1 point Perspective </div>
<br />
This year's 9 week sculpture class has been learning about color schemes and one point perspective. We started off by reviewing primary vs. secondary colors and color mixing. From there we learned that when we combine colors together into groups, we are creating a color scheme. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Color Schemes we focused on:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Warm </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cool</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Primary </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We practiced drawing assorted shapes in groups using one point perspective. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each group had to use 7-11 shapes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each group had its own vanishing point and horizon line</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each group was then colored in using a different color scheme</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 groups of shapes= 5 different color schemes</div>

Once they created all five groups, the students selected their favorite color scheme. With their favorite color scheme in mind, they began to raid my magazine drawers for pages and ads that had samples of their needed colors. The end result...a lot of paper scraps on the floor.<br />
The magazine pages were then cut into strips or circles (the student's choice) to add texture and color to their backgrounds.<br />
Then using cardboard as their "canvas" the students drew their favorite arrangement of shapes in one point perspective. Cut out the shape arrangement. Then cardboard shapes were painted with colors from their selected color schemes. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Before we started working on our final still life drawings of the quarter the students had two days to create a few practice drawings with the charcoal. These practice days are built in to allow the students time to experiment with the new materials and see what techniques they prefer to use when working with this very messy material.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 still life arrangements were set up with intense dramatic lighting, for all the students to see the shadows and highlights a little easier (their personal still life arrangements will also have a dramatic spot light as well). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They started by marking in the basic shapes of their still life drawings then began creating detail with the black and white charcoal. </div>

We had a very exciting class experimenting with mixing our primary (red, yellow, blue) colors to create the 3 secondary colors (orange, green, and purple). Cleaning our brushes and placing our artwork on a drying rack were also new concepts covered this class. <br />

The Elements of Art are the basic building blocks to all works of art. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every work of art has at least 1 element of art or like we call it in class EofA. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The students this year created foldables to help them remember the 7 elements of art, their definitions, and some visuals to represent them. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The students in third grade are learning about a new contemporary folk artist. We learned that folk artists are artists are people that have no formal art training and the artwork they create represents their culture, traditions, or the things they see around them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To begin students selected either a cat or dog inspired by Laurel Burch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then using the following directions for assistance, the students drew some practice sketches.</div>

The upper level art majors were given a wonderful opportunity this year to create a mural and permanently leave their mark on the school for all to see. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a long process and we are almost finished, the only thing slowing us down at this point is the wall...it took 4 gallons of paint!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The middle school students are just as excited as the elementary students to learn about Manga comics, as well as to share what they know with others about some of the comic books/anime characters that I am not as familiar with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During these past 5 sessions we have learned how to draw eyes, noses, mouths, hair, and body types in the Manga style. At this point the students have begun to develop their main character (many of which have supernatural abilities) and their backstory. They are quickly learning that in order for their characters to seem relatable and interesting their readers are going to need to know why the character is acting in a particular way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
During these past two years at Pullen I have seen so many students come through my classroom doors ready and excited to learn a new concept or technique. Of course paint is and will always be a top contender in favorite topics and materials, but it wasn't until I tried a mini lesson with my fifth grade classes that I saw where most of their interests lied. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
COMICS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fifth grade classes loved the mini lesson so much, that I thought why not turn this into a club where students who have a lot of interest in this particular topic can come to learn and create!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the past 4-5 sessions that students have learned to draw in the style of Manga. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have learned how to draw different styles of eyes, noses, mouths, hair, and body types. All of these little units have helped them to begin developing their own original character that will star in it very own comic strip!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Continue to follow our progress online as our ideas become finalized and our characters stories are told.</div>

Today with the Art 1's we started the awesome process of building a clay sculpture. With our ideas planned out and having been introduced to the history and techniques associated with clay building the students were excited to get to work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before getting started we did a quick review of the "10 Golden Rules of Ceramics". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shout out to the awesome contributes of the INCREDIBLE @RT DEPARTMENT. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A link to their page and the 10 rules is below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.incredibleart.org/files/ten.htm">http://www.incredibleart.org/files/ten.htm </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To get a true understanding of the entire building process we started with wedging our own pieces of clay. We learned that the reason we wedge our clay is to remove any air bubbles that might be trapped underneath the surface of the clay. They were told the horrible story of my experience with poorly wedged clay (or a really bad scoring & slip method, I can take the blame where blame is earned). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For whatever the reason my ceramic piece and from my mistakes my students learn and hopefully we don't have any unfortunate accidents this year.</div>

This year we had our school's first ever elementary art show!!!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a great turn out of students, families, and friends on one of the coldest nights of the year. Everyone had a great time participating in the awards ceremony, looking for the artworks in our show's scavenger hunt, and enjoying the great work created by our wonderful students.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started a new tradition this year that I know we will keep going for years to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The slideshow of the Little Artists Elementary Art Show is below.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this project the students were to create a directed drawing of a bird, as well as, create a birdhouse out of pre-painted paper (the students painted one color each in a previous class).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We begun by talking about the changes in weather and how it was becoming colder out; we said that when it becomes colder we tend to stay inside more. We discussed that animals were doing the same thing, that as it gets colder the animals want to be warmer so they stay inside of their homes to avoid being cold. One type of animal discussed were birds. <br />
The students learned how to draw a bird following the steps from the amazing Joy Sikorski (see the image below).<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After making the grown-up bird the students made either a little baby bird following the same directions or 3 tiny eggs waiting to hatch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once our small bird families were made, the students painted 3 pieces of paper using their table color. For this part of the students learned the difference between a tint and shade. A tint is where you add white to a base color (in this case their table color) and a shade is where you add black to a base color. Once their papers dried they were cut into 1 inch strips that the students picked from to create a mulit-colored bird house. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Positive vs. Negative Space</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
Our most recent unit had the students learning about the subway artist Keith Haring and his use of space in and around his artwork. <br />
To start this unit off the students read two brief articles about Haring's life and artwork. They learned that he used a variety of symbols in his art to represent the different things happening in the world around him. For example he used dolphins to represent peace, while computers/box televisions were used to represent technology. While the students learned a lot about symbols and his use for them in artwork, our main focus for this unit was the element of art SPACE.<br />
The students viewed the PowerPoint below, helping them see the difference between positive and negative space in a work of art.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The students then got to work creating 5 figures in the style of Keith Haring. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From those 5 figures the students had to select the top 3 of their drawings that showed the most motion and action.</div>
The 3 figures were drawn on 3 square pieces of secondary colored construction paper; making sure that one part of their figure was touching one edge of the paper square. Then making one continuos cut around their figures, the students created examples of positive and negative space figures.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Medium Study</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One project the art majors worked on this quarter had them creating 3 drawings of 1 leaf from observation. Each drawing needed to be completed in a different material (1 in colored pencil, 1 in drawing pencil, and 1 in sharpie). The goal for this project was to focus on these four Elements of Art; Color, Line, Texture, and
Value while including a
range of shadows and highlights both on the leaf as well as the tabletop (cast
shadows).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The students had 3 days to create and mount this leaf triptych and all students rose to the challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The students drawings varied from realistic colors and details to a wide range of abstract patterns and designs to represent the leaves.</div>

The students discussed the different types of line used in both Vaseraly's and Riley's optical illusions. As well as why we thought these works of art were considered optical illusions when they look so different from our day to day optical illusions as those seen below.</div>

To create their own OPtical illusions the students used a paper weaving method. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To help them create a their weaving the students watched a step-by-step video (see below and sorry in advance about the squeaky audio during the fast-forwarded parts.</div>
