POP-OUT-PAINTING The pop-OUT-painting is a die cut card stock paper that folds and tucks to become a workable 5x5 inch 3D artist’s canvas. When folded into 3D, the front is a blank white 5x5 inch square for artwork, the sides are printed to look like linen cloth and the back folds to create the illusion of a wood canvas stretcher. Leave the canvas flat to create your masterpiece, insert it into the provided Kraft envelope with the folding instructions, and mail it to someone special for a one of a kind gift from the heart! There is no need for scissors, tape or glue to create the paper canvas, just imagination and creativity. Perfect for a gift, assignment, camp, or display! Whatever the reason or use may be, your art is sure to P-O-P! Grades K+, Ages 5+. A-52516-RT POP-OUT-PAINTING RETAIL PACK

Desk Reference ELEMENTS OF ART AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN The elements of art and principles of design are clearly illustrated on the front and back of this 81⁄2” x 11” laminated card. They are easy to use for individual study of these valuable concepts as well as a quick reference when creating a work of art. Students will learn easily and quickly how the elements of art and the principles of design work together to create a composition.

There are three properties or characteristics of color — hue, intensity, and value. Hue is simply the name for a color. Hue and color are two words with the same meaning.

Value refers to the darkness or lightness of a color. If a bit of black is added to red, the color becomes darker and is called a shade. The more black that is added the darker the value gets. If white is added to a color, it becomes lighter and is called a tint.

Intensity refers to the brightness of a color. If we want to dull a color, we mix in a little of its complementary color. If we add a little blue to orange, it dulls the orange; if we add we add a little orange to blue, it dulls the blue.

There are no intense colors used in Morrow Bay Morning above. The colors were muted or neutralized by mixing them with their complementary colors. Colors on the blue and green part of the color wheel

The azaleas are all the same color or hue. Shadows make the values darker in places — and sunlight makes the values lighter. Notice the variety of single color with its shades and tints.

The spectrum can be arranged in a circle called a color wheel which shows how colors are related. The most important colors are the primary colors — red, yellow, and blue. All other colors can be made by mixing them. If we mix two primary colors such as red and blue, we get a secondary color — violet. Orange and green are also secondary colors. If we mix a primary color (red) and one of its neighboring secondary colors (orange), we will get an intermediate color (red-orange). There are six intermediate colors. Complementary colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. Red and green are complementary; so are red-violet and yellow-green.

Intensity

Color is one of the most exciting elements of art. There must be light for us to see colors. A blue shirt does not look blue in the dark; it will not look blue under yellow or red light either. For colors to look their truest, they should be seen under white light. When a ray of white light passes through a glass prism, the ray is bent, or refracted. It is separated into bands of color, called the color spectrum. You can also see the spectrum in a rainbow.

Modern collage techniques were started in France in 1912 when Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque glued torn and cut papers to their oil paintings. They included newspaper clippings, headlines, wallpaper, and other found papers to create interesting shapes in their work. In the 1920s, German artist Kurt Schwitters pasted all sorts of papers in random arrangements, and an exciting new kind of art joined painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture as fine art. It was called papier collé, the French term for pasted paper.

WHAT IS A TESSELLATION? A tessellation is a potentially endless repeated pattern made up of one or more shapes that fit together like puzzle pieces with no gaps or overlaps. Square and other quadrilaterals, triangles, and hexagons can be used to design tessellations and they can be modified to create interlocking shapes as described in this poster series. The word tessellation is derived from the Latin word tessella meaning tile.

Reflection tessellations are more complicated as shapes are cut from adjacent sides of a square, then the shapes are flipped, and they slide to opposite sides to make the template. The template is then flipped and it slides horizontally, then flipped again and slides vertically until the pattern is completed.

Early tessellations were often mosaic tile designs used to decorate the floors and ceilings of palaces and mosques. The tessellated designs in the Alhambra mosque in Spain inspired the Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher. The contribution Escher made to tessellations was to make them out of recognizable rotate 90° figures. Tessellation designsrotate are 90° often seen in quilts, clockwise fabric, and wallpaper.

Tree Mobiles

What Is A Mobile? Have you ever looked at a painting and wondered what it might be like to step inside it or to see pieces of it moving? Movement is what mobiles are about. Whether hanging in an art museum or over an infant’s crib, a series of decorative elements suspended from wires or similar material is called a mobile. But how did mobiles get their name? Where, exactly, did they come from? And more importantly, where in the wide world of art do mobiles fit?

Creating Mobiles

Articulated Mobiles

There are many ways to create mobiles. These posters focus on three main types of mobiles—tree mobiles, articulated mobiles, and spiral or petal mobiles. The most important concept in mobile making is balance points. Once you have mastered the art of creating loops and balancing, you will be amazed at the variety that you will be able to achieve with simple materials and a little imagination. The posters complement the video Mobiles: How to Create Them available from Crystal Productions.

Crushing Pliers

The most basic element of a tree mobile consists of one element attached to a wire. More commonly, two elements are balanced on either end of a wire.

Wire

To create a balance loop, locate the balance point by putting your finger under the wire and move it around until the element is balanced the way you 4 wish. Mark the wire with a pen. Then, using the round nose pliers, bend an overhand loop in the wire at the point you marked with your pen.

The simple one or two element systems can then be joined together to create a three or four element system. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Try different combinations of one, two, three, and four element systems.

Remember that half the fun of making mobiles is that the finished piece is never exactly the same as the original layout. Once you are comfortable with the process, experiment with objects of different sizes and shapes.

Timothy Rose, Dragonfly, 2001, painted sheet metal, 6 feet long, 8-foot span, 18 inches tall. www.mobilesculpture.com

To make an articulated mobile, start with the small bottom shapes and work your way up. To begin, take the two smallest shapes that you have. Take a wire of appropriate length and attach the shapes to each end, keeping in mind that the balance point should be closer to the heavier element.

Continue adding shapes. Notice that unlike a tree mobile, you will generall just have one shape attached to the end of each wire in an articulated mobile. This allows the mobile to move as a single body.

Continue adding shapes until you have achieved your desired result. Notice that in a small to large mobile, the wires will need to be longer as the shapes get larger. Experiment with other shapes when you are ready.

Hang your finished mobile. Watch the movement. Tap on the first smaller piece, and watch how it picks up the next piece, then the next, and so on. Experiment with different shapes, materials, and colors.

To make a spiral mobile, work from small to large, bottom to top. Start by attaching two small elements together with a two-hole attachment. Add a slightly larger element to the first one.

In spiral mobiles, the pieces should be attached at right angles, so you will need your loops to be forward facing. Bend the loop forward 90 degrees to accomplish this.

Continue to add pieces to the mobile, each time making the element a little bigger. Remember to use forward facing loops.

In spiral mobiles, it is preferable to use curved shapes so the pieces do not bump into one another.

Continue adding pieces to the mobile until you are satisfied with the composition.

The shape of a spiral mobile is similar to a nautilus shell. The movement is a gentle, contemplative turn.

Timothy Rose, Dragonteeth, burnished galvanized sheet/stainless steel wire, 40 inches tall, 84-inch span. www.mobilesculpture.com

How things pass over and under each other can become a challenge in creating articulated mobiles. For your first articulated mobile, try starting with a very small element and increase the size of each element as you add on. To balance elements that very dramatically in size, you will find that you will need to move your balance point much closer to the larger element. Again, try laying the elements out on paper first.

To make articulated mobiles, you will need to learn how to make a two-hole attachment instead of using jump rings. First, make two small holes near the edge of the shape. Pass the wire into the hole that is nearer to the edge of the shape, then bend it so that you can put it through the second hole. Once it’s through the second hole, crush the edge of the wire towards the first hole.

Learn the history of mobiles then see step-by-step how to create tree mobiles, articulated mobiles, and spiral mobiles. Illustrations show how to create balance loops, jump rings, and more. Includes examples by contemporary artists. Printed on card stock with holes for hanging and a protective UV coating. 18” x 24”.

Spiral mobiles (also known as petals mobiles) are vertical mobiles that are constructed like an inverted flower. The smallest elements are in the center of the mobile, and the larger elements surround the smaller elements. Spiral mobiles are more three dimensional and sculptural than articulated mobiles.

Articulation is the concept essential to a Calder-inspired mobile. Many of Calder’s most famous mobiles were simple, elegant articulated systems, beginning with a small shape at the end, then larger and larger pieces attached. Once suspended, a breeze catches the smallest end piece of a mobile and sets it in motion. As it moves, the wire turns until its loop catches, then the wire becomes rigid to the next wire, and picks up that second wire, and continues, creating a beautiful articulated movement. Wire Cutters Round Nosed Pliers

To make an end loop, first, grip the end of the wire with the tip of the round nose pliers. Now, bend the wire away from you. Slide the pliers down the wire a little and bend away from you again, then repeat once more until you have made a little loop in the wire. Remember to hold your finger as close to the bend as possible; this prevents the wire from bowing and gives you more control.

2 Jump rings are an important component of tree mobiles. Jump rings are small circular loops that can be used to join an object to a wire. To make jump rings wind a length of wire around a small cylinder such as a drill bit or a colored pencil. Slide the spiral off the cylinder and use the tips of your wire cutters to cut the spiral into individual rings.

Christopher Gulick, Study for Delores, date?, size?, colored pencil on paper

Calder was inspired by the colorful nonobjective work of Piet Mondrian, Joan Miró, and Wassily Kandinsky. Calder’s discovery had a profound effect on modern art. Artists today such as Christopher Gulick, Jack Bischke, and Rick Bissel continue to be inspired by this art form, and continue to influence its evolution.

American artist Alexander Calder (1898–1976) is known as the Father of the Mobile. In 1931, Calder created his first kinetic sculpture and gave form to an entirely new type of art. His first kinetic sculpture moved by systems of cranks and motors, and were dubbed “mobiles” by Marcel Duchamp—in French mobile refers to both “motion” and “motive.” Calder abandoned the mechanical aspects of these works when he discovered that he could create mobiles that would move on their own with currents of air or wind. The unpredictable movement of a mobile is a major part of its charm.

MOBILE

Tree Mobiles are mobiles arranged in a branching system with similarly sized elements. Think of the elements of a tree mobile as a trunk, branches, and small leaves. An important concept to remember when you are creating any mobile is to start at the bottom (small systems) and work you way to the top. Tree mobiles are great for collections of items such as stamps, bottle caps, seashells, coins, or other simply small abstract shapes.

PECT

Perspective is a way to create the illusion of three dimensions (height, width, and depth) on a two-dimensional surface (height and width). In linear perspective the sizes of objects diminish as they get farther away from the viewer, and parallel lines get closer together as they recede in space, until they converge at a vanishing point (VP).

TWO-POINT PERSPECTIVE

PECT

Linear Perspective

If scenes or objects are directly ahead of the viewer, the parallel lines or sides of objects leading away from the viewer will converge at a single vanishing point on the horizon line, an imaginary line that is exactly at the height of the observer’s eyes (eye level).

Three-Point Perspective

When looking directly down on a box or building, or directly up at a tall building or pole, the vertical lines seem to converge until they reach a vanishing point, often very far above or below the eye level. Three-point perspective is needed to draw this. Three-point perspective is also needed to correctly draw roofs, stairways, and ramps and for drawing boxes or objects that are tilted toward or away from the viewer.

From the nearest corner of the house, lines were drawn left and right and continued to where they met atHorizon vanishing with linepoints. By connecting the two vanishing points VP a horizontal line we can establish the eye level of the photographer. All edges parallel to each side wall will go to the same vanishing point.

THREE-POINT PERSPECTIVE

Horizon line

Linear Perspective

In two-point perspective, the box, building, or other object is not seen directly facing the viewer. Instead, we can see two sides of the object, and each recedes toward its own vanishing point on the horizon line. Two of the three dimensions (width and depth) are receding from the viewer and from the picture plane. When we can clearly see two walls or two sides of boxes, two-point perspective must be used.

Horizon line

1. Draw the first vertical pole as high as you want it to be. 2. Draw a horizon line, placing a vanishing point at the end of the horizon line. 3. Draw perspective lines to the vanishing point from the top and bottom of the pole.

The process is the same when figuring the placement and drawing of equally-spaced lines on the ground as the lines recede in space. The mid-line is all-important in figuring where to place the third and all succeeding horizontal lines.

Overlapping and Size Relationships combined In this group, these ways of showing depth are combined: overlapping, size relationships, and the location of the feet.

Remove the clay nipple using the loop tool.

depth: the sense of space in a painting, going back away from the viewer. Also, the third dimension of objects (length, height, and depth).

Vocabulary

diverge: to move apart. Parallel lines seem to diverge as they get closer to the viewer.

plane: any flat surface.

skyline: describes the edge where sky and earth seem to meet. Hills and building produce irregular skylines that are not the same as the horizon or eye level.

recede: to go back into the background or away from the viewer. regular: refers to parts, shapes, or intervals or angles that are consistently of the same size.

station point: the point at which the artist stands and from which perspective lines and angles are figured.

shadow: the darkest part of an object or person that is away from a direct light source. It defines form in a painting or drawing and indicates three dimensions.

In this arrangement, the same objects overlap each other, creating a sense of space and depth. The bottoms of the objects tell us which is closest.

three-quarter view: to look at a building or object slightly from one side, so that two sides can be seen at the same time.

Use a banding wheel to construct your pot. Score and slip the outside of base using vinegar. Press the clay coil on the wet scored edge. It is easier to control the shape if you only do one layer at a time. When joining the coil ends, lay them over each other and cut through both at an angle. This provides a large surface to score, slip, and join. Marks on the ruler show the thickness of the base. Mark the bat for centering. Turn the pot upside down on the bat.

Roll the clay with your palms and outstretched fingers, moving your hands slowly apart to the opposite ends of the lengthening coil. Coils do not have to be perfectly round. The diameter of the coil should be 1⁄2-inch to 3⁄4-inch. Make only a few coils at a time to prevent them from drying out.

Before beginning to draw buildings in three-point perspective, you need to realize several things. 1. Your eye level is very low on the page, and in this drawing is below the bottom of the page. 2. You will need a large sheet of paper to plot your three vanishing points. 3. Every line has to go to one of the three vanishing points. 4. Lines and edges that are parallel will go to the same vanishing point.

Consultants: Timothy Rose and Alexander Rose To make articulated mobiles, you will need to learn how to make a two-hole attachment instead of using jump rings. First, make two small holes near the edge of the shape. Pass the wire into the hole that is nearer to the edge of the shape, then bend it so that you can put it through the second hole. Once it’s through the second hole, crush the edge of the wire towards the first hole.

In spiral mobiles, the pieces should be attached at right angles, so you will need your loops to be forward facing. Bend the loop forward 90 degrees to accomplish this.

The step-by-step demonstrations explain how to modify square templates to develop tessellations using a grid and cut paper. These examples are representational figures; however, it is best to start with simple abstract patterns and then develop representational tessellations.

HISTORY OF TESSELLATIONS Tessellation designs have been used for over 6000 years by designers and mathematicians. Early tessellations were often mosaic tile designs used to decorate the floors and ceilings of palaces and mosques. The tessellated designs in the Alhambra mosque in Spain inspired the Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher. The contribution Escher made to tessellations was to make them out of recognizable figures. Tessellation designs are often seen in quilts, fabric, and wallpaper.

Rotation tessellations can be made from squares where the shapes are cut from adjacent sides and rotated to other adjacent sides. The template is then rotated 900 on a grid until the pattern is completed.

A tessellation is a potentially endless repeated pattern made up of one or more shapes that fit rotate 90° clockwise together like puzzle pieces with no gaps or overlaps. Square and other quadrilaterals, triangles, and hexagons can be used to design tessellations and they can be modified to create rotate 90° interlocking shapes as described counterclockwise in this poster series. The word tessellation is derived from the Latin word tessella meaning tile.

Jump rings are an important component of tree mobiles. Jump rings are small circular loops that can be used to join an object to a wire. To make jump rings wind a length of wire around a small cylinder such as a drill bit or a colored pencil. Slide the spiral off the cylinder and use the tips of your wire cutters to cut the spiral into individual rings.

In pure collage, all the paper shapes can be seen, and nothing is added to the surface.

Try to figure out what materials these artists used in their work. When working with collage, you can use anything that helps create the kind of surface or image you wish to develop. You can even recycle old collages or paintings, or use non-art materials.

Tree Mobiles

Have you ever looked at a painting and wondered what it might be like to step inside it or to see pieces of it moving? Movement is what mobiles are about. Whether hanging in an art museum or over an infant’s crib, a series of decorative elements suspended from wires or similar material is called a mobile. But how did mobiles get their name? Where, exactly, did they come from? And more importantly, where in the wide world of art do mobiles fit?

Working with collage is an exciting way to explore different materials and new directions in your own work.

The Life

wilton art programs

Aboriginal Art The art of Australia's Aborigines is explored in this program from prehistoric cave art to the paintings of contemporary artists. We see how art permeated every aspect of Aboriginal life and how it reflected their traditional ways as they painted on sheltered cave walls, carved on living trees, and engraved on flat rocks. Contemporary artists have adapted to an ever-changing world, but still keep their links with the ancient traditions. The issues of dispossession, broken families, racism, and an intensification of the sense of cultural identity provide strong motivation for painting themes.

THE CAVE PAINTER OF LASCAUX

Experience Catlin’s epic journey up the Missouri River, following parts of the Lewis and Clark trail, hear about his frontier adventures as told by Catlin himself, and learn about this incredible encounter of two cultures through the voices of Native Americans today. In the 1830s, Catlin was the first major artist to travel beyond the Mississippi and live with American Indians, eventually recording the “manners and customs” of 50 Plains tribes in his Indian Gallery. Catlin embodies many characteristics that we think of as quintessentially American—he was a visionary, an explorer, and an entrepreneur who risked everything for his art.

CRYSTAL

Among the native peoples who inhabit the unforgiving rocky landscape of the American Southwest, a tradition of magnificent ceramics and crafts has evolved for over a thousand years. The artists’ striking, imaginative designs respond to a spiritual as well as a practical desire to create an equilibrium between their life and the inhospitable landscape they inhabit. Visit Native American communities in New Mexico and Arizona, inhabited by the Hohokan, Mogollan, and Anasazi peoples. We are introduced to bold designs and art forms, ranging from stunning vases and bowls to hand-woven Navajo blankets to storyteller figures. With Hand and Heart introduces us to an intensely personal and spiritual art form. Features Lucy Lewis, Jody Falwell, Margaret Tafoya, Toni Roller, Fannie Nampeyo, Thomas Polacca, Mary Reed, and Helen Cordero.

Trees in the Sunset ✪ DIRECTIONS 1. Practice trees. On 8" x 11" copy paper, dip and stamp the edges of cardboard and poster board pieces in black tempera paint. Trunks are created by repeatedly stamping the corrugated edge of cardboard pieces side-by-side (above). Use the edge of poster board for the finer connecting detail. This student work (right) shows the creative variety that can be achieved in this process.

CONCEPTS: Progressive rhythm, Silhouette & Blending This project teaches children how to think beyond the standard “lollipop” style tree symbol to an expression of rhythm and movement in line. The process involves forming a line that continually divides and expands into smaller and smaller parts to form trees with expressive roots, trunks, branches, and delicate intertwining twigs. This process employs painting without a brush, as trees are “stamped out” using the edges of cardboard and poster board pieces that are dipped into tempera paint. The instant results of this stamping process are something children respond to. Warm and cool colors are blended to create a vibrant sunset. Set against this backdrop, the winter tree becomes a beautiful silhouette. Before creating the final tree in their 12" x 18" painted sunset, children try different styles on 8" x 11" sheets of paper. Many times “practice” trees become a work of art in themselves. An expressive example is painter Lee Oskar’s acrylic on canvas painting “Wisdom” shown top right.

2. Paint the sunset. Begin with the yellow base of the sky. Paint 1/2 - 2/3 of the vertical sheet with yellow temperapaint.

4. Add red. Repeat the process in Step 3 by adding red paint above the orange paint and blending.

Over 200 illustrations show step-by-step instructions for activities with paper, ceramics, printmaking, and more. The projects were created for elementary students to build confidence and selfesteem. Elements and principles of design are emphasized. Projects include masks, abstract art, fantasy space art, landscapes, printmaking, paper cutouts, mobiles, molas, and many more. 112 pages.

4 A Mosaic Mask

mosaic: art consisting of a design made of small pieces of colored stone or glass

Grade Level 5-6

Concept Masks can be formed over the face and decorated with a paper mosaic

Skill

Aztec Mask, Private Collection

Materials

Heavy-duty aluminum foil; newspapers; masking tape; wallpaper paste; black tempera paint; black acrylic paint; brushes;clear, glossy polymer acrylic; magazines with colored pages; scissors; white glue.

Masks for rituals and ceremonies were often made by inlaying small pieces of precious stones with great care. Such a mask is the Turquoise Mosaic Mask made by Aztec Indians seen on the left. Using the same technique with small squares of colored papers, a student made the mask shown on the right. You’ll learn how to make a mosaic mask also in this experience.

3 Place the mask on crumpled newspaper to preserve the form, then paint the entire mask with black acrylic paint.

Procedure

6 Cover the entire mask with squares. Eyes and a mouth should be cut from the pictures and glued to the mask, also.

Discuss the examples and point out that masks for rituals and ceremonies are made with care using special, often costly, materials. The Aztec people, for example, buried their dead leaders with masks made with turquoise and coral. Students will simulate real mosaic stones with paper on their masks.

1 Double a piece of heavy aluminum foil large enough to cover your face. Crumple it lightly and form it gently to the shape of your face.

7 Place a piece of tape on the inside of the mask on both sides. Punch holes, then insert cord so the mask can be worn.

2 Turn over the edges of the foil to make a neat outline.

5 Glue the squares in rows across the mask, leaving tiny spaces between them.

8 This is the completed mosaic mask. Can you see how the tiny squares of colored pictures resemble inlaid precious stones?

Extension: A papier maché mask can be made by placing the foil mask over a taped-down wad of newspaper, on a stack of newspaper, to help preserve the form as torn patches of newspaper dipped in wallpaper paste are applied.Torn, not cut, 2 x 2-in. patches are dipped into the creamy paste, pulled through two fingers to remove excess, and overlapped to make a thin layer. More pieces from the colored or comic section are used for alternate layers assuring an even coverage of four to five layers.To insure easy removal from the foil form later, the first layer should be applied with water only, not paste. Before the papier maché dries completely, remove it from the form, trim, and cut out any desired openings, like the eyes or mouth. Let the mask dry thoroughly before painting it all over with black acrylic or tempera paint followed with a finish of clear acrylic polymer.The mask can then be decorated with the mosaic pieces in the same manner as the foil mask.

4 Select brightly colored pictures from magazines and cut out small squares for the mosaic pieces. Here different shades of green and blue resembling turquoise were selected.

Students will tear a strip of aluminum foil long enough to fold double and fit generously over their face. They should crumple it lightly and form it gently over the face, exaggerating the nose. Turn the foil under all around to make a neat edge and reinforce the mask. Then, it should be painted with black acrylic paint. Study pictures of Mexican mosaic masks and note the variations of colors in the pieces of stone. Find a variety of blue, turquoise, and jade pages in discarded magazines, and cut the colors into strips about 1 3 ⁄2- ⁄4-in. wide. Use a toothpick to apply a spot of glue to each small mosaic piece as it is cut from a strip leaving tiny spaces between each one. Work in rows around the facial features, then fill in the rest of the surface with more pieces of varying colors.When all of the pieces have been glued on, coat the mask with clear, glossy acrylic polymer, sealing down all loose corners.

Demonstrate: After you use one color then you need to swish your brush in the water

Once they have drawn their second person – have them check the three realistic people goals before they add color. Have them do the finger measuring on the second person, confirm the shoulders are in the correct place, and make sure everything is a shape so that they can be colored in. Then they are ready for color!

Measure your volunteer (or another one) from the top of their head to their waist, and from their waist to their feet. Next, choose another student who is much taller and compare the same thing. Show how you can measure this equal length with your fingers when you are drawing.

The type that they are going to use is called watercolor paint. Watercolors have to have lots of water to work, and you have to use a paintbrush. Introduce them to “Peter the Paintbrush” He has hair on his head, not on his toes. Explain that you never want to jam Peter’s head into the paint - his hair will get wrecked. Instead you need to be gentle and use a back and forth motion when adding the water to the paint.

This means that they are ready to go forward and draw their second person! Help students; give a pep talk to those who need it. “You are so close, you just need to move those arms up to the shoulders.” Or “Great job, the legs are a little too long, just shorten them up a little.”

up and point to the following body parts as you discuss the shapes. • a circle for the head. • a small square for the neck. • an oval or rectangle for the body. • long skinny ovals or rectangles for the arms and legs. (This year talk about how your arms and legs are actually two shapes connected by your knees and elbows.) • any shape for the hands and feet.

Tell the artists that they are going to do a practice person first. Their second drawing they will be adding color to make them look more solid. Remind the students that they are trying to draw realistic people. If they were drawing cartoons there wouldn’t be any rules. Explain that you will be going around and looking for three things: • Are the two measurements equal (Head to waist, and waist to feet)? • Are the arms coming out of the shoulders (not the stomach)? • Is your person made out of shapes?

Some of this lesson is a repeat from my kindergarten drawing lesson. I teach “Drawing People” every year. I start with the basics and add more and more details as they progress in their skills. It is amazing seeing their growth from year to year. In first grade I make the distinction that this is a realistic person they are drawing.

Color and Shape

Tip: If a darker color over-powers a lighter color in the blending process, rinse the brush clean, blot it on a paper towel to remove excess water, and continue to blend the t wo colors.

History

Technology In both art and science, students are furnished opportunities to develop competency in decisionmaking. Technology in both content areas emphasizes that students develop fundamental abilities associated

with the process of design or planning. For example, in art as well as in science, students identify and state problems, plan and implement solutions, and then evaluate the effectiveness of the solution. Students who are able to isolate a design problem, state it, and then think it through to a logical solution are applying critical thinking skills that relate to everyday solutions. Technology also holds fundamental applications for the correlation of art and science, as it may be addressed through graphic, structural, and organizational design or through the use of media. The computer can be used for the presentation of content or as a medium for creating art. The rapid growth of the Internet and related technologies has already created a demand for the expertise of people knowledgeable about both art and science. Today’s students have grown up with computers and the Internet and are acclimated to fast-paced, simultaneous, and hypertext access to a broad range of information through a number of devices. Because these students are as likely to create and design digital information as they are to use it, effective art teaching should include interactive and engaging use of technology by students.

Science, like art, has its own history. It is a history that continues and is rapidly changing. By studying the chronologies of art and science, students are able to see the role that both fields have played in the development of cultures throughout time. By studying the histories of art and science, students can track the change in approaches to artistic and scientific inquiry and production. Additionally, the impact that science has had upon art and the ways that art has depicted science can be readily perceived. For example, tracking the history of art materials and media over time would be a meaningful exercise to discover how scientific developments have impacted the art world. Many of today’s students may be surprised to discover that paints were not always available in premixed, ready-to-use tubes and that artists in the past had to grind and mix their own.

Art, Science, and Writing Artists and scientists write and/or draw in diaries or journals about their daily work. Likewise, students can write in diaries or journals about their art and science activities. Artists and scientists write notations about their work, describe problems, and brainstorm solutions in sketchbooks or notebooks. Similarly, students can sketch and write about their work, problems, and solutions to problems.

individually or in groups of two or more, writing about art and science experiences helps students develop stronger communication skills and is a valuable component of any interdisciplinary connection.

Differentiation Take into consideration individual students’ developmental needs, readiness levels, and learning styles when planning integrated art and science lessons. Whenever possible, offer options for students that will enhance their learning. Students can work in small groups, with partners, or alone. Other students may benefit through the use of stencils, patterns, printed or illustrated step-by-step directions, or directions in both English and another language.

Careers that Require both Art and Science Students with a strong interest in art and science may want to consider careers that combine both interests. Medical and scientific illustrators, graphic artists, web site and software designers, industrial and product designers, architects, and animators all need to possess significant understandings of both art and science. Nevertheless, all students can benefit from meaningful educational experiences that are based on art and science.

• REPRODUCIBLE WORKSHEETS

Artists and scientists write sequential steps to follow in the creation of artworks or formulas. Students can write the steps they take to create an artwork or to devise an experiment. The sketchbooks of artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci, the original Renaissance man and interdisciplinary model, provide a fine subject of study for this approach. In his sketchbooks, da Vinci recorded drawings of his artwork and inventions along with written notes and ideas.

The young man attended college successfully—with a keen interest in drawing and painting. His career developed, along with his excitement for capturing entire cities with his pen. As his level of public recognition grew, Stephen was invited on many helicopter rides, where was able to mentally record the architecture of iconic cities around the world. His mind is like a camera—he is able to record the finest of details. His fame grew. Not only does Stephen have his own gallery in the Royal Opera Arcade (with the Queen’s blessings)…he seems to be drawing his way around the world, creating magnificent panoramic cityscapes. He’s visited Tokyo, Rome, Frankfurt, Madrid, Dubai, Jerusalem, Sydney, Paris, and Shanghai—to name a few! Yet Stephen has a particular fondness for New York City. When he was only five years old, he drew his own imaginary apartment. Later, in a London Times article, he was quoted as saying, “I’m going to live in New York someday. I’ve designed my penthouse on Park Avenue.” Stephen did travel to New York City, where he sketched the legendary skyscrapers of Manhattan. Stephen created a 250 mile long panoramic memory of New York which is on display on a giant billboard at JFK Airport. Stephen has referred 1/26/15 3:13 PM to New York as his “spiritual home.” Knowing this artist’s love of buildings, monuments, and architecture, it is easy to understand his attraction to the great American city.

“do the best you can and never stop. ” —stephen wiltshire

Famous Monuments and Landmarks Around the World: A Panorama Here’s an opportunity to learn the world’s most famous architectural and historic landmarks. Stephen, who is described as an autistic savant— places him the rare classification as artistic genius.The rest of us may create ink drawings by using fine tipped permanent black markers (Stephen uses a Staedtler pen). The activity will ask students to regard the images that the teacher makes available through magazines, books, and, of course, the internet. Some important icons are: Giza & the pyramids of Egypt (Africa); The Taj Mahal at Agra, India; Stonehenge in England –a pre-historic and sacred monument in England and the temples in Bali (Indonesia), “land of a thousand temples.” In Europe, we have the Eiffel Tower to represent Paris, France; in England, there’s the Clock Tower in London, affectionately known as Big Ben; and in Rome, Italy, there still stands a symbol of the ancient city—the Colosseum…in Greece, the Parthenon. In Mexico you’ll find another mighty pyramid—Chichen Itza on the Yucatan Peninsula…in North America, the Chrysler Building towers over New York City. Not very far away, stands the Statue of Liberty—a national monument that represents a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The teacher may add to or edit these suggestions.

activity

Here’s the tricky part (and Stephen’s first word): paper. Ideally, the teacher would pre-cut 5-6 foot lengths of white paper from a roll. This method assumes that the art room has the surfaces to accommodate the paper lengths. Confident students would divide into groups to discuss the placement of their choices, and then draw them directly on to the paper. To combine the various monuments and landmarks, students will consider compositional ideas for the sky and ground to create a unified whole and—although this is a liberal interpretation of the concept of panorama— this finished piece will have a large scale, panoramic appearance! The finished product will take us around the world. Tip: color may used at teacher’s discretion. If watercolor is selected, the markers must the permanent non-toxic kind…or they will “bleed” the image. If other water sensitive markers are used, color pencils or crayons are a fine to use. An alternative for students who might have a hard time with the previously mentioned approach: students will individually (or “buddy system” style) draw a straightforward image of their world landmarks on drawing paper. Pencils (first) and larger markers may work here. The teacher can then decide if students should cut out and glue their drawing on large paper or on a few display boards when finished. The end result will still take us through their visual accomplishments!

What do all these creative Art Heroes have in common? They didn’t let their conditions stop them. In fact, they “dance” with their disabilities ! There are some artists with disabilities who may feel that their conditions are a creative gift, and don’t particularly want to be known as brave. It is the observation of this author that life itself takes courage. We can’t help but admire people—any people , who manage their lives with purpose and conviction, in the face of daunting circumstances. In Yiddish, this is called chutzpah –which is an attitude of indomitable determination. After watching my young students who were blind paint with success…how can that not impress me as an artist and teacher? To quote Simona Azori, an incredible artist and dancer who has no arms… “Being able to solve problems depends on how you approach them.” Practical, yes. Yet she and her art are dazzling . I do believe disability can fire up creativity…I still believe in courage…and in Art Spirit!

Have you heard about a brilliant artist whose phenomenal memory enables him to remember entire cityscapes…then draw them in exacting detail, including number of windows? Meet Stephen Wiltshire, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. His speech was delayed until he was five and said his first word: paper. At an early age, he began sketching landmark London bridges, among other subjects. By the age of nine, he learned to speak fully—and also received his first commission! It was from the late Prime Minister Edward Heath, who wanted Stephen to draw the Salisbury Cathedral. His artistic career was launched! His next ambitious project at age ten was called The London Alphabet – a group of pictures that illustrated famous landmarks in alphabetical order, from Albert Hall (a famous musical venue) to the London Zoo. By the 1980s, Stephen had literary representation for a book had written—and a visible artistic presence. He was recognized by the late Hugh Casson, former president of London’s Royal Academy of Art, and placed under his mentorship…Stephen was identified as “possibly the best child artist in Britain.”

Through observation and interpretation of masterworks or by creating works of art that depict local, national, or global environments, students are better able to visualize the impact of society upon the natural world. Contemplating personal and social issues through works of art helps students to better understand the characteristics of populations, resources, the environment, and the impact that individuals and groups have upon them.

Art and Science

Personal and Social Perspectives

Art production, art discussion, and art writing activities can provide concrete examples for exploration of science topics such as mass, matter, and chemical reactions. For example, what does a sculptor need to know about mass and matter? Why do printmakers need to understand how certain chemicals react with each other? Why do painters need to know if the colors they use will remain true over time? When students participate in activities that allow them to think and act as artists facing these problems, meaningful solutions result because the scientific concepts have been applied to a real-life experience.

H E R’

Remember when I told you about the Wandjina who are the mouthless ghostlike creatures who swirl around in the monsoon? Well, they have a leader and his name is Namar. He’s also a Wandjina, and he’s called the big boss in the sky because he gave the Wandjina their language, culture, and law. On the picture on the next page, Namar is represented with antenna-like shapes extending from his head. The little white circles are baby clouds to help hold him on his planet. The little black dots are magnets to keep the clouds from falling off.

A+ H O

And the red and white scarf around his head keeps him warm. The collage was made by an unknown Aborigine artist. I like the smiley faces on the antennas, don’t you?

Namar has his own planet and never comes down to earth. He sends messages to the ancient Wandjinas wherever they live. Do you see the little lizard on the very large rock looking up at the sky? He is very surprised to see Namar in his planet.

MOLLY MEETS MONA & FRIENDS, Water, Water Everywhere... and Claude Monet to Paint It!

One day Boudin said to me “Learn to draw well and appreciate the sea, the light, the blue sky.” I took his advice. — Claude Monet

Born to Paint

As you can see in Beach Scene at Trouville, the “Age of Tourism” begins!

“Suddenly it was as if a veil had been torn away…I understood what painting could be,” stated Monet. As a result, he would discover his interest: water in its many manifestations…sky, light, color, and the changing atmosphere. He would never be too far away from water no matter where he lived or traveled.

Caricature was very popular in France during

Claude Monet, 1860. Photo: Carjat

One might say that Monet was destined to become the most admired painter of the 19th century. There is no doubt that his talent, like his spirit and appetite for life, was enormous. Yet he was also in the right place at the right time. It so happened that artist Eugène Boudin — sometimes called “the world’s littlest Impressionist” — lived nearby. Other artists, like Gustave Courbet, an outdoor painter and naturalist, loved the coast of Normandy and visited frequently.

One of Molly’s favorite pastimes is visiting the art museum. From the moment she arrives, she is magically transported right into the works of some of the world’s greatest artists. 40 pages. Hard cover.

Local legend has it that young Monet’s caricatures appeared in the town’s art supply and frame shop window to the enjoyment of the town folk, who followed the pictures as they were replaced each week in a gold frame. Boudin — who painted en plein air (in open air ) — saw Monet’s amusing caricatures at the shop. He immediately recognized exceptional creativity. Boudin introduced Monet to en plein air painting and became his mentor.

His artistic enthusiasm and outgoing nature appeared early in life. He was hardly an ideal student and doodled in the margins of his notebooks. “I was born undisciplined,” admitted Monet.

MINNERLY & WALKER

Claude Oscar Monet was born in Paris in 1840 near the river Seine. He grew up in Le Havre in Normandy, the place where the mouth of the River Seine meets the English Channel in Northern France. Monet had a happy, adventurous childhood by the sea.

Monet’s era. Students can draw a portrait of a famous person, or do a self-portrait. Remember to exaggerate the facial features and hair!

 Paint or sketch a miniature outdoor scene.

 Cut paper into the shape of a palette

to create a palette shaped landscape or seascape (see photo at left).

The seaport of Honfleur where Monet visited with painters Boudin, Bazille, and Jongkind in 1864, when it was still a fishing village. Today it is an artist’s delight!
