Shape is all around you. You have probably noticed simple shapes like circles, squares and triangles, but for this project, you will tune your eyes into the complex shapes of shadows. A shadow is formed when an object blocks light. The shape of that object becomes the shape of the shadow. Watch the slide show for some ideas on how to use shadows. Gather your supplies, and then create your own shadow shapes. When you are done, you can either email a photograph of your finished piece to [email protected] or submit it into your Seesaw. I will add the emailed photos to the slideshow for everyone to see!

This week's art challenge asks you to create a robot to help you to do something in your life. You may have new responsibilities as you adjust to learning at home. How can your robot help? Artist's throughout the ages have created artwork that reflects the time period they live in. Your robot can be a drawing, a collage, or a sculpture. Think about what your robot can do to help you, your family or your neighborhood. Watch the slideshow on this website to get some ideas, gather your supplies and create your own robot. When you are done you can take a picture and email it to me at [email protected] or add it to your Seesaw template. I will add the first ten emailed photos to the slideshow for everyone to see! You know that stuff in your recycling bin? Well, it can become art! When we use an object to create a work of art, it becomes an art tool. Art materials are associated with application techniques. Some are traditional, others are experimental. This week's art challenge asks you to search around for some thin cardboard and make a sculpture out of it. You can experiment with many different ways of using it. Will you cut it, bend it, glue it, tape it, draw on it? Watch the slide show on this website to get some ideas, make your art, take a picture and either email it to me at [email protected] or add it to your Seesaw template. I am excited to see what you make. Artists use elements of art like line, shape, color, and space. These elements become a language to communicate visually. Lines can be curvy, straight, zigzag, thick, thin, bumpy and scratchy. Lines can suggest movement, mood and emotion. For this week's art challenge, you will create a line drawing. Watch the slide show on this website to see how my family used line to create our free-form art. When you are done, take a picture of your line art and email it to [email protected]. Artists like Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee created many works that inspired the following examples: Humans from all cultures, past or present, have created art and that art is influenced by the time period and the culture in which they live. Our lives are filled right now with being at home with our family. We are staying home and staying safe. What kind of collage can you make from magazines, newspapers, and thin cardboard boxes that shows something important in your life. A collage is a picture made by sticking different pieces of paper to a backing. Will your collage show your family or something from nature? Will it be somethings from your imagination? Will it be funny? Watch the slideshow to get some ideas, then ask your family to help you find some scissors, an old magazine, and some glue. I'm excited to see your collage so please email a photo to me at [email protected]. Happy creating. Here's a special Earth Day Challenge for those of you who are feeling extra creative this week. Make art about the environment celebrating the world we care for, send a picture to [email protected] and I will add it here for everyone to enjoy. Sometimes artists use traditional materials like pencils or paint to make art. Other times they find things that are supposed be used for different purposes and make art out of them. Now is the perfect time to get inspiration from artists like Alexander Calder, Betye Saar, Robert Rauschenberg and Louise Nevelson. These famous assemblage artists put together found or unrelated objects often using untraditional art materials. For this week's art challenge, you will create a temporary sculpture of an animal out of found materials. First watch the slide show to see how my family created our animal assemblages. Next think about what kind of animal you want to make. Look around your home for things you can use to create your sculpture. Start with the biggest shapes like the head and the body and then add the smaller details on top. When you are done, take a picture of your animal assemblage and email it to me at [email protected] and I will add your art to this website! Happy creating. Artists use color to express emotions and to communicate ideas. Can you find color in your everyday life to create a temporary sculpture or a collage? Watch the slideshow to see how my family found color around our home and then see what you can make. Send me a picture at [email protected] of your finished color creation and I will share it with the Thurston community on this website! The challenge this week is to see if you can create a creature using textures. Texture is the way something feels. It can be bumpy, smooth, scratchy, sandy, fuzzy etc. We looked around our house for objects with texture and made a collection. Next, we placed the objects under our paper and rubbed the paper with the side of a crayon. You can do texture rubbings with pencils and other drawing materials too. We started with the big shapes like the body, head, arms and legs. Then we added details like eyes, nose, and mouth. Finally, we added texture to the background and inside our shapes. Can you find the texture in the world around you? Watch the slideshow for ideas. I'd love to see your Texture Monsters. Take a picture of your finished Texture Monster and email it to me at [email protected] I will add the first ten to the website for everyone to enjoy! |
