iSilhouette Advertisements
Students learned the history of our nation's postage stamps, while art elements of line, shape, color, texture, and value were introduced. Students also discovered that all stamps are designed by someone before they can be purchased and used. Each student chose a different state to design a stamp for. Each stamp must include the name of the state and also the price of the stamp (45 cents). Students were able to choose at least two more unique items to identify their chosen stamp.
Students used white 11.5" x 16.5" white paper, black Sharpie markers, and crayon to complete their stamp designs. Students were also able to submit their designs to each state in hope to, one day, have them turned into real stamps.

Students learned about silhouettes and how they are sometimes used in advertising. Students looked at iPod advertisements that used silhouetted figures. Students chose an activity that they enjoy and painted a silhouette advertisement of that activity. Students also learned about color gradients and how to use them. Each student chose one color gradient to use on their project. The only word allowed on the advertisement project was the VERB that the activity showed while putting a lowercase "i" in front of it.
Examples: football player would be iTackle or iThrow
Person reading would be iRead
Person snowmobiling would be iRide or iJump

Undiscovered Fish
Students learned about non objective art. They looked at non objective work by artist, Wassily Kandinsky. Students paired non objective art and reptiles together in this project. After discussing what reptiles are, students were able to pick any reptile to work with. The reptiles were decorated with non-objective designs and were placed on top of a non-objective background. Students also learned about relief paintings, which are a cross between a 2D painting and a 3D sculpture. The reptiles actually "pop out" of the background by about a half inch. Students were instructed to choose three colors for the reptile and three different colors for the background to create different color harmonies.

Students learned there are some fish that live very deep in our waters and haven't yet been discovered by humans. Students were able to use their imaginations and create 3D models of what hey think these fish may look like. Students also learned basics in modeling and handling clay and also the process involved in firing ceramics in a kiln. The materials in this project included clay, tempra paint, and clear varnish. Students used the globe to choose a body of water where there fish is from. The kids also named their fish species and wrote five sentences describing them.
