We will use SHAPES to create a callagraph plate!Here's what you need:
Cut your box completely open on the seams. You will have the front, back, sides, top and bottom pieces all separated! One side of my cereal box will be the background, and I will glue all of my callograph cut out pieces onto this! Begin by planning out your design. Cut out the basic shapes for your design but don't glue them right away. Play around with them until are happy with your design, then glue the pieces in place. Glue your pieces to the background! Once the big shapes are glued down, you can add layers of detail. This part is important because it will make your final design POP!!!! For my houses, I added stripes on the roof, widows, doors - have fun and get creative with your ideas! I added some details to the background - I added a moon and some stars (using a hole punch). Whoops! Do you see how I accidentally glued the front of the box facing up with one of my shapes? That's OK because we will be COVERING this all up later this week! Scroll down for a few more plate ideas! You can create whatever theme you want! o Here is my one house design! I used half of a box for this callograph plate. And this is my LINE design here! The dots are paper hole punch holes! I am actually super excited about this design! TOMORROW - I will be showing you how to use these callagraph plates to make RUBBINGS and on WEDNESDAY I will show you how to wrap these plates in FOIL and color with markers to make them super shiny and FUN! QUESTIONS? Please EMAIL ME!!!!! Have fun creating! -Mrs. Mitchell
In the art studio, we have talked about many different kinds of painting. We have used watercolors, created rainbows, mixed tints and shades and much more! One of my personal favorite ways to create the "main characters" in my own paintings is by painting *around* the colors already on my paper to create the object I wish to paint. If you click this link, you can watch me work on one of my own paintings in my (very cold) art studio in my basement! Even though I use paint in the video, you can do this using crayons on top of crayons, or markers on top of markers. For now, enjoy watching me paint one of my small paintings on wood! Be Well and I miss you all, Mrs. Mitchell Hello CP Smith Artists! Welcome to week 2 of our time away! I can't wait to make art with you again in the studio! This challenge is SUPER SIMPLE and can be done with ANYTHING you have in your house! It's the COLOR SCAVENGER HUNT! Find objects of all colors and arrange them like a color wheel, or a rainbow, or in groups of primary or secondary! Here at Mitchell headquarters, we used Matchbox cars (why do we have so many matchbox cars?????????) to create our wheel. But you can use a random assortment of things to make yours. Once you make yours, have your parents EMAIL ME a photo of your arrangement and I will include it in this Friday's CP Smith Gallery! Questions? Send me an email! Here is a photo of the color wheel that is in our Art Studio at School! You can use this to help you find different colored objects. Please don't worry about it being exact - just HAVE FUN!! Hello my Most Wonderful Artists! And WELCOME To the weekly art gallery ! You are welcome to share ANY Art activities you do while we are away. They do not have to be any of the prompts I have given to you - if you make or draw or build something, send it my way and I will share! I miss making art with you! A "Cute Puppy" drawing by Morgan!! Thanks Art for Kids Hub! The Sprouse girls making art with Mo Willems!Hello Artists!!! Today is the first day of Spring! I hope you are able to get outside and enjoy yourself, and be active. Maybe while you are outside you could look for signs of spring!! A fun thing to do when you go outside is to bring a small piece of paper and a pencil with you, and draw something you see. If you do a drawing, feel free to send it to me and maybe I will include it in my weekly "Smith Art Gallery" which I will post on Fridays here on the BLOG! Happy Creating! Hello my most amazing art students!! I hope you and your families are settling into your new routines. It would make me incredibly happy to have you all keep creating, drawing and looking at art until we are together in the studio again!!! I am going to post some helpful links, projects and ideas several times per week, here and on the art room instagram account! I will also be sharing with you some videos of ME working on my own paintings and drawings. None of these ideas are required, but rather ways you and your families can work together to create some fun art! Just providing some inspiration!! ANY Art making is AWESOME ART MAKING!!! I also wanted to HIGHLY recommend the blog of Elementary Art Teacher Cassie Stephens, who will be offering a "lesson" each day based on a weekly theme. This week the theme is ROBOTS!!!! Today Mrs. Stephens is doing a Cereal Box (or pasta box or cracker box) Callograph at NOON EST!! We are going to make these here at my house too! I met Cassie this fall at the VT Art Ed conference and she really is as awesome and funny as she seems! If you make some art I would LOVE IT (please, please, pretty-please!!!) if you sent it to my school email : [email protected] and if it's ok with your family, I will share it here and/or on the Instagram account in the WEEKLY CP SMITH ART GALLERY! Make sure to tell me which class you are in when you send it so I can also let your classroom teacher know! The CP Smith Art Room has it's own Instagram Account!
