Getting stARTed!

8/21/2018

Getting ready to go back to school has been different for me this year. I am starting my 15th year and this year, more than any other, I feel like I am really ready to get stARTed.

Part of that was the amount of preparation I have put into my classroom. I spent the last month cleaning out my main storage supply closet and organizing materials by type in back closets. Through this process, I had to finally let some things go (some things that have been here longer than the building) and get clearer eyes and what I need for my students.

I am particularly excited for some projects that were funded over the summer by DonorsChoose.org and two projects that are near being funded so that we can have resources we need to dive into new art materials and skills! Both of the projects I currently have posted are collaborative in nature, using new media that I am really excited about!

One of my favorite ways of getting ready for the school year was getting to see new and former students and parents at our open house/orientation. It was great to have our ArtPrize piece out for display during the night and to get people involved with adding their own spin to the work with an activity table in my classroom.

We look forward to getting our work to the Downtown Market for ArtPrize and hope we do well in the Youth Collaboration Award category of the competition. This year, there are 20 schools competing for two $2500 grants.

Ready or not, we will be getting to work with students in no time! I look forward to the work ahead of us and both the struggle and successes that will play out during the year.

Every year I start wondering what surprise will come our way and each year I am amazed with the answer. Good luck to everyone starting out their school year and I am so excited to get going with mine!

Reflecting on the Year

6/17/2018

0 Comments

At the start of the school year, I wrotethis post that gave an overview of why I thought it was going to be a great one. As we finished up just over a week ago, it has been fun to reflect on those predictions and to consider what became of them as we progressed through a school year that was one of the most successful in my 14-year career.

Here is a review of my five factors of a fun year outlined and predicted back in the fall:

1. ArtPrize

One of the best ways we started the school year was being able to see our work from the prior Spring installed at Monroe Community Church for ArtPrize9. Having our school and program represented in such a great venue was an awesome thrill for my students and me. It was great fun to visit the venue during the ArtPrize festivities and even see the work on the news as MCC was selected for the Juror's shortlist of outstanding venues.

This piece now has a home in our library and I am so excited that students will be able to enjoy it for years to come at WMS and remember how they were a part of this great, collaborative, work! Even better is that this work gave us the confidence to do it again, now with our entire k-12 school. We cannot wait for September when that work will go on display at The Downtown Market! Remember to vote 67314.

2. Robots and more

Since 2011, I have applied for and received over $13,000 in resources from DonorsChoose.org. This year accounts for almost half of that with nine projects being funded. Thanks to the generosity of donors and matching funds from a variety of organizations, we were able to bring robotics, 3D printing, hands-on projects, digital equipment, and more to add valuable experiences for my students in the classroom.

Thank you again to everyone who helped bring these resources into my classroom and positively impact student engagement with curriculum and content. I am currently working on getting Scholastic Art Magazines to help build literacy skills through art. If you are interested in helping us out, please visithere to donate.

3. Scholastic Awards

Since 2008, the BCPS Visual Arts program has had 15 students recognized at the National level for the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. To end the school year celebrating student success at the national level again this year was such a great way to reflect on and propel us into the next school year. I know this opportunity is one students will seize again next year because of students that paved the possibility of achieving such honors. I am thankful for everyone who helped make this year possible and am excited to see what next year brings!

4. Collaborative Projects

I love working collaboratively with students and seeing students working collaboratively together. This year was probably the most collaborative year yet. From the first say of school, where students painted rocks to go around our flagpole to the last days of school as we worked on our ArtPrize10 piece, the year was filled with different collaborative works students created.

I have some ideas for next year's collaborative opportunities and am excited to get working on it, especially the works that will be publicly installed!

5. The Unexpected

This year was pretty great. Every year I wonder how it is possible to top the year before. This was a year filled with new opportunities, for both my students and me, to get engaged with art in really interesting ways. Whether it was putting work into new competitions, shows, or connecting with classrooms to make a greater impact, I think this was a really special year and one I will reflect on positively for years to come.

I hope everyone had a great end to their school year and is enjoying a lovely summer. I look forward to taking some time to make art, read books, laugh with friends, and gear up for my 15th start in September!

Week Three

Photoshop Challenge 1

It is amazing to me that in three weeks of seeing this new group of students, they already have three works of art published on Artsonia. For their third work published, students created either a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level work based on a series of choices in Schoology. These series of challenges are designed to help students get a better feel for materials and create works that build skills and understanding in hopes they will be able to select those concepts for their personal works for major thematic units.

It was fun to see students make choices this week as they finished up these works and hear time and again that they enjoyed learning more about how to use Photoshop. Here are some examples of the types of works students created from beginner to more advanced skill-building challenges.

Artist of Interest

Since moving to a thematically driven curriculum, it has been increasingly important to me for students to have as much exposure to a variety of artists using a variety of methods to create their art. I know I cannot possibly cover them all, or even come close, so one of the activities I engage students in is called "Artist of Interest."

In this activity, students are asked to use our digital subscription to Scholastic Art Magazine to access past issues and select an artist they think is interesting and that may inspire their work. Students are asked to describe the work using an element of art and principle of design, give their opinion of the work, as well as what meaning can be found in it as they write their response.

I do this as a discussion board in Schoology so that students can view each others responses and get exposure to dozens of artists that they might not otherwise see in our projects or challenges. This is also a great way to get students to read non-fiction texts, summarize and interpret what they are reading, and use examples and details to help support their ideas.

Here are two great responses from this activity this week:

Tantamounter and 100 objects

This week in my 3D class, students were challenged to create another collaborative. In this team-building activity, students were told they were going to be copy machines and started by shopping the classroom for what they would like to see recreated. After about five minutes of "shopping," students had to exchange their object with another group and then they had about 25 minutes to make a copy using whatever they could find in the classroom.

Many classrooms have done a similar exercise with great success. It was great to see how students worked together to recreate these objects and how close they were able to come to the original using completely different materials. My favorite of the group is probably the spider below. The group's copy was created by a damaged styrofoam head for the body, a Pringles can and pompoms for the head and eyes, metal tubing for the legs, and felt for the striping details. I am still amazed that the groups did what they did in such a short period of time.

3D students also started their 100 object sculptures this week. This is a project that asks students to rethink non-art materials in new and creative ways. After sketching out ideas, students came prepared with a variety of things (Qtips, rocks, toothpicks, colored pencils, and more) to turn into sculptures.

I am excited to see how these come into form over the next week.

Looking Ahead

Because of the nature of the class, some students are actually thinking about their final projects and experimenting with options for it as they are also working on their 100 objects project. For their finals, students are asked to create a project of their choice. I am very excited to see how and what they decide. One student started experimenting with some ideas this week, using the 3Doodler pen that was recently funded through a DonorsChoose.org project. I think it will be really exciting to see how this turns out or changes along the way.

MAEA Region 9 Show

Thursday was the opening reception of the Michigan Art Education Association Region 9 Show at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. It was really fun to see students see their work on display at the museum. It was also great to see the Warhol show.

With 23 works from our k-12 Visual Arts Program on display, it was great to see our Bryon Center Artists celebrated in this way. The works will now move on to the State competition and we will find out the results from that part of the competition in March.

Digital Storytelling Match on DonorsChoose.org

We have had such an awesome amount of success this year getting special resources funded through DonorsChoose.org. I am so thankful to parents, friends, and interested donors for giving to our projects to ensure my students have access to equipment and materials that will push them as creatives in the classroom.

Our newest project is being matched by AT&T because it involves digital storytelling (you can click on this to find out more). We are hoping to get an animation and green screen app as well as stylus's to help students create a variety of digital stories using iPads. We have less than $200 to go thanks to the match.

It is going to be awesome to see how students use these tools to share stories with others and make a variety of animations and film. Maybe we will even be able to enter some into competition soon.

New Semester with New Students

This installation was completed by over 200 students in our school. It encircles a tree that was planted years ago to honor our veterans and is also next to the entrance of our school and flagpole.

Our Art classes run in semesters, which means I get to greet new students after 18 weeks and start over again with them. It is fun to see how this new set of students approach the content already covered by first semester and bring their own experiences to the table to complete various pieces of content and creation.

One of my favorite things about this first week, was getting to finish our installation of painted rocks inspired by the story "The Dot," by Peter H. Reynolds. I have been using this story for at least the last five years with my students to inspire legacy projects in our school. We have made paintings, paper globes, and now these painted rocks as a way to make our own mark on WMS.

Each year I do this, I am usually doing something with my students for the first time and not 100% sure how and if it will turn out. I openly share this with my students and explain that taking creative risks is one of the duties of an artist and it is up to all of us to be courageous in this class with the work we make. I am very pleased with this year's outcome and look forward to seeing what legacy project we come up with for next year.

Here are some thoughts from the students on their work:

Avery: For this project I created a rock that displays an abstract pattern of dots. I decided not to focus on a specific pattern in order to incorporate the Dot story. The Dot story talks about about how all artists work is unique and anyone can create art. My piece, and all the other rocks created in class, are different in order to represent diversity and beauty in art.

Gage: This is like in the story the dot because we started with one dot and we began to do more. Also it represents that anyone can be creative. Finally, it was the first project of the year.

Brady: I made this amazing piece of art because of the book, The Dot. I just made one dot and went on from there. This rock was made from a bunch of random dots and then I made more.

Katie: In this artwork, I started with one big dot--the sun. It popped into my head as soon as we started. This connects to the book because starting with one dot made a bigger thing called art. It connects to real life because we are leaving this artwork behind just like we will have to leave other things behind as in our legacy.

This is a more complete view of the work.

Empty Bowls

For years, I have engaged students with clay on the first day. This semester, I switched around some activities and actually started with paint and waited until our third day together to work with clay.

When I informed one class that we were going to work with clay, it was greeted with a "Woo Hoo!" I know that not all of my students will choose art as a career, but I do hope that they will continue to create and appreciate art as grow up and react with a "Woo Hoo!" during those experiences.

It was fun to see students work with clay in this way and for 7th graders to create bowls for our annual Empty Bowls night. Even better will be once these are fired and we get to glaze them in a variety of colors.

Henna Hands

Something new was tried with my 8th graders for our first clay experience. Instead of making bowls like they did when they were in 7th grade or the leaves like last semester did (because it is January in Michigan and there are no leaves), students created Henna-inspired patterned hands.

Inspired by this post and henna-painted hands, I decided to try this out with student and see how they turned out. For the most part, there has been success so far (only a few repaired fingers along the way). In the future, I would probably have students keep their fingers closer together or use the slab roller in order to avoid some of those issues.

I am excited to see how they finish out and what happens when we apply a glaze treatment to them. This was a great alternative to the leaves and students seemed to really enjoy the process of creating patterns.

Collaboratives

Collaboration is something I am passionate about in my classroom. I feel strongly that success in team format is much more powerful than individually. It takes much more skill and understanding to work with others and find common ground than it does to go it alone.

For the first day of our STEAM class, we brainstormed ideas that show what we value at WMS: Academics, Arts, and Athletics. These symbols were then drawn by students on canvases with WMS on them and a grid. Every time a shape changes on the grid, so does the color (keeping cool colors for the backgrounds and warm for the letters/objects).

We are more than half-way to our end goal with these works (once they are done they will be showcased in the office) and we hope to complete them next week. This is my first time teaching STEAM as a class, so it will be a learning experience for both my students and me this semester!

Can you see the WMS?

Drawing in Space

For our second collaboration in 3D, students had the opportunity to explore the concept of drawing in space by using wire. In teams of two and three, students selected an object and then sketched out the object using contour lines. After, they turned that line drawing into a sculpture using wire.

It was interesting to see that multiple groups selected cameras as their object. Below are some process and final images of particularly successful attempts.

#FirstMillion Funding

On January 25th, our latestDonorsChoose.org project was funded thanks to the matching funds from #FirstMillion, celebrating the first million funded projects on the site. I am so thankful for the additional materials we will now have due to the generosity of others.

If you are interested in helping fund a project, I recommend visiting their site and seeing a variety of opportunities to do just that!

Woo Hoo! Thanks @DonorsChoose #FirstMillion pic.twitter.com/DK8mBl6Wbv

This week was really packed with a lot of amazing things. I am so thankful and excited that I get the opportunity to be a part of all of it.

STEAM Collaborations

The STEM teacher and I decided that simply one more collaboration was not enough for our students, so we did a JAM PACKED week and a half that included three! It was a perfect way to finish our last collaborations as a group and release some creative energy during State Testing.

Here are some of the results:

#1: Mandala Madness

When we plan out our collaborations, we want to make sure students are getting equal parts Art and STEM. This Mandala collaboration really is one of the most perfect blends we have found and offers a chance for everyone to help out.

First students get into groups of four and learn about various ways cultures have used radial design as a strategy to communicate ideas. After we look at some examples of various designs, students fold and cut their own mandala, using the fold lines as their lines of symmetry to transfer the design so it is symmetrical throughout their piece.

After students completed their designs, we went outside to translate them into LARGE replicas with chalk. I happened to be sick on the day we did this, but my students made sure to turn in images of their work. Here are a few:

Students also explored radial symmetry through digital means using Sumopaint and Photoshop.

#2: Piskels to Legos

In the spirit of translating images from one platform to another, students created images using the online program PiskelApp and then recreated them on our Lego Board! This Lego Board and the Lego pieces were purchased through a DonorsChoose project earlier in the year and funding from The Byron Center Fine Arts Boosters.

It was an awesome use of materials and it was fun to see all of the different creatures and creations students came up with to add to the board. This was our first time doing this collaboration and only had about a day to complete it. I think we will do some other really cool things with the Lego board in the future based on this experience.

#3: ArtPrize Youth Collaboration

Inspired by my trip to The Lab School in Washington, D.C. for The Power of Art Conference, I knew I wanted to do a large collaborative with students that would ultimately hang in our library. The new Youth Collaboration Award offered by ArtPrize was just the incentive to get something done by the end of the year and we hope we are able to connect with a venue in order to have it as a part of this year's competition.

The above video walks you through the five day process students went through to create this colorful work. First, students looked at the combines of Robert Rauschenberg and used his application of paint to inform their approach to attaching the canvas by making marks using a variety of tools. I was able to use donated paint from X-rite that was given to us a couple of years ago for this and a variety of paint brushes, sponges, texture tools, yarn, and stamps for applying it to the three 4x8ft foam boards. Even some teachers and our Assistant Principal got in on the action. They were simply encouraged to make marks and attack the surface (I had a great painting teacher in college who would say the same to me).

Then students were shown some images by Caledonia Curry and how she uses printmaking and cut patterns on paper to create collaged and layered works. We used the idea of paper cutting to create a series of portraits of students from our school (some of the images were from photos I had taken for the yearbook and others were from students own images) and various circle patterns. Students worked in pairs for this and it was fun to see the patterns and faces emerge as they cut into the colorful pieces of paper.

Once that was complete, we worked together to arrange the cut outs on top of the painted background until it seemed to look "right." Using Modge Podge and sponge brushes, they were sealed on top of the surface.

The end result is bright and colorful and reflective of the wonderful chaos that is both the end of the year and frequently in my Middle School Art room. I think we are pretty much finished (although we may add in some Sharpie outlines in the background - we are still debating this). We have until June 22nd to connect with a venue so our work can be a part of the ArtPrize Youth Collaboration Award consideration.

If you are interested in hosting this work, please visit the link and request a connection.

This work will be on display in the BCWMS Lobby during our Arts a la Mode/Fine Arts Night on Tuesday May 23rd.

#WIP

Students are working on a new theme this week that deals with the questions: Where are you going? Where have you been? After taking some notes about landscapes and working through sketches, students settled on ideas and began to get to work. It was fun to see students easily dive into this project now that they have one already under their feet.

Help Our Classroom

If you find these posts of mind helpful, I would kindly ask you to help us in a couple of ways - don't worry some are simply a click of the button.

First, we have three student films up for competition in the Meijer Great Choices Film Festival. Unfortunately, I got my dates mixed up and missed the whole first week of voting, so we are VERY behind. Please take a moment and help us catch up by voting daily until the 24th. Videos with the most votes can earn grants for their classrooms. To vote, you will need to login through Facebook and then use the links below to vote by clicking on the vote button.

Here are links to the three videos:

Snacking Nightmare:

Yesterday was exciting for a lot of reasons.

I had a great time at MACUL, learning about various technologies as well as sharing how my students and I utilize various tools in our classroom to leverage our time together into a lasting impact.

I also found out that our project on DonorsChoose was fully funded as a result of a generous donor, Elsa, who gave to all Michigan projects as a way to celebrate the #bestschool day campaign!

The project we had funded had been posted ever since this past Fall when I had returned with a cool scarf I had made during the MAEA conference. My students were so excited about it, they wanted to create a "Think it Up" project on DonorsChoose so we could get the materials and do it at our school as a part of our Fine Arts Night. Even though I had over half of the project funded before the #bestschoolday campaign, we were left with $567 still to fund and only about two weeks left to do it.

That all changed yesterday, thanks to Elsa!

I am so thankful for everyone who helped make this project possible for my students and for DonorsChoose providing a space where I can get new materials to implement projects I learn about when I go to conferences in my classroom with my students.

We are so excited to be able to bring this project to our Fine Arts Night and will be sure to post the pictures as soon as we start testing out the materials!

This is an image taken from the MAEA conference where I had the chance to make my own scarf. I am hoping to bring this to my students once our project is funded on DonorsChoose.

Over the years, I have used DonorsChoose to fund a variety of materials in our classroom. From glazes, to felt, to PD in NYC - DonorsChoose has offered my students and me great opportunities to get our hands on new tools when making art!

We are hoping, with your help, our latest project will also get funded. Wrapped in Art is a student directed project that takes a process I learned from this year's MAEA conference and turns it into a community event.

We are more than half-way funded and any donation is appreciated!

Thank you in advance for helping us wrap up this much anticipated project!

2015 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards

This past Thursday was the 92nd Annual Scholastic Awards celebrating young Artists and Writers from across the country. I had two National Medalists this year and was thrilled that one of them was able to attend the ceremony at Carnegie Hall! I was also able to attend due to funding from DonorsChoose. In addition to the ceremony, which featured special guest speakers Whoopi Goldberg, Chelsea Clinton, Tom Otterness, and David Lipski, we were able to spend a few days in NYC to tour museums and the city! Here is a highlight reel of the awards ceremony:

Anna and I had a chance to pose for one more photo after the celebration at Carnegie Hall!

I was also excited to see both of my students' works on display in the gallery at Parson's. It is still a little mind-boggling to think that I have student work in an NYC gallery that will also be going on a two-year tour. It was SO inspiring to see the work representing the best of the best our country has to offer and I am so excited to bring back the images from the show in hopes of inspiring my students and sparking new ideas!

One of the highlights of the event was seeing student work on display at the Parson's gallery.

This is the first time I have had student work on display in the National Show. They only display the Gold Medalist work and I was so proud to see both Anna and Jordan's pieces in the same space!

Another awesome moment from this trip was our time spent at the MET, Chelsea Market, and the High Line trail. Each offered a different view of the city and I am so thankful I will be able to take the inspiration from this event back to my classroom in hopes we will make it back here again next year with another winner! Thank you again to DonorsChoose and The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for helping make this happen!

Surrounded by Scholastics

Students moved from their sketchbooks and into the Scholastic Art Magazine Archives to research and interpret work cataloged there for their viewing pleasure. I cannot fully express how thankful I am for this resource as a result of the funding from our last DonorsChoose project! It was great to share the online content with students today and watch them search through the archives to find artists that spoke to their interests and then share that with the class via our Artist of the Week Schoology Discussion board. I am so thankful to those who helped make this resource available to my students! Students are also starting to think about The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards and seeing past winners showcased in the magazines is very inspiring to those hoping to achieve winning works this year.

Check out the progress of Emma's Cootie Catcher Dress that she is working on for this year's Scholastic Art Award's competition. I think she has a great chance of achieving recognition in the Fashion Design category. This will be the first time I have ever entered student work in this category during the 8 years of entering this competition!

7th grade students also worked on their Artist of the Week posts using Scholastic Art Magazine. Once done, they completed their knots by turning their designs into a symmetrical image after transferring the first quadrant onto the other three across the horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry. We will use these papers to transfer the image onto a heavier weighted paper and add color starting tomorrow!
