回到学校！合作壁画
我们回来啦！感觉就在几天前，我还在发帖庆祝学年结束呢！不知道你们怎样，但这个暑假简直一晃而过！整个夏天能和我可爱的宝宝们待在一起，真是太棒了；现在我可想他们想得紧，不过学校里的“小宝贝们”让我的过渡轻松了不少！
我们一直在为岩石花园准备石头底料，但等新物料陆续到位期间，我们已启动一个新项目！（这就是美术老师的生活呀，各位！）你必须灵活应变，顺势而为！
去年我在网上搜寻一些孩子们喜欢的新鲜活动时，发现了这个项目。这位老师的网站叫 Shine Brite Zamorano，他是一位来自加州的美术教师（还是他们州的年度艺术教师呢！）我还看到田纳西州艺术学院（Tennessee Arts Academy）也发布过这个项目的相关内容，心想：“是时候试一试了！” 感谢你们提供灵感，并分享如此精彩的课程！
以下是我们的实施过程！我将面向三至五年级学生开展此活动，预计耗时约一天！这是开启新学年的绝佳项目，完成后还能拥有一幅漂亮的壁画作品供展示！
材料：
Tru-Ray 彩色卡纸 6英寸×6英寸（正方形与三角形）
Crayola 彩色蜡笔棒（Color Sticks）
Elmer’s 固体胶棒
我首先向学生们展示了 Shine Brite 的博客，以及他们从中获得灵感的艺术家。下图是 Tulapink 的拼布作品（您可通过该链接在 Instagram 上找到她）：

太美了！
孩子们通常不觉得拼布算作艺术，因此让他们意识到这一点，非常有趣！
接着，我示范如何选择颜色、粘贴组合、起笔画线，以及使用彩色蜡笔棒上色。
我讲解如何从三角形顶端开始画线，并使线条呈倾斜状；然后将纸张翻转，再重复同样操作！
我还向他们展示：用彩色蜡笔棒可轻涂也可重涂，但深色涂绘在墙上效果格外醒目！
瞧，这些是四、五年级的学生正在制作自己的作品！

回到学校！合作壁画
WE'RE BACK! Seems like just a few days ago, I was posting about the end of the school year! I don't know about y'all, but Summer just flew by! It was so wonderful to spend all Summer with my sweet babies, and I'm missing them something fierce, but my "babies" at school are making the transition a little easier!
We have been priming rocks for our rock garden, but while we're waiting for more supplies to come in, we got started on a new project! (That's the life of an art teacher, y'all!) You've got to be flexible, and just roll with it!
I found this project last year, while scoping the web for some new fun things for our kids to do. His site is called Shine Brite Zamorano , and he's an art teacher based in California (Their art teacher of the year to boot!) I also saw posts about this from the Tennessee Arts Academy, and thought, "It's time to try it out!". Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your awesome program!
Here's how we created our own version! I'm going to do this with 3rd-5th. This should take about a day to do! Great project to kick off the start of the school year, and have a beautiful mural to display when they're done!
Materials:
Tru-Ray construction paper 6"x 6" ( squares and triangles)
Crayola Color Sticks
Elmer's Glue Sticks
I started out by showing them the Shine Brite blog, and the artist they got their inspiration from. Here's an image of Tulapink 's quilt. (you can find her on Instagram through that link)

It's so beautiful!!
The kids don't really think about a quilt being art, so it's fun to make them realize it is!
Then I demonstrate how to choose my colors, glue them together, start my lines, and color using the color sticks.
I talk about drawing the lines from the tippy top of the triangle, and making them slanted. Then I turn it around, and do the same thing!
I show them how you can color lightly or dark with the color sticks, but the dark coloring really pops on the wall!
Here's some 4th and 5th graders working on theirs!
Here's some 3rd graders from Mrs. Walker's class!
