The texture castles above were created by First Graders at Summerside Elementary. During our texture rotation, 1st graders are learning how to use shapes to create their own castle and then use special stickers to create the texture of bricks. They also have the option of using texture plates to create other design textures in their grass and sky. They loved using stickers to build strong castles and liked coloring over the bumps to create the brick texture. I enjoyed seeing they drawings unfold as they added details from their imaginations like fire-breathing dragons and of course self-portraits as queens and kings.
3rd Graders at Amelia Elementary learned how to cut out symmetrical vase shapes and then added colorful textures with the texture plate tool. Different types of flowers were added using smooth oil pastels. Very Beautiful 3rd Grade!
Mrs. Hayden's 2nd grade class at Summerside enjoyed learning different ways to make textures in their project. To create the texture of water, students used watercolor paint and laid plastic wrap over it as it dried overnight. The next art class, students used texture plates and crayon to create fun scales on their fish. The second graders were very proud of their work! Way to go!
As a member of The Ohio Art Education Association (OAEA) I attended this year's conference held in Cincinnati. It was a worthwhile day of Professional Development. I attended workshops on hot topics like TAB (Teaching for Artist Behavior), encouraging students to use critical thinking /21st Century Learning, and Multiculturalism as well as getting great lesson ideas for elementary art. The networking was great and I came home inspired with new ideas I want to incorporate into my classroom! Summerside 5th graders are learning about texture and value. No better way to practice than drawing the new West Clermont mascot-Wolves. Students learned step-by-step how to draw the shape of their wolf, added its hair texture and pressed harder with their pencil to shade in areas to make it look more realistic. Great effort was shown and there was great success for first time drawing a wolf!
