VOLUME 44 ISSUE 3 October 2017

The digital art work pictured to the right and below was done by third grade students at Incarnate Word Elemen-tary with assistance from art teacher Carol Bitonti. For the lesson students were explor-ing ways to use Ipads in the art classrooms. Students create the art using the Kalei-doPaint app. Students were asked to create images of stained glass windows, using repeated patterns. The app allows one to choose line thickness, color, and different patterns. Students use their fingers to draw the lines. If a student does not like some-thing the app allows them to undo and try something else. The app allows students to experience success in art, even if they do not think they are artists.

As you are preparing your lessons each day or creating the program for a concert keep in mind that everything you do with your students should tie into the National Arts Standards www.nationalartsstandards.org/. The National Arts Standards include all fine arts disciplines including dance, media arts, music,

theatre and visual arts and were first introduced in 2014. The goal of the standards is to highlight students use of critical thinking skills and the use of the artistic process which includes creating, performing/presenting/producing, responding and connecting. There are eleven anchor standards that lessons and programs should strive to meet as you plan. If your lessons a line with the standards you will see how your students will become focused independent artist. The standards are broken up into different categories based on the artistic process. The first category is Creating, the idea of conceiving and developing new artistic ideas and work. These standards deal with the planning of a work of art. The standards include: 1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. 2. Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. 3. Refine and complete artistic work.

I hope to highlight the rest of the anchor standards over the next few months. Have you been looking for a way to talk to your colleagues more, ask them questions and bounce ideas around because you are the only fine arts teacher in your school? Join the new St. Louis Catholic Fine Arts Educators Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1340427772722747/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel .

Follow me on Twitter (@kenlederle) and Pinterest (www.pinterest.com/kenlederle). I hope to highlight our schools’ great programs, and make everyone aware of new ideas and opportunities sooner!

Great Gate of Kiev -C Creative Movement Grades 3-5

https://dmsymphony.org/academy/classes-and-programs/school-programs/

Applicable Common Core Standard: SL3.3 Ask and answer question about information from a speaker, offering appropriate

elaboration and detail. Applicable National Core Art Standard (NCAS): Re7.1.3 Demonstrate and explain how selected music connects to and is

influenced by specific interests, experiences, purposes or contexts. Objectives: Analyze and write about how a song’s lyrics can evoke feelings. Materials:

Audio recording of Mussorgsky’s Great Gate of Kieve from Pictures at an Exhibition Visuals of town gates Visuals of Victor Hartmann’s art work used in Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition

Procedure:

1. Play a musical detective game: As a class listen to the first 30 seconds of the Great Gate of Kieve. Pair up the students and ask them to answer the following questions:

A. Where might you hear this music played? B. What instruments are playing? C. Is the tempo fast, medium or slow? D. Is the texture THIN or THICK? (few instruments or many) E. What country do you think this music comes from?

2. After students have discussed their answers with each other have groups report their answers to the class.

3. Inform the students about Modest Mossorgsky:

Modest Mussorgsky was a Russian composer who wrote Pictures at an Exhibition in 1874. He worked quickly on this music, writing ten pieces for solo piano in only six weeks’ time. This music was based on artwork by Mussorgsky’s friend, Victor Hartmann. Hartmann died suddenly leaving many friends surprised and sad so they planned an exhibition of Hartmann’s works to honor his memory. Mussorgsky even loaned some of his own personal artwork by Hartmann for the exhibition. To honor his friend, Mussorgsky wrote music to represent ten art works from the exhibition. He wrote a work called “Promenade” which provided the music for walking from one painting to the next. Promenade begins the entire work and is heard again two more times before the piece ends. Mussorgsky’s music did not become well-known until 1922, when a French composer named Maurice Ravel orchestrated the piano music for orchestra. Since that time, Pictures at an Exhibition has become one of Mussorgsky’s most famous and beloved musical works. While playing the music, show visuals of town gates from across the world. Begin with Hartmann’s art work of the gate. “The town leaders of Kiev, Russia, asked architects to submit drawings for a stone gate they wanted to build in honor of Czar Alexander II. This is the drawing that Victor Hartmann submitted.” Show the location of Kiev on a world map.

4. To start the creative movement activity the teacher should stand in front of the class and the students should be scattered throughout the room, each with a space around their body. Start the music for The Great Gate of Kieve at 2’5” (woodwind choir section) and let it play for 1 minute.

5. Teacher leads students in sustained, graceful movements with arms and body to match the mood of the music. Students respond as though they are the teacher’s mirror image.

6. Partner the students off and ask them to take turns being the leader of the mirror movement. Begin the music where you left off when the teacher was the leader (3’5”) and let the students create movement to match the music.

9

Great Gate of Kiev -C Creative Movement (continued)

8. As the students are moving remind students:

A. Begin movements at a low level, end at a high level B. Begin movements close together, and end farther apart C. Use high/ medium/ and low levels D. Use other parts of your body besides only the arms. E. Use large movements, and small movements.

9. Show examples of the gate the piece and based on and pictures of other gates or entrances to cities, towns or building complexes.

10. Break the students into groups of 5-6 students and ask them to create a gate through movement.

11. Prompt the students with the following questions:

A. What is the shape of the Gate? Is it tall and narrow, wide and short? B. Will it have something on top? A flag, bell tower, statue. . . C. Will it be stationary or have moving parts? D. Once the music starts how will everyone get into position that fits the mood/ character of the music?

(no talking; use flowing or grand movements?)

12. Give students 14 minutes to design their gate. (Practice 6 minutes with no music, then 4 minutes with music, 4 minutes to practice getting into position in the character of the music.)

13. Each group performs for the class.

14. Informally assess the students by asking students to share what they liked about each others gates. Ask students to write what they feel their group did well during the exercise.

https://arttoremember.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/AtRLessonPendulumPainting1.pdf

Applicable Common Core Standard: 4.G Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines

and angles.

Applicable National Core Art Standard (NCAS): Cr2.1.4a Explore and invent art-making techniques and approaches.

Objectives: Students will visually see the effect of gravity on a moving object. Students will create a patter using a spherical pendulum Students will predict how variables will change the look of a painting.

Materials:

Place to hang a pendulum String Metal Washer 1 large paper cup Small Waxed Paper Cups Paint (mixed with equal parts water) 1 Sharp Pencil Newspaper Art Paper Sharpie marker Water Color Pain

Procedure:

1. Tie a string between two objects to create he location for the pendulum. Find a location that is flat and the objects must be tall enough so that a second string can hang from the first 8-12 inches down.

2. Tie a washer onto the end of the string hanging down from the first string. Next bend the paperclip into a “W” shape and slip it onto the washer.

3. Poke a hole in the bottom of a paper cup with a pencil. Then poke a hole on each side of the top of the cup and slip the paper clip through the holes to make a bucket on your pendulum.

4. Holding a finger over the hole on the bottom of the cub, grasp the cup and pour a bit of paint in the cup—it should be the consistency of ink.

5. When releasing your cup, aim it at a slight curve so that it will travel in a circular direction.

6. Let the art work dry flat before starting next step.

7. Plan out a picture to integrate with the spiral background suing a cut-out of a drawing or a stencil to trace tonto your paper in pencil. Trace with Sharpie for a bold outline.

Applicable National Core Art Standard (NCAS): Cr.1.1.Ka Engage in exploration and imaginative play with materials.

Objectives: Students will visually see the effect of gravity on a moving object. Students will create a patter using a spherical pendulum Students will predict how variables will change the look of a painting.

Materials:

Animated Short Mati and Dada—Jackson Pollock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSYo-98fO1Y Prints, pictures, online photos of Jackson Pollock’s work. Aluminum trays White paper, Tempra paint marble

Procedure:

1. Show the animated short Mati and Dada—Jacksons Pollock to the class. Ask students what was interesting about Jackson Pollock’s artwork? How was it different?

2. As a class look at some of Pollock’s work. Play a game of “I Spy”...what do students “spy” in the painting? How did Pollock use the world around him to create art?

3. Explore the idea of gravity. Ask students to predict what would happen if we dropped a marble on the floor/ Would it bounce? Then conduct the experiment. Repeat this with a tennis ball. What is the same? What is different?

4. Explain that students will be creating their own forces of motion Pollock-inspired painting. Provide each student with a n aluminum tray, a piece of white paper, access to several bottles of tempra paint, and a marble.

5. Ask students to think about what colors would work best together. They need to think about color mixing; what primary colors would make a nice secondary color.

6. Place a piece of paper in the tray then push the paint onto the center of the paper from the bottles.

7. Drop a few marbles on the tray with the paper and paint. The marble will pull the paint around the paper by tipping the container gently back and forth. Continue until students consider the painting complete.
