EARTH DAY ART

Our planet is an amazing place, but it needs our help to thrive! That’s why each year on April 22, more than a billion people celebrate Earth Day to protect the planet from things like pollution and deforestation. By taking part in activities like picking up litter and planting trees, we’re making our world a happier, healthier place to live.

With your parents permission, view this video about the history of Earth Day:

With your parents permission, view this song about recycling:

What are some ways that we can help the earth?

1. Turn off the lights. Remember to turn lights off when you leave a room!

2. Don’t waste water. Turn off the water while you brush your teeth, so you don’t keep it flowing down the sink.

3. Reuse. Get a reusable water bottle instead of using plastic ones. 

4. Recycle. Make sure you know what items are trash and what can be recycled! Bottles, cans, magazines, newspapers, pizza boxes, etc—can be recycled.

5. Borrow. Borrow books from the library.  It will save trees!

6. Refuse. You can say “No, thank you” to plastic straws at restaurants, extra napkins at concession stands, plastic bags at shops, if you don’t need them.

7. Get creative. Use toilet paper tubes, egg cartons, and other waste items for fun art projects!

8. Have a green thumb. With your parents help, plant and grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs in your backyard.

9. Don’t be a litterbug. Always hold onto your trash until you find the nearest trash can. 

10. Get out in nature! Go outside with your parents and explore! The more you learn about nature, the more you’ll grow to appreciate all living things—and the more you’ll want to help protect them.

RECYCLED ART PROJECT

Materials needed

Items that would normally be thrown out

Glue or tape

Pencils, crayons, marker and paint (optional)

We are going to celebrate the Earth by making a flower out of recycled materials.  Make sure you have your parents help to find safe materials for this project.  Once you have some recycled material together you can put them together with glue or tape to make a beautiful flower.  I can’t wait to see what you create!

Some examples of recycled flowers are below.  You can use coffee filters, bottle caps, newspaper, popsicle sticks, buttons, old newspaper, cardboard.......Anything you want!

😊Art Can Show Emotion😥

1. Discuss these questions with your parent/guardian. 

👉What does the word emotion mean? What kinds of emotions 

      can you name?        

👉How do certain colors make us feel? Why?

👉Have you ever heard of "feeling blue" or "red hot temper"?

👉How do you feel today? 

2. With your parent or guardian's permission, check out this video:

                     Click Here to View: My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss

3. This is your art project:

✎Supplies Needed:
    Paper
    Pencil/Eraser
    Something to Color With (crayons, colored pencils
    or other)
    Mirror (hand mirror or mirror in your bathroom)

😊 Think about how you feel today (happy, sad, angry, etc.).

😣 Look in the mirror and make a face that shows how you feel.

😠 Pay special attention to how your mouth, eyes, and eyebrows look.

😀 Now, take a pencil and draw your face on a piece of paper.

😥 Next, think about a color that shows your 
     emotions or feelings.    
     For example, I think of yellow as sunny and 
     bright. 
     If I am happy, I might use  yellow.  
     If I'm sad, I think of blue, so I might draw
     myself and color it blue.  
     If I'm angry, I might color myself red. 
     Maybe I'm "green with envy" today.
            

            .  

4. Have your parent/guardian take a picture of your work. Send the picture to one of the phone numbers listed above. Feel free to write how you feel on your art.

Your art project this week is going to get you thinking like an artist.  I want you to find the letters of your initials in your environment.  For example: if my name was Snow White,  I would need to find an S and a W in my house.  If my name was Lady Glittersparkles, I would have to find a L and a G.  Take a picture of your two letters and send them to us!

Artist Spotlight - Keith Haring, POP Artist

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the United Kingdom and the United States during the mid- to late 1950s. The movement presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular and mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane mass-produced cultural objects. Credit: Wikipedia

We have worked on several POP art projects in class.  This time, we are going to work on creating moving figures such as the artist, Keith Haring, created.  Here are a few samples of his work:

"Dancing Dogs"

"Best Buddies"

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Watch the video read aloud story.  Here is the link:

Click Here to Watch: "The Boy Who Just Kept Drawing"

2. Look at this sample of the process: 

Student Spotlight - B.F. - The Dog Walker is Awesome !

3. Get your materials/supplies:

           Paper

           Pencil/Eraser

           Twigs/Sticks (use them from the ground, don't kill any plants or trees)

           Black for the outline (Sharpie, black crayon, black marker, or other)

           Something to add color (crayons, markers, colored pencils, or other)

4. Process:

          Put your paper down on a flat surface. 

          Fold your paper in half ("hamburger style") and create a crease in the middle.

          Place your sticks on the paper to create your composition.  You can crack the sticks 

          to make elbows, knees, etc. You must make at least 2 figures.  They can be people 

          animals or other living creatures. Use the middle line as a point to make space for 

          both figures. 

          Trace around the sticks with pencil (first).  Then, create a thick black outline after you

          are happy with how your composition looks.

          Color them in with bright colors (primary colors work great). 

5. Take a picture of your work.  Follow the directions at the top of the page to submit.

Shadow Drawing

A shadow happens when an object blocks the sun's rays. Shadows are longer in the winter because of the angle of the sun. Your shadow is longest in the early morning and in the late afternoon. In the afternoon, when the sun is directly above you, your shadow leaves your side for a little while.  Credit: amazingsciencefactsforkids.blogspot.com

Wouldn't you love to capture a shadow?  Well, here's your chance.  The cool thing is...you can create your art with shadows from any items that you want to use.  

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Watch the video read aloud story.  Here is the link:

Click Here for "Anywhere Artist" by Nikki Robinson

2. Look at the samples here:

Great Sample by F.B. - 3rd Grade - Mrs. McKnabb

3. Get your materials/supplies:

           Paper

           Pencil/Eraser

           Objects That Interest You 

           A sunny place to work (outside or near a window)

           Something to add color (crayons, markers, colored pencils, or other)

4. Process:

          Put your paper down in the sunny place.

          Place your items on the edge or next to the paper so that they cast shadows.

          Outline the shadows.

          Color your creation.

5. Take a picture of your work.  Follow the directions at the top of the page to submit.

Rainbow Chameleon

Have you ever seen a rainbow? Sometimes when the sun is shining and it is rainy somewhere at the same time, you can see a rainbow. It's a huge arch of colors in the sky. It's caused by the light from the sun being broken up by water droplets in the atmosphere. The sun's light is "white", but the water droplets break it up into seven different colors, always in this order:

RED- ORANGE- YELLOW-GREEN-BLUE-INDIGO-VIOLET

An easy way to remember the order is to remember the name Roy G. Biv. 

With your parents permission, watch this video below:

For this weeks lesson we are going to draw our own rainbow chameleon!!

Here is the link to the YouTube video I made to show you how to draw your very own chameleon!  

For those of you that can NOT access YouTube here are the step by step instructions to draw your own chameleon:
