My Happy Place-Second Grade

My Happy Place

Think of a time and place where you felt really happy.  Did you feel calm? Cozy? Safe? Quiet? Did you know you can visit this place whenever you like?

 

You can if you practice engaging your senses to make this place vivid in your mind. You could even create a new daydream place to go when you feel worried or upset. What would it be? 

(ex: grandpa's farm, the creek, my room, a place with only cats and bean bag chairs, a place in my imagination with my favorite things)

Wherever and whatever your Happy Place may be, the goal of this activity is to give you the power to bring a smile to your face and peace to your heart, whenever you visit this happy place. 

What did you like about it? Remember some of the details. What could you see and hear? What could you smell in this place? When you close your eyes and imagine these things, you can bring that feeling you had of calm from that place.

Create your own happy place you can hold in your heart and visit whenever you want.

Imagine it...

Create it in the drawing, collage, painting or sculpture studio

3rd Grade Transformations Collage

 Transformations

How do things transform?

What steps or changes do they go through?

Third Grade Transformation: Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

From our lesson last week we learned that transformation means "change." 

Today, we are transforming an object or a thing into an animal. If something changes from one form to a completely different form, we can call that change Metamorphosis. 

You can create a series of drawings to show the transformation or metamorphosis of the object into an animal.

VIDEO LESSON

Second Grade Places: Near and Far- creating depth

Artists create art about places they visit, live, work, and play. Sometimes artists choose to make their drawings and paintings look like a 3 dimensional space even though they are on a flat 2d surface like paper or canvas. 

Near and Far

Draw the closest thing first, and draw LARGE

What is the largest thing in this picture?

Draw things that are far smaller and higher up on the page.

What appears far away in  picture?

Second Grade: Places and Mood

Artists make art about the places they live, work, visit and dream about visiting. 

 A place can be an area, a building, or a city or town. 

(city, desert, beach, farm, home, neighborhood, lake) do we want to specify outdoor places? 

If you could walk into this painting where would you be standing? 

How does the painting feel on the blue side?

How does the mood or feeling change on the side with the red, orange and yellow? 

What time of day does each side remind you of? Is there a time of day when you may see both?

                                                                            Draw a place,
