Introduction to Full Choice!

 

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
• color of sticks/studio colors 
• what paper to use in each studio
• what supplies are currently available in each studio.
• 1st grade parade through centers that are not visible from carpet.
• 1st grade stay in seat once they get their plan book.

• 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.

Second Grade --Africa-Ndeble House paintings

Living in South Africa, the Ndebele Nation is an ethnic group that is known for its incredible artistic talent. Using their homes as canvas and studios, the women of this ethnic group create beautiful works of art that have been passed down from generation to generation. Not only do they paint their houses in a unique style, but they also use their homes as studio spaces. At home, they create wearable beadwork like headgear, bracelets, and necklaces.

Huichol Yarn Art

 

Huichol Yarn Art

The Huichol Indians of Mexico are known for their yarn paintings.

 The Huichols take beeswax which they melt in the sun, and spread it over a piece of wood. They then push colored yarn into the wax to create images.  Modern Huichol artists use glue or spray adhesives. 

Each color, every line and symbol, no matter how abstract, has a meaning.  

You can create your own yarn painting using glue and scraps of yarn and wool.
