From Your Art Teacher’s Palette!

Many Powerful works of art are being created during the Corona Virus Pandemic.  We are living history my students.  Your lives have been truly effected by this horror of an illness.  Artist around the world are inspired today to create works of art as an expression of their admiration for health care workers, doctors, scientist and researchers and more.  They are also inspired to create a response to the isolation and loneliness of how they are feeling due to this illness.  Some are creating works of art in response of being ill from the virus. 

Search within yourself and see what you have at home that you may create a work this week expressing your own personal feelings of the Corona virus.

You all have a great opportunity to create a work and compete in the Annual Talent Show which is including Visual Arts this year as a form of an art show.  This information was posted on our school Facebook page last week.  Please see below and create a personal work of art so it   may be posted to share with all of us.

 

Attention All My Young Amazing Artist!

Please, please create a work of art for our Talent Show which is including artwork too!!  Send an image of your work to me so I may submit.  I hope you have found the activities I post weekly.  You know that I wish we were together each day.  I miss all of you terribly.  I put wonderful resources with my lessons to help you to advance in your technique and style and would love to see what you are creating.

I pray you are all doing well and you are all in my heart every day.  I believe in each of you and I am so thankful to be your art teacher.  You are each very dear and precious to me.  I believe in each of you and love you all dearly!

5/4 – 8/2020

 

All the rage kids during the Coronavirus Pandemic with art history and master works of art is to select your favorite and virtually recreate a similar setting with you in the masterpiece.  Do not forget about your pets as you select a work that maybe has animals.  This is a fun and creative, expressionistic activity to do while social isolation is so important. 

I hope you will dig into some art history this week and challenge yourself to be creative and do this.  Look up master works of art that you can recreate with tangible items.  You are the sitter in the work whom has been painted.

  The fun then is in sharing yourself with a photo!  Please forward images to me so I may post and share for all our Bay Minette Middle School family to enjoy.  I hope you will be inspired to recreate a work of art at home virtually.  I challenge all my passionate young artist. My daughter shared this with me from Virginia.  She was successful with her Youth Fellowship Kids at her church.  Here are a few images to inspire you.

Remember You are Amazing and I Believe in You!

I Love My Students!

Have fun with this activity and share.

Art Journal Reflective Write

Corona Virus Effects and Art Project

O.K. my dear students.  What I would like for you to do is make a list of changes in your life due to the Corona Virus.  Respond in writing about the insights that come to you through this historical experience.  In other words, what have you learned?  Positive and negative.  How have you grown through this time in your life?  Respond in the manner you would in art class just as artist do!  When artist put their thoughts down in writing inspiration comes to the artist to create a response to their emotions.

This is a very important part of the creative process and experience.

Next comes the project!

View the images of the Corona Virus and read about the scientific information.  Yes, this is an interdisciplinary art activity with science and art.

View the links I am providing for understanding of the virus.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/learning/coronavirus-resources-teaching-learning-and-thinking-critically.html

  Study the images and create your own work of art which expresses how you may feel during this time and the visual stimulus from the images of the virus itself and how it attacks the body.  How it enters the body.  Not all works of art are meant to be beautiful this is very important. Remember, art is an expression of how we feel.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/11/science/how-coronavirus-hijacks-your-cells.html

This is a total mixed-media project.  Anything goes for what you may have on hand at home to create with.  Please make sure you are safe and ask permission of your parents to use certain materials and consider your creative space.  If too messy in other words create in the appropriate space for your home.

I hope you will be inspired and share an image with me of your work.

 

Remember this kids…

We Remember how others make us feel…

I Ms. C Believe in You!

I Think You are Amazing and Awesome!

You are Smart and Control Your Future!

Make Good Choices!

I Love You Dearly and Love Being Your Art Teacher!

I would like for each of you to view the link and see a small sum of the beautiful works of Sun Art.  Be inspired and problem solve what you may create your own Sun Art with.  Please take a photo of your sun and share with me.  You may email the photo to me at pcoffman@bcbe.org

The sun in art is symbolic of many concepts from ancient times until today!  We all know the wonderful saying “Good Morning Sunshine” which expresses a warm and happy person.

To the Native Americans the sun symbolizes life-giving abundance.  The sun gives warmth, light and life.  To the Japanese the sun is iconic for mythological goddess of the sun – Amaterasu.

Palm Frond Paintings

Honors Art

 

Creative Spirit Survivor

On a Deserted Island in Your Own Home

 

Hey Kids!  As I took my walk in my neighborhood the last few weeks I began collecting from everyone’s trash piles the palm fronds that are dead and dried.  I shared this exercise with some of you before school was out.  So here we go as we live through and create during this historical time in history COVID - 19!

 Palm fronds Activity

  One of this week’s art activities is using palm fronds as a canvas for painting.  This is absolutely an outdoors project with old clothing on.  Gather your materials first!   Each of you will have various supplies at your home to create art onto the palms.  You may create with paints of a variety of sorts with what you have on hand and what your parents may allow, so please ask if first if you attempt this creative and fun exercise.

  This can be very experimental and “Think out of the Box”.  It can be a great way to use up old cans of latex house paints that may eventually be tossed.  (Make sure you are not allergic and you ask permission first, very important)!  If you have artistic acrylic paint of craft type these are great like we often use in art class, (on our Mardi Gras mask).  You can use these with old latex house paint to tint small amounts of the paint.  Gather as many old throw away containers from the recycle bin at your home to reuse.  Of course, in art class we use old dishes that can be reused and washed and our sturdy paper plates for paint pallets.

  You may use a variety of tools for paint brushes even cleaning brushes, old cosmetic brushes, sponges, paper towels rolled up to apply paint.  If you have paint brushes even house paint brushes great!  If not be innovative!  Create something to paint with even old rags and you may rub the paint on as though you are staining wood.  This is a fun activity and not meant to be a perfectionist work of art but rather decorative for summertime.  The finished project may be used on a porch or even a corner in you room.

Please be safe with all supplies you may use and please be safe in your neighborhoods walking and collecting the palm fronds!

The wonderful fun part of this is it is a primitive type of art and expressive too.  The palm fronds can have a function which puts our art this week into the category of Functional Art!  These can be placed in a container for shade or to make a screen for on a porch.  Palm fronds have been used for thatching on roofs in tropical places for centuries.  Of course, they are a decorative art as well!  Have Fun!!!
