Vincent Van Gogh Art

 



Description: 
                For this project we were to create a Vincent Van Gogh inspired scene using oil pastels, construction paper, tissue paper, mod podge to hold everything together. I chose blue construction paper for the back, and then picked purples, blues and pink tissue paper to put onto it. I then cut out mountains from black construction paper and outlined them with a white oil pastel. 

Extension Activity: 
                I would use this in a science lesson when we go over biomes. I would have them include a couple different vegetations and landforms in that biome as the black construction paper. They will then present it in front of the class and talk about their biomes.

Earth Ocean

  Description:               For this project we used construction paper for all of it. We started off by grabbing one for the background. We then chose another color for our fish, we folded our paper in half hotdog style and traced the already pre-traced fish onto the construction paper. After tracing we cut it out and then unfolded it which then made the whole fish. We then folded the fish in half to make our line we would cut to so that we could weave the other color into it. We then cut out pieces of the second color, and then wove it into the fish and then cut a diagonal cut along the outside to make it look more like fins. With those pieces that were cut off we glued those onto the fish in different areas to look like scales. Once the fish was done I glued on some brown construction paper as the sand, glue on the fish and then cut out some 'seaweed' and a crab and glued that on to make the whole picture.  Extension Activity:  ...

Elements and Principles

Image
Description:               For this project we went over many different elements and principles in art. We needed to take 12 different pictures that covered: shapes, texture, lines, value, emphasis, color, space, contrast, movement/rhythm, balance, patterns/repetition, and unity. After we took the pictures, we put them into either a PowerPoint or made a game for the class.  Extension  Activity:               When covering all of the elements and principles I would like to spend a little bit more time on them and have them spaced out and do some little projects within them. I think taking the time on each one and making sure that the students understand them could really benefit them and help them remember them. After we have gone through them all I would have had them keep all their little projects that we did and put them into a binder and they would then "present" them to the rest of th...

Print Making

Image
  Description:                    For this project we needed to make a ocean scene on a piece of normal paper. Once the ocean scene was drawn we then had to tape it onto a piece of Styrofoam and traced over top of it for it to transfer on. It needed to be traced over top of a couple of times to make sure it went through onto the Styrofoam. After it was traced we then took the normal piece of paper off and colored it will markers. Once it was colored we went and got the piece of water colored paper wet and then dried it off a bit. then put the Styrofoam that was now colored in, put it on top of the damp water color paper and rolled over top of it with a brayer which made the picture transfer.  Extension Activity:               I would make this into an activity that goes over a bunch of different habitats. One week we could focus on oceans, then deserts, mountains, etc....
