The students began this Kimmy Cantrell lesson by looking at images of his ceramics, then creating their own by using clay slabs and making textured, layered masks. The focus was on asymmetry. After the ceramics project, the students used Kimmy Cantrell's artwork for inspiration to draw large oil pastel masks.

After watching videos and viewing images of Nick Cave Soudsuits, the students discussed how the soundsuits might represent diversity. They also made observations about movement, texture, patterning and color. Beginning with pencil drawings, the students invented at least three soundsuits. Next, they traced their drawings with Sharpies and colored in their images. For color themes, one soundsuits could be any colors, one warm colors, and the last cool colors. Using colored pencils, the students created interesting patterns and textures. Once the 4th graders completed their drawings, they cut out their images and glued them together so they looked as they might be having a dance party. If you are not familiar with the work of Nick Cave, PLEASE look it up. He is amazing. I posted some videos at http://anniesartroom.weebly.com/1/post/2014/03/sneak-peak-preview.html The students LOVED this project and the other grade students were jealous because they didn't also get to do it. Overview:

The forth grade students are doing a Nick Cave project right now that I am super excited about. The students are really getting into it so far as well. If you don't know who the artist Nick Cave is, you're really missing out. Watch these videos! I'll post more information about details of the project once the students have completed, but wanted to show some of the inventive, fun suits that the students are drawing!
The Forth grade students at ECCS are studying the local landscape this trimester. I created a lesson plan that integrates that learning. The students will create tissue paper collages of North Carolina Mountainscapes. I begin teaching this lesson next Tuesday, and will post images of the student's work once they begin the project! Overview: 4th Grade 3-4 days The students will use tissue paper to collage North Carolina Mountain landscapes. NC Essential Standards: 4.V.1.1 Use appropriate art vocabulary to compare artists’ styles. 4.V.1.2 Apply personal choices while creating art. 4.V.1.4 Understand how the Elements of Art are used to develop a composition. 4.V.2.2 Use ideas and imagery from North Carolina as sources for creating art. 4.CX.1.3 Classify NC artists in terms of styles, genre, and/or movements.
