<h2>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">GWMS Week 5.4</span></h2>
<div>
We have been talking about how to look at things around us in a new way - to notice the little details, and not just rely on our memory to produce a work of art.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Students are finding images of interest to them on the internet and looking at objects in the art room to use for subject matter in their paintings. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next week, we will begin printmaking!</div>

<div>
The last group of students have started the 5th rotation in the art room - I can not believe this year is almost over! I have learned so much as a first-year <a href="http://teachingforartisticbehavior.org/" target="_blank">TAB</a> teacher. I like to think the students have learned a lot too. As the 8th graders prepare to move onto high school, it is my hope that many of them will continue to study art.</div>

Only one more week of the fourth rotation - time sure flies! This past Thursday was <i>Collage</i>, District 103's fine arts festival. The elementary art teachers and I displayed work from our school in the media center for the night. We had a great turn out and it was nice to see the students' art being celebrated.</div>

The students are having fun exploring painting and printmaking. We also had several students work on the "Doodle 4 Google" project - it would be fantastic to have a GWMS student's design win!</div>

The third rotation is over tomorrow. We missed four days this time around because of the crazy-cold weather. Luckily, the art room is always warm and full of energy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decided to have students work on a collaborative project to conclude this session. All six of my classes had the chance to paint on popsicle sticks with acrylic paint. I hot-glued the sticks to a canvas that we painted black. (I originally saw an image of this project on Pinterest - so thank you, to whomever came up with this idea) I think it turned out very well!</div>

Our fiber center was opened this week and the students jumped at the chance to make their own stuffed animals and pillows. We viewed examples of "Ugly Dolls" as inspiration, but the students definitely had their own ideas. I think they turned out fantastic! </div>

Two weeks off for winter break, plus two extra days off for the "Polar Vortex Event" gave us a three day week. The students transitioned well back to school and were ready to make art. This week's video shows what has been happening in the collage center.</div>

<div>
Today begins Winter Break. As wonderful as this year has been, I am happy to have some time to relax! This third rotation has been going so well. The students continue to create art that is important to them. As we approach the holiday season, some students <u>chose </u>to make work that shows their excitement about Christmas. This is what I love about <a href="http://teachingforartisticbehavior.org/" target="_blank">TAB!</a> So often it seems that adults are imposing their ideas about the holidays on children. Unfortunately, the reality is that it can be a very stressful and not always happy time for students. I am so glad that I could offer a calm and accepting place for all students to explore their own ideas. </div>
<div>

<div>
Wishing everyone all the best in the new year - Happy 2014!</div>

We are wrapping up our 7 week rotation - it always seems to go so fast! Several students continued using the viewfinders, this time looking at candy wrappers. This lesson came from <a href="http://artfulartsyamy.blogspot.com/2013/09/pop-art-candy-wrappers-and-prang.html" target="_blank">Artful Artsy Amy's blog</a>.</div>

Tornados, butterflies and watercolors, oh my! Last weekend there was severe weather in our area and tornados in Southern Illinois. I love that in a choice-based classroom students can process their thoughts and experiences in their artmaking.</div>

This week I showed students how to use a viewfinder to concentrate on a portion of an image. I saw an oil pastel lesson on the <a href="http://suffieldart.blogspot.com/2012/11/4th-grade-animal-enlargements-in-oil.html" target="_blank">Field Elementary Art Blog</a>, which I introduced to my classes. The previous teacher in my room left a boxed collection of animal cards that were perfect for this idea as well as everyday art inspiration. Here are some examples:</div>

Sewing and weaving continue and with these projects comes lost needles and tangles of yarn! I spent some time brainstorming inexpensive ways to keep things under control in the classroom. I gathered some shoeboxes from colleagues and put one skein of yarn in each box. Most of the boxes had a hole through the side and lid of the box. This made it easy to thread the yarn through. If there wasn't a hole, I just used scissors to make one. I taped the boxes shut and put a note on top " DO NOT OPEN THE BOX! Pull out the yarn that you need, cut, and leave a tail." So far, so good!</div>

The next thing I had to tackle was the needles. I posted sign-out sheets - one for the plastic weaving needles and one for the metal sewing needles. I hot glued 14 clothespins to a posterboard for the plastic needles and glued 14 magnets to a posterboard for the metal needles. The students must sign their name and put the number needle they are using on the sign-out sheet. At the end of class I can quickly see if we are missing any needles.<br />

Students were very interested in printmaking. I found a great foam reduction print lesson on <a href="http://useyourcolouredpencils.blogspot.com/2011/12/relief-prints.html" target="_blank">Use Your Coloured Pencils Blog</a>. Several students tried this three-color reduction print technique with great results.<br />

The students enjoyed seeing images of Wayne Thiebaud's dessert and cake paintings. He seemed like a natural choice when we were talking about tints and shades of colors. Some students chose to paint pictures of cake with tints and shades - they were very successful.</div>

There is a great video about Wayne Thiebaud on CBS Sunday Morning. You can watch it here:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI_QJ5D9Qm8" target="_blank">Wayne Thiebaud</a>.<br />

We opened the printmaking center this week and students learned about monoprints and relief prints. I found a great video about a collograph mask that uses positive and negative spcae. It can be viewed here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c40vNcsx9fU" target="_blank">collograph mask</a></div>

Students have been able to work on drawing, collage and painting. The students' art reflects their interests and some common themes have emerged: sports, superheroes, cars, music and video games.</div>
