I'm back in the saddle teaching "lots" of art lessons to "lots" of kids in a public school again, and it's feeling good! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_T30LC-p66T9G8bBQGEcp0uA33ILeMvi8eMImK7CbbFCIZ-Qg6gp7Mep5TkTMMS2rff_74sg8LhThJXJ5cgUN_62POK7BXa3i2ONScT40pFwfTQL-oNzNWyOml9Dch0R-UUrjkowPLw/s1600/IMG_5897.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_T30LC-p66T9G8bBQGEcp0uA33ILeMvi8eMImK7CbbFCIZ-Qg6gp7Mep5TkTMMS2rff_74sg8LhThJXJ5cgUN_62POK7BXa3i2ONScT40pFwfTQL-oNzNWyOml9Dch0R-UUrjkowPLw/s320/IMG_5897.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
One of the local elementary schools in my area was in need of a substitute art teacher for an undefined amount of time. The current art teacher had to take a leave to care for her injured son. My prayers are with her, I can only imagine the stressful situation she is living.<br />
<br />
The school where I'm teaching is K-2nd grade, with 2 transitional kinder classes and there's a total of about 525 kids! Are there any art teachers out there in a similar situation? ALL primary grades at one school. I still walk on the campus marveling at the notion that the "Big Kids" are only 2nd graders. It makes me giggle.<br />
<br />
Normally the smaller children are my biggest challenge, but this school has a designated art room, and it has made a huge difference. In the past I taught art in the kids' regular classrooms, I would go to them. I sure like having an art room better. If you're teaching in a state where most of the elementary schools have "Art Rooms", you may not realize how lucky you are. And for those of you who teach in a state where the elementary art teacher is on the same pay scale and benefit scale as the other classroom teachers, then you are especially lucky!! I don't know of a single elementary school in my state of California where such is the case? ------uh, oh, I may be boring you now with my soapbox banter.<br />
<br />
What's your favorite art lesson for kindergartners? A comment from you would be much more fun that scrolling through the bazillion ideas on Pinterest ;)</div>

Does your class celebrate the <a href="http://iditarod.com/">Iditarod</a> race in Alaska? The race starts in TWO days, March 7.<br />
Many years ago I was substitute teaching in a middle school classroom and the teacher left plans for the class to do an Iditarod Unit. The kids really enjoyed it! Who doesn't love Husky's?<br />
One of my most popular art lessons I do with kids is painting a Siberian Husky.....I love the way that each dog ends up with its own personality when the kids finish their paintings!<br />
If you'd like to do this project with your students, I have a Step-by-Step drawing and painting lesson in my store. Here's a <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Siberian-Husky-Art-Lesson-PDF-Version-1746369">PDF version</a> and a <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Siberian-Husky-Art-Lesson-Power-Point-1746349">Power Point version</a>. Each are just $2.99.<br />
Hope your students love it!<br />

It includes "Weather Words" handouts, a "Seasons- Before and After" worksheet, and more. Cost $4.99.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kids seem to always enjoy their own accordion booklets. The accordion style folding is such a soothing activity, sometimes I think I should try to incorporate it into every lesson I teach;)</span><br />

Have you already found it?<br />
What a resource - Yipes, I know I'll be getting lost in it every time I go to look up one painting……You know, the way you go to the grocery store for milk, and end up going down other aisles getting lost in shopping for other things you weren't planning on buying:)<br />

I've always loved this painting by Matisse, and I've used it for <a href="http://uploads1.wikipaintings.org/images/henri-matisse/interior-with-egyptian-curtain-1948.jpg">lessons</a> where the kids did one similar in crayons, and when possible, I've had kids do it in paint too.</div>

Another lesson I've been wanting to teach forever! So pleased with the results. Students used one color and black and white acrylic paint for this assignment. After they chose their subjects from a magazine (they were instructed to choose a living subject that was photographed), I made black and white copies of their photos to help them better see the different values.<br />

Fall has arrived and I think that I like fall art ideas the best out of all the other seasons. Every year I have such a hard time deciding which projects to do with my students. Too many good ones to choose from thanks to all of you who keep on posting fabulous lessons!<br />
<br />
Even though it's fall, it felt like Christmas a while back when I received a package from <span style="font-size: x-large;">Dixon Ticonderoga/ Prang.</span> With pleasure some of my art students tested the art supplies in the package and they found that some were definitely better than others. It was fun recording their comments.<br />

Prang <i>watercolors</i> on the left were voted brighter and better than Crayola watercolors . The other plus was that the Prang <i>watercolors</i> came in a palette were each color could be popped out and you could put in refills of the color needed.<br />
Although the paint was voted better, the brush that came with Prang set lost bristles in the water when swished around the first time. But, even with the loss of bristles, the brush was a soft and a bigger than the Crayola brush.<br />

It was noted that with the RoseArt pencils, "You have to push down really hard to draw with them and the colors still are not bright."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Prang colored pencils laid down a "thick layer of color", "even the black colored pencil shows up on the black construction paper". These colored pencils will be the ones that the student fight over..........</div>

The Crayola markers were lighter and even though they were new, the red lost some color after using it for not too long. When one student opened the Prang Marker box. she exclaimed, "These are fancy!"</div>

Hey Mr. Calendar, I didn't give you permission to flip the page to August already!<br />
<br />
My brain is starting to think about school stuff everyday now. All the exciting changes and tweaks to projects that I think will make them better. (Is your brain doing this too?)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I've been having fun in my teaching <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Boyd-Bradley-Art-Studio/237996656273244?ref=hl">Studio</a> this summer. Been really busy teaching acrylic painting on canvas for fun. It's going to be interesting to see how I'll manage both my teaching Studio and my regular classroom at school. (My boy is now a licensed driver so that means I have more time to devote to my crazy world of artsy happenings.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've been having fun w/ Bleach Pens on t-shirts lately. </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Thank You - Thank You to <a href="http://www.iammommahearmeroar.net/2010/04/bleach-pen-tutorial.html">I am Momma Hear me Roar</a> for posting this bleach pen project years ago. And big congrats on your new </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">baby girl</span><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">. </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I knew I had to try it when I first saw it & it was really fun. Now years later, I'm doing it again and selling shirts at my teaching Studio:)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">If you try a bleach pen project, don't be surprised if you end up w/ big blobs of white spots all over your shirt the first time, or even the 3rd time. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I've found that every shirt absorbs the bleach in its own unique way & there's no way of telling until you try it. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">FYI- I've found that one pen will last approx. 3 shirt designs. When the pen starts to get empty, it's best to quit using it b/c that's when the air bubbles starting popping out of the pen and giving you big drops of bleach in places you don't want them.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2wfO1egq3QAhadDciINpKNH3Sfjl_UxHvO4Fz6ImaXaH4AvW6L4zVhgsmz-llUOTxsg53Ns30JRWj2mHZ8zT2YezAg1wdl3L1sLJzgzh3kXR2KdJZT8bX3RVyicAFdkFEjwCLiIjPsg/s1600/2013-07-23+22.39.07.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2wfO1egq3QAhadDciINpKNH3Sfjl_UxHvO4Fz6ImaXaH4AvW6L4zVhgsmz-llUOTxsg53Ns30JRWj2mHZ8zT2YezAg1wdl3L1sLJzgzh3kXR2KdJZT8bX3RVyicAFdkFEjwCLiIjPsg/s320/2013-07-23+22.39.07.jpg" width="239" /></a><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Lastly, 2 more observations - When you shake the bleach pen, there will be more air bubbles in it and it's harder to get nice clean lines from it. But, if you don't shake the bleach pen, in the beginning you will have watery fluid running out of it as you start your design. Because of these two problems, I squeeze the watery fluid onto a paper towel first, before using the pen, and I don't shake the pen.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Here's some of the fun I've been having.</span><br />

Here's a lesson I created for learning about planets. </div>

Love this and I didn't even find it on Pinterest! I say this because I've found myself going to Pinterest much more than blogs when looking for art lesson inspirations. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you also found yourself going to Pinterest more than blogs? (Hmmmm, this is a silly question because if it's "Yes", you're probably not seeing it because you're on Pinterest right now.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In a way I feel like Pinterest has stolen me away from the beautiful bloggers whom I admire. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recently I decided to try to get back in the habit of visiting blogs instead of going for the quick searches on Pinterest. I'd be bummed if blogging went away because others started doing what I've been doing.</div>

You know those kids in your class that like to ask, <span style="color: red; font-size: large;">"Mrs. Smith, is this okay?"</span> <span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"> "Mrs. Smith, is this good?" </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> "Does this look good?"</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Well, it's still February so I'm going to post one of the </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Valentine's Day</span><span style="color: #e06666;"> lessons I did my K/1 class.......I might also use this lesson in for</span> <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Mother's Day</span><span style="color: #e06666;"> with one of my other classes. When Mother's Day comes around I like to look through the Valentine's lessons because I think us mommy's can never get too many cards with hearts on them:)</span><br />
<br />
It's a non-original idea, but I'd never tried this version before. <br />
1. Put heart stickers on paper.<br />
2. Paint over heart stickers. <br />
3. Let dry (by the time we had the desks and tables cleaned up from the painting, they were dry enough), and peel off the stickers.<br />
<br />
<i>I had a helper the day before the lesson, so I also decided to blue tape the borders of the white paper to a board to give the finished painting that beautiful white frame around it.</i><br />
<br />
So super simple! I did have a couple students who needed extra help on the concept. They were painting pictures around the hearts, even though I explained and demonstrated the whole process. They needed extra encouragement and communication to paint directly over the stickers.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our school colors are </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Red</b></span> and <b>Black</b></span><span style="font-size: large;">, so that's why they outlined the subjects with red and did the zentangling with black. Next time I tell them to outline their subjects with a </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>thick</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: red;">red</span> line. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The thick red lines around the subjects look better than the ones with a thin red outline.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Funny how some students don't like making zentangles? I consider it such a huuuuuuge luxury to sit down and have the time to make a zentangle and they consider it a chore. Oh well, that's what makes our planet more interesting - we have our differences:)</span></div>

We're beginning clay projects. After experimenting with some other brands of air dry clay last year, I'm back to using Crayola Air Dry clay. It's not so great, but I haven't found any other brand that's reasonably priced and better.<br />

2nd graders are making <span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b>CUPCAKE Boxes</b></span>. Next time I need to remember to give kids a ball of clay closer to the size of a golf ball than the size of an apricot for making the bottom of their cupcake. The walls of clay were thicker than I prefer, hopefully they'll dry okay.<br />

Lots of messy fun ----- a few kids were absent ---- that's one of my biggest challenges in being an art teacher. So time consuming helping kids get caught up who've been absent. In the past I worked at a large school, so it was virtually impossible to offer all the time necessary for all the absent kids. Now I offer make-up arrangements for absent kids.<br />
<br />
How do you deal with absent students from your art classes? Would love to get your ideas.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year our wonderful 4th grade teacher at my school found a <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><i>"Moulding Christmas Tree" </i></span></span>in Sunset magazine and asked if I'd help her students each make one. She and her husband did all the legwork, so it was piece of cake for me. All I had to do was help students paint the branches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These are the measurements we used:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Branches are 5 pieces of moulding @ 8", 7", 6", 5", and 4"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then the top is a small piece of moulding (as shown), or it can be a small triangle of wood.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The trunk is a 1"x1" piece of wood, 18" tall.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The base is 16" across.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Branches were glued on with hot glue and base was attached with screws.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The kids were so proud of their creations!!</span></div>

Are owls more popular now than they were in the 70's? I remember making LOTS of macrame owls back then, hmmmmmm what did all those people do with those macrame owls I made for them Christmas?<br />
<br />
My Kinder/1st graders made these owls. Lots of cutting and tracing prep, but it was worth it. Even with all the pre-made parts, it still took two full periods.<br />
Here are the materials that the students received for the project:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2nd Day - Each child received black background paper, grey paper w/ tree branches already traced, 2 yellow eyes, 2 black eyes, 2 feet, 1 beak, 1 moon traced.</div>
<br />
Here's the order we used:<br />
1st Day<br />
1. Traced outlines on owl parts and added feathers and face features with crayon.<br />
2. Painted all owl parts with watercolors.<br />
<br />
2nd Day<br />
3. Cut & glue tree parts onto background.<br />
4. Cut & glue owl parts onto background.<br />
5. Glue face parts onto owl.<br />

I had never seen Karla Gerard's artwork before, and it's wonderful inspiration!<br />
<br />
These were done by 5th graders and we took 2 class periods to do these paintings. First we studied the patterns and variety in Karla Gerard's examples that I put on the board.<br />

Then student's drew a rough draft version of their landscape on scratch paper. Then a real version on construction paper. Next every line was traced with oil pastels.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
