Drawing Studio Opener- First, Second, and Third Grade

  Let's Draw!

Create

1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work.

A. Play & Ideation

Engage collaboratively in exploration and imaginative play with materials



B. Investigation

Use observation and investigation in preparation for making a work of art.




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!

1. With a pencil you can create light and dark values.
2. You can layer colors with crayon.
3. You can use the tip and the sides of the marker.
4. Third grade Try to create a gradate with a crayon by changing pressure.


After you have finished this exercise, create your own drawing on another piece of paper 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!

Third Grade-Introduction to Art

  Third Grade Intro. Lesson:



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 sew. We are going to continue to learn what it means to be an artist and how to work

like an artist.


Each year we go over our class expectations. 

  1. Take care of people

2. Take care of stuff

     3. Behave like an artist 


How do we take care of people in the art room?

Share the colored pencils with your table mates. If someone is using a color you need say: "may I please use the blue pencil when you are

finished?" Then wait patiently.

How do we take care of stuff in the art room?

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.


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 envision my idea.


What is art?



.

Always start with an idea even though it may change along the way.

Turn and talk to your friend about two ideas that you have for your art today. Then they take a turn sharing.



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.


Supplies Needed:

Studio Practice books

Pencil and Eraser

Crayons


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."

Think about what you want to draw. Close your eyes and try to picture what you want it to look like. Envision your idea. When you have your idea, draw the most important. parts first, then add supporting details, an interesting background. When you are ready, you may begin. Take your time drawing in pencil. Draw large enough so you fill the page and if you have time, you can color it in. 



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.

Today, during clean-up, you will be responsible for putting your supplies in the bin neatly, and putting your book in the box on the supply table.


Reflection:

After the drawings are completed, have students share their art with a friend before turning in book.


Remind students to raise their hands and wait to be called on.


Thank individual students for being respectful and raising their hands.



Line Up Time.

Practice line-up expectations:

Quiet

Feet on tape

Facing forward

Reflection:

After the drawings are completed, discuss the ways they behaved like an artist during class:

Include thinking of an idea, working quietly, sharing and taking care of supplies.


Remind students to raise their hands and wait to be called on.


In school, we are respectful by raising our hands when we have something to share.

Thank individual students for being respectful and raising their hands.
