Introduction to Choice Art
It's time to put all the studio skills we learned to work!
Today we will review the studio procedures, choose a stick for a studio, think of an idea, and make some art!
Welcome to CHOICE ART!!!
What is Fiber Art?
Fiber art is a type of art that is made from fibers such as yarn, string, or cloth to create art.
You may be familiar with some forms of fibers such as sewing, quilting, crochet, and felting, because maybe you have a family member who enjoys creating using these methods.
(stuff below only a part of what will be included in video)
Fiber artist, Bisa Butler creates life sized portrait quilts, and spends up to 1000 hours creating them out of unique fabrics.

Artist, Judith Scott created large sculptures out of yarn and other fibers. She was born with down syndrome and did not talk. Her art was her language, and her first sculpture was said to be her first words.
Fibers Studio Vocabulary:
Needle

Fiber arts is about making art with thread, yarn, paper, and fabric, made from both natural and man made fibers.
These next two weeks we are working on fibers skills to prepare us for making our own stuffies.

During this week, you can look for other natural objects that you might like to observe closely and draw.
Have you ever looked at a flower up close?
What did you notice that you didn't see from far away?
Here is a painting from far away of a field of poppies

A collage is made by cutting up, arranging, and gluing down materials such as paper, string, fabric, and newspaper.

"Coller is a French word, that means to glue something together, so it makes sense that a collage is when you glue materials to a flat surface.
In collage you can use many different materials to make something new!
Materials needed:
White Paper for background
Colored Construction Paper
Pencil
Scissors
Glue Stick
Crayons or Markers (optional)

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
