我是一名艺术家！

本活动灵感源自玛尔塔·阿尔特斯（Marta Altes）创作的图画书《我是一名艺术家！》（https://www.amazon.com/Am-Artist-Marta-Altes/dp/0230760406）。我们与六年级学生共读此书，并围绕“艺术家在社会中扮演何种角色”展开讨论。

接着，我们提出一系列问题：艺术家能做什么？作为艺术家，我能做什么？我热爱什么？我喜欢什么？什么让我感到愉悦？基于这些问题，我们用抽象图案与综合材料装饰背景。随后，我们以大幅书写呈现“我是艺术家”几个字，并绘制一只充满自由形态与色彩的“艺术之手”。在每根手指上，我们写下“作为艺术家，我能做的事”。

玛尔塔·阿尔特斯所著图画书《我是一名艺术家！》

第一步：装饰背景

第二步：绘制“艺术之手”

第三步：书写大幅彩色文字“我是一名艺术家”

完成背景、彩色手形、文字及个人反思后，我们将所有这些元素组合构图，置于背景左侧，并额外书写“作为艺术家，我能做的事”。

作为艺术家，我能做什么？每位同学写下自己的答案

在背景右侧，我们粘贴另一只手，用以呈现令我们愉悦的事物、我们喜爱的活动、激发我们灵感的事物以及让我们快乐的事物。我们从杂志中搜集契合个人喜好的图片，制作成拼贴画；同时辅以小幅手绘，进一步阐释这些偏好。

这是我们完成的作品——我们能否由此确认：我们已是真正的艺术家？

I’m an Artist!

This activity is inspired by the picture book “I’m an Artist” by Marta Altes. We read this book with the 6th grade students and we discussed about the role of the artist in our society.

Then we asked ourselves: what can an artist do? What can I do as an artist? What do I love, what do I like, what makes me feel good? Starting from these questions we decorated a background with abstract pattern and mixed media. After that we wrote a large writing with the words “I am an artist” and we drew an “artistic” hand, with free shapes and colors. For each finger of the hand we have written what I can do as an artist.

First step: decoration of the background

Second step: draw the “artistic” hand

Third step: write a big and colored writing “I’m an artist”

After completing the background, the colored hand, the writing and the personal reflections, we created a composition with all these elements on the left side of the background, writing in addition what I can do as an artist.

What can I do as an artist? Everyone writes their own answers

On the right side of the background we have pasted another hand, which describes the things that make us feel good, the things we like to do, that inspire us, that make us happy. We searched images from magazines, suitable for creating a collage with our preferences. We also made small drawings to explain these preferences.

Here are our finished works, can we confirm that we are true artists?
