This is an experience Berry 6th graders have had this week in art class. Darren Goodman is our visiting artist and he calls his presentation Glass Experience. This is our third year welcoming Darren to our school to have him share his life lessons, art and songs. Two years ago my students collaborated on a project with Darren that was installed at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.<br />

This unique encounter with an artist includes a hand-made, one of a kind portable glass furnace. His captivating presentation points out many meaningful messages each connecting to one another with fluidity and grace.<br />

One of the first things he says to my students is to ask the question, "Does anyone know where glass came from?" When the students answer without hesitation that glass comes from sand, he asks "Where does sand come from?" The students confidently answer "...from broken up rocks!" They know because they are studying rocks in science!<br />

A connection with social studies is made as Darren explains that the ancient Egyptians made the first vessels using glass cane. He then goes on to demonstrate the connection of glass with the future, an extension of the very first glass technology. <br />

Race cars! Ferraris to be exact! That is the topic of a story Darren tells about how he was asked to create the trophies for the Ferrari Challenge. Making these red, glass trophies was very challenging because working with red glass is difficult. One day an in progress trophy got too hot and fell to the floor.<br />

He was angry at first but then realized that a gift was given to him. He decided to call this new shape a Tear of Joy. He continued to make more and more of these Tears of Joy and ended up showing them in galleries and museums. The lesson that is learned is the tears are very thin but also very strong because of their shape. Each tear is unique and displayed in a group where their message is the strongest, just like people in communities working together as one. </div>

All of this is done while Darren plays a recording of some songs that he wrote himself! If that is not enough music for you, he then answers questions at the end of the presentation in song. He ends everything on a good note by playing his guitar (that looks like glass but is really made of plastic) with a glass cane that he made during the presentation. Genius!<br />

My students leave this presentation wanting more and that is the best way to end a class period in any subject! I plan on having the students use glass in a project later on this year. I will post about it when we get to that lesson! <br />

This summer I was so much inspired by the website <a href="https://www.theartofed.com/" target="_blank">The Art of Education</a>! I attended their <a href="https://www.theartofed.com/products/event/summer-2016-art-ed-now/" target="_blank">Art Ed Now National Online Conference</a> and I also started listening to their Podcast, Art Ed Radio. This summer was just one big fireball PD summer for me and my art room and lessons are going to show it! <br />
<br />
I recently read an article on The Art of Education called <a href="https://www.theartofed.com/2016/07/27/power-branding-classroom/" target="_blank">How to Grab Your Students' Attention by Branding Your Classroom</a>. The article suggests to choose a theme and use images from the theme throughout the room in decor, props and classroom management plan. I was looking for a way to catch the attention of my students and when I read this article I could not pass up the opportunity to change the face of my classroom.<br />
<br />
I chose the theme "Art Is Out Of This World!" Anything "outer space" fits this theme! I collected a bunch of toys and decor of my own two sons that fell in the outer space category, and created an arrangement in the display case outside my art room door. I created posters and space decor to put up around the room. The poster pictured above is on my door. Below you can see it in its entirety. <br />

This is my behavior management system. I changed the look of it but the way it works is the same tried and true method I've been using for a few years now. The class begins with three points. Misbehavior or a loud noise level will cause the class to loose points. At the end of class if they still have three points the class moves their clip forward a space on the "game board". When the class gets to the rocket they earn a reward day. Reward days are free days with art stations!</div>

Summer time is a perfect time for teachers to catch up on professional development. Quite a few professional development opportunities have been offered by Greater Cincinnati area organizations. I wish I could take them all but there is not enough time (or money) to do it all! I had to choose wisely and I think my choice was a good one! Last week I had the opportunity to take a week long, intensive class from the wonderful ceramic artist, Terri Kern. I have pictured one of her pieces above but you can also see more of her work <a href="http://terrikern.com/" target="_blank">here.</a> The workshop was offered at <a href="http://www.queencityclay.com/" target="_blank">Queen City Clay</a>, a public clay studio here in Cincinnati. Just stepping into this place will inspire you to make something! It is a dream come true for artists, and I got to spend five days there being taught by a professional artist and surrounded by other students who are artists and teachers. We learned so much from Terri and each other all week long!</div>

Terri Kern's artwork is rich with symbolism, telling stories about herself and those she loves. Each piece has hours invested in beautiful craftsmanship. The unique imagery of animals and objects is a fantasy for your eyes to get lost in. </div>

The morning of the first day Terri shared with us about her background and how she got to where she is today. Her life experiences inspire her art. When she was a young girl she went to day camp at the natural history museum. She remembers being one of the first people allowed in the museum in the mornings and seeing the exhibits of natural objects with lights on them. This influenced her greatly and today her art work reflects that precious experience. Terri's work is very personal and I feel that is one reason her artwork is successful.</div>

Each day of the workshop Terri would give us a demonstration in the morning and in the afternoon, allowing us to have the remainder of the time to work on the project assignments that she had given us. She was so good at continually checking with each student in the workshop to see how we were doing and to give us our own personal demonstrations if we needed help!</div>

Terri uses mostly underglazes for her designs. The first project involved a sgraffito technique on a glazed background of blended yellows, oranges and reds. Sgraffito is a technique of carving into the glazed surface of a ceramic piece. We first transferred our design onto the background color with pencil and then began painting the design in black. As the black glaze dried we scratched into it with various tools. Above is my tile before it was fired and also before it got the coat of clear gloss glaze. </div>

The second day we did a design on a new tile that involved a sgraffito technique that was faster, scratching into a semi-wet, glazed surface. This was on a black, glazed background. I liked doing this technique a lot! She also taught us about blending the colors before scratching into the glaze. Above is my little interpretation of a dessert I make with strawberries, blueberries and kiwi. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have always known that craftsmanship is important, but this workshop really emphasized that for me. Terri reinforced how important it is to keep trying and practicing to get better and find the best way to do something. When she is working on her pieces she makes sure that each little part is done with her best effort and if she gets tired she takes a break, so that when she comes back to it she can continue to do the best work she can. When someone owns that piece they will see the close attention and thoughtfulness that she put into every part. </div>

Now when I am working on my own artwork I am thinking about being careful and giving it that high amount of attention. </div>

This cocktail cup (above) by Terri was first painted with black glaze, and then while it was still wet, the sgraffito technique was used to create the design, complete with a cocktail recipe. The glaze is applied to the cup while it is still greenware.<br />

The fifth day Terri demonstrated her relief carving. An example of her carving can be seen on the nest pictured earlier in this post. We spent the day finishing up all of the projects of the week. </div>
<br />
In addition to the variety of techniques that I learned in this class, that I can apply to my own art work and my teaching, I took away something else. Terri opened a fresh channel of creativity in making my own art work. She also gave me confidence in putting my work out in the gallery world, which is something that I have been recently working on.<br />
As an art educator it is important to pursue my own creative adventures. This allows me to direct my students more successfully when they are struggling, because I know first hand what it is like to be in that situation. It sets an example for my students, showing them that making art is an important profession that is a part of our community. Making my own art work makes me a better art teacher. <br />

<h2>
Motivation Needed</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its not easy to transition from one class to the next, switch from this project to that, motivate 28 students to return the art room to a presentable, organized state in five minutes or less AND make it fun and something the kids want to do. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I want to share with you a couple of systems that I use in my art room. One that I have been using for the last 18 years and one that I just began this year. Not this school year. This 2016 year, and I'm wondering why I didn't start it sooner because it works so well and the kids love it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Golden Broom (the old trick)</span></h2>
<div>
At the end of each class period, after the students have lined up, I judge how well the class cleaned up, and if they did a good job I award them with a ticket or more to drop in a jar (I have one for each grade). They write their homeroom teacher's name on the ticket. On Friday at the end of the day a ticket is drawn out of each jar and the winners are announced during announcements. The winning classes keep a Golden Broom trophy (a small broom I spray painted gold) in their homeroom for the following week until the next winner is announced. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
Clean-Up Jobs (the new trick)</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would like to thank blogger, <a href="http://cassiestephens.blogspot.com/2016/01/in-art-room-art-teacherin-resolutions.html" target="_blank">Cassie Stephens</a> for giving me the inspiration for this idea. The management method she demonstrates in her blog post gave me the idea for my system.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXp1_SsvpweF_uhTv9UywN0vxIskSMWtj8bC45ngREfaS2xhmMpQtyeiE-FjQ9dFqerKiB7jDcUnOiPyNsiELy1Wvh66_Ctb7aBzxkK9aMGG4icFm2gQ24HDqati6XfTRYbsYHhCX2iQ/s1600/IMG_8987.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXp1_SsvpweF_uhTv9UywN0vxIskSMWtj8bC45ngREfaS2xhmMpQtyeiE-FjQ9dFqerKiB7jDcUnOiPyNsiELy1Wvh66_Ctb7aBzxkK9aMGG4icFm2gQ24HDqati6XfTRYbsYHhCX2iQ/s640/IMG_8987.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div>
When students are finished with their project for the day, they go over to this poster and select a clip from the poster that has a job written on it. </div>
<div>
I made a clip for each job needed to clean up after any project we do. Different clips are put on the poster each day or class period depending on the project we are doing. This gives the students more ownership for organizing and cleaning up the art room. When students finish for the day they flock to the poster to choose a job and they love being in charge of what they choose to do. My favorite is the "shelf keeper." This works very well for 3-D projects. The shelf keeper directs students where to put their projects and checks if the name and class code is written on it and anything else that needs to be checked. For example if there is glaze on the bottom of a clay piece they either wipe it off or send it back and have the owner of the piece fix the problem. It frees me to be able to continue to circulate around the room and assist students. The clips are attached the students' clothing so I know who is doing what. The students return the clips before they leave. This system is great for keeping those mobile kids busy!</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Peace and Good Luck!</span></span></h2>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Each year my 5th graders make a Chinese New Year hanging medallion. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Here are the "I Can" statements that I post in the room for this project:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">I can:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Explore the art of Chinese calligraphy.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Demonstrate carving in clay.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Demonstrate good craftsmanship in constructing, carving and glazing.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">We begin by talking about some Chinese New Year traditions and the differences and similarities of our New Year celebrations and those in China. The students practice writing Chinese symbols on red paper. I provide handouts of symbols of the animals in the Chinese Zodiac and some other chinese words for prosperity in the new year. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Constructing a clay disk:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">The students each receive a piece of clay that they shape into a ball. The ball is then flattened by pushing it down with the palm of the hand onto the student's work mat (burlap). The student smooths out the rough spots and when they are happy with their disk they copy a Chinese symbol onto the clay by lightly scratching it into the surface. Then the symbol is carved using a clay wire tool over the lines that were scratched, making them deeper. The students then create a design around the symbol with clay tools and other objects that can be used to push into the clay to create texture. A hole is made at the top and the bottom and the student writes his or her name on the back and their class code. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">The students use red glaze because red is the color of the Chinese New Year and it is a symbol of good luck. After the clay pieces are finished I show the students how to make a tassel with yarn and they tie it on the bottom. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Make a tassel:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">1. Wrap yarn around a piece of 6" cardboard 15-20 times. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">2. Tie a piece of yarn around all the strands on one side of the cardboard. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">3. Turn the cardboard over and cut through all of the pieces of yarn. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">4. You will have something that looks kind of like a mustache. Make the mustache into a ghost by gathering all of the strands together. Tie a string around the top part so it looks like the "ghost" has a head. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">5. You are finished making your tassel!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>

Function and Beauty</h2>
<div>
These whimsical little pinch pots were made by 6th graders. The students were required to create texture on the outside and inside of the pot. After the pinch pots were glazed and fired the students embellished them with beads and wire. Two choices they had were weaving wire in and out all the way around the pot, or creating a handle with the beads and wire. See another project using clay pinch pots <a href="http://artfromonethousandhearts.blogspot.com/2015/02/shelf-sitters.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<div>
The Berry 5th graders recently completed a watercolor/sillhouette project dedicated to the people of Paris, France in response to the November 13th terrorist attacks. I wanted to allow the students to speak about this tragic event through their own visual art. It is difficult to understand why things like this happen and sometimes it is easier to make art about how we feel than it is to talk about it, and this can help us heal. </div>
<div>
This project idea came from the blog by wonderful art teacher and blogger extraordinaire, <a href="http://cassiestephens.blogspot.com/2012/12/in-art-room-parisian-silhouettes.html" target="_blank">Cassie Stephens</a>. Thanks, Cassie! </div>
<div>
We started out by learning some French words and wrote them on white paper. I selected a list of words that surrounded the topic of surviving a tragedy and that were uplifting. The words were provided for the students to copy in French. The students painted their backgrounds with liquid watercolors. The colors of these paints are very vibrant, and the students were required to use either cool or warm colors. We sprinkled salt on the wet paint and when it dried the salt crystalized, creating a beautiful effect.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next step was to cut out our silhouettes. There were three parts to this: the Paris skyline, a monument and something in the sky. I gave the students a choice between the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffle Tower. They also had a choice of what to make in the sky. </div>

<div>
I gave the students a demonstration for folding the paper and drawing half of the object and cutting it with the paper folded. This way they get a symmetrical design. This technique was used for the Eiffle Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the Paris skyline and the hot air balloon. </div>

Opening up the Elements</h2>
<div>
Recently the 6th graders each completed an accordion book about the elements of art! This great project idea was gleaned from the blog <a href="https://stocktonvapa.wordpress.com/tag/7-8-visual-arts-lesson-plan/" target="_blank">A Day in the Life of an Art Teacher</a>. Each page of the book illustrates a different element of art. The students were able to choose from four different painting techniques to create the cover for their book: sponge painting, blending colors, splatter painting (oh my!) and water color/salt technique. This resulted in a variety of book covers that proved to be an array of visual stimulation! The following week, when the covers were dry the students wrote the title of their book including their name which gave the books a more personal touch. The books allow me to assess each student's understanding of each art element. </div>

Chalk Landscapes</h2>
<div>
The berry sixth graders are creating landscapes that have depth. The students have been learning about how artists show depth in landscape paintings. Back in the fall they completed a one point perspective <a href="http://artfromonethousandhearts.blogspot.com/2015/12/barn-landscapes.html" target="_blank">landscape</a> with a barn. Several techniques were used to show depth including size difference, the height/placement of objects on the paper, atmospheric perspective and one point perspective. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This <a href="http://artfromonethousandhearts.blogspot.com/2014/05/chalk-landsapes.html" target="_blank">chalk landscape</a> is the second in a series of landscape projects the sixth graders are doing this year. The students show their understanding of atmospheric perspective and include a background, middle ground and foreground in their own vibrant chalk landscapes. The next landscape project I have planned will be of silhouettes using more atmospheric perspective and overlapping.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please leave a comment and tell me if you have a good landscape art project! I would love to hear about it!</div>

Berry 5th graders made sea turtle water color resists and the 6th graders made prints of sea creatures. We worked with <a href="http://arttoremember.com/" target="_blank">Art to Remember</a> a company that does fundraisers for schools by printing student artwork on keepsake items for parents to purchase (scroll down to the bottom of the post to see two examples). Below are some of the 5th graders' sea turtles and the 6th graders sea creature prints. The funds will be donated to <a href="http://www.theoceancleanup.com/" target="_blank">The Ocean Cleanup,</a> a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing a method of removing plastic pollution from the Pacific Ocean.<br />

Barn Landscapes in One Point Perspective</h2>
<div>
The 6th graders have recently completed a landscape project. The purpose of this project was to teach the students how to draw a landscape that has depth. They learned how to draw a building in one point perspective and we also explored the concept of atmospheric perspective. The colors that are in the distance seem to be less intense than colors that are closer. The students also included objects appearing to be larger if they were closer and smaller if they were farther away. Color was added with markers and crayons. The students used the markers to outline and then applied water with a paint brush to spread around the color of the markers. Although the students followed specific directions to draw their barns I encouraged them to make their landscape unique. Each person created a different landscape by adding details of their own and I think they were a success! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has been a great start to the year in the Berry Intermediate art room because we are kicking off with a fundraiser to benefit an organization called <a href="http://www.theoceancleanup.com/" target="_blank">The Ocean Cleanup</a>.<br />
<br />
The Ocean Cleanup started out as a high school science project of a boy in the Netherlands. He learned about the plastic pollution problem and couldn't stop thinking about it. Later, in college he invented a method (there was not a good method before this) of removing plastic pollution from the ocean. You can find out a lot more on <a href="http://www.theoceancleanup.com/" target="_blank">The Ocean Cleanup website.</a><br />
<br />
The reason we are doing this project is because I recently learned of the global plastic pollution problem and felt that I wanted to do my part as a piece of the solution instead of living a life that contributes to the problem. <br />
<br />
I felt that the fact that I have almost one thousand growing minds in front of me each week gave me an opportunity to be a model of what we should be doing to counteract this problem. I have explained to my students that there are two things we can do. <br />
<br />
One thing we can do is this fundraiser that we are doing as a school where the students are making art work that will be sent to <a href="http://arttoremember.com/" target="_blank">Art to Remember</a> who will print their art work on gift items their parents can purchase. <br />
<br />
The second thing we can do is make small changes in the way we do things at home, like using reusable shopping bags and reusable water bottles. <br />
<br />
The 5th graders are doing a water color resist of sea turtles for their art work. I will post post pictures when they are finished. They are stunning! The 6th graders are print-making sea creatures and fish. The drawings that they are using for their prints are quite impressive! I can't wait to post pictures of all the finished art work. I am very excited about this project because it is teaching the students to be good to our planet and it will ultimately have a positive impact on our environment! <br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some videos to explain further about the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans. Another recommended documentary is <i>Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch</i>. This documentary can be found on Netflix.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This project came from the blog <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/source/dripdripsplattersplash.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Drip Drip Splatter Splash</a>. I wanted to do this in September for International Dot Day but we were busy back then. I thought this would be a fun one day project with next week being the last week of school. I read the students the book (even the 6th graders are quiet with awe), <i>The Dot</i> by Peter H. Reynolds, and then we paint our own dots! I provided circle stencils for students to trace the dot and they painted with tempera cakes. Too much fun! </div>

This is a fun, simple project that the fifth and sixth graders completed in one or two class periods. I found this idea on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. I was not able to locate the blog that had this project so if anyone knows of it's origin, please let me know! I would like to give proper credit for this idea! Thanks!</div>

The students take a 2"x3" piece of construction paper in the color of their choice and carefully tear it into three pieces. Then they arrange the pieces on a sheet of drawing paper and glue them down. The students then begin to draw a line around one of the pieces, following its shape. When the line reaches where it began there are two choices. One is to close the shape and start again to make a new line and continue this process. The other choice is to continue the one line and spiral around. The student may start tracing around the other pieces at any time. When the line is about to collide with another shape the student can either stop and start again on the other side of the shape or go around both of the shapes. This process is repeated until the paper is full.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fifth graders have been diligently working to complete these self-portraits. They added color to them with tissue paper and Mod Podge. We love Mod Podge in our art room! This art project was a long one and I never thought I would see the end of the little tissue paper pieces all over the place day after day! However, it was worth it!</div>

This week the 5th and 6th graders at Berry Intermediate are each choosing one piece of art work from their portfolios to be displayed in the district art show. Our art show represents grades one through twelve and is held at our high school. I really enjoy this part of getting ready for the art show because the students have been working so hard all year, their portfolios are full and they get to see the result of all of the hard work. Some students have no trouble making a selection and quickly accomplish the task of filling out a name tag and turning in their piece. Others ask for assistance of which I happily give by asking the student to lay out all of their projects, and one by one take away the projects they would not want to turn in. This "whittling down" process makes it easy for them to choose the piece that will be turned in. Below are a few snap-shots of the last three days of art show selection.<br />

In the past I filled out the labels myself but this year I am having the students fill out their own labels and it saves me so much time. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner!<br />

The next couple of weeks will prove to be a marathon of art show preparation (mounting and labeling) all of the pieces that the students have chosen. Luckily, I have the help of a few wonderful parent volunteers and my own two parents to help! Parent volunteers rock! And so do my Mom and Dad!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wrote two Student Learning Objectives, one for 5th grade and one for 6th grade (those are the only two grades that I teach). The 6th grade SLO was all about drawing a landscape that has depth. Below are some of the lessons that I taught. I would have liked to have more time with landscapes. I had more planned but we were not able to get to it all. One of these is a landscape painting using shades and tints to show atmospheric perspective. I got the idea for the lesson <a href="http://nhartgallery.blogspot.ca/2012/12/middle-school-art-tint-and-shade.html?m=1" target="_blank">here</a>. We weren't able to get finished with that one before assessments. I blame all of that on snow days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I write an SLO again about landscape drawing I am going to leave out one point perspective because I feel like that is a whole lesson in itself, aside from everything else I included. </div>

The following are projects that the students of Berry Intermediate have been working on. Currently, the entire school is working in clay and this has been going on since a week or two after Christmas. Sixth graders are making shelf sitters, animals that sit with bead/wire legs. See <a href="http://artfromonethousandhearts.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-zoo-in-art-room.html" target="_blank">this</a> post from last school year. The fifth graders have been making <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtjvyuMp6u3n58wyea4B85YBPa7PzRiJz-GI_yWytpMs4mTJLkEOjiV1jMyjn1B9nx-GDJTOJ1wijtskWn5ihkA0Edtaw85xS2bZ-HeOl-r91e0Mq0YFk0yYzRUF7InLB0r_ZRnqtr8w/s1600/IMG_3123.jpg" target="_blank">Chinese New Year clay medallions</a> with Chinese Calligraphy.

I have been holding off on writing about this because I hadn't completely recovered from it. Two weeks ago on a Monday night twenty-five Berry 6th grade students, Darren Goodman, Darren's photographer, Darren's parents and I met for a glass painting session. I had planned it a month in advance, sending out permission slips, preparing supplies and collecting permission slips. The kids came after school and painted glass Tears of Joy that Darren made in his studio and brought to our school. This is a project that the students have been working on with Darren that will be donated to Cincinnati Children's Hospital. As the students finished each piece we hung the tears on a wire strung across the ceiling in the front of the art room.<br />
The students painted until 6 o'clock that evening and after they finished painting Darren treated us all to LaRosa's pizza!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw09xJf7NMNsOEwcXvUUGOU3mRN8LM0VNoteGEKKyk7lQgh7joJO3wPlGR2ALlxQ3fdxeeIHXXcXGupZN7QW6xwyu1MT0ZwAlt6bRuyjE6pJC9_1eh1J2d0zV-bDfFTn2gJylCwSS6mA/s1600/IMG_5106.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw09xJf7NMNsOEwcXvUUGOU3mRN8LM0VNoteGEKKyk7lQgh7joJO3wPlGR2ALlxQ3fdxeeIHXXcXGupZN7QW6xwyu1MT0ZwAlt6bRuyjE6pJC9_1eh1J2d0zV-bDfFTn2gJylCwSS6mA/s1600/IMG_5106.jpg" height="640" width="272" /></a><br />

The next day I taught half the day and had a substitute coming for the afternoon because I was going to the dentist that afternoon. After my last morning class the sub came in and I was getting ready to leave, doing some last minute clean-up and getting the room ready for the sub. I had two large glass tears laying on a table in the front of my room and I wanted to get them out of the way. I picked up the first one and held it up to hang it on the wire. As soon as it touched the wire the entire wire came down and all of the tears that were hanging on it fell. The wire gave out from the weight of all of the glass pieces hanging on it. Most of them shattered. Unbelievably, there were a few that made it in one piece.<br />
<br />
I felt sick.<br />
<br />
I couldn't believe what just happened. Fifteen to twenty pieces of glass art work had just fell and shattered all over the art room floor.<br />
<br />
The incident was awful.<br />
<br />
I AM SO GLAD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN A CLASS WAS IN THE ROOM! No one was hurt, thank goodness!<br />
<br />
I called Darren and shared the bad news and the next morning shared the news with the students. They were resilient, of course.<br />
<br />
We have survived our "fall" and gotten back up on our feet and used this really bad thing to make us stronger.<br />
<br />
Darren has already made more tears and the kids came to the art room during two of my plan times and painted them.<br />

The two tears that were sitting on the table in the front of the room made it and almost all of the 6th graders in the whole school have signed their name on one and written a feeling/emotion word on the other.</div>

Last week I was able to attend my art education association's state conference, held in Columbus, Ohio. I am pretty lucky to belong to <a href="http://www.oaea.org/" target="_blank">OAEA</a>. I have been able to attend this conference almost every year that I have been teaching, with the exception of two years. That means I've been going to this artapalooza for 15 years! There were so many workshops to attend, guest speakers, ideas, colleagues to connect with and art to see! I soaked it up like a thirsty sponge! Below are photos of just some of the workshops I went to and experiences I had. </div>

This workshop was all about Miniatures. Above you see a toad stool house made of Cloud Clay with a cardboard tube armature . This workshop was by Virginia Pacer, Laura Lohman and Lisa Bookenberger. These women are so creative and energetic! </div>

These tiles are from an off-site workshop where we went to Buckeye Ceramic Supply and the Mayco glaze factory. Attendees painted three tiles, each with a different technique/lesson. We also took a tour of the factory!<br />

This workshop was lead by Jinghong Cai. She showed how to write Chinese symbols with brushes and ink. This was particularly interesting to me because I teach a lesson about the Chinese New Year to my 5th graders and I will definitely be able to use what I learned in my class! <br />

Faux Enameling taught by Dawn Blattel. This is a technique I think Dawn pretty much made up on her own. These are so stunning when you see them in real life. The colors pop and they have depth to them because the lines are actual walls made with aluminum foil. The color is tissue paper dipped in watered down glue and then pressed into each area. Dawn does this with her 7th graders and I think I could adapt for my 6th graders and the time barriers. </div>

The workshop that sticks out in my mind the most I did not take any pictures of. It was called "Giving Birth to Student Cultivated Learning Environments." One of the things I can improve on in my teaching is getting to know the students more personally. It can be challenging as a teacher of 890 students only seeing them once a week for 40 minutes to get to know them personally. They shuffle in and then shuffle out and then the next group comes and this happens 6 to7 times a day. </div>
<div>
<a href="http://danielhumphrey7.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Daniel Humphrey</a> and Dillon Sedar sparked some ideas in my thinking about how I can build more of a relationship with my students but I will really need to focus on this to accomplish it. </div>
<div>
By the way, I wrote in my notes that Daniel Humphrey looks like a young <span style="text-align: center;">John Cusack. He really does! You cannot ignore it, and I really wish I had taken a picture so that I could show you the resemblance! (I guess that would have been kind of awkward, though.) I would put a split screen right here. </span></div>

Their key points in what they said in the presentations are as follows:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Its all about the Relationships (make a personal connection with them)</li>
<li>Connect with your students on a personal level (say hi every day)</li>
<li>Create a space/learning environment where students feel safe to explore their full imagination (name stuff in your room: paper towel dispenser, scrap box) </li>
<li>Allow and Encourage students to take ownership in their schooling. (have students make their own learning objectives, ask students what they want to learn)</li>
<li>Students do not need to be shown culture in the art room. They are the culture. Use their culture. (start where the students want to start and bring it to an art history lesson or principles and elements lesson)</li>
<li>Create Meaning (students make the class still-life together with the teacher)</li>
<li>There are many different ways to solve one artistic problem. Allow students to explore their interpretations of the contexts you present. </li>
<li>Everybody's right. Everybody's wrong. (we can learn from each other)</li>
<li>Brag about your students and their accomplishments (art show, newspaper)</li>
</ul>
<div>
Honestly, to try some of these things is going to be stepping out of my own comfort zone. But isn't that what we have to do to improve our teaching? We all teach with different styles and these points can be applied at different levels of intensity according to what our classroom needs. </div>
