To begin, I read excerpts from Owl Moon by Jane Yolen, which tells the story of a girl who goes owl sighting with her father on a cold winter's night to see her first owl. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img height="200" id="il_fi" src="http://imperialbeachkids.webs.com/book%20owl.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="153" /></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">As we enter a time of more nighttime, owls are more likely to be spotted since they hunt at night since most are nocturnal. We learned about different features of owls that make them unique including their <strong><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">huge, staring eyes</span></strong> and their little ears that provide them with their keen hearing. The children also agreed that while they're cute, owls can be quite scary, especially since they have the ability to fly almost silently. We talked about how their soft flight feathers muffle the sound of their wings making them excellent nighttime hunters. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This project was completed in one hour and used the following materials:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">18"x12" <span style="color: #20124d;"><strong>Dark Blue Construction Paper</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Oil Pastels-white, yellow, and black</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Scraps of owl colors-brown, gray, white, black, orange, yellow</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Precut circles in various sizes for the eyes (older students can cut their own!)<br />
White glue</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Scissors</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>1.</strong></span> To begin students learned how suprisingly simple it was to draw an owl. With <strong>black pastel</strong> start with two large circles for the eyes, add a triangle beak, then a head with little pointy ears. Next add a large "U" for the body, and then legs and talons (the students loved this word!). The wings can be drawn spread out in flight or perched. A branch could be added if the students wanted to.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">2.</span></strong> White and yellow oil pastels were used to add stars, a moon, and/or clouds to the dark blue sky.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">3.</span></strong> Owl colored paper scraps were torn to make up the feathers of the owl. <strong>We did the body and head the same color first, then the wings a different color</strong> (this helps them stand out). Glue was added to the areas in sections and the feathers were added to cover all the blue paper.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">4.</span></strong> Next students selected 3 different sized circles for the eyes (some chose to cut their own out). These were layed with the smallest on the top and largest on the bottom. <strong>The eyes are the most important part of the owl so they have to stand out!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>5.</strong></span> Beaks and legs were either cut or torn and then glued on. The branch was also covered in torn paper at this time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The students had a blast creating these very special owls and were proud to show them to their parents!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This project took two 1 hour classes and used the following materials:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">White Tag Board 12"x18"</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Blue Construction Paper 12"x18"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Tempera Paint-<strong><span style="color: #990000;">red</span>, <span style="color: #e69138;">orange,</span><span style="color: #f1c232;"> yellow</span>, <span style="color: #a64d79;">pink</span>, <span style="color: #b45f06;">metallic gold</span></strong> (warm colors)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Paint Shaper Combs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sequins</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Green Construction Scraps</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Warm Construction paper 9"x12"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Oil Pastels (warm colors and black)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Scissors, Glue, Paintbrushes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On the first day students began by dividing their tag board into thirds while the paper is in the horizontal position (this just has to be approximate). Next warm colored tempera paint, various paint shaper combs, brushes, and sponges were provided. Students painted the first section mostly red (they could add orange or gold), the second orange, and the third seciton yellow. We emphasize trying to create unique textures in each section of these painted papers. These were set aside to dry for the next class.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Next students chose a piece of warm colored construction paper and drew a vase form of their choice. Students were to make sure their vase was large and took up most of the paper. These were cut out and then oil pastels in warm hues were used to add a simple geometric or line pattern. These were glued to the bottom portion of the blue construction paper (the blue is in vertical /portait position)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The next class students began making Mexican Marigolds--they had a blast and learned some great new cutting skills. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">First the painted paper was cut into 3 parts, one of each color. Then each color was cut in half to get 6 squares total, two of each color. I showed them how to "round out the corners" to create a circle. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> From there students were free to cut, shape, and tear their circles to create petals. They could cut notches, fringe, rounded petals, spikes...Whatever they wanted. The goal was to create 3 separate flowers, each with at least 3 colors and layers. Smaller circles were cut for the centers and extra layers of the fluffy marigolds. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Tacky glue was used to add shiny sequins to the centers to jazz these amazing flowers up (Not that they needed it!)</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrjYJe2FBuZiwkNBrtiApND2ASPIJ3Da_13s4N2Kfn8xO-ckdoJvoqBNliOewOp-ZNQzgh9qz_Q2paP7SD9jEuiAwKhFqgUaWB0kRyv_jlbB-_B-mQtos_U4xnS6Z9JvZtl_dCdNWp3Kmw/s1600/10.12.10+125.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="279" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrjYJe2FBuZiwkNBrtiApND2ASPIJ3Da_13s4N2Kfn8xO-ckdoJvoqBNliOewOp-ZNQzgh9qz_Q2paP7SD9jEuiAwKhFqgUaWB0kRyv_jlbB-_B-mQtos_U4xnS6Z9JvZtl_dCdNWp3Kmw/s320/10.12.10+125.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The last step was to use various shades of green construction to create a stem and leaves for each flower. The flowers, stems and leaves were all glued onto the blue construction so they filled the vase. <br />

This would be a great project to do with painted papers, but we chose to stick to acrylics on canvas boards to save time. Before starting, children were asked "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be," which is the main thematic line of this story. They sketched their tree designs and began painting with acrylics. After these paintings dried, metallic paint markers and shiney paper collaging was used to add a whimsical touch. Enjoy our fantastic trees.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Rather than drawing and painting a traditional 3 ball snowman, we took on the challenge of painting closeup snowman in a profile view. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"> First:</span></strong> The snowman was drawn with black oil pastels making sure it was cropped of either side of the blue paper. Eyes, Nose, Mouth, Buttons, and Arms came next. Students designed their own hats and scarves to add to their snowmen. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><strong>Second:</strong></span> Use temperas to paint everything on the snowman that wasn't white (hats, eyes, scarves....Carrots!) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">Third:</span> Next white painted was added to the snowman. Now it's time to let it snow by painting fluffy snowflakes. </span><br />
<br />

We looked at several reproductions of Asian landscapes and noted how they were simplified in terms of detail and colors. These landscapes instead captured a mood and the emphasis was on expressive brushstrokes. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We used Sumi-e rice paper to carefully sketch our landscapes. I discussed how this paper is very delicate and required quick brushstrokes. If you try to work an area to much when painting, the paper will dissolve and you'll be left with a hole! After painting our landscapes with watercolors, we added Chinese symbols that described the mood of our paintings with black India Ink. To sign our work, we made a small square stamp out of foam printing plates and used red ink.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

After sketching our landscape designs we began</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Step 1: Students started with a ball of wedged air dry clay and made a slab by flipping it over and flattening several times. After the clay was about 1 inch thick, the clay was cut into a specific shape (square, circle, star). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Step 2: Clay tools were used to add relief--high and low areas--in the plaque. Tools were also used to add different textures in the designs. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Step 3: Two holes were punched in the top of the plaque to allow it to hang. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Step 4: After allowing to dry completely, plaques were painted using vibrant acrylic paints. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Step 5: Wire and glass beads were threaded through the top holes so the plaque could be displayed.</span><br />

In this Caldecott Medal Winning storybook, a little house lives happily in the country. Personification is used to express how the seasons come and go, delighting the little house. One day a road and houses are built in the little house's countryside home. Soon a whole city is constructed and the little house is upset by all the noise of trains, subways, cars, and bustling people. She's disappointed by all the smoke that ruined her peaceful country home.</span><br />

</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> After reading this story, we discussed how cities need to be built for future populations to live and visit. We talked about some ways we can make this cities <span style="color: #38761d;">"greener" </span>and came up with ideas for what future cities might look like. Students came up with fabulous ideas, like underwater transportation, flying cars, and climate controlled biomes for people to live in so they don't have to travel to warmer places to vacation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here's how we did it:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><strong>Une:</strong></span> We drew our <strong><span style="color: #38761d;">green cities</span></strong> on watercolor paper with pencils (could jump right into black sharpies, but I wanted kids to spend the time making extraordinary details). Imagination was encouraged and the use of groundlines, waterlines, buildings, transportation...etc was discussed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Deux:</span></strong> I pulled out the tube watercolors, which I usually use with the older students, in various shades of green, yellow, and blue watercolors to paint them. I showed the students how to mix colors then dared them to create as many shades of green, turquoise, lime, chartreuse, aqua, and teal they could! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><strong>Trois:</strong></span> Once dried completely, we finished these paintings by outlining all our lines in black sharpies. </span><br />

Some birds, like geese, migrate south to warmer climates. Some birds stay here and often choose birdhouses to stay warm. </span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">To start, sharpies were used to draw a birdhouse and any decorations for the house (perch, hole, roof)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Next the children used colorful tempera paints to paint their birdhouses.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The next class students used colorful papers, feathers, and buttons to create birds to live in their special birdhouses. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Lastly, we used our figures to add crisp, white snow to our pictures. Enjoy!</span></li>

font-size: large;">Learning from Picasso</span></em></strong> we learned the <span style="color: #b45f06;"><strong>basics of drawing figures</strong></span> with correct proportion using wooden manikins. Students used colored pastel paper, white chalk, and black charcoal pencils to complete this project. We learned about blending techniques and how to use kneaded erasers to pull out highlights. Wooden Manikins, like the one below, were placed in various realistic poses to complete this figure study. </span><br />

font-size: large;"><strong>Art Through Children's Literature</strong></span></em> we read <span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><strong>Satoshi Kitamura's <em>Millie's Marvellous Hat</em>.</strong></span> In this book, Millie cannot afford a beautiful feather hat that she sees in a store window. The clerk remembers that he has a special one that's perfect for her budget. This imaginary hat can be any size, shape, or color that she prefers. As she walks down the street wearing it, Millie is inspired. Soon she has a hat like a peacock, then a cake, next a flower, and then a fountain. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Children were inspired to use their own imaginations to create a hat that displayed their very favorite things. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong>First:</strong></span> Using white paper and black sharpies, students drew a simple portrait of themselves. We chose to keep the portraits simple and black and white so the colorful hats could take center stage. Another option would be to cut the face out of the white paper, glue it to black and then add the hat. That's how I'd do them next time!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">Second:</span></strong> Next using various colored paper, metallic paper, sequins, feathers, tissue paper, and buttons, children were free to create their very own special hat. Below are some examples of this fun, imaginative project. </span><br />

A variety of fruit was displayed and we were inspired by the French expressionist painter <strong>Georges Rouault</strong>. Rouault's paintings reflect his former occupation as a stained glass artist, as they have vibrant colors and thick black outlining. This lesson was inspired by the fabulous art blog, <a href="http://www.deepspacesparkle.com/2007/11/stainglass-fruitbowl/">Deep Space Sparkle!</a> We began this art project by drawing the fruit still life with pencil on canvas boards. Here is a picture of our fruit still life set up.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Acrylic paints were applied thickly by double loading the brush with two analogous colors (red and orange, for example). Paint was swirled on the canvas to mimic the look of stained class. Black paint and tiny brushes were used to outline all the fruit, the bowl, and to add a stained glass pattern to the background. Enjoy! *Some students were not here the first day we did this project with fruit, therefore they painted a gourd and pumpkin still life.</span><br />

Modigliani is a painter most widely known for his portraits that featured elongated forms. Often the faces, particularly the noses and necks, of his subjects were longer than normal. Other features like eyes and lips were stylized or exaggerated. Below are two examples of his portraiture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #990000;">First:</span></strong> students used rulers to grid off a 12"x 18" black sheet of construction paper. It was divided into 16- 4.5"x 3" squares. This is not as hard as it sounds, just half the paper in both directions to start and the rest is cake!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Second:</span></strong> Draw the self portrait--this grid allowed students to place the face, eyes, nose, and neck in a way that would allow for an elogated portrait style. The head takes up the top half and the neck and shoulders fill the bottom. Emphasis was placed on creating facial symmetry, and longer noses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><strong>Third:</strong></span> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Portraits were colored heavily in oil pastels and black pastel was used to outline. I found that adding white under flesh toned pastel makes them glow more. These turned out fabulous!</span><br />

Like the instrument, these books expand once opened to display images. </span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> We started with a basic accordian book where we folded a long strip of paper using accordian folds. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Next we used tube water colors to create an abstract wash on watercolor paper. We used this "<strong>painted paper</strong>" to cover the front and back covers.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Paper was cut 1/2" larger on all sides so that it can be folded over to nicely to cover the edges of the mounting board. Squares were cut from the corner so the paper lies flat. Covers can be created using any heavy weight cardboard--the backs of used notebooks or mat board works well. We used Nori paste to keep wrinkles to a minumum, plus it is repositionable!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Next, ribbon was attached to the books--a long strip (or 2 strips) of ribbon was glued to the back of the accordian folded paper and both covers. This allowed the book to open and expand and for it to be tied closed. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>Embellishment</strong> with buttons, metallic paint markers, collage items...etc.</span></li>
</ul></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"></span></span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In addition to a basic accordian book, we also created <strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">pocket accordian books.</span></strong> </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> The paper is folded the same, except it is made wider so you can fold the bottom up to create a pocket in the pages. The pockets can be used to store photos, business cards, or any other flat image. We embellished these books with embossed metal that was antiqued with india ink. We also strung beads and attached them to the covers. These turned out beautiful!</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />

Children, old and young alike LOVE making painted paper--it's their chance to experiment and explore the endless possibilities of paint application and manipulation.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was a two day project --one for painting papers and the next for making the collage.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Supplies are minimal and most are paint texturing items:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">White suphite paper 12"x18"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Tempera paint in fall colors</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Large Brushes</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Magic Paint texturizing tools: Paint combs or scrapers,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> sponges, toothbrushes, bubble wrap...anything that will add texture </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">1.</span></strong> Paints in warm </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">fall colored paints (<strong><span style="color: #990000;">red</span>, <span style="color: #e69138;">orange</span>, <span style="color: #f1c232;">yellow</span>, <span style="color: #783f04;">brown</span>, and <span style="color: #274e13;">green</span></strong>) were set out and children used various items to texture white suphite paper. Goards, pumpkins, leaves and Indian corn were displayed so students can observe the textures and colors. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><strong>2.</strong></span> We used toothbrushes to splatter, sponges to dab, bubble wrap to print, combs to drag, and even our fingers! Names were put on the papers before painting began. Ensure that students put names on all papers--they can also just be made for sharing with the whole class (some kids do grow attached to their papers though, but will share...some!)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3.</span></strong> </span>In the next class students were inspired by a still life of various gourds, pumpkins, leaves and Indian corn to create a unique collage. Shapes were cut from the painted papers and sharing of papers was encouraged. Objects were arranged to overlap each other. These were glued to black paper to make the vibrant colors pop!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We also talked about how many families make (or buy) scarecrows as decorations during the Autumn season.

Students cut out pants, shirts, dresses, hats, patches, and faces using their skeleton as a template. We use construction paper, patterned paper and some leftover painted papers.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

His paintings are very much inspired by the vibrant colored glass, which is separated by bold black lead lines. The subject matter of Rouault's paintings often focused on royal courts and other important people.

This book tells of the story of a clumsy giraffe named Gerald who's legs are too skinny. The jungle is hosting a dance, and all of the other animals can do the tango, the waltz, and really <span style="background-color: yellow;">groove. </span> Gerald isn't the best dancer and the other animals tease him and this makes him very sad. A kind cricket plays Gerald some special music, and he realizes that sometimes if you're different, you just need a different song. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This story sends out a great message that you can excel and enjoy who you are even if, at first, the world does not play your tune. Additionally, it ecourages the validation and acceptance of a child who feels different--which is always a great message! Dance on!</span><br />

We counted to 100 together to allow the yellow to dry and then added green paint on top. We turned our brushes upside down and use the ends to scratch in some grass texture. Some students were not present during this part, therefore, they used oil pastels on black paper to create their nighttime backgrounds.</span></div><br />

We started with a simple oval shape for the belly. I demonstrated how to make the giraffe dance in two poses, standing and doing a somersault. Basically as long as the giraffe had 4 skinny legs, a long neck, and spots you were on the right track! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Just as one must practice, stretch, and condition to play a sport or become a good dancer, we must "exercise" our art skills to become better artists! Using the following creative exercise worksheet, we were given the problem of using 12 artistic elements (simple designs) to make 7 unique and dynamic creatures. These creatures or characters must interact within a specific scene or habitat.</span><br />

This book travels through the seasons, and explains where animals go in the winter. Each illustration features sounds that animals make such as splashing fish and wiggling tadpoles, so it's a really fun book to read!</span><br />

Klimt was an Austrian artist whose work is inspired by his gold engraving background. He's considered to be part of the <strong><span style="color: #351c75;">Art Nouveau movement</span></strong>, which was popular from around 1880 to 1915. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> The Art Nouveau style is characterized by:</strong></span><br />
<ul><li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> organic, mostly floral and plant inspired motifs</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> highly stylized swirling forms</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> spirals</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> metallic elements</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> curling scrolls</strong></span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This style became popular in paintings, sculptures, architecture, furniture, fabrics, and jewelry. We were especially inspired by <strong>Klimt's "Cradle" painting,</strong> which features a baby wrapped in warm colorful quilts with lots of patterns.</span><br />

</span></div><ol><li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We then began our art projects by drawing a simplified self-portrait at the top of watercolor paper. We add a variety of curvy lines that reached out to all of the edges of our papers to create the "cozy quilt" around our bodies. Some students even chose to put a sibling or favorite bedtime stuffed animal snuggled into their quilts.</span></div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Next, we filled each space of the quilt with a different pattern.</span></div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We continued this project the following week by using watercolor palettes to paint each quilt shape. Students were shown how to glaze with a light color, and then once the area dried, to go back over it with a darker color to create the patterns. </span></div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When all the areas were painted and dried, we used black sharpies and gold and silver paint pens to embellish the patterns, add stitching, and sewn on patches. The metallic elements were added to eccentuate Klimt's use of gold leaf.**Make sure paintings are completely dry before using markers and pens, wet paint ruins these expensive tools!</span></div></li>

font-size: large;">Art Through Children's Literature</span></em></strong> we read <strong><em>"Old Bear"</em> by Kevin Henkes.</strong> This is a fabulous children's book that tells the story of a bear hibernating during the winter and dreaming of being a cub again. He imagines the the springtime flowers, the summer butterflies, and the fall leaves blowing. After reading, we discussed how animals prepare for the cold winters by eating lots of food or stocking up like squirrels do. We even talked about how some, like geese, fly south for the winter to warmer climates.</span><br />

We simply painted the underbellies (veined part) of the leaves with <strong><span style="color: #e69138;">warm oranges</span>, <span style="color: #f1c232;">yellows,</span> <span style="color: #cc0000;">reds</span>, and </strong><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>brown</strong>s</span>, and then turned them over and pressed them to the paper. A paper towel placed on top of the leaf while pressing helps get an even print and keeps hands clean!</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
