Assignment 1: Paul Klee Inspired Art

You will need a sheet of paper. If you have some newspaper or a piece of mail that is black type on white- that would add another layer of interest and dimension to your work. You can see he liked lines but you are welcome to also choose a shape and repeat that. Lines would be easier to make a lot of especially if you have a ruler! Prepare your paper!!!!!

Now…color- your choice. You can use all the colors of the rainbow or pick your favorite, or use related colors…. Artist (YOU) choice! This can be crayons, colored pencils, markers, paint…..

He liked lines, here he uses them in triangles and circles to create a “city”.

Make sure you send me a picture of your work that includes your first and last name and the name of your teacher! zecharj@dearbornschools.org

Assignment 2: TRICKY PAPER BALL (but the video says easy……)

It’s tricky, not easy but it IS POSSIBLE!

I had to watch several times but it was SO satisfying when I finished!!! You will need: a glue stick, 6 paper clips, clothespins, bobby pins or something that can hold papers together while you work, 6 strips of paper that are just under a half inch wide by 8 inches long. Between a quarter and a half inch, or 1 cm if you have the means to measure that. You will also need PATIENCE> I started, got frustrate, left it and came back.. I watched the video, stopped it, then moved on. I used paper clips to hold my strips together. It works, persistence paid off. Stick with it! Send me a photo of how it turned out! Don’t worry, this is more an exercise in hanging in there as much as creating- be honest and show me what it looks like!

Send the photo, with your first and last name and the name of your teacher. zecharj@dearbornschools.org

Well, that is all she wrote- and 5th grade art is over!!! You have until next Friday, June 5, to submit these and any art assignments you want me to look at for PARTICIPATION credit for art.

What is Pointillism: Assignment 1

Pointillism is an art style using small patterns of colored dots to create an image. The technique was developed by artists Georges Seurat and Paul Signac in 1886 as their art was inspired by the impressionism movement.

George s Seurat painted this picture and it is one of the most easily recognizable examples of pointillism. The title is “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” and it was painted in 1884!!!

Let’s try it- you will need a sheet of paper, a simple shape or image to color in- nothing too hard to start with! You can always go back after you see how it works and draw a picture that is more involved to color in pointillist style- but let’s stay simple to start. You need color- markers are the easiest but you can use paint with a brush or Q-tip, crayons, even colored pencils.

Simply touch the paper with the tip of the marker to make a small dot. Dots don’t need to be perfect nor spaced specifically, just make dots. To create color blends, add different colors of dots in the same area. If you want create shading, start with lighter colors and layer with darker colors.

Well, how did it go? Send me a picture of your work so I can give you credit. Include your first and last name and the name of your teacher and send it to my email: zecharj@dearbornschools.org

Color Squares: Assignment 2

An apple done in fall colors ……

Pick the apple or the pear and color it in using YOUR favorite colors! You could draw your own picture on graph paper to color in, but since this is the second assignment and BOTH are due on Friday, June 5, you might want to color one of these. When coloring you can use any medium you have- crayons, ,markers, colored pencils, paint…….it could even be done with cut paper but that might take too much time. You could get creative with the coloring and make patterns or blend colors- it all depends on how much time you have!

When you have it completed, send me a photo with your first and last name and the name of your teacher so I can give you credit. Send it to my email: zecharj@dearbornschools.org

These are the LAST two art assignments this year!!! They are both due by Friday, June 5 so that I can get grades done and entered in the computer for the June 8 deadline. Please make sure you send pictures so you get credit for your participation in art since we have been away from school.

As always, make sure all of your schoolwork is getting done, enjoy some fresh air, help out around the house and Be Kind!

FIRST GRADE: WACKY BIRD (Assignment 1)

Using the ideas sheet and any materials you want to use- crayons, markers, paint, chalk, cut paper, wrapping paper, sticks, brown paper from a bag, yarn, toothpicks…… pick ONE idea from each category and create the WACKIEST Bird possible!

Make sure your bird has one from each category- a body, a set of eyes, a beak/mouth, feet/legs, a tail, wings and some type of addition to the top of its head!!

You can use any materials you have on hand. Make them fun, make them something you would want if it was possible AND make them so cool that we would ALL want to buy a pair!

When you think they are the very best they can be and that they would sell out fast, send me a picture that includes your first and last name and the name of your teacher. Send it to my email: zecharj@dearbornschools.org

These are the last two assignments for this school year!!! Make sure you do your best and send them to me so I can give you credit and mark your report card that you have participated in art while we we away from school!!

SECOND GRADE: FOLDED CATS (Assignment 1)

Today you will get your LAST two art assignments! They are both due by the end of the day, Friday, June 5. That means you have 11 days to do these and any work you need to finish to end the year.

Here are two ways that you can make a cat- you can print a template OR you can draw a long rectangle and add a head on top before you cut it out. The examples shown will help. The arms are built in, you just have to cut the line so that you can manipulate them! That means you can roll them, fold them, curve them, bend them….. You need another thin rectangle that can be added as a tail. You can fold, bend, zig zag, however you would like to add character to your cat. BEFORE you cut the cat and tail out- you need to design it! Use crayons, markers, paint- whatever. How about making them the most colorful cats ever? Not cat colored at all, maybe cosmic, or patterned or galaxy like, or flowered, or ….????? You will need a base to glue it on to- a rectangle or oval of paper will work. Design that, too! If you had a cosmic cat it might be on the Milky Way, or a patterned cat could be on a patterned rug, or a flowered cat could be in a flower bed….BE CREATIVE! Tie the design you used on the cat to the base so it looks like it all goes together.

When your cat is the BEST possible example of a WILD cat, send me a photo with your first and last name and the name of your teacher. Send it to my email: zecharj@dearbornschools.org

Piet Mondrian : Piet Mondrian is a Dutch artist best known for his abstract paintings. Art that is abstract does not show things that are recognizable such as people, objects or landscapes. Instead artists use colors, shapes and textures to achieve their effect. He chose to work with the primary colors- red, blue and yellow AND black and grey only!

A typical example of his work…..

Watch the video, it shows how his style developed over the years of his career.

Start off by drawing a simplified outline of an animal of your choice. Do not include any details within the body other than a simple eye. Then, using a ruler, draw horizontal and vertical parallel lines within the animal body. Remember- parallel lines are ones that are the same distance from each other- they don’t cross! You will use vertical AND horizontal lines which will cross.

A pencil drawn example….

After you have drawn the animal with the horizontal and vertical lines, it is time to add color! ONLY black, red, blue, yellow and gray AND the white from the paper. You do not need to fill in every shape that you made- this adds to the abstract nature of the color!

The giraffe done in Mondrian style!

Your turn! Please send me a photo of your Mondrian Art! Make sure you include your first and last name and the name of your teacher!!! zecharj@dearbornschools.org

Next week on Thursday you will get TWO assignments- the last of they year and you will have until Friday, June 5th, to do them and send them to me. More on that to come!
