2013–2014学年将是我担任初中美术教师的第十年!
每年,我都在努力寻找方法,让学生在自由时间里保持高效产出。
过去我喜欢允许他们在自由时间进行美术创作,以此获得额外的加分机会。但与此同时,我也希望对那些专注任务并提前完成的学生给予奖励。问题在于:有些学生为换取自由时间而草率交差,结果反而因自身选择导致美术成绩偏低;随之而来的是更多课堂纪律问题。我曾反复尝试教导他们:自由时间里的选择将带来不同结果,并期望他们能明智抉择。遗憾的是,我逐渐意识到,大多数初中生尚不具备做出此类明智选择的能力。既然我不愿再看到学生在我的课堂上失败或无所事事!我决定强制要求他们在自由时间进行日志记录,以期扭转这一局面。
从今往后,我将要求每位美术学生随身携带一本螺旋笔记本,
用于课堂中的多种用途:
课堂笔记、教学指令、素描、思考、灵感采集及自由创作。
这是帮助他们梳理艺术构思、并为其持续高效产出提供固定落点的方式。

我决定每周为他们设定一个新主题(共36个)。

嗯……那是原计划……但……
你懂的……;)

我们最终完成了22个主题!
若学生提前完成课堂作业,须立即取出日志本,开始本周的素描任务;
若未能提前完成,则须将该任务作为家庭作业补做。
学生完成课堂作业越早,我对日志作业的要求就越高——因为他们拥有更充裕的时间投入其中。
本学年伊始,我将带领学生记录我们在MMS美术教室中各类工具的使用方法。
我会让他们边操作边书写,并鼓励他们同时为文字配图。
将课堂规则写入日志,有助于他们日后随时查阅,并将其内化为创意记忆的一部分。


字母书写(Lettering)在我班的美术课中应用极广。
我希望在学年初就带领学生掌握基础的字母造型方法。

《字母书写的入门指南》是一堂专为日志记录设计的课程。
我将要求学生在日志中记下这些要点,以便顺利开启下一项日志任务……

用10种不同风格书写你的姓名……

五件你心怀感恩之事……

线条上的线条……
笔记本螺旋线的每一圈,都需绘制一种全新的线条图案。

愿望清单(Bucket List)
学生先绘制一只三维立体的水桶,再以富于创意的方式,在桶内填满至少10件自己希望在毕业前、或在“老到不够酷”之前完成的事!


Larry的喷漆罐(六年级)
你想喷洒什么?
参照www.youtube.com/drawstuffrealeasy网站提供的分步教程,绘制一个喷漆罐;
然后在罐体上画出你渴望无限量喷洒向全世界的内容——借此向世界发声,留下属于你的印记!


三维铅笔
此图效果应呈现为:学生先在页面上完成全部绘画,再将一支真实的铅笔置于画面上方。画面本身为二维,而铅笔则需呈现三维效果。
请用铅笔在日志中绘制一支大型铅笔;
通过在底部叠加较深色调并用灰色绘制投影,使其呈现三维感;
下方所绘内容须维持二维平面效果。
可参考M.C.埃舍尔(M.C. Escher)的《画手》(Drawing Hands)作品,体会二维之上叠加三维的表现手法。


你的漫画肖像(Caricature of You)
这是对你本人幽默、滑稽、夸张又风趣的再现。选取你喜爱或厌恶的某个身体特征,将其极度放大!让你比现实中的自己更“像你自己”!

思绪飘在云中(Head in the Clouds)
此处,拥有“一团乱麻”的大脑完全被允许……
请绘制充满整页的云朵,重点展现云朵形态的多样性。
尽情自由发挥——可以卡通化、狂野、抽象,也可以写实……只管画云!

图像密码(Pictorgraphy)
即用图画作为密码或谜题来传递信息……
例如,“Dear Pam”(亲爱的帕姆)可拆解为:画一头“鹿(Deer)”,再画一罐“果酱(Jam)”,并标注公式“P + Jar of Jam − J”……
此类表达易趋隐晦,因此学生须在纸张背面附上解码密钥。

灵感口袋(Inspiritaion Pocket)
或称“创意收纳袋(Idea Pouch)”……
我为他们准备了一份制作口袋的工作表:本质上仅是一个右侧、左侧与底边均带翻折标签的矩形。学生需装饰口袋正面,剪下后将三侧标签向内折叠,并在标签背面涂胶,最后将口袋粘贴于日志本内页。这是他们存放自由时间日志创意的专属空间。

华美繁复的画框(Fabulous Fancy Frame)
有时,我们为作品选配的画框,其精美程度甚至远超作品本身。
画框本身可以极其精细、华丽而繁复。
此项日志任务旨在引导学生专注于设计一个“本身就是艺术品”的画框。
中心区域须留白……

眼睛拼贴与眼睛素描……
学生从杂志中搜集大幅的人眼图片(类型宜多样:侧面、闭眼、睁眼等皆可)。
将眼睛图片粘贴于日志左侧,再于右侧对应位置进行写生。

怪物变形(Monster Morph)
学生可利用该页面绘制多个小型怪物,或集中精力绘制一个大型、细节丰富的怪物。
通过组合不同动物的身体部位来创造怪物形象。
完成后可进行勾线、上色或明暗/排线处理……
日志条目 #21
倘若这是你最后一餐,或你愿永恒享用的一餐,你会选择吃什么?


日志条目 #22
树木涂鸦日志
以富于创意的方式绘制一棵树……

This 2013-14 is going to be my 10th year teaching art to middle schoolers!
I have struggled to find ways every year to keep kids productive during free time.
I liked giving them the option of doing art during this time to get extra booster grades. But I still wanted to reward them at the same time if they were on task and finished early. The problem rooted where students would turn in poor work just to have free time, then in the process would get low grades in art (by fault of their own choices) and I would run into more discipline problems as well. I struggled with trying to teach them that what they choose to do in their free time would lead to different results, hoping they would choose wisely. Unfortunately, I have realized that most middle school students are not really ready to make these choices wisely. Since I do not want to see failure or idleness in my class any longer! I have decided to require them to journal in their free time to hopefully change the pattern.
From now on, I am requiring each art student to carry a spiral notebook
to use for multiple things in the class;
Class notes, instruction, sketches, thoughts, inspiration, and free work.
It is a way to stay organized with their artistic ideas and have a place to turn to stay productive.

I decided to give them a new topic every week (total 36).

Well... That was the plan... But...
You know... ;)

We made it to 22 topics!
If they finish their work early, they will be expected to grab their journal and begin on their weekly sketch.
If they do not finish early, they will be expected to do it for homework.
The earlier they finish their class work, the higher my expectation I will have for journal because they had more time to work on it.
I want to begin the year by taking notes on how we use supplies in the MMS art room.
I will have them write as they go and encourage them to illustrate their paper as well.
Writing the rules will allow them to refer back to them and enforce it to their creative memory.


We use lettering ALOT in my art class.
I want to start off the basics of forming letters with them at the beginning of the year.

A beginners guide to lettering is a lesson I will teach for journaling.
I will have the students take these notes in their journals in order to get them started on the next entry...

Write your name in 10 different styles...

5 Things you are Thankful For...

LInes on LInes...
Each line on the notebook spiral will contain a new line design.

Bucket list
Students draw a 3d bucket and fill it up creatively with at least 10 things they want to do before they graduate and get too old to be cool!


Larry's SprayCan 6th grade
What do you want to SprAY?
Use the step by step guide to drawing a spray can
from www.youtube.com/drawstuffrealeasy
Then draw on the can what you wish you could spray out everywhere in unlimited amounts to say to the world, make your mark!


3D PENCIL
This is supposed to look like the students drew all over their page and then laid their pencil on top of the drawing. The drawing should be 2D while the pencil will appear 3D in comparison.
Draw a large pencil in your journal with your pencil.
Make it appear 3d by blending darker colors at bottom and casting a shadow with grey.
Develop drawings below to keep the 2D look on the paper.
Use M.C. Escher's Drawing Hands picture as an example of 3D on top of 2D.


Caricature of You
These are a funny , goofy, exaggerated, and humors versions of ourselves. Take a feature you love or hate about yourself and flare it up! Make you even more "you" than reality!

Head in the Clouds
Here it is ok to have a cloudy brain...
Draw clouds filling up the page focusing on variety of style here.
Be free, be cartoonish, be wild, be abstract, be realisitc... just draw clouds.

Pictorgraphy
This is writing a message using pictures as a code or puzzle...
For example, "Dear Pam" could be done by drawing a deer and then drawing a Jar of Jam with the formula P+ Jar of Jam-J...
This gets cryptic, so they need to include the key on back of note.

Inspiritaion Pocket
or Idea Pouch...
I have a worksheet for them to create the pocket. It is basically just a rectangle with a tab on right, left, and bottom. They are supposed to decorate the pouch front, cut it out then fold tabs under and apply glue to them. Then lay the pocket in the book. It is a place for them to keep ideas in for their free time journaling.

Fabulous Fancy Frame
Sometimes we find a frame for out art that is more fancy than the art itself.
Frames can be intricately detailed and fabulously fancy at times.
This entry gets the students to focus on designing a frame that is art itself.
Leave the center open...

Eye Collage and Eye Drawing...
Students find big human eyes in magazines. Variety is good (profile, closed, open, etc).
They glue the eyes on the left side of the journal and draw them on the right.

Monster Morph
Students use the space to make mulitple monsters or to make on bigger detailed monster.
They morph parts from animals together to create monsters.
They can outline, color, or shade after done...
Journal Entry #21
What would you eat if it was your last meal or the meal you would eat for eternity?


Journal #22
Tree Doodle Journal Entry
Draw a tree creatively...
