Art Week 2015 has come and gone. As always, it is a hectic, but rewarding week where the students get a chance to work 2 artists a day for the entire week. I love that the school makes art a priority even if only for an intensive week. I worked with two groups of 3rd-5th graders for 1 hour and 15 minute sessions each day. <br />
<br />
This year the project was recycled vinyl record bowls. I had just finished the same project with classes of 4th graders at a different school and loved them so much that I wanted to try it again. Since I had much more time with this group of kids, I expanded the lesson and devoted more time to exploring the artists who inspired this project. We started by learning about Australian Aboriginal dot painting. Students painted Australian animals with tempura paint on card stock, concentrating on brush control.<br />
<br />
Next we learned about color theory. Students used paint chips as we discussed warm, cool, primary, secondary and analogous colors. They were asked to choose either warm or cool colors to use when designing their record bowls. The students came up with at least two designs and chose the one they liked best to paint on their record.<br />

The students drew their designs on the prepared records, then spent two days using acrylic paint to complete their designs. The goal was to complete at least one coat of paint on the first day since at least two coats are needed.</div>

I brought the finished projects home to put them in the oven to slump into bowls. I love how these turned out. This has become my favorite project!</div>

I just finished working with the 4th graders at Westside Elementary School. The students worked in groups to paint vinyl records that had been discarded from their school library. <br />

Once the students finished painting the records, I brought home them home to slump over a metal bowl in my oven.</div>

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To do this at home, set the oven to 225 degrees. Place the record painted side up over a metal bowl. Put the bowl on a cookie sheet to easily put it in and take it out of the oven.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let the bowl heat for about 5-7 minutes. It may not slump on it's own, but it will be pliable at this point. The metal bowl and cookie sheet will be hot to the touch, but the record will be warm. You can use a pair of tongs, or even use your hands to push the record into the metal bowl to form it. It will cool and re-harden within minutes.</div>

This is just a concept piece for <a href="http://tallgrasstaphouse.com/" target="_blank">Tallgrass Brewing</a>. Jess made 7 mosaics that are installed in their pub, <a href="http://tallgrasstaphouse.com/" target="_blank">Tallgrass Tap House</a>, but this was made to show them an idea of what he could make. No skulls ended up in the work at the pub, but this piece is amazing just the same.</div>

There is a new artists cooperative shop in Hood River called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/artonoak?fref=ts" target="_blank">Art on Oak</a>. This is a morph of Kids in the Hood (a shop where I used to sell my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/ReThink-Crafts/269821772320?ref=hl" target="_blank">ReThink Crafts</a> items) and the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hood-River-Holiday-Pop-up-Shop/721910551215618?ref=hl" target="_blank">Hood River Holiday Pop-up Shop</a>. There are about 20 artists from the Columbia Gorge that sell their work there. I am excited to have a space to sell my work.</div>

Chenowith Elementary School in The Dalles, Oregon has the goal of decorating the front of their school with mosaics. I started this project with the school during the 2013-2014 school year. The entire student body was involved in creating 6 mosaics. They decided to continue making more mosaics the following school year. I designed 12 more mosaics, but only 6 were finished by the end of the year. Next year, the plan is to continue making them until eventually every other section below the front windows will have mosaic.<br />
<br />
I spent a lot of time researching the history of the Columbia Gorge and The Dalles. I decided to design the mosaics based on the local wildflowers, the fish in the Columbia Gorge, petroglyphs found in the area and the Oregon Trail. Here are the designs that will be made into the mosaics.<br />

Once the designs were done, I came into the school to transfer the designs to the board on which the mosaics would be made. Individual classes worked on the mosaics in their spare time. A family art night was scheduled for the school where parents came in to learn more about art that was being done at the school. Two of the mosaics were available for the families to work on together.</div>

The 4th graders at Westside Elementary spent 5 days working on animal magazine mosaics. I read a handful of books by Jan Brett and we studied her illustrations. The 4th graders chose an animal to study then drew it on a recycled book page. Once the animals were drawn in pencil, they were traced with Sharpie and watercolored. <br />
<br />
They painted the outline for the animal's habitat in black paint with a brown paper grocery bag cut into a rectangle and then started filling in the spaces with cut out magazine pages.<br />
<br />

Here are some of their finished projects.</div>

The summer started with a week-long mosaic project with the children of Bingen, Washington. A new, and much needed, water fountain was scheduled to be added to the city park which provided a great opportunity for a new mosaic. I spent the week with about 60 kids from the community. They helped make the mosaic by breaking tile and laying the pieces in place. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.prattandlarson.com/" target="_blank">Pratt and Larson</a> donated the tile for this project. They have a wonderful outlet center in the back of their showroom with very affordable tile. Check them out if you are in Portland!<br />
<br />
The space that was designated for the new water fountain used to be a water feature years ago. We were able to start with a clean canvas and decided to pour a new slab of concrete in a circle, 14 feet in diameter.<br />

I had the pleasure of teaching 2nd graders at Westside Elementary about clay. I chose two projects to have the students complete in 5 one hour sessions. <br />
<br />
During the first session I read the book <u>The Pottery Place</u> by Gail Gibbons which gave the students a great background on pottery.<br />

During our second session together the students created flower impressions tiles using pasta, ends of marker containers, screws, caps, and any other items I could find that made an interesting impression.</div>

This year the week-long lesson was about labyrinths and mazes. I first taught the students the difference between a labyrinth and a maze. (A labyrinth has one path leading to the center with no tricks, dead-ends or false paths. A maze is meant to be a puzzle to figure out.)<br />
<br />
The students spent the week creating labyrinths with the idea of using them to help focus, slow down, solve problems and center themselves.<br />

I taught them how to create their own labyrinth by starting with drawing a seed. Students used recycled book pages, and watercolor crayons on their labyrinths. They outlined their labyrinths with white glue to create a raised line and barrier for their finger when they use their finger labyrinths. Their creations were added to the cover of their books.</div>

Students also decorated bean bags with a finger labyrinth. Each student worked with me to sew the bean bags with my sewing machine. I bring my sewing machine into as many lessons as possible and am always amazed at how many students have not had the experience to seeing a sewing machine in action.</div>

On our final day together, the students collaborated on a walking labyrinth made on the backside of a reclaimed billboard. I gave the students metallic markers to use on the black vinyl billboard. These labyrinths were given to the school for classes to use whenever they desired.</div>

<span id="goog_346218280"></span>For the last two summers, I was asked to be part of a new summer camp program that was created at Home at Last, the Humane Society, in The Dalles, Oregon. We wanted to offer a week long day camp for kids in the community to learn about and work with the animals at the shelter. What an amazing week we had.<br />
<br />
Each day the campers walked the dogs along the Riverfront Trail. Finding 8-9 dogs a day that were kid friendly and were able to walk together in a group proved to be a challenge, but the staff at Home At Last rose to the challenge each day.<br />
<br />
The campers learned about animal behavior, created animal themed art projects, made animal beds and dog/cat toys and read to the animals each day. They also collaborated on painting a dog house that is now sitting in front of the building, greeting the guests each day.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the projects the kids created during the week.<br />

I recently taught a class on recycled animals inspired by author/ illustrator Jan Brett. She is coming to town soon to give a talk and I was asked to teach a class over Thanksgiving break inspired by her work. </div>

Since I work with recycled materials, I decided to have the students draw a picture of an animal on recycled book pages. I read Jan Brett's books <u>The Mitten</u> and <u>The Hat</u> to the class. We looked at the pictures in the books as examples. The students drew animals in pencil, used Sharpies to outline and then painted them in with watercolor.</div>

While the painted animals were drying, the students painted a border and habitat in black tempura on the back of brown grocery bags. </div>

I have decided to open a Holiday Pop-up Shop this winter in downtown Hood River, Oregon. I was able to find a beautiful building on Oak Street and with the collaboration of as many other handmade artists/ crafters/designers as I can find, we will have a temporary shop selling our handmade creations just time for holiday shopping.<br />

While teaching a lesson on texture, I decided to introduce the class to the art of Louise Nevelson. She used found objects to create sculpture. She then painted her pieces all one color. This is what the kids tried to recreate. I brought boxes filled with random objects. The students glued them on platforms made from crafts sticks.</div>

Once their projects had dried overnight, they chose one color to paint them. These small jars of tester paint were donated to the school I was working with. They were perfect for our project.</div>

It is always fun to give students permission to use materials in new and in this instance, writing in books. I looked for books that were discarded from the local library, with few pictures and with covers that were still in decent shape.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">When we moved into our home, we knew it needed to be updated. We let the kids choose the colors they wanted for their room. Although I thought the colors were very dark and tried to suggest more subtle colors, they insisted on red and turquoise to go with the cedar wood paneling. The turquoise curtains that were already in the room when we moved in helped to create a very dark, cave-like room. It was no wonder that they rarely spent time in there. This winter I had enough of the dark and suggested a room make-over. I asked them to trust my judgement, then shipped them off to their grandparents house overnight while my husband and I got to work on lightening up their room.</span></div>

Another successful Art Week at May Street Elementary! Art Week is just what it sounds like. A whole week when the entire school is devoted to ART! Six artists are hired and many parents volunteer to teach crafts all week to the entire student population. This year I decided to have the students make recycled art journals from discarded hardbound books.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">I spent a couple of weeks searching through my local libraries discarded books and also talked to local used books stores for donations. I was able to collect around 100 books and only spent $2.50! Thank you Artifacts in Hood River, Oregon and The Book Peddler in White Salmon, Washington for your donations.</span></div>

I painted the cover of each book with chalkboard paint and had the kids decorate the covers with colored pencils and metallic Sharpies.<br />

I had never kept an art journal before preparing for this week, but after doing extensive research, I decided that it was a great idea! Giving myself a couple of minutes each day to create is exactly what I need and modeling that to my kids is an added bonus. <br />

I designed the 6 pieces to either stand alone or put together to create two scenes of the Gorge. They each contained the sky, mountain and river or wildflowers. I drew and colored the designs with crayon and then made another copy using melted crayons and dots to get an idea of what the final projects may look like.</div>

There is a new shop opening in Hood River called <a href="http://www.kids-inthehood.com/" target="_blank">Kids in the Hood</a>. It is filled with handmade items from local artists. The idea behind the store is to have a permanent place for local artists to sell their wares instead of waiting for local craft fairs and Saturday Market.</div>

After they learned about radial design, I taught them how to make mandalas. They were asked to trust their creativity and just create. All of the students were successful and most were surprised at what wonderful mandalas they created. <br />
