Annunal Student Art Show

-

So here are a few pictures from my Annual Student Art Show. The Art Show was awesome this year I had student volunteers to help label, glue, paint and set up (stress free!)




We filled the gym and had to move to the halls.






This year we added a flip book table it was a big hit.




The affirmation box is always successful and makes the students feel really good about themselves.  Each students is given the opportunity to write a positive comment for their fellow peer artist. Later in the week we deliver the affrimations to each artist.

One of my favorite modern/Instagram artist to teach about is Chris Riggs, his work is simple but edgy and has a great message of love. I decided to use his layering style in a cut paper collage project for my middle school students. I used a video to demonstrate the cutting technique and once they got that, the rest was history.   Supplies needed: 12x18 Black or white construction paper 5x5 inch construction paper variety of colors Scissors Glue Pencil and eraser   Loved how students tried new shapes to create their design.

Paper Weaving

-

Teaching the weaving process has not always been easy for me to teach. Students struggle with the concept of over and under and being able to see the pattern. That all changed for me when I decided to create these large paper looms. Students were given more practice and able to work with their peers for extra guided practice. To make this even better, I turn it into sort of a competition, the group that finishes first and does it correctly may move on to the individual paper looms. They love the intrinsic reward of finishing and moving to the next task.  I hope that this helps you if you struggle like I did with paper weaving.  Each student gets one strip to weave correctly. Students may verbally assist each other in their own group.
