Poster Final

I decided that I wanted to hang up my posters, so I didn't want to have things on the back.However, I have an extra file folder that will be kept with my posters. In that file folder I put all my examples of my work, including some extra pictures/examples of others' work. Also, I listed multiple ways to use the techniques at the bottom of the posters. However, they are in a smaller print so they are hard to read when you zoom in on the picture. I have post them below so that you will know what they say.

Textures:
Use textures to fill in blind-contour drawings such as Picasso face; OR in other drawings with many empty areas such as a house, animal or flower.

Collographs:
Create collographs of bugs, flowers, faces, animals, etc.

Modeling clay:
Modeling clay can also be used to make small people, scenery for claymations, objects for science lessons (plants, animals, planets, etc.) and so much more!

Stain Glass:
Create any type of stain glass art with this technique. This would be great integration. Have the children depict sections of history such as the crossing of the mayflower or Independence Day (the first in 1776, fireworks, etc.). This would also be good for projects like state/country reports (flags).

Practicum

I did an example for them. This was both a good and bad experience. It was bad because I didn’t do the squiggly line in a way that I could find real shapes in my doddle. For example, I did not draw a triangle or a square. However, I pointed out a shape and said, “This one looks kinda like a circle, doesn’t it?” One child piped in “It looks more like a oval” and another child said, “If you turn it on its side it looks like a rain drop.” It was clear to me that the children knew their shapes and so I did not cover them even though I should have. If I were to do this lesson again, I would explain the line in the same way I did this time and then continue to explain the basic shapes and shapes that don’t have any name, the ones that look like blobs. After I explained about lines and shapes, I would explain how to combine them into the designs that we made. The children were very receptive. I drew the sleeping and standing lines on one side of the paper and the design on the other and some of the children did just that, even though they didn’t need to draw the lines on the other side. As some of the children were finishing faster than others, I told them that they could draw shapes on the back or draw another design. Most of them that drew something on the back drew shapes that they already knew. Sadly I didn’t get any pictures of that. This project made me excited for teaching art because they children were eager to make their own designs and they all came up with beautiful art work! I was very impressed with what they produced.
