Art Prompt 1

Here we go! Our first Crazy Busy Art Room Art Prompt! I thought it would be nice for us to get outside before the rain drops keep us in the house for a bit. Your art prompt for today is to go outside on a nature scavenger hunt. What objects can you find outside that you could use as drawing inspiration? On my hunt this morning I found leaves, pinecones, an acorn, and pine needles. NOW it is time to create! What can you make with these items? Will you do a drawing or painting? Will you glue the items together to create a sculpture? When I finish, I will post my creation. Feel free to post and share your creation with me! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Little Owl's Orange Scarf

I stumbled across this idea on Pinterest and must say that I absolutely love it.  Here is a new spin on my Little Clay Owl Lesson.  Original lesson and steps can be found on attached link.

Little Clay Owl, Kindergarten Art Lesson

We begin this lesson the very same way as directed by the link mentioned above.  On the second day of this project, after pieces have been fired in the kiln, I start off the class period by reading the book Little Owl's Orange Scarf by Tatyana Feeney.  Students then paint their sculptures using tempera paint cakes.  After painting is completed I ask the students if they want an orange or blue scarf.  This is then attached to the sculpture.  I spray the sculptures with an gloss varnish sealer and then hot glue a pair of wiggly eyes to each owl. 

I think they just turned out darling!
