Painting

Description-
The topic for this project was painting. To begin I had to draw two parallel lines, a curve line, for shapes and another line going the opposite direction. Then I had to choose a color to create shades and tints from. I chose the color blue and added black and white to make the different colors. Next, I painted every area different shades. I was required to create four different shades of blue. I also decided to use white in my painting as well. When the paint was dry I went back over my lines with a sharpie. My project didn't turn out as well as I hoped it would. When I had to trace the lines I noticed I didn't do a very good job of painting in the lines. I definitely need more practice painting.

Extension Activity- 
An extension activity for this project could be to have the students research a famous painter. There are a lot of painters that have very interesting projects. They could find an example of their work and explain to the class how the painting shows tints and shades.

                                        Description - The topic of this project was printmaking and this was the lesson I taught. To begin this project the student colored in a circle from the inside out to create the background. Next they drew a design on a small piece of paper. Next they taped their paper to a small Styrofoam piece of paper and began to trace over it. Then they took off the paper and traced over their lines on the Styrofoam again. The students rolled paint over their Styrofoam and placed it on their paper. They rolled the back of the Styrofoam to transfer the paint. When they peeled back the Styrofoam the design was on their paper. They repeated the printing process three more times. Extension Activity-  An extension activity could be having the students share with a partner why they chose the design they did. Then explain to their partner how it shows rad...

Description - We did a scratch art project with a snowy theme. First we drew our project onto a piece of paper. I drew a snowman and some kids sledding in the back to show depth. Then, we traced our drawing onto the scratch art sheet. After that I took the paper off and drew directly onto the scratch art. Extension activity-  An extension activity for this project could be using these sheets to have the students do math problems. It would be a fun and engaging way for them to work on their math skills. It is different so the students would automatically be excited to use it.

Elements and Principles

Elements and Principles I chose this image I took when I was at home after a rain storm. This image represents space because when you look at the picture it seems like you can look far into the distance. The road gets smaller as you look further away. The trees in the distance are also smaller, which helps give the image depth. This picture I took of my grandpa's puppies shows unity because all of the puppies are close to each other and are the same breed, color and size.  This picture I took of the sunset over the lake shows value because there are many different shades of lightness and darkness. Next to the sunset the water is really orange and as it gets closer to the dock its much darker.  This picture I took of the adorable boys I nanny shows emphasis because when looking at this picture your eyes automatically go to the boys looking at the water in their bright shirts. They are also off centered which makes them stand out even more compare...
