Progressive Watercolor Art Tutorial
Ok, are you ready for another watercolor painting tutorial?! I am having fun with these. I love that I get to share some art skills I've picked up over the years with all of you. It's the art educator in me that gets excited :) So, today you get to learn how to make, what I call a Progressive Watercolor Painting. It's something I learned in high school and it's pretty simple to make. So here's how you make it: Materials: watercolor paints & brush watercolor paper a stiff board to tape your paper too masking tape pencil blow dryer Step 1: Make a few sketches. Take some time to plan how you want your painting to look. Here are a few sketches I made, just playing around to see what different shapes would look like. Step 2: Tape your paper down. Lay your paper on a stiff board of some kind and tape it down with masking tape. Step 3: Draw the center of your design. Locate the center of the paper and lightly draw the center of your design. Yes, you paint over the center drawing you made.

Students Get Into Their Monet Paintings!
We are standing on the bridge of our own paintings! Claude Monet and the Impressionists are my very favorite and I really enjoy sharing that love with my students. This project is a special one. We end up having two works of art when we are finished! After learning a bit about Monet's life we use acrylic paint to create a painting inspired by one of his Japanese Bridge paintings. This took a couple class periods. This helped me remove the background using Keynote's Alpha tool. In one of my buildings, we wrapped up this fun project by creating a tissue paper water lilly to put up with our paintings. It put a smile on my face listening to the reaction of the other students as they came down the hall to lunch or to the Art Room. One 5th grader said, "Those are great - are we going to do them?"
Art Curriculum | Fairbanks North Star Borough School District
The elementary art program is a unique and time-tested system of instruction and support that has evolved since the program was begun in 1981. At the heart of all the components is this document, the curriculum, which represents a comprehensive approach to art education and reflects the Alaska Content Standards in the Arts. This curriculum works because of the other aspects of the program, wherein teachers are trained, supported, and provided with teaching materials to assist them in providing a strong art education for their students. The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District Art Curriculum is comprised of: 1) Written Curriculum - This document outlines what teachers at each grade level should strive to teach their students. 2) Art Specialists and Classroom Inservices - The art specialists are certificated teachers who travel as a team around the district. 3) Art Kits - After a lesson is taught during an “Art Round” (30-45 classrooms), it is transformed into an art kit.

Alaska State Council on the Arts
Every child in every school has the right to a well-rounded education, of which the arts are an essential ingredient. Beyond having great value in and of itself, the arts promote the health and well-being of children, including academic and personal growth, critical thinking and analytical skills, the motivation to stay in school and excel and movement skills to help combat childhood obesity. Quality arts education is central to a complete education. Experience with the arts gives children the opportunity to achieve their full potential and become artists, audiences, informed citizens, and professionals who are prepared for success in the 21st century economy. Alaska’s artists and arts organizations are a rich resource that can help schools and communities become creative places where young people flourish and give voice to their personal creativity. The arts can transform the classroom environment, making learning a lively, invigorating experience. Arts Education Links Poetry Out Loud
