Drawing Art: 2-Point Perspective City-Full Unit. Fall/Autumn.
By Art Shack by JB
Need an awesome Art Unit? I have just the thing for you! This creative 2-Point Perspective City artwork was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I did a demo and taught the class how to use a ruler and a yardstick. Measurements and Math were a strong focus of the lesson. Next, students spent the rest of the first lesson practicing the use of a ruler and a yardstick. I taught the students how to do 2-point perspective with step-by-step slides. Students started on their Final Copy paper and created their own version of my example. Students used colored pencils, colored sharpies, or watercolor paint to color their Mandala Design. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.
AP Spanish End of Year Art Project and Gallery Walk
By Specialty Spanish
So the AP Spanish® Exam is over... now what?? The end of the year means that you can do FUN and CREATIVE things with students that keep them interested and motivated! This digital or printable art project is a great way to end the year and let students show off other talents! We also get the opportunity to do some cross-disciplinary work and collaborate with colleagues if you choose!
First students choose a global challenge to research- one that interests them!
Next, students imitate a style of art to create an original work of art that uses symbolism to demonstrate the theme of their artwork.
Finally, students write a detailed description of their thought process while planning their work as well as what elements of symbolism they used and why.
When the projects are turned in, the teacher can set them up (around the classroom or in another spot in your school). Their descriptions accompany their artwork. Included in this project are a gallery walk note-taking table as well as comment cards. Students enjoy getting feedback from their peers! And the gallery walk chart helps them engage with the work of their peers and to think more deeply.
Another great option is to collaborate with an art teacher or another Spanish class. You can also simply invite other classes to view your gallery, and administrators too! Let them fill out comment cards for your students!
How long will this take? It really depends! You may choose to let students do a lot of the research and planning in class, but you can also assign this for homework.
I find that the making of the art has to be done at home so that they have access to the supplies they need.
The writing of the description can be done in class or at home as well.
The gallery walk takes at least one class period. If you have multiple classes participating, you could allow more time if you choose.

By Art Shack by JB
Need an awesome Art Unit? I have just the thing for you! This creative Mandala Design artwork was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I did a demo and taught the class how to use a ruler and a yardstick. Measurements and Math was a strong focus of the lesson. Next, students spent the rest of the first lesson brainstorming an idea for a stencil (¼ of their full Mandala Design. I taught the students how to rotate their stencil to get a Radial Design. Students started on their Final Copy paper and outlined their drawing in sharpie marker. We used large windows to trace our stencils on the final. Students used colored pencils, colored sharpies, or watercolor paint to color their Mandala Design. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

Painting Art: Watercolor Boat Reflections. Fall/Autumn.
By Art Shack by JB
This creative Watercolor Boat Scene was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I asked students to brainstorm a boat/vessel that they wanted to have in the water, and water kind of body of water they wanted in their artwork. We discussed Winslow Homer, and his style of art. Students sketched their drawing and painted the larger areas first. Students painted the boat, smaller details and reflections last. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.
