<span style="text-align: justify;">This cat project demonstrated our understanding of how to use the elements of art in an effective way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Students used a variety of materials (pencils, color pencils, colorful sharpies, brushes, and water colors)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
in order to exhibit a variety of lines, shapes, colors, textures, and patterns. Students were advised to include at least two elements in their compositions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We also had a discussion on how science has elements such as hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen; Literature has settings, characters, and plots; and music has elements such as rhythm, melody, harmony, and tempo. </div>

The Contemporary Art Museum in Raleigh is presently holding an exhibition of artworks by Ryan Travis Christian, entitled " <i><b>Well, Here We Aren't Again.</b></i>" Christian is a Chicago-area artist who enjoys working with graphite and ink. In his work you can view abstract elements, comic characters, and cartoon iconography.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The students viewed his work and loved his use of graphite and ink, as well his use of cartoons. We decided to create our own compositions using black sharpies. Students created stencils of their favorite cartoon character and found a way to incorporate the image in their design. We were also free to incorporate our favorite images from Christian's work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This project gave us the opportunity to review the concept of Line. We discussed how a straight line tends to make our eyes run along its length. In analyzing Christian's design, we saw how horizontal lines tend to be calmer and vertical lines tend to be more bouncy and alive. In Christian's Xs, diagonal lines can move in and out of the picture plane more than horizontal or vertical ones. In Christian's work we saw how lines can be real or implied, thin or thick, straight or jagged. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this lesson we looked at the work of Georgia O'Keeffe. We discussed how she created large paintings of flowers, as if she wanted the viewer to see their beauty through a magnifying lens. She said: "I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty." The students looked at pictures of her work and they were amazed with the beauty of colors and lines. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She also said: "When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We used water colors in order to create our large-scale flowers. Students were encouraged to use a variety of brushes and colors. </div>

The purpose of this project was for the Kindergarten students to make a portrait of their friend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We discussed how a portrait is a drawing, painting, photograph or sculpture of a person.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We looked at Kasimir Malevich's self portrait and discussed his choice of colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also look at Karl Schmidt-Rottluff's <i>Portrait of Emy</i>.<b> </b>We discussed how with the use of vibrant colors the artist expressed his feelings about Emy. Color becomes an important aspect in the composition. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Students sat across from each other, observing the details in each other's faces. They were also advised to illustrate in their portrait at least one thing they like about their friend.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">The inspiration for this project is based on the work of the British sculptor Alistair McClymont. His work is now exhibited at </span><a href="http://camraleigh.org/exhibitions/2013mcclymont/" style="text-align: left;">Contemporary Art Museum (CAM)<i> Everything we are capable of seeing</i></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We looked at his work and were impressed how the artist uses a variety of machines to create natural phenomena. McClymont demonstrates the close connection of art and science. His artistic process is unique as he is using machines to create "tornadoes," night-time rainbows, and suspended raindrops in mid-air.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
He writes: "My artwork is a continuing process of discovery and experimentation. Each piece follows the last in a continual journey of investigation into cultural and physical phenomena. The work is underlined by a search for what it is to be human. This might be our position in time and space on a grand scale, or singular observations on subjects that fascinate me. Each piece takes a small subject and breaks it down into something understandable and perhaps beautiful."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For our interpretation of the raindrop we decided to create a frozen one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We filled small balloons with water and a drop or two of liquid color and placed the balloons in the freezer overnight. The next day we cut off the latex, and <i>voila</i>! We have created colorful frozen water drops. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In continuing our exploration of the work of Andy Goldsworthy, the students created projects illustrating the ephemeral quality found in some of his work. The artist often used brightly colored flowers, petals, leaves, pine cones, stones, twigs and mud. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The students collected a variety of material and created compositions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
emphasizing the beauty found in nature. The artist explains why he takes photographs of his projects. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
He writes: "My approach to photograph is kept simple, almost routine. All work good and bad, is documented. I use standard film, a standard lens and no filters. Each work grows, strays, decays- integral parts of a cycle which the photograph shows its height, marking the moment when the work is most alive. There is an intensity about a work at its peak that I hope is expresses in the image. Process and decay are implicit." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In following the example of Andy Goldsworth, the students took pictures of their work and gathered all the material from nature in containers for future projects. </div>

<b><i><span style="color: #cc0000;">We dedicate this post to those who lost their lives and those who are affected by the recent events in Newtown, Connecticut. Our prayers are with them.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The inspiration for this project came from looking and examining the <b>"Land Art"</b> by <b>Andy Goldsworthy</b>. His art was influenced by the American movement of the 1960s. Goldsworthy was aware of Robert Smithson's <u><b>Spiral Jelly</b></u> in the Great Salt Lake of Utah and Michael Heizer's <u><b>Double Negative</b></u> in Nevada. Goldsworthy's art, however, has an ephemeral character. His works don't last long, and this is the central focus in his art.<br />
<br />
We are fortunate that our school is surrounded by beautiful trees. Our nature trail often becomes a site where ideas for projects are born. After learning how nature plays a big part in Goldsworthy's art, we decided to take a walk in our "little forest," and see if we could get an idea for a project by just collecting dead branches. Every student collected dead branches in zip lock bags. One of the students had an idea of using the branches to create trees. We all loved the tree idea and proceeded in creating our Goldsworthy trees.<br />

We decided to make elf feet again since our students had fun with this project last year.<br />
Click <a href="http://explorationinart.blogspot.com/2011/12/g2-elf-feet-in-action.html">here</a> to see the project from last year.<br />
We used poster board paper and a variety of water colors.<br />
Some students enhanced their compositions with a touch of golden paint.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
The inspiration for this project came from viewing the works of nine women artists who explore the use of language in their work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their work is featured in the exhibition </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
We examined the way the artists explored the ambiguity of language in their work.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The students decided to create their 'word collages' based on the work of the artist <b>Kay Rosen.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This project had six steps:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1.The students looked for words in a variety of books, newspapers, and periodicals. <b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. From the variety of words, we each decided to use only one word.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. We created new words out of a singular word by rearranging or adding letters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. We used black sharpies to write our new words on water color paper. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. We used water colors to paint over the letters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. We cut the letters and created our word collages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During the art process, the students were able to discuss word choice and creation of new words with their fellow artists.</div>

<br />
Weaving is an art activity that most students enjoy. I prepared the paper and cardboard looms with larger openings for the Kindergarten class. Students had a choice from a variety of yarn. We discussed how you can create patterns by using regular or textured yarn.<br />
<br />
By using our fingers to weave in and out, over and under, around and through, we learned to coordinate our eyes, hands, and minds. Some students made changes in the middle of the weaving because they were not happy with the results. Problem solving came into play when they were trying to decide on which yarn type to use and how, by using a different hand motion, they could create a different pattern.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We devoted three sessions studying the work of famous artists.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The book <b>Vincent van Gogh's Cat</b> was used as an inspiration for this mini art history lesson.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This book was illustrated by the Second Grade Students of East Washington Academy in Muncie, Indiana.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The adventurous cat in the book is exploring the paintings of famous artists as he travels from one famous painting to another.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The students chose their favorite work from the book and did a mini research on the artist. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The chosen works were: <b>"Four Cut Sunflowers" </b>1887; Vincent van Gogh. <b>"Waterlilies"</b> 1908; Claude Monet.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>"Exotic Landscape"</b> 1908; Henri Rousseau. <b>"Hermitage"</b> 1918; Paul Klee. <b>"Tree of Life" </b>1905-1909; Gustav Klimt. <b>"Woman in Front of the Sun"</b> 1950; Joan Miro. <b>"Green Dancer"</b> 1880; Edgar Degas. <b>"Three Musicians"</b> 1921; Pablo Picasso. <b>"The starry Night</b>" 1889; Vincent van Gogh.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We made copies of the chosen works, and every student had the opportunity to discuss the different elements found in the work. We looked for details, discussed colors, inspiration, and brushstroke. We looked for similarities and differences among the different artworks. We finally discussed what elements contributed to the "mood" of each artwork. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Each student created a template for her/his cat.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We used black sharpies, markers, oil pastels and water colors.</div>

<br />
Last year I introduced our Kindergarten students to the work of the Japanese artist <b>Yayoi Kusama.</b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please click <a href="http://explorationinart.blogspot.com/2012/03/kg-exploring-work-of-yayoi-kusama.html">Here</a> to view the post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The students loved her colorful work with polka dots, and this year I decided we should have more fun creating pumpkins based on her style. Both grades (KG, and G1) viewed <b>Yayoi Kusama's</b> work, concentrating on her colorful pumpkins. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some Kindergarten students used finger painting to create the dots, while others choose to use brushes. It was interesting to watch the students trying to hold the brush completely vertical in an effort to create the "perfect" dot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first graders decided to use pencils and colorful sharpies for the drawing part or the project and water colors for the background. </div>

We explored symmetry and balance in art by observing the patterns in butterflies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After examining how the balance and symmetry was achieved, the students worked in creating their own symmetrical butterflies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The project had four steps. Step one: We used pencils to draw our butterflies. Step two: We made an effort to draw the same images in both sides. Step three: We use black sharpies over our pencil lines. Step four: We used markers and water colors to complete our composition.</div>

<br />
In continuing our exploration of lines, we created compositions using paint, paper, plastiline, and floral wire.<br />
The students were given the choice to create a Two- or a Three-Dimensional work. We observed how we can control the thickness of the lines by using a variety of brushes (thicker or thinner tips). The creation of lines was different when we used plastiline, as it took longer to create the desired lines. The students who decided to use floral wire were challenged with bending the wire in different directions to accomplish a variety of lines. <br />

<br />
For this lesson we looked at the work of Doyle Trenton Hancock and how he uses lines to create strong visual compositions. As one of the students stated: "The lines are having a party." We played the "line detective" game, and we were successful in finding organic energetic lines, actual and implied lines, thick, dark, and rigid lines as well as delicate lines trying to convey a message. We discussed how, sometimes, artists use lines to direct our eyes to the focal point of the composition. We observed how some of the lines in his work suggest forms that can be recognized and examined how some of of his lines were combined with others to create textures and patterns. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
For this part of wood exploration, the students used a variety of wood scraps in order to create a colorful composition.<br />
The students also had the opportunity to explore the art of pyrography. We learned that pyrography can be translated as "writing with heat". We looked at pictures of the variety of pokers that artists use, and discussed how different temperature is applied to the heated area of wood in order to create dark lines and shading.<br />
The students did a great job creating designs using the burner pen, and some of them even managed to write their name.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Creating designs on a wooden surface was challenging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The wood is not as smooth as a piece of paper and often absorbs paint faster. </div>

The pyrography experiment is placed in the middle of the composition.</div>

Learning how to hold the burner pen correctly was essential for this project.<br />
We went over the safety procedures in detail.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this project the students used a variety of wood strips to create a 3-Dimensional art work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The students had a choice to create an objective or a non-objective piece of work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was interesting to watch the students as they were trying to decide on what wood pieces they needed to use in order to build their wood composition. </div>

For this project the students were free to choose from our two art treasure boxes.<br />
The first group decided to create architectural compositions by using long wooden sticks and paper plates.<br />
The second group decided to use paper and acrylics to create flowers with interesting colorful patterns.<br />

This week in art camp the students were divided into two groups. The first group created collage compositions using paper and aluminum foil scraps. The second group learned how to reshape old vinyl records and turned them into bowls. We learned that recycling is like resurrecting an old item and giving it a new life.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
For the reshaping of the records, we used the oven in our school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We placed the vinyl record on a metallic bowl and watched the melting and shaping process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since students were not allowed in the kitchen area, each student watched the process</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
through the open door. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The students used acrylics to paint the reshaped records.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a great discussion on how there was a time when every household had a collection of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these whopping 12-inch vinyl discs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This week in art camp we created some interesting wearable art projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The students were divided into four groups. The fist group decided to create Tie-Dye shirts. The second group had fun decorating baseball hats. The third group created some interesting tote bags. The fourth group worked on drawing and painting with fabric paint to decorate their T-shirts.</div>

We had fun folding and tying the shirts with rubber bans and string.</div>

One of the things I like about Summer Art Club is that it gives the opportunity to the students to improvise while discovering the unlimited possibilities of art.<br />
For this summer adventure the students had to use water colors, to create abstract colorful compositions.<br />
