Students drew out a plan before they were allowed to start using a half mask template or a whole mask template ( I drew one of each on copy paper and students could choose) We used plastic molds and strips of plaster (you can order them through Blick) that were dipped into water and then smoother over the mold. Depending on the design students either did two layers on the same day if they didn't have any embellishments, or one layer and let it dry, then added wire for horns, beaks or whatever, and added another layer. After a few hours of drying the masks easily popped off the mold. ( I found it better to take them off before they dried completely.) Then students painted however they wished. If they used the neon tempera I had them put a gloss acrylic medium over it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MIOyZG2prT8/TdFHe0D1NvI/AAAAAAAACqw/KA6zG0PqFQg/s1600/DSC_0164.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MIOyZG2prT8/TdFHe0D1NvI/AAAAAAAACqw/KA6zG0PqFQg/s320/DSC_0164.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><br />

I am teaching a kindergarden prep art class this summer and wanted some cool songs for the kids. Found 'em!<br />

<br />
I think my favorite so far is the Picasso Polka by Greg Percy:<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"></span><br />
<div align="center"><strong>One eye looks straight ahead, the other to the right<br />
My arm is where my leg should be<br />
My pants are kinda tight<br />
I don’t know what is wrong with me<br />
I think Picasso painted me<br />
It looks like I’ve been in a fight</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>CHORUS:<br />
One eye is looking sideways, Picasso Polka<br />
They other’s looking my way, Picasso Polka<br />
I might be sort of Cubey, Picasso Polka<br />
Maybe rose, maybe blue, Picasso polka</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>My head it once was round, but now it is a square<br />
My elbow has three bends in it<br />
My foot looks like a chair<br />
I don’t know what is wrong you see<br />
I guess Picasso painted me<br />
It looks like I’ve been in a fight</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>CHORUS</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>My hair is kind of blue<br />
My house is kind of blue<br />
The sky is sort of blue<br />
I’m thinkin he was blue<br />
I don’t know what is wrong you see<br />
I guess Picasso painted me<br />
It looks like I’ve been in a fight</strong></div><div><strong><br />

I inherited brand new silk-screens and was nercous about using them/putting them together, but I pulled the trigger this past week and had an ag student (agriculture/woodshop savvy) help assemble the screens. They then edited a photo to be high contrast at <a href="http://www.picnik.com/">http://www.picnik.com/</a>, printed it out, and traced it onto contact paper in sharpie. They had to make sure all of the white sections touched. Then, exacto knife them out. The contact paper is then put inside the screen with the stick part attaching to the screen I made contact paper be oversized so that there would be no leakage. Then they flipped the screen over and used a paintbrush and with school glue, painted all of the areas under the contact paper so there would be no leaks. Do not skip this step!! It saved me:-) Then with block printing speedball ink the students pulled the color with the squeege over the contact paperand WAHLA- a beautiful print. They could do as many as they wanted (about 4). Would definatley work on a tshirt. I have some still working/doing a second one after they saw how it worked. I was amazed at how cool/easy it was. I don't know why I waited so long! <br />

I did the yorkie (its my Sadie Bug). I was experimenting with a double color. Then, I did black prints for my house. I can't wait to frame them:-)<br />

I didn't realize how easy it was to use! So today I am trying to catch up. Sorry to over load you!!

I could not believe the results! This is 8th/9th graders. They were so proud of themselves, and I think they were excited to understand value. Each student picked a celebrity and I printed it out on an 8x10. They had to fold it down the middle of the celebrity's face (not down the middle of the paper, due to head tilts, and unsquare photography). I may let them do this again!!</div></div><div align="center"><embed flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Famyejackso%2Falbumid%2F5602846531619669969%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCK-9qZqeyqa1Aw%26hl%3Den_US" height="267" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"></embed><br />

</tbody></table>I love this project for many reasons, the main one being the students also love it! My one reccommendation is if one student does a couple don't let anyone else do that couple. Otherwise you would have a bunch of sponge bob and patrick american gothics. But, if they come up with a different "couple," then the can repeat one of the cartoons (aka a student can do sponge bob an patrick, and another can do spongebob and gary). I find that by making the students think of different couples helps them be a little more creative with their "couples." I have a few more pics I'll post soon! <a href="http://artisthebestpartoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/10/american-gothic-parodies.html">Here</a> is the first time I did this project.<br />

I am pretty proud of myself. Normally for lesson plans I borrow from blogs, magazines, websites, etc. While koi fish are a coomon subject for artist, I feel like I had fairly original take on this project! <br />
Students first practiced drawing the koo fish and learned about the symbolism of the fish. Then, they drew them on watercolor paper and drew 4 verticle lines top to bottom. Students then painted each vertical section with either warm or cool colors and in the next did the opposite color scheme. I LOVE THE RESULTS!<br />
