  • Pirate!

    I have been invited to join many zoom meetings where I shared this lesson.  Some students were not able to be there or came in too late after we were almost finished drawing, and some classes it just hasn't been possible for me to come.  So, I thought I would post this lesson on here so you could join with us in a different way. There is a picture book, a video of me doing the drawing and I included a WORD document with a black and white picture you could print out for YOUNGER siblings!  You draw your own pirate because I KNOW YOU CAN DO AN AMAZING JOB!

    Please join us in showing our support and THANKS to our local Health Care Heroes by Painting Rocks for the month of MAY!

    At all the Elementary Schools in Wasatch County there is a sign and a box either at the main enterance or where students are picking up lunches for students to dropoff painted rocks.  I will pick up the rocks and place them at the hospital every Thursday.  We want to create something that will make our Health Care workers SMILE as they enter and leave the hospital.  I will post pictures on the various school Facebook pages after we place them outside the hospital.  

    Please paint the rocks with:

    * something that makes you happy

    * something that will make someone else happy

    * something inspiring!

    BIRDS! 

    b by Amy Boehme

    We will be studying BIRDS this week!  Start with learning about James John Audubon who was an artist and why we have the Audubon Society today.  My friend, Ms. Boehme, is a BTSALP art teacher in the Jordan School District tells us about him and shows us some of his art!

    My friend and our Guest Art Teacher Ms. Boehme tells us -   Who Was James John Audubon?

    Ms. Brown will show you how to use the Audubon Society Website to find interesting birds, hear bird calls, see where they live, and find out all kinds of other information about specific birds.  Then you can go to the Audubon Society Website yourself and pick a bird to draw.

    Once you have picked a bird to draw, watch Ms. Brown's DEMO on drawing birds with shapes.

    ***More Art Activities with BIRDS will be coming- but first we have to work on our basic bird drawing skills!  So try sketching more than one bird- try different images of the same bird!

    Butterfly Lifecycle and Art-

    Students can observe the lifecycle of a butterfly through video and create art inspired by butterflies.  Students can label the body parts of their butterfly.   Students can create art inspired by butterflies and their life cycle.  As you create look at the lines, shapes, colors, and textures of the butterflies- for example look closely at the texture of the egg the caterpillar come out of- it has bumps on it.  Pay attention to those details! Write a paragraph about the stages of butterfly lifecycle using first, next, then, and last.
