Value Painting with Kyle Maurey in Upper School at Maclay



Kyle, Maclay Upper School Art Teacher taught this lesson last year. See link below:
http://2soulsisters.blogspot.com/2016/03/maclays-us-art-with-kyle-maurey-value.html
 The instructions are located on the Painting Project Rubric in the link above.









Again we have a fabulous Upper School Art Teacher at Maclay. I get to see all of the creative projects they do and so do my middle school kids! This lesson is a great way to teach our high school students about Value. It shows many facets of art. 

 Lesson Tip: Find a photo, use filters on phone to see how they look. There are many photography apps out now that allow you to manipulate digital photos.

I was most impressed with this lesson as everyone was successful at creating it. It is nice when you work in an environment and your Visual Arts Team's enthusiasm is contagious to faculty, students and parents. Great job, Kyle and your Upper School students. Cathy, Kaitlyn and I are very lucky to have you on our team.

Here's a Sundae on a Monday!

5th Grade just loved this project and I just love 5th Grade.  They have so many talented kids in the class.  When I teach them new techniques, the really dig it!  I encouraged them to make tints on the ice cream scoops and they really enjoyed the color mixing process.
Directions:
Kids painted their sundae containers with silver paint.  
Kids painted scoops.
Kids used pom poms and pipe cleaners to decorate with glue guns.  We kept the glue guns on the low temperature because they will burn the mess out of you!  I have some glue gun scars to boast.

Have a taste!
Art teachers, don't you just connect with some classes? I do.  The 5th Grade class is just full of personality and fun.  During this week's lesson, I had several students doing more dancing than art.  And, that is okay with me, sometimes.  Music is part of the arts.  It's all good if it ends on a good note.

I played Kung Fu Fighting, the original by Carl Douglas.  The entire class was up singing and dancing to this song that was released in 1974, when I was in 3rd Grade.

Art Club Clay Owls and One R2D2

So, I saw this lesson on Mrs. Knight's Smartest Artists Art Education blog. See link http://dolvinartknight.blogspot.com/2012/11/clay-thumb-owl-sculptures-2nd-grade.html 
She saw it on Artsmudge another Art Education Blog http://www.artsmudge.com/2011/05/clay-thumb-owls/
I love sharing on connecting online with my Professional Learning Network. Even though we basically taught the same lesson all of the owls turned out very unique.
We used white clay. Greenware to bisque was at 04 on slow. Bisque to glaze firing was 06 on fast. We use Stroke N Coat glazes.



Side note, I love creating owls. 1965 and I were both Chi Omegas at the University of Georgia. Chi O symbol is an owl...so yeah, I am partial to this type of lesson with this subject matter ;)
Art Club is a less formal time for kids to create this year in class. We have it 2x a week during 8th period. I have placed several owl videos in the blog for kids to get a feel of just how owls act.

I had to laugh at my 1 R2D2. Directions were to create a clay owl. This guy wasn't feeling an owl, so he busted out some Star Wars. Ok, I can live with that...he turned out pretty cute! I just giggle everytime I think about it ...Happy Friday, 1969

Pop Ice Cream with a Cherry on Top!

Hey!  I snagged this idea from somewhere on Pinterest and changed it up a bit!  I would love to give the creator credit, but I cannot find where I found this pop art ice cream cone.  Awesome idea, person out there in the world.  If you claim this art activity, I will certainly give u a big, bunch of credit.
Directions:
So, I did a little prep work and painted some paper.  I sure am liking painted paper lately.
The first class period, the kids painted the blue background with dots. 
I gave them some yellow paper and they cut out the "POW" thingie.  Then, they outlined the POW thingie with red and put red dots on the POW thingie.
During the second class period, they cut the painted paper and some unpainted paper and made ice cream.
Also, they cut a cone.
They glued it all down.
Then, they came to me for the serious glue so we could glue down the fuzzy pom poms.

Shake Shake Shake....Arts Integration



https://www.edutopia.org/stw-arts-integration-reform-overview



Grades 6-8 | Annapolis, MD

How the Arts Unlock the Door to Learning
Student achievement was down. Teachers were demoralized. Until a bold strategy -- integrating the arts into curricula -- helped students embrace their learning and retain their knowledge. Today the faculty, staff, and students of Maryland's Bates Middle School are crafting a whole new vision of school transformation.

Mariko Nobori
Former Managing Editor and Producer, Edutopia
 What do Mars and modern dance have to do with each other? How do you connect fractions with Andy Warhol? At Wiley H. Bates Middle School, in Annapolis, Maryland, the answer is arts integration. Every teacher there is committed to weaving the arts and standard curricula together to create a richer and more lasting learning experience for their students.

Arts integration goes beyond including art projects in class; it is a teaching strategy that seamlessly merges arts standards with core curricula to build connections and provide engaging context. For example, in a science classroom you might see students choreographing a dance using locomotor and nonlocomotor movements to demonstrate their understanding of rotation versus revolution of the planets (PDF). In a math class, you might see students learning fractions by examining composition in Warhol's Campbell's soup paintings.

(See more arts-integrated lesson plans from Bates.)

What we also saw in these classrooms were students who were enthusiastically participating in the learning process, and having fun. It's not revelatory to say that the arts can engage kids. But that that engagement can also be leveraged to boost academic growth and improve discipline seems like a secret that really needs to be revealed. When you see how the kids embrace these lessons, hear them tell how art helps them remember concepts better, and learn about the improvements teachers have noted in student understanding and retention, it makes you wonder why more schools aren't integrating the arts in every class.

A Whole-School Reform

Bates decided to become a fully arts-integrated school in 2007 as the primary initiative in a whole-school reform effort. Other initiatives in their school improvement plan (PDF) included Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), an operational framework for implementing practices and interventions to improve academic and behavioral outcomes, and Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), a college readiness system with research-based methods for elementary through postsecondary students. Their principal at the time, Diane Bragdon, had brought the school back from the brink of failure and now was ready to aim its trajectory squarely toward greater success. Bragdon got the support of Anne Arundel County Public Schools Superintendent Kevin Maxwell, long a proponent of schools of choice, who knew well the impact arts integration had had in other Maryland schools. The district applied for a four-year grant called Supporting Arts Integrated Learning for Student Success (SAILSS) from the U.S. Department of Education and was one of 15 districts and schools to receive it.

Since they started implementing arts integration schoolwide in 2009, Bates has seen a 23 percent drop in the average number of referrals and suspensions per student. The school’s percentage of students proficient or advanced in math has grown four times more than the state's over the same period, and five times more in reading. Not all lessons are taught with arts integration, but Bates takes pains to diligently track those that have been in a regular log (PDF), and they report substantial improvements in student comprehension and retention.

Why Does Arts Integration Work?

Why does it work? Arts integration uses teaching practices that have been shown in brain-based research to improve comprehension and long-term retention. For example, when students create stories, pictures, or other nonverbal expressions of the content they are learning -- a process researchers call elaboration -- they are also helping to better embed the information. In one eighth-grade math class, students prepared for a test on linear equations by creating photo stories of the steps involved. This required that teacher Laura Casciato spend nearly a full class period teaching about basic principles of design (PDF). She explained the trade-off: "It was an easy decision to spend time on the art because we know that they retain that information better. They're going to look at that test and say, 'Oh yeah, I remember that information from my photo.'"

As with any new initiative, there are a number of factors that must be in place for it to succeed. With arts integration, high-quality professional development is essential. Teachers don't need to be "artistic" to be able to use arts integration; they just need to learn some of the fundamentals so they will be better able to think of ways to merge art concepts with other content. For example, knowing the basic elements of design, such as emphasis, balance, contrast, and repetition, enabled Casciato to teach her students how to create more informative photo compositions to illustrate each step in solving a linear equation (PDF).

(Read tips for administrators and teachers for getting started with arts integration.)

Bates used the bulk of their grant money for professional development, which they started in the 2007-08 school year. They have PD Thursdays every other week, and at least one per month is on arts integration. Last year (2011-12) was the final year of their grant funding. Teachers report they are now well versed in arts standards and know how to create arts-integrated lessons. Many now train their colleagues and new teachers entering the school.

Beyond engagement and retention, adults and students at Bates cite numerous other benefits of arts integration: It encourages healthy risk taking, helps kids recognize new skills in themselves and others, provides a way to differentiate instruction, builds collaboration among both students and teachers, bridges differences, and draws in parents and the community. Plus it's just plain fun.
Lastly, there's equity. If we agree that the arts can provide all kinds of benefits for kids, from intellectual to creative to social-emotional, then shouldn't all kids have the opportunity to learn about and experience them? But far too few schools have either the funding or the bureaucratic support to make this a priority, a lack often born out of fear of sacrificing academic achievement. What Bates and many other arts-integrated schools across the country are showing is that by creating a richer, more memorable learning experience through the arts, they unleash not only a rising tide of academic achievement but they lay the foundation for what it means to be a truly creative community.

Benefits of Arts Integration:
posted by: Melissa | January 18, 2013, 07:54 PM   

Even as arts programs are increasingly falling under the axe of limited school budgets, teachers are increasingly integrating arts into the core subject areas.  The concept behind arts integration is nothing new. Teachers have been having students build models, perform plays, sing songs, and complete other various arts activities for years.  Now there is a growing body of evidence to support those practices.

Integrating the arts into a class not only has the easily observed and undisputed benefit of increasing student engagement and motivation, but it’s also been shown to increase student achievement.  Students who participate in drama activities in their language arts class increase their written language ability, and an English language learners’ abilities are also increased when the arts are integrated into their instruction.  In fact, a curriculum rich in arts integrated activities has been linked to across the board achievement and retention increases.  These achievements have been shown to benefit the student even after they leave a classroom utilizing arts integration.

Research suggests that the link to increased retention is due to the fact that each time a student uses information in a new and different way, they embed the information slightly more into their brain.  The Common Core’s focus on learning content deeper instead of increasing content seems to easily mesh with this idea and offer ample opportunity for integrating the arts into the classroom.

While ASCD offers a quick intro on including arts in your lesson, there are plenty of other resources out there as well.

Great article on why we should collaborate. A few schools are taking the research to heart, weaving the arts into everything they do and finding that the approach not only boosts academic achievement but also promotes creativity, self-confidence and school pride. Article is a must read when you have a moment.

Rain Shakers


Who invented maracas? 

According to About.com, experts believe maracas were invented by the Tainos who were the native Indians of Puerto Rico during the 16th and 17th centuries. The original maracas were made from fruit and had a round shape. Maracas are considered one of the easiest instruments to play because they make sounds by shaking. About.com notes that the first maracas made sound by replacing the pulp found in the fruit with tiny pebbles. A pair of maracas will sound different because each one will have a different amount of pebbles within them. Modern maracas are now made from plastic and are very popular in Latin America.
https://www.reference.com/history/invented-maracas-52372674376ae1e#
We have blogged on these before this year. Clcik link below:
http://2soulsisters.blogspot.com/2016/09/paper-mache-maracas-hispanic-heritage.html
Details  and more on the link above to give you an idea of how you can tweak this lesson just for you and your situation.

What are maracas?

Maracas, sometimes referred to as rumba shakers, are percussion instruments traditionally made out of a hollow gourd and filled with pebbles, beans, seeds, beads or other, similar, objects.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word originates in the Portuguese language, and the first known use of the maraca was in 1598. They are typically oval or egg-shaped and have an attached handle. Modern maracas can be constructed of materials like wood, leather and plastic. However, the most authentic and valuable ones are still made from gourds or dried seed pods. In some cultures, such as the American Southwest and the African Congo, maracas are made of turtle shells and baskets. They are almost always played in pairs and shaken like a rattle. They belong to the group of instruments identified as idiophones, primarily because they are solid and sealed. However, they differ from other idiophones, such as castanets and cymbals, in that they are shaken rather than struck with an object or clanged together. Maracas are an integral part of musicality in many regions, including the South Pacific, Africa, the Caribbean and South America. Latin American music is renowned for the use of maracas, bringing them into mainstream pop culture.




Tempera paint and colors of choice.
We use a hair dryer in between the colors changes to help with drying.

I store units in plastic bins. this is for easy grabbing when teaching certain units each wheel session.
I try to keep it all in the box to help each lesson run smoothly.
I used plastic beads and dried beans for the shakers.
Do you have a hair dryer in your room? If not, you might want to ask for one for a donation.
 
 Paper mache is a good way to introduce this 3d unit.
They are super fun to make!
Videos below give you other ways to make paper mache. I like the plaster wrap for a classroom setting. It is more efficient and effective.
