What Fun! - by gr.5 Yes, these gorgeous 5th grade paintings, done back in the fall, are actually imitation "batiks" that were created using a resist of toothpaste mixed with Aloe Vera lotion (which I bought in the $1 store). No melted wax! According to the kids: Best Project EVER!!! We used design elements found in Victorian architecture for design motivation for these "batiks". First, tape muslin to a scrap of mat board. Paint over the entire image with tempera - but do NOT use washable tempera. Put in sink and let water run over it to begin to loosen paint. Voila!

They created line drawings using colored pencils inspired by French artist Sonia Delaunay. Delaunay's work is a fine balance of color, shape and line as an abstract form of art. My students were really interested in her work as they saw posters hanging on my wall and in the hall of her work so I took a cue from their interest and decided to develop a lesson around her work. We focused on line first. I had a series of line types on the board and they looked at the different types and chose to overlap two or three of those line types in pencil using rulers, triangles and/or compasses on their paper. They examined the shapes and colored them in using colored pencils. The finished products were very bold and really commanded attention. It was a great first year for me and I look forward to a great summer of rest and lesson planning for next year! Be Well and Enjoy!
