Art at Home: Learning with SNOOPY!

You guys know how much I love Snoopy and the Peanuts gang - well, I was so excited this morning to see that they have created a learning packet just for you that includes Snoopy in Space - so exciting! I hope you will give these a try and send them to me on Artsonia, Seesaw, email, Instagram, or Twitter. Here's the link: http://ymiclassroom.com/lesson-plans/peanutsfamily/

Inspiring Artist Quotes

"I always loved art teachers because they were so bizarre. They were like the homeless people of the faculty -- all disheveled, wearing smocks, covered in paint, always digging through the garbage, looking for bottles and egg cartons and things." -Ted Alexandro

"Give me a museum and I'll fill it." - Pablo Picasso

"If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint." - Edward Hopper

"Creativity takes courage." - Henri Matisse

"One eye sees, the other feels." - Paul Klee

"I paint life as I would like it to be." - Norman Rockwell

"The way to get started is to stop talking and begin doing." - Walt Disney

"From the age of six I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was fifty I had published a universe of designs, but all I have done before the age of seventy is not worth bothering with. At seventy-five I'll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am eighty you will see real progress. At ninety I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At a hundred I shall be a marvelous artist. At a hundred and ten everything I create: a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before. I used to call myself Hokusai, but today I sign myself 'The Old Man Mad About Drawing' (Gakyo-rojin)" - Katsushika Hokusai

Elements of Design:
Line -a path made by a moving point
Shape - an area defined by its outline, geometric or organic
Form - a three-dimensional shape
Value - the lightness or darkness of an object
Color - hues on a spectrum; we use a color wheel made of primary, secondary, and intermediate colors
Texture - the way something feels or appears to feel
Space - the illusion of depth in an artwork

Figure - a body form or shape

Composition - an arrangement of lines, shapes, colors, etc. on a surface

Craftsmanship - using materials correctly and taking care in the production of a piece of art so that it is neatly presented

Studio - a room or space where an artist produces and stores work

Portfolio - a collection of work, or the container that holds the collection

Positive Space - the shape or object that is the focus

Negative space - the area around the positive space; also "leftover" space or background

Media - materials used to make art. Most of our art in the classroom is one, or a combination of, the following:

Drawing: pencil, ink, pastel, chalk, charcoal

Painting: tempera or watercolor

Printmaking: creating multiple images by transferring ink from a stamp or plate

Collage: shapes that are cut and pasted to a surface

Sculpture: clay, metal, cardboard, or other 3-D materials

Textiles: stitchery or weaving

Technology: photography, computer art

Styles of art -

Realistic: objects look as they do in real life

Abstract: objects are based on real-life, but are changed artistically

Nonobjective: a design; no recognizable objects are found other than lines, shapes, colors, etc.
