Kindergarten Line Sculptures take II!

This week, kindergarten is learning about lines, and creating a line sculpture! I like to do this lesson each year with these little ones, because it's so fun and they learn a lot! We not only learn about lines and sculptures, but other important things to like how to use a glue stick, fold paper, and follow directions! I originally saw this lesson on the awesome Cassie Stephen's website! Her video tutorial shows you exactly how to do it!

Kindergarten Line Sculpture

Here's some examples from this year's Kindergartners!

5th grade Kimmy Cantrell inspired mask

This week, 5th grade will start their Kimmy Cantrell inspired cardboard relief mask! I was inspired by the Plastiquem blog and the Handmakery blog. They introduced me to this artist and I wanted to share him with my 5th graders!

Here's a link to more information about Kimmy Cantrell!

In short, he's a contemporary artist from Atlanta, who makes beautiful, colorful works of art, out of clay, and his subject matter usually consists of faces. 

So, that's what we're going to create today!

Kindergarten Line Sculptures

This week, Kindergarten is learning about lines, and they're creating their very own line sculpture! I love how well they are listening, how hard they are working, and how unique each little sculpture is! We got our inspiration from, a super fun art teacher in Nashville, Cassie Stephens. Click on her name, and you'll be transported to her UH-MAZING blog.

This project was done in one 45 minute class, so the students were able to take their art home today! I had the strips already cut out, demonstrated how to glue them down on my document camera, and then let them take the reins! I think they did a wonderful job! Here are a few of their finished examples. Great job Kindergarten!!
