@Sommer_art Hello! Welcome to the 2015-2016 School year! I am so excited to be a part of the Patsy Sommer Elementary Special's team this year. We are all looking forward to a fun and creative year. I am entering my 7th year as an educator, and my 4th year as an Art Educator. I believe that Art education is essential to develop well-rounded, lifelong learners.
School's out for summer! That doesn't mean you have to stop being creative though. Here is a list of things of things you and your family can do over the summer to keep creating!
1. Visit an art museum while on vacation or in Austin. The Blanton Museum of Art, and Laguna Gloria are both great local destinations. Documentation possibilities: a photograph of you at the art museum, a postcard from the gift shop or a sketch you drew of a favorite artwork. 2. Use magazines, photos and your own drawings to create an “About Me” collage. A collage is a work of art made from a variety of materials. See how creative you can be, and take a picture to share when we return to school. 3. Visit these online drawing sites: http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony www.picassohead.com http://artpad.art.com/artpad/painter http://bomomo.com/ 4.Visit the Thinkery. _ 5. Collaborative Artwork: Collaborate with a friend or family member and make a work of art together! 6. Sidewalk Chalk Masterpiece: Use sidewalk chalk in a creative way to make a masterpiece. Take a photo of your finished work. 7. Comic Art: Draw a comic about something that happened to you this summer. Documentation: Turn in the original comic. 8. Fashion: Decorate a t-shirt or sew a piece of clothing! Ideas: tie-dye, stencils, sew something on it, paint pens or fabric paint. Documentation: Bring in the item of clothing or a photo. 9. Building: Using Legos, blocks or other building materials, spend an hour or so designing a unique construction. Take a photograph of your masterpiece. 10. YOUR CHOICE: Come up with a creative activity to do by yourself or with your family. This list was inspired by the wonderful blog: Art is Basic |
