Club Creativity!

Katie Babic and I worked with a small group of students who were interested in having more art and creativity opportunities.  We met once a week after school to explore a variety of arts media and creative processes.  After attending such an inspiring Learning and the Brain Conference, this group became our test case for some of the ideas we learned about fostering creativity and curiosity and supporting kids' passions. 

A new session of Club Creativity will start after spring break!  Sign up to join us!
Here are some of the activities we explored: 

Egg carton flower wreath
Clay creatures

Egg carton flowers

Making buttons!

Van Gogh Sunflowers / Third and Fourth Grade FUNflowers

 
Third and fourth grade artists looked at Vincent van Gogh's famous sunflower paintings.  Then we thought about how we could transform the flowers into FUNflowers.  We challenged ourselves to draw the craziest flowers we could think of and add lots of color and detail!  
Check out these fabulous FUNflowers!

Inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night

Third and fourth grade artists were given the challenge to recreate their own versions of Van Gogh's Starry Night, using only a black pen.  We looked closely at several of Van Gogh's paintings, noting the texture and the brush strokes.  We talked about how we could pretend that our pens are paintbrushes and represent each brush stroke with a pen line.  Check out the great results!
