 HOW TO SET UP AN ART CORNER IN 4TH GRADE CLASSROOM

how to set up your art corner

Through Art Corner, students can express their feelings, ideas, and creativeness! In the Art Corner, every child is an artist! It is a place that encourages critical thinking, problem solving, and a wide range of vocabulary. Through art, students can learn and develop skills in all learning domains (language, literacy, math, science, social studies, fine motor, gross motor, and social skills). It is an amazing place in your classroom if you are intentional with the materials and experiences you plan and set up for your students.

Steps on how to set up an Art Corner

step 1: Cut and paste the tarpapel that will serve as the backdrop and decorations for your art corner. Make certain that it is pleasing to the eyes of your students. Colorful images will be extremely useful in capturing their attention.

 step 2: Attach the first tarpapel that you made after cutting and pasting. Find the perfect place for it.

step 3: It's time to attach the second tarpapel now that we've finished attaching the first. I chose to place it on the right lower side because I believe it is ideal for that location. Furthermore, if a student wishes to write something, it is simple to do so.

step 4: Post something that inspires children to love and appreciate the arts. Begin with simple words that are easy to understand and inject. It will help them gain confidence in the arts and the assurance that they can be artists.

step 5: Compile a collection of images that will provide ideas and encouragement to the children. It's an absolute must! :)

progress check....

step 6: To make the corner more appealing and attractive, use some art-related images.

step 7: Don't forget the stationery that they can use to create art. Put as many as you can on the table so that the children can choose what they want and explore more.

anddd violaaa,.... our art corner is finally done and ready for use!!

To wrap up today's blog, here are some photos of me enjoying my newly created art corner. I hope you've gained some knowledge from the suggestions I've provided. Adios!

My Choice of Art

 "Art is not what you see but what you make others see."

- Edgar Degas

Art is an expression of our thoughts, emotions, intuitions, and desires, but it is even more personal than that: it’s about sharing the way we experience the world, which for many is an extension of personality. It is the communication of intimate concepts that cannot be faithfully portrayed by words alone. And because words alone are not enough, we must find some other vehicle to carry our intent. But the content that we instill on or in our chosen media is not in itself the art. Art is to be found in how the media is used, the way in which the content is expressed.

Here are the Best Art Activities for Kids in the classroom

A WORD ABOUT PAINTING.

• Realism comes from long practice in drawing.
• Painting is about something entirely different.
• A painter's chief concern is what happens with his paint. Colors, blends, lights and darks, large areas of color, small areas of color, clean color, transparent color, harmony, brush strokes, textures, mood -- these are part of what he is experimenting with. If it looks realistic, fine. If it doesn't, he is not bothered so long as his design and effect are pleasing.
• In children paintings, many naive effects reach qualities the adult painter is struggling for. Learn to find these: it's a fascinating game.

POINTERS ABOUT PAINTING.

• Tempera pigments are not pure and do not mix into clear clean blends.
• Tempera should be thickness of light cream.
• Using the side of the brush to paint along a line works better than using the brush point.
• Brushes should not be held like a pencil but should be grasped at least an inch back of the metal ferrule.
• Brush drawing is bolder and freer than pencil drawing, and much to be preferred.
• Filling in pencil drawing is coloring, not painting.
• Serious painters often spread on color and draw over it, without concern for fitting the color and drawing exactly.
• Wet paper (on both sides) gives beautiful effects if not overloaded with paint.
• Children, K-2, should not have more than 3 colors at a time.

P R O C E D U R E   F O R   P A I N T I N G

Get set for painting activities at the beginning of the year, and the actual activity will be simple.

Do this: Have olds newspapers on hand.

     Cut down cardboard cartons.(Campbell's soup size) to 3" high.

     Cut tops from milk cartons to hold paint.

     Place 6 milk cartons in foil-lined cardboard box-tray.

     Collect large cans from cafeteria to hold water.

     If individual water containers are needed, cut tops off plastic milk bottles.

Before the painting activity

Do this: Fill milk cartons with 4 to 6 separate colors 1/2" to 1" deep.

     Set paint cartons in cardboard tray and cover with plastic wrap.

     Wet a batch of paper towels and wring slightly.

To begin

Do this: Cover tables with newspaper (2 pupils)

     Give out paper and Bruges (2 pupils)

     Set water and paints on tables (Teacher)

     Give each child a damp paper towel for keeping hands clean.

To clean up

Do this: Pupils clean brushes in water can and lay them on table.

     Teacher collects paint tray and discards all milk cartons the as nearly empty.

     1 pupil collects brushes.

     1 pupil at each empties water cans at sink.

     Each pupil removes newspaper from table and folds them compactly, leaving painting on table.

     1 pupil passes the waste basket to collect newspaper.

     Paintings not dry can be spread temporarily on floor or counters. If someone will donate an old hair dryer, the drying can be speeder up.

  2. M  o  s  a  i  c

Mosaics are made by fixing small pieces of various materials side-by-side to form a design or figure. Many examples of this technique can be found in art history. The design should be kept simple, especially in primary grades. Natural forms provide good ideas for mosaic design. Mosaics can be produced by individuals, groups, or classes.

M O S A I C S  U S I N G  P A P E R  B A S E S  K-2

Preplanning

Objectives

     To create a mosaic using paper pieces

     To experiment with different qualities of papers

Materials

     Bits of colored paper of any kind), seeds, eggshells, beads, grass, leaves. etc.. in small containers according to color or object: scissors, envelopes,  paste, rubber cement, or quick-drying glue: paper or hard cardboard for mounting.

Preparation

     If possible, show examples of mosaics and discuss. Put all materials on table or convenient place. Allow children to file past table to collect what they need and put mosaic pieces in envelopes.

Motivate

Procedure 

     Make sketch of simple design to be used. Transfer to background paper. If paper is used for mosaic pieces, cut or tear into square or irregular shapes about 12"x12".  Mosaic materials are pasted down, working from outline of design. Leave tiny gaps between pieces. Pieces may be set in curves parallel to outline of design. Encourage variety of colors in forms -- Example: 2 shades of green in grass.

Variation

     Use scraps of contact paper for mosaic pieces.

     Use gummed tape -- cut into mosaic pieces and crayon or paint. 

     Use cloth, wood, cardboard. et,, for base.

     Use paper circles from hold puncher. Plan sketch in color (crayons). 

     Transfer to large cardboard or posterboard. With brush or fingers apply glue or paste to small area. Apply circles with fingers or tips of pencils. Overlap top cardboard from showing through. Shellac may be applied to completed work.

Characteristics: 

• Dark wax crayons can easily be drawn over lighter areas. Dark colors are opaque.
•  Lighter colors laid on a dark area appear to mix with it.
•  Paper: Rough paper surface will not be filled as thickly. 
• Smooth colors can be rubbed and mixed with fingers or a rag. 
• Wax crayons are soluble in turpentine, tandrotine and benzine.
•  Heavy waxed areas can be blurred with a brush dipped in turpentine.

to experiment with color to learn 

to combine crayons with other media

Preplanning 

Objectives

     to use repeat designs 

     to overlap for depth

 Materials 

     cardboard, (old file folders, crayons, scissors, paper, (newsprint_ Manila)

 Preparation 

     Each child will need file folder, scissors, crayons and paper.

Procedure 

     Sketch a simple object (tree, animal, flower, building, etc.) with crayon on cardboard file folder. Cut out. Child can cut into sheet from edge and tape slash together afterward. This gives a positive and a negative stencil. Use either or both. 

 

     Place stencil on a flat surface. Cover with paper. Rub with crayon held on flat side. Move object and rub again. Place a second or third object over the ones already there. Let them overlap. Stagger placement by moving up or down on paper.

Variation

     The stencil may be placed on top of the paper and heavily chalked around outline. Turn using fingers, rub chalk on to paper with strokes perpendicular to edge. 

Evaluate 

    Does the composition have a feeling of depth? Have objects been overlapped staggered?

why i love make up

 

I've always been a big fan of cosmetics. I used to sit and watch, enthralled, as my mother painted her nails with brilliant red polish. Then I'd beg her to make my room pink (my fave colour back then).

I was only permitted to wear that much makeup. I had a children's makeup kit, but I only used it to paint the faces of my dolls. It was so much fun.

Makeup seemed amazing back then. It had an unearthly quality to the way it could transform a face and highlight your greatest features. I couldn't wait to be old enough to put it on. I felt so grown-up when I eventually did it.

I'm still as much in love with makeup as I was when I was younger and wiser. This is why:

1. Self-Expression

Makeup, like clothes, helps me to convey my personality and moods visually. When I'm feeling romantic, I'll use pink eyeshadow and gloss. Sexy? Red lips and a soft smokey eye. Happy? Eyeshadow in a rainbow of colors or vivid fuchsia lips. Professional? No-make up make up look. And if I'm feeling like all of these things at the same time, I can adjust my appearance to match.

Makeup has the ability to transform a face and reveal who you are to the rest of the world. Isn't that incredible?

2. Boost Your Confidence

There is no magic lipstick that will transform you from an insecure little girl to a confident lady in an instant. Experience, practice, and a trust in one's own abilities and self-worth are all factors that contribute to confidence.

And I certainly don’t believe that anyone needs to wear makeup to be beautiful and worthy. You already are both, even if you may not think so right now.

But there's no denying that makeup, like clothes, has the ability to influence your mood. I always feel a little more bold, playful, and ready to try new things when I wear red lipstick or red nail polish. That sensation is one among my favorites.

3. Outlet for Creativity

Art has always been a passion of mine. I frequently visit museums and art galleries to admire paintings and sculptures. Singing and dancing are two of my favorite activities. Craftspeople who can produce magnificent stuff with their hands have my undying adoration.

But I'm not a painter. I don't have the calling, and I certainly lack the necessary talents. I can, however, apply cosmetics. It's a sort of art that everybody may enjoy. Every woman becomes, even if she doesn’t realise it, an artist when she blends her eyeshadows and swipes on her lipstick.

It's my favorite creative expression after writing. It allows me to be as creative as I want and truly represent my inner world because there are so many colors, textures, finishes, and techniques to experiment.

#CRAFThings

 I love handcraft

Passion, in my opinion, is the desire to do something, and that is how I feel about doing crafts. I'm compelled to accomplish it by an internal motivation. I've always preferred to do things with my hands, even as a child. I'm referring to crafts. Because I discovered that I could make many beautiful and fun things with my own hands in my spare time, this activity became my favorite pastime. This activity could be used in a variety of settings. Now, I still enjoy doing crafts, but it's no longer simply for fun; I've learned that handcrafts are hobbies that involve creating aesthetic aspects that may be used for other purposes. I engage in this activity for the following reasons: Entertainment, contributing to the environment and to widen my imagination.

I enjoy practicing handicraft as a form of leisure since it allows me to unwind when I am bored, satisfy a medical rest, or simply enjoy spare time. When I'm bored or worried because I'm doing stuff I don't particularly enjoy. I chose to make crafts to change my mood or relieve tension. Since I've learnt a range of beautiful and interesting things that can be done using readily available materials over the course of my life. Make a coaster out of popsicle sticks, for example.

It gives me great pleasure to be able to contribute to the environment through doing crafts, which is one of my favorite activities. I get a great sense of satisfaction when I take materials that would otherwise end up in the trash and turn them into something wonderful, unique, and interesting. Over the course of my life, I've learned how to repurpose a wide range of recyclable items.

In conclusion, mastering handcrafts was the best thing that has occurred to me since I was a child because it has supplied me with several rewards in my life. It provides me with entertainment when I'm bored or anxious since it allows me to switch my activity to something I enjoy, which re-energises me. When I was on a protracted medical leave, I used handcrafts as therapy. It's worth mentioning that handcrafting allows me to make the most of every spare moment of my life. The crafts are important because they allow me to contribute to the environment by repurposing recyclable materials into lovely home decorations.

Trust me you are not alone when it comes to buying and hoarding stationary.

While attractive stationery is an excellent incentive to buy it in and of itself, I believe that this compulsive hoarding of lovely stationery holds three tremendous and alluring promises.

For one, it promises to help you reach your full creative potential. Like the belief that the right notebook can help you conquer the world. Alternatively, many individuals feel that the blank first page of a new notebook can unlock a world of possibilities, allowing you to be your most creative self. The thought that putting the right pen and paper together will only result in amazing and creative ideas is also a powerful incentive.

Second, handwritten correspondence, such as letters and invitations, has the capacity to generate anticipation and excitement in ways that text messages, emails, and social media platforms just cannot. And for a select number, the excitement of purchasing stationery is a major motivator.

Lastly, and most importantly for me, stationary allow us to preserve structure and order in our busy life. With the ongoing battle with digital toys--iPads, laptops and Kindles--in our lives, this growing dependence on these products has made people realize that really important stuff can be deleted with a tiny glitch. This impermanence is one of the strongest reasons why people can't let go of keeping records, a copy of their contacts, daily schedule and other important stuff on paper.

Overall, a notebook has the capacity to instantly provide you with the world while also leaving you with a taste of memories. People stare at me in wonder some days when I'm scribbling in my notepad. My classmate didn't have a pen when I requested for one, and he was taken aback by my unusual request.

So, when I write down all of my ideas and thoughts on paper, I feel like I'm contributing to the preservation of an important talent, and collecting and purchasing stationery seems like a reasonable price to pay.
