<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is a fabulous art lesson to learn about a current artist and an alternative way to create pumpkin art. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not your everyday art.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The students explored basic design principles with opposites to create contrast within their composition: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1- black vs white </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2- line design vs dots</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3- warm colors (usually lighter) vs cool colors (usually darker)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The artwork explains itself, but here are simple directions just in case.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">First the kids picked from either light/warm or dark/cool color papers to draw their pumpkin on.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Next, if they picked a warm/lighter color, then they painted with black dots. If they drew their pumpkin on a cool/dark color, they painted white dots on their pumpkin. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When painting the pumpkins we started in the middle of each pumpkin section. We dipped our thumb to make the larger dots, then a pencil eraser top for the next size, and then a pencil tip for the smallest size. If the students were able to follow those directions, their dot design really popped!</span></li>
</ul>

<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once the pumpkins were dry, we cut the pumpkins out and used the opposite warm/cool or light/dark color for the back ground. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If their dots were black, then they created a triangle design background with white. You get the idea. </span></span></li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I just want to kiss and hug my bear!" exclaimed one of the kindergarten students. For real, me too. They look so soft and fuzzy. But they're not. If only we could snuggle up to a polar bear. I would be selfish to keep all of these adorable bears to myself. So I'm sharing...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a super easy art project for kids at any age to experiment with chalkboard chalk. They can create and learn soft and sharp lines with smudging and smearing. These kindergarteners (80+) had such a blast with this art project. I loved it because they ALL created amazing polar bear faces and are artists in practice! Whatever we can do to get them to think, draw, cut, and glue - super good skills for any age. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used canvas material (can find at a any material store in bulk) instead of paper, for this project because I wanted it resemble the texture of a real flag.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I regret I didn't end up with too many photos of this project while working on it with the kids. I had to watch them like a hawk!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1- Please first go to <a href="http://candiceashmentart.blogspot.com/2012/04/reduce-reuse-recycle-newspaper-abe.html" target="_blank">Newspaper Abe {Tutorial}</a> to see all of the steps that I will not be covering.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2- First I projected and traced an image of Pres. Washington and then the United States Flag. I used black permanent marker for Washington and for the flag I used blue & red material markers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3- Then I cut the blue rectangle with stars out, and the red stripes out of the flag. I didn't want the students to accidentally write on the white part of the flag or use red on the blue part of the flag or vice versa so we kept them in separate stations. (If you were to make this with an older group, you wouldn't need to cut it out. I would bet that they would not cross colors).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">5- Next I laid out the complete image onto the wood board, then adhered the canvas strips with Mod Podge one by one. I used plastic wrap and books, just like I showed you in the <a href="http://candiceashmentart.blogspot.com/2012/04/reduce-reuse-recycle-newspaper-abe.html" target="_blank">Newspaper Abe Tutorial</a>. Refer to that tutorial if you have any questions on this process.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2- I used this <span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><a href="http://thenewamericanspirit.com/" target="_blank">Declaration of Independence</a></span> and this image of <a href="http://worldartsme.com/thomas-jefferson-clipart.html#gal_post_88726_thomas-jefferson-clipart-1.jpg" target="_blank">Thomas Jefferson</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I know this is a little late after Christmas but I had to share. I have been totally digging "felt anything" for about a year now. I made these little felt babies and put them in our Christmas 25-day advent calendar. Inside each advent pocket for each day we had a New Testament Bible scripture leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ and a small gift. My kids happily received their baby Jesus's! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Each Christmas in our family we have tried to make small gifts for each other. My kids seem to cherish those presents more than the store-bought ones. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I made these as Nativity baby Jesus ornaments, but they could be little babies to play with year-round. I found the image on </span><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.marieclaireidees.com/,petites-poupees,12266,58524,3#imageGNRGalerie" target="_blank">Marie Claire Idees</a></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> and created my own pattern.

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I just realized that I have been making and painting ceramic Christmas ornaments with our elementary school s</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">ince my son was in preschool.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> He is now in 4th grade, so it has been 6 years in a row! Originally I was able to use the local university kiln, but I recently purchased my own kiln. It has been much easier for me to fire close by. I am not able to glaze (the shiny coat) and fire ornaments in the Winter due to the super cold temperature in my garage! The glaze would crack right off after being fired because it needs to cool very very slowly. So we painted the ornaments after the first (bisque) firing was complete. </span></div>

<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year with the help of other teachers and moms we cookie-cut, fired, and painted 90+ kindergarten and 20+ 4th grade elementary students' Christmas Ornaments! I loved every moment of it. This is what it's about.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank goodness my 2 year-old was able to play at a friend's house while we painted the ornaments at the school. This picture was taken at home, during our mommy "paint date." He's a super awesome painter when I don't leave him on his own. I cherish creating memories and hand-eye cordination skills at the same time. </span></div>

I'm a bit of a sentimental hoarder. You can find the wood slice ornaments and wood burner at your local craft store or on Amazon. These are year-round keepers. I want to make more for other occasions besides Christmas.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A month ago our family was challenged to make a list of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>1000 things we are thankful</i></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> for.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #93c47d;">I absolutely love pumpkins - the color, shape, nostalgia, Halloween decor, and of course the many pumpkins desserts I can make or eat! Yummy. Our kids like to place them all over our porch during Halloween and Harvest time.</span></span></span></div>

It was our first garden in Idaho since we moved from Oregon. Clearly I do not have a green thumb.</span> </span></span></span></div>

Yay! They are gifted gardeners and have many varieties of everything! </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #93c47d;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Here are just a few of my favorite "Pumpkin Pretties" scattered throughout their lovely farm. Compliments of S. Sutton herself- she has a lovely eye for mixing natural objects and antique together.</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">I wanted to have my kids create table mats that could last a long time and remind them of "Family Good Times." So I asked them to think of a favorite family activity or a favorite food that we all enjoy. Then when they looked at them while sitting and eating at the dinner table they could remember the good experiences we have as a family! I also wanted them to create something with tissue paper (not achooo paper) and paint. I am completely obsessed with tissue paper and acrylic paint because the paint comes out so bright and colorful! I loved how these turned out, and I'm going to have my kids paint mine and hubby's too! This simple art project will last a long time for wonderful memories at the dinner table. </span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Step 4: Cut (adult help) out the paintings from the tissue paper and arrange on inside the pouch. (tip 1: Dab a very little amount of glue stick to the back side of each object so they won't move. tip 2: You can cut along the black lines tight, or you can leave it as a sheet of tissue paper like we did for our 2 1/2 year-old. tip 3: Touch up artwork with permanent marker.)</span><br />

Oh yeah, that would be nice right? Why didn't I think of that? </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I wanted to create a collaborative, but individual, art project for the 4th-graders to incorporate their own hands- designing them with various lines and shapes, just using black and white permanent markers on cards stock. Excellent art exercise for shape, line design, and hand tracing for any age. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It's almost humorous to look at my blog for the first time in a while and realize that it really has been this long (4 mos! yikes) since I have posted! Well, I'm back and I'm excited to share a few projects that I have worked on over this Summer. If you've read any of my recent posts, you may remember that I "recently" had a baby in March. Yes, it has been 6 months since then and we have enjoyed having a little one in our home-but it has been challenging (4 kids)! </span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">To make a long story short: I felt like my body recuperated quickly from the birth, but then went downhill... I have had trouble with my energy level, my body felt so heavy and slow, I was cold when it was hot outside, my balance was off, I started gaining weight when I was eating healthy and exercising, and it was exhausting to talk and chew (those are very important functions Yo! Right?)... </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Anyway, finally figured out that I have a malfunctioning thyroid and I am excited for modern medicine to kick in! I feel like I will get my life back again!</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffd966;">When the CROCUS flowers pop out of the ground, I know it's Spring, yay! I took these photos a few weeks ago when the sun had gone down and it was getting a little chilly out. The colors are so bright and full of light. My little 2 1/2 year-old started picking them-so we put them in a flower press. I love her little chubby arms.</span></span></span></div>
