, pencil and colored pencil. I used my amazing document camera (with light) so students could see the still life... isn't technology cool??? Students used charcoal on the newspaper, ebony pencils on the paper and colored pencil on the brown paper. </div>

Most of the students had heard of Michelangelo, well... OK, I admit, they had heard of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Students were really excited to learn that all of the Ninja turtles were named after famous artists. After discussing turtles, we were ready to talk about the artist. Before we began this project we spent one class talking about the Sistine Chapel and how Michelangelo spent 4 years painting on the ceiling. Students then taped paper under our tables and drew a fall picture. The objective of this assignment is not the product, but the process. Students can appreciate Michelangelo's artwork more because of this experience. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
We continued our discussion of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the most famous part, the hands!!! We practiced drawing hands for two whole classes before we began our final project. Students were asked to draw their hands in two different positions. While drawing their hands, students were asked to hold a piece of string to wrap and hold which helps create real positions as well as keep the hand still. They were allowed to chose one word that had meaning (except their name) to put in the middle. Hands are one of the most difficult things to draw and these student rocked them!!! </div>

7th Graders learned about OP ART this past week and we studied the artwork of Vasarely, Bridget Riley and MC Escher. We looked at art that made us say WHOA!!! Op art is based off of artwork that contains optical illusions. Op art creates movement through these optical illusions. Many times it contains artwork that is 2-D but made to look 3-D. After watching our presentation ( http://prezi.com/fbunjtl9ans1/op-art/ ), we discussed different op art designs and students chose one that they wanted to create. During this assignment, craftsmanship is very important because a wrong line, wrong color, or visible pencil lines can really disrupt the illusions. Great Job students!! <br />

Surrealists wanted to step away from rational thought. Many paintings look like dreams or nightmares. They use recognizable objects in unnatural ways. The most famous surreal artist is Salvador Dali (melting clocks on the right). SMS seventh graders used magazines to collage recognizable objects into a landscape that is just a bit odd. SO SURREAL!!</div>

We are working on COLOR!!! First we drew a color wheel and discussed different color families. After I was confident that the students were familiar with the basic color families we were ready to move on to the next color assignment and we were HUNGRY!!! We used vanilla icing, vanilla wafers and food coloring to make an edible color wheel!! Student were asked to mix all the colors for the primary and secondary colors. They also had to complete the color wheel and get it approved by me before they could eat. Next, we started our symmetrical color design project. We learned 8 different color families/schemes... primary, secondary, intermediate, tints, shades, neutrals, warm and cool!!! After designing our pattern we used tempera paint. Lastly, we used sharpie markers to clean up our lines. Great Job!!</div>

SMS ARRRRT (said like a pirate) CLUB!!! This year we will be providing art club for all grades (6, 7, and 8)! Art club will take place every other Tuesday (which Tuesday depends on students grade). It will begin after school at 2:30 and the bus will come between 3:10 and 3:15. The first meeting will be after school on Tuesday Oct. 16th. We will discuss what we will do in art club, our mission, and possible projects and fund raisers. The fee is $3.00 to join which will buy students art supplies and materials and include the cost for the art museum field trip at the end of the year. Students can sign up on the door of the art room till the end of this week!

THE MONA LISA!!! We discussed how almost 6 million people visit it each year and where they had seen the painting before. Students called out that they had seen it in movies, T.V. shows (like Wizards of Waverly Place) and many many more places. Many people make parodies of this painting because of its fame. So... that is what we did!! I printed out a copy of the Mona Lisa and students cut her away form the background. Next, they decided which setting they wanted to put her in. I love how each idea was different and unique!!We had gazelle Lisa, tissue Lisa and even Mona Gump!! Next, we outlined our design in black marker and colored them in with colored pencil. Great Job!!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mFrggcb8K-A/UHG8-XP_7SI/AAAAAAAABq4/n6yOzKmQJo0/s1600/0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="144" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mFrggcb8K-A/UHG8-XP_7SI/AAAAAAAABq4/n6yOzKmQJo0/s200/0.jpg" width="200"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DrdhRnracoc/UHG9DINMeuI/AAAAAAAABrU/jx9n1P3-AwE/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="146" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DrdhRnracoc/UHG9DINMeuI/AAAAAAAABrU/jx9n1P3-AwE/s200/5.jpg" width="200"></a><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5C1A2GMnnpA/UHG9D5BSNdI/AAAAAAAABrg/0Mw5aYvkiLw/s1600/6.jpg"><br>

We began this year learning about SPACE (I know what you're thinking...not aliens and planets). First we watched a presentation about space, which you can see at <a href="http://prezi.com/jz40tuidn9m-/space-1-point-perspective/">http://prezi.com/jz40tuidn9m-/space-1-point-perspective/</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="border: currentColor; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, we practiced vanishing point and horizon line by drawing boxes in perspective. Once we completed this, we were ready to start drawing the hallway!! We spent two days in the hallway planning and sketching our picture. The next day, we stayed in the classroom so we could add our own colors and ideas. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R0wcuiYs__Y/UGmJ-MT1NhI/AAAAAAAABqI/Xs8xnbGKMJY/s1600/hall7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" kea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R0wcuiYs__Y/UGmJ-MT1NhI/AAAAAAAABqI/Xs8xnbGKMJY/s200/hall7.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>

Sixth Graders are moving quickly through our art history timeline and have created Illuminated letters. Illuminated letters were from important manuscripts a long time ago. These manuscripts included an illuminated first letter on the page. These were expensive manuscripts because each was hand made and they are "illuminated" because the letter was often adorned with gold leaf. Students began by learning about illuminated letters and looking at many examples (like from the beginning of the movie Shrek) and they chose a letter that had meaning to them. Most students picked the first letter of their first or last name but some chose letters for other reasons. We decorated them with intricate patterns and traced with black sharpie markers. Lastly, we used metallic paint (to mimic the gold leaf) and painted our letters. These look great in these pictures but really shine in person!! Great Job!! </div>

We have began with artists Henri Matisse and Franz Marc. They started an art movement called Fauvism in about 1904-1908. It had recognizable subjects, however was unique due to the bright and unexpected colors and visible brush strokes. We discussed this through a presentation which you can watch at <a href="http://prezi.com/98rodcitrsz1/fauvism-matisse-and-marc-horses/">http://prezi.com/98rodcitrsz1/fauvism-matisse-and-marc-horses/</a> Our students really connected with Franz Marc because he is most well known for his paintings of horses and many of our students see horses everyday or own horses themselves. Students chose an animal that they wanted to draw and we used oil pastels to recreate the bright colors and textures of Marc. </div>
