Murals and shacks

Can you tell I'm trying to catch up on my sadly neglected blog? Doubling up on the content for each post :).
Fourth graders learned about community murals and their purposes - beautification, advertising, sharing a message. We drew plans on printed images and  used a planning sheet for working out/explaining what the intention of our mural was.











First graders looked at the art of Beverly Buchanan and created 3-D shacks from recycled materials we saved in the art room. Folk artists often use what they have or find rather than buying specific art materials.

7 Mindsets Mural & FAN reminder

My 500th post!

***UPDATE: student illustration coloring sheets and mural plan now available for you here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Character-Ed-illustrations-7-coloring-sheets-bulletin-board-plan-2615668

Tomorrow night, Thursday May 5, is Fine Arts Night, so don't forget to come on out and see the fantastic art show! Also unveiling tomorrow night is our completed 7 Mindsets mural in the main hallway. It has been a work in progress all year as we studied each monthly mindset.
The design was inspired by my own childhood - I was always excited and energized by designs I saw on tv shows like Schoolhouse Rock and The Electric Company. Here are a few more pics from the progression...

Here are the first notes and thumbnails

A draft for projection

I made coloring sheets for each mindset so the students could join in

The real deal...
