art lesson may 4-8
This week we will be creating "Mural Art to Make People Smile"
Start by watching this YouTube video reading of our classroom book, Maybe Something Beautiful written by F. Isabel Campoy and Theresa Howell, illustrated by Rafael Lopez. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL5TzKaDXzA
In the book, "Maybe Something Beautiful" Mira meets a man with an art job. What does he do? Yes, he’s a muralist. A muralist is an artist who designs, paints and/or creates large paintings on walls and ceilings. Some cities hire muralists to paint on public buildings or structures.
Have you ever seen murals around your area before?
Here are some examples from towns in our area:

Have you ever seen murals around your area before?
Here are some examples from towns in our area:
After looking at these examples, use your best drawing/painting/coloring skills to:
1) Create an artwork for someone that will put a smile on their face. Think about what they like and put that in your artwork.
2) Take a photo of your artwork and text or email it to the person you made it for. You could also mail them the artwork or photo with a letter. 3) How could you turn your artwork into a mural? Where would you paint your mural? Why?
Feeling inspired?
Create an artwork for your neighborhood! You can make a sidewalk chalk mural, create art from nature, or make and artwork and hang it in a window. Always ask for help from adults when you use art materials!

Art lesson april 27-may 1
Art Zoom meeting with Mrs. Stevens will be Tuesday, April 28th from 11-11:30 am! The link is on your teacher's classroom blog :) I hope to see you there! For those of you who can't make it, we will be making leaf rubbings. The directions to make your own leaf rubbings are below:
Supplies:
Directions:
1. Put a leaf upside down on the table.
2. Place a piece of paper over the leaf.
3. While holding the paper and leaf in place, use the side of a crayon to rub across the leaf.
4. Make sure that you color over the entire leaf. Rubbing firmly all over the leaf will show the veins and the outline of the leaf
5. A dark crayon will produce a clearer print of the leaf.
6. Do another leaf with different color crayon OR trying mixing two colors to see what happens :)
Be creative.
Example of what our leaf rubbings will look like:
Supplies:
- Different sizes and shapes of tree leaves
- paper
- crayons without the wrapper on them
Directions:
1. Put a leaf upside down on the table.
2. Place a piece of paper over the leaf.

Art lesson april 20-24
Did you know that Andy Warhol ate the same thing for lunch every day: a can of tomato soup?
He said, “I used to have the same lunch every day, for twenty years, I guess, the same thing over and over again.”
Andy Warhol would make artwork of the cans of soup because he knew other people would recognize the packaging.
Today, make a drawing of what you like to eat for lunch. How will you represent, or show, your meal?
Add in bright colors that will make your art “pop”.
First, watch this video to learn about Pop Art: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhEyoDCTSDQ
Then, share what you learned about Pop Art with 3 family members :)
Next, Read the picture book “Uncle Andy” about Andy Warhol: www.youtube.com/watch?v=38GvgFYsAcw
Then, share with a family member 3 interesting facts you learned about the artist, Andy Warhol.
Ready to get creative?
Use the artwork below by Andy Warhol to create your Andy Warhol- inspired Pop Art meal! You can simply draw your meal on any paper you have on hand and use any art material you have available to add color!
Share your artwork by posting a picture of it on the Share Your Art page of this blog!
