Engage-Art Tells Me About You

-Identify interests to increase engagement

-Increase Choice

-What do students care about

Artists respond to what's going on in the WORLD,  just like you!

What are you interested in? 
What do you like to do at home? (games, movies, books)
What are some of your favorite small moments? 

How do you respond to events in your life?
You might make a card for someone special.
You draw a picture of your home, or your family.
You might paint a picture of your feelings.
You make a poster to advertise your lemonade stand.

We've practiced our skills in our studio practice books. We've opened all five studios. We even have our plan books ready to go! 
Now what we've all been preparing for...FULL CHOICE AT LAST!!!

Studio Review/Tour:

1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade

• location of studios

• what supplies are currently available in each studio.
• 1st grade parade through centers that are not visible from carpet.

• Once students sit down, remind them to raise their hand if they need help. 
• Second and Third grade- If they are having trouble finding something in the studio ask a friend.

If you're not sure what to make, try one of these:

Clean Up:

• Remind students that the clean-up song is silent.
• If someone is talking the teacher will choose their studio the following week--no choice.
• Remind students that they need to be completely finished cleaning and have their work turned in by the end of the 4 minute clean-up song. 
• If someone does not clean up on time or ignores the clean up song. The teacher will choose their studio for them the next week--no choice.
• If a studio is left messy, or is not cleaned up properly that studio will be closed the following week.

Envision

Artists develop mental images before they plan. This is called envisioning. 



Today we are going to envision an idea for the cover of our plan book, make a plan and draw a cover design for our plan book. 

Second and Third Grade

Extra Art--Making a Pop Up Card (2 Classes)

Pop Up Card--Background

Today we will begin making a pop up card. A pop up card is a card where one or more parts stand out from the card. 

First, think about what you want to make for your subject. That will be the object that pops out, and what we make next week. Today you are going to make the background for your subject. 

Directions:

1. Fold in half. Open and flatten.
2. Draw background scenery on white drawing paper in pencil. (Draw it centered on the sheet of paper.)Ideas include but not limited to: landscape (rolling hills, mountains, rainforest, desert, alien), seascape, cityscape.
3. Trace in Sharpie.
4. Color in marker, chalk or crayon.

Making your subject:

1. Hold up your small white paper to your background to determine what size to make your subject.
2. Draw your subject, trace in sharpie, and color.
3. Carefully cut out your subject.


How to make the pop up tab:

1. Hold your subject up to the background. Decide where you want your pop up on your card.
2. Cut two short lines on the fold.
3. Fold tab forward, and back.
4. Push tab toward the middle of the card to make pop up tab.
5. Glue your subject to the card.
6. Make small pop ups from your base.
