Out first project for Art Club this year was Sandcastles! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It goes along with our school theme; "Where Success is a Shore Thing!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did the same lesson with both groups (3rd-5th and Kinder-2nd), </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but of
course each group brought their own set of skills to the lesson. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Day 1: We drew
out our sandcastles and traced with a crayon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Day 2: We started to watercolor paint. With the younger group they were given a bit of salt to add with their watercolor to create that sand texture effect. </div>

Where does the time go!! Summer already? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I know we all are ready for a little summer time fun and sun. But I don't want anyone to forget all that wonderful art knowledge we learned this year and let their skills get rusty. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know this summer, I will be making art just for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm taking a break this year from my usual art camp routine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT if you are still interested in some summer camp options (and I hope you are), <a href="http://fun4firstcoastkids.com/Camps/Art-Camps/">check out this website</a>. If you go to the bottom you can filter by week or price. There are options for EVERYONE! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recommend Ponte Vedra Cultural Center, where I have worked past summers. Along with art camps @MOCA, they are partnered with my alma mater UNF. And I have been hearing good things about The Art Garage, from students around school. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Art is an awesome way to spend your summer, all you really need is something to draw on and with and you can create something amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone has a safe and colorful summer!! I'll see you all in the fall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

4th Grade is ending the year, much like we started. I like to start the year by gauging where my students are with their drawing from observation skills. We usually start by simple drawing exercises, drawing their hands and other little objects I have. Then to see how they have developed I try to incorporate a drawing from observation in our lesson at the end of the year. So with a little inspiration from Georgia O'Keeffe and her skull paintings, the challenge was given. </div>

I am always proud of my students and it excites me to see how they grow as artists from year to year. But these really filled my heart and eyes with joy. I seriously was moved to tears of joy in at least two of my fourth grade classes, during the drawing portion of this lesson. </div>

Thank you to Cedar Creek Elementary and your <a href="http://www.artsonia.com/museum/art.asp?id=7064615&exhibit=235803&gallery=y">Artsonia page</a> for the inspiration. </div>

So not only did I do Pirate Portraits with Second Grade, but also with First and KINDERGARTEN. WHAT?! Portraits with Kinders. I have not done it before, usually we start in First. But this year I was feeling feisty, so I gave it a try. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our theme was Self Portrait Pirates. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We ALWAYS do a practice and learn, like artists. Then we use the practice to help on the project so we don't have to draw lines all over the faces. Here you can see the side by side. </div>

They had done a few drawings of people in their classroom lessons, which I think helps. For the first time portrait project, the results aren't too bad. </div>

2nd Grade is finishing up their Pirate Portraits. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to do a portrait lesson every year with my kids starting in 1st grade. I try to come up with different themes so it's not just the same self portrait every year. This year our school theme is pirate which is GRRREAT for portraits and as you can tell we are doing all sorts of pirate ship and ocean themed projects this year. (Stay tuned for kindergarten and 1st grade pirate ship seascapes.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...this being the second year this class of students have done portraits, I am really happy to see them progress and develop as artsits. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, we talked about the difference between symmetry and asymmetry. Because pirates might not have the same symmetry like our faces' do, because of scars or eye patches. When starting we painted the face and neck with some skin tone paints. Then drew the face, hair and shirts with oil pastels. </div>

Fourth Grade learned about Pop Art and TWO artists. First was Keith Haring and his ROLLING (Or dancing) characters. We drew our own characters in an Andy Warhol inspired 4 square layout. Then used Complementary Colors to finish it up. </div>

4th and 5th grade are starting out with the same project this year. (I don't usually do that) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both are learning about line, rhythm and value. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="author notFaded" data-width=""><span class="contribution"><span class="a-color-secondary">After the story we talked about rhythm and how to show movement on a flat page. Next, I gave students step by step direction on how to draw a wave. Then they started to get creative by adding zentangle patterns and rhythms inside the ocean. </span></span></span></div>

This year in Art Club it is all about experimenting and trying new techniques. I've always loved art club because it's a smaller group of kids who all REALLY enjoy art! So this year we ALL (Yes even me) are going to try some new ways to make art. Each quarter will focus on a different medium. This quarter is all about drawing. I'm showing the older kids how to hone their skills and the younger ones get to use some new supplies. </div>

First lesson for the littles (K-2nd)...CAVE ART. Cave men are the first artists you know. First we went on a virtual tour of the <a href="http://www.lascaux.culture.fr/?lng=en#/fr/00.xml">Lascaux Cave</a>. Then we made our own cave wall and animals using chalk. (The closest I wanted to give them to charcoal.) Well we got a bit messy, but made some wonderful art. </div>

3rd Grade started the year with a Zentangle. If you aren't sure a Zentangle is, it is the art of doodling. The idea that doodling can be relaxing or zen like. And then adding that idea to create it's own picture or into another. In our case we started with an ocean landscape, like you were looking at all the layers of the ocean. Then at each layer we put patterns and rhythms to create the Zentangle. </div>

Most Zentangles are black and white. But we added a some color to ours. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We talked about Value and what a Monochromatic Color Scheme is. I gave the kids some tip and techniques on how to create values with watercolor.</div>

2nd Grade learned about Concentric Line to begin the school year. I thought this might be a bit of a challenge, but turns out they were up for it! I love my smART Artists!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started by drawing three shapes in the middle of our paper. Close to each other perhaps even overlapping a bit. Then I taught them what a concentric line was and how to make it so it goes around all their shapes. Echoing the side and curve of each of their shapes, they were to grow these concentric lines until it was over flowing from their paper. Next we choose three colors to create a pattern. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to get busy making beautiful art with all of my wonderful
little artists. I will be seeing every class once a week, so we are
going
to get a lot of good stuff done and work on building our art skills.
This year school's theme is "Where Learning and Students Arrgh Treasured!", which is all pirate related so be on the look out for wonderful pirate self portraits and pirate ship seascapes! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
If you would like to help us make some amazing new art this year, there are a few things we will need:<br />
<ul>
<li>Craft Materials---> Burlap and other Fabric, Beads, Buttons, Wire
in a variety of color, Yarn, Sand Paper</li>
<li>Toys--->Plastic Cars, Plastic Dinosaurs, Legos, Play Sand (Or Beach Sand)</li>
<li>All types of magazines, but sports magazines would be the best! </li>
<li>Art Supplies---> Containers with<u> lids</u> (my favorite are the
cream cheese and baby food), Flat boxes (like used for soda flats or
the lid from a ream of paper), egg cartons, foam trays (Fruit and
Veggies only, NO meat)</li>
<li>Anything that would be interesting to draw--> Shells, Vases, Teapots, Keys, Fake Flowers etc. </li>
<li>Pringle Cans-->This year 5th grade with be making pottery and the Pringle's cans are perfect for that cylinder shape. </li>
</ul>
And then there are the basics that I have listed on the top
right side of my blog that we are always in need of each year. Just
remember if you sending in a container that once held food, please <u><b>WASH</b></u> it thoroughly before sending it to school. Thank you! <br />

I can't wait to see all my students and hopefully some beautiful artwork that was done over the summer!

4th grade ended the year by learning about Op Art. Op Art is artwork that creates the illusion of depth or movement on a flat 2-Dimensional surface. We learned from the blog <a href="http://createartwithme.blogspot.com/">Create Art With Me</a> which has a great lesson plan and directions. Instead of using marker we painted to create our lines before cutting and arranging our movement. The results were mixed, but really they varied on how well students were following directions. </div>

After we painted our papers we measured 1/2" stripes on the back of the paper, 24 in total, numbering them. Then during the first class I had them cut them ALL out at once. This was a mistake, they should cut as the go. <br />

Starting with stripe #12 and working backwards towards #1, stripes overlap slightly on the left side of the paper, and they will start to curve. <br />

Then you begin the second half with stripe #13 and going to #24, overlapping on the right side and curving the opposite direction. <br />

Well it's hard to believe that Summer is right around the corner (15 days school days left). And if you have an art smart kid then I'm sure your trying to find them an art camp. I found a great website that has a number of different camps you can check out all on one site: <br />
<a href="http://fun4firstcoastkids.com/Summer-Camps/Art-Camps/" target="_blank">http://fun4firstcoastkids.com/Summer-Camps/Art-Camps/</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recommend MOCA Jax and The Cummer for the museum feel. I have heard great things about "Children's Art Classes". And if you are wondering where to find Mrs. Myers this summer, I'll be at The Cultural Center in Ponte Vedra. The
weeks of June 15-19; June 22-26 and July 27-31. Though I will be doing the 4
and 5 year old group. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a very colorful summer!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(But stay tuned because there is still more artwork to come from this school year.) </div>

First we talked about Onomatopoeia words, which are words that sound like their action. Then students picked a word and started to paint using bright colors to show emphasis. When the word was finished we started on the background by collageing an action bubble with newspaper. Once everything was cut and pasted, oil pastels were used to add a bit more detail and even more action. And I'm so sorry I can't find the blog to which inspired me, but thank you! </div>

Kindergarten was inspired by the artwork of Grant Wood and created their own farm landscape. </div>

I love to use Grant Wood as a way to introduce Kinder to landscapes and how to show Space. Grant Wood has clear overlapping hills and uses size as a way to show objects in the distance. These are all very easy ways for younger students to understand space on a flat surface. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First we started by drawing those overlapping hills. Then we used oil pastels to draw objects such as trees, houses and crops to our farm. Last we used watercolor to fill in the sky and ground. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few landscapes from this year: </div>

Inspired by artist Henri Rousseau and his wonderful jungle paintings. First we made a tiger from clay then we created our own tiger hidden in the jungle picture. <br />
<br />
I found a great pinch pot technique on how to make the tigers, I adapted it from a lesson I saw on Deep Space Sparkle.<br />

The tiger collages turned out great! After we painted our tigers we cut them out and glued them onto a green paper to look like they are in the jungle. I encouraged students to add leaves and other jungle animals to hide in their picture like Rousseau. <br />

And how Monochromatic doesn't really mean "one color", but it has array of values. After a day where we just practiced mixing values, we talked about one point perspective and drew a field with lines all going to one point. On that point we added a windmill, I showed examples of the tulip fields in The Netherlands to help inspire them. What inspired me was a post on <a href="http://afaithfulattempt.blogspot.com/">afaithfulattempt.blogspot.com </a>. The results turned out amazing, I know I will picking one of these for our district show this year!<br />

This is one of my all time favorite lessons, first grade Mondrian Animals! This wonderful lesson comes curiosity of "Arts and Activities", and I adapted it a bit. Students are first introduced to the work of Piet Mondrian, with the geometric shapes and primary colors. Then they draw an animal of their choosing, inside they fill it with squares and rectangles, but don't make it look like a checker board. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next time we paint after reviewing the primary colors (red, yellow and blue). It is really hard for them not to mix, because they learned in Kindergarten that the primary colors mix and make new colors. So I remind them not to mix and that we will mix in a our next lesson. This lesson is a great warm up to painting for the year and talking about craftsmanship. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last we cut out out animal and glue it onto a black background and fill the space with shapes. The arrangements were very abstract and varied this year. </div>

Art Club (3rd-5th) learned about George Rodrigue and his "Blue Dog". First we watched a YouTube video of George Rodrigue from "Sunday Morning", to learn more about this artist and his Dog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that we drew the dog, breaking it down into steps and shapes we recognize. When students were ready to paint their dogs, I reminded them that Blue Dog is not always blue. The next day when it was time for backgrounds on a separate paper we painted monochromatic, concentric shapes, the color was to be the same or contrast the "Blue Dog". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another great resource I used was the book, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Why is Blue Dog Blue? A Tale of Colors" by George Rodrigue. </div>
