Colors can confuse me.<br />
I get so mixed up sometimes.<br />
Singing this- song will help<br />
Me remember how to mix.<br />
My teacher wants me to learn<br />
And I must know NOW NOW NOW.<br />
'Cause here we go, mixin' up colors.<br />
<br />
WHAT DO BLUE & YELLOW MAKE?<br />
Green-green-green-green-green Ga-ga-green!<br />
Green-green-green-green-green Ga-ga-green!<br />
Green-green-green-green-green Ga-ga-green!<br />
BLUE AND YELLOW!<br />
<br />
Wa-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ow!<br />
Wa-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ow!<br />
Wa-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ow!<br />
<br />
What do RED & YELLOW make?<br />
<br />
Oree-oree-oree-ange!<br />
Oree-oree-oree-ange!<br />
Oree-oree-oree-ange!<br />
<br />
RED & YELLOW!<br />
<br />
Ya-ya- ya-ya ya-ya Yes!<br />
Ya-ya- ya-ya ya-ya Yes!<br />
Ya-ya- ya-ya ya-ya Yes!<br />
<br />
What do colors make?<br />
<br />
Now we've made green & orange.<br />
Let's review some facts we know.<br />
Colors that you start with<br />
Primary: Red, Blue, Yellow<br />
First there's red, so beautiful<br />
Like a sunburned strawberry.<br />
But then there's blue, a calming color,<br />
like an ocean wave rolling<br />
oooon oooon oooon.<br />
oooon oooon oooon.<br />
Then Yellow like the su-uh-uh-uh-un<br />
Uh-uh-uh-uh-un<br />
RED, BLUE & YELLOW!!<br />
<br />
Yet yet yet yet what now?<br />
Yet yet yet yet what now?<br />
Yet yet yet yet what now?<br />
<br />
What do BLUE & RED make?<br />
Pur pur pur pur pur pur Purple!<br />
Pur pur pur pur pur pur Purple!<br />
Pur pur pur pur pur pur Purple!<br />
BLUE & RED!<br />
<br />
Ahee ahee-a Ha Hee!<br />
Ahee ahee-a Ha Hee!<br />
Ahee ahee-a Ha Hee!<br />
<br />
What do Colors Make?<br />
<br />
Aooo aooo (howl)<br />
<br />
The secret of colors, ancient mystery<br />
somewhere deep in this song I know you're hiding.<br />
What do you maaaake? Will we ever know?<br />
Will it always be a mystery? What do you make?!<br />
You're my Color Panda hiding in this song.<br />
What do you make? Will we ever know?<br />
Will it always be a mystery? What do you maaaake?! [Echo>(Blue and yellow make green.<br />
Red and yellow make orange.)<br />
Will we... [Echo>(Blue and red make purple)<br />
...ever knooow? I want to - I want to - I want to know!<br />
[Echo>(That's how you mix the colors!)<br />
<br />
<br />

This is how I would show my first graders to start putting their face together. They would have already had individual lessons on each facial feature & be acquainted with some basic facial anatomy.<br />
<br />
To see some examples of how my first graders did on this project, go to<br />

Jenipher came yesterday and I showed her how we were going to do the heads. She was responsible for showing her two groups how to do Hapi and Imsety. I showed my two groups how to do Qebehsenuef and Duamutef. </div>

They did better than I thought they would! Jenipher was a huge help. Clay projects require a smaller student to teacher ratio (especially with younger children). </div>

the video was over. He took about<br />
12 minutes total. <span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">He's 10 years old</span> and in 4th grade.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
As he was drawing he kept saying, "Miss Mathews, I can't do it!" & I kept telling him, "You ARE doing it! It looks great, just keep going!" I actually took his eraser away from him because he was trying to be a perfectionist. He cracks me up.<br />
<br />
I asked him if he would like to comment on the experience, he said: "It's hard, but<br />
eventually you'll get it."<br />
<br />
<div>
"Do you think it helped going faster?"<br />"Yes"<br />"Were you nervous?"<br />"Oh yeah!"</div>

Evelyn showed me this today. She had taken it home and colored it on her own. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think she did well with her color choice and pretty well with her draftsmanship!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday in teacher's meeting we discussed the ideas of Charlotte Mason. I realized that I have not been showing my students examples of good artwork like I should be. To fix this oversight, I compiled several famous works of art along with several works of art by my friends for my 1st graders to look at. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The idea is to expose students to quality </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ideas and materials. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Out of the pieces by my friends, these got the biggest reaction from my 1st graders. </div>

The third graders will be doing a watercolor illustration of <u>Hansel and Gretel</u>. This is a 3 part project. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first step was for them to come up with ideas/thumbnail sketches.</div>

I read the original story to them and while I read, they sketched. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">This student did the best so far in making interesting thumbnails that use the space well.</span></b></div>

I really liked the one of Gretel pointing at the house in the first photo where only half of Hansel is showing. It's a mature composition for someone her age, and I didn't even have to suggest it. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;"><b>I'm emphasizing</b></span> that their picture should be of something <i>happening</i>, about to <i>happen</i> or something that has <i>happened; </i>not just a portrait or something static. I'm also emphasizing that they should not waste their space and that whatever is important in the picture should be the biggest (Background details shouldn't be equal or more prominent than what's happening.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">The next stage </span></b>will be a sketch of their best idea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If they don't use the space well the first time, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will come by and "crop" it by folding their paper or drawing a box around the necessary part of the picture. The final stage will be a watercolor of that idea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will keep you posted. (No pun intended.) ;)</div>

Both sections of 2nd grade have finished the bases of their canopic jars and the organs that go with them!<br />
Each student completed one of the four "sons of Horus" (there are 29 second graders). The organs from left to right are the second grade version of the: stomach, liver, colon & lungs. (The numbers and letters are just our code so we know which child did what.)<br />
<br />
The first class didn't get the clay packed into the cups very well. I don't think I stressed it enough. The second class did much better though because I really stressed it and showed some of them individually.<br />
<br />
I had an adult volunteer to help me with this project (which was wonderful!) but had I not had a volunteer, the students wouldn't have been able to complete this in 50 minutes. You really do need one person to cut the foam cup "molds" off of the cups while another person shows them how to make their organs. </div>

Here's Evie's mouse after another lesson. Next time we'll finish the mouse, do the touch ups & be done! She has the opportunity to practice mixing different values of the same color on the mouse & next time we'll use the values to blend that area on the mouse's stomach & on his right leg.<br />

I accidentally took a 3 hour nap earlier and now I cannot sleep . . . Therefore I made this video. As you have probably gathered, I'm working up to doing the whole "First Grade Face." Then I'll skip a couple grade levels to show you how I step up the instruction for different grade levels.<br />

Today, I took both 5th grade classes outside on the porch because it was raining. They silently drew pictures of whatever they saw in the landscape ahead of them. Then I had them take their shoes off and we played in the rain :) </div>

There's something so thrilling about playing in the rain. They're also at the age where they're not worried about messing up their makeup or hair or trying to be too cool.<br />
<br />
I had 3 or 4 of them come up to me and say, "Thank you!" One of the moms of my students that teaches at our school actually saw and thanked me for letting her daughter run in the rain haha.<br />

This is just a small part of the art that's up all over the hallways. All of the blue matts are portrait anatomy pieces. On the other side of the wall are black matts that frame the students' choice pieces. This just gives you a feel for what the hallway looks like now. It's wall to wall art! </div>

We did the bases and the organs for one class of 2nd graders. The project took more than the 50 min. class period and the kids didn't stuff the clay down into the cups well enough. I'm going to have to come up with a better way of explaining how to pack the cup and maybe get one more volunteer to help. The organs turned out well though and were right on the students' level. </div>

I was at work until almost 7 last night and until about 8:30 tonight prepping for this Canopic jar project.<br />
I know it's a lot of extra work, but I'd rather stay late and have better looking projects come out than simplify it more.<br />

The tables are all prepped for tomorrow. The tools are set out and their smocks are ready on their stools. I assigned seating so that whoever is doing a certain "son of Horus" will be sitting together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I realized <i><b>after</b></i> prepping the whole room that I have another class coming <b><i>before</i></b> the clay project . . . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instantly I decided that it would be a good idea to take that class outside tomorrow! I'm not de-prepping, no way haha. </div>
