Andre Derain - The Trees
Andre Derain made many paintings of beautiful places.
What makes these places beautiful?
What makes these paintings beautiful?
- People find things of beauty in the world around them.
- Artists share what they think is beautiful in their art.
OUR EXPERIENCES: We see beauty when we look closely at nature or when we view a landscapea distance. We see beauty in the parts of the world that are built by humans such as bridges and buildings
We also can "see" or feel beauty in our actions of kindness, love and respect.
ARTISTS HELP US FIND AND SHOW BEAUTY IN OUR WORLD.
Can you think of a beautiful place you would like to share?
Is it a building or is it in nature?
What lines, shapes and colors will you use?
On an index card, or small piece of paper, take 5 minutes to write about or draw something you find beautiful.
This week we are experimenting with drawing materials. We will show what we know using pencils, crayons and markers. This practice will prepare us for our work in the drawing studio!
With a pencil... You can create light and dark values. Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. You can create light and dark values by changing how hard you press on your pencil.
Blending and Layering: Making new colors in the drawing Studio You can layer crayon by coloring one color over another lightly.
Video for 1st and 2nd Grade
Video for 3rd Grade
Can you see where the colors overlap in layers to create new colors? Why do you think it is important to color lightly when layering?
Create your own drawing using the skills and tools we just learned about.
Ask yourself these questions: 1. How did you use your pencil? Did you press light or hard? 2. Did you layer crayons? Where? If you didn't, add one color on top of another to create layers. 3. Did you use the tip or the side of the markers?
Congratulations! You are now ready to use the drawing studio!

Welcome to art class! We are going to have an exciting year together in art,
full of discovery and art making. We will draw, collage, paint sculpt and weave. We are going
to continue to
learn what it means to be an artist and how to work like an artist. Every year we go over our class expectations. 1. Take care of people 2. Take care of stuff 3. Behave like an artist
This year we want you to work in a group to list the way we meet those
expectations. For example How do we take care of people in the art room? 1. 2.
So now it is your turn to answer this question at your table. One person will
write the answers.
Share some of the answers.
Now let's move on to #2. How do we take care of stuff in the artroom? For example, when we are done with a marker, we should place the cap back on
till it snaps, so that the marker doesn't dry out. Share.
Lastly, How do we behave like an artist? One way that I show I am an artist is I think about what I'm going to make
before I begin. I always start with an idea even though it may change along the
way. Share Today we are going to get our Studio Practice Books.
We use our studio practice books to learn skills and classroom routines for
choice art. Pass out books/ Name and class code. You will create a piece of art using drawing supplies.
You can draw whatever you decide.
Open your book to the page at the beginning of the book that says :"Draw a
picture and make it fabulous. Read suggestions.
Supplies Needed: Pencil and Eraser Colored Pencil
VA: Cr, Anchor Standard 1: Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and
work
Clean up expectations: I will always play the clean up anthem at clean up time. Clean up is silent. Everyone should finish cleaning up their studio space before the end of the
song. (I will select 2 monitors to write down names of anyone talking, or not
cleaning up) Today, during clean up, you will be responsible
Reflection: What did you draw today? What supplies did you use?
Remind students to raise their hand and wait to be called on . In school we are respectful by raising our hands when we have something to
say. Thank individual students for being respectful and raising their hands.
