(Robin - please post to Getty list)

Dear Friends in Art Education,

Robin Gianis has submitted an EXCELLENT lesson plan for Folk Art Ceramic
Face Vessels:
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/robin-face.htm
This is a lesson that actually bridges many cultures. I have links to Face
Vessels from other cultures that I will link to this plan - but for now, I
wanted to get it out to you as quickly as possible. I need to check my links
to see if they are still current. I will add a "gallery" page of face
vessels (small images) and African slave pottery as well (fair use -
aesthetic inquiry).

This lesson is linked from Middle School Lesson Plans on Incredible Art
Department - but is adaptable to elementary and high school. I have seen
this unit done with air dry clay as well. Air dry clay holds together better
when it is scored and slipped too (add a touch of water and work the
surface).

Thank you Robin! This is a plan I have been hoping to add.

Judy,
  I was 14 years old*, growing up in Germany, when I first heard of the
holocaust.
To a degree it shaped my life, vowed that my children would never ask
me: " If you knew, why didn't you do something about it."
Kaethe Kollwitz is one of my favorite Artists, not just her emotion
rendering portraits of people suffering, but also in her biography a
chapter devoted to giving Thanks to her housekeeper, without whom she
felt, she could not have walked the line of being a wife, mother and
Artist.
She did not leave us artwork about the holocaust, but shows the pain of
people, either by loosing a dear one through war or through bad social
conditions.
If I would teach Art and talk about the holocaust, I would have children
draw mountains of shoes, glasses, suitcases, clothes, hair..
C-M

* When I grew up , postwar Germany, b.1944, I knew there was a bad war,
for part of my hometowns 12 th century Gothic building has been bombed,
the border to East Germany,was 2 miles from my house  and many  children
had no fathers, they had died during the war.NOBODY talked about Hitler
or Jews. I did not hear the word Jew, until I  was shown  a reportage by
Huntley and Brinkley in school, for our history stopped abruptly in
1930.

When I was employed as an art therapist working with multiply disabled clients,
there were 2 artists we tended to focus on. Neither of them used finger paints,
but they were good examples of artists compensating for their disabilities.

One was Matisse - to compensate for his deteriating fine motor skills and
cognative ability, he focused on paper cut outs, which he is more widely known
for today.  Chuck Close also later dealt with being in a wheelchair & disabled &
later created large canvas images using his stamping technique to block out
color and shapes as close ups of people's faces. You probably can adapt a
project using finger prints as stamping to emulate Close's work.  I believe both
artists had videos, as I remember showing them to our clients back in the '90s.

There are also other collage and other techniques that don't require fine motor
skills that I have used with people with disabilities if you are interested.
This also might be a good opportunity to employ some of Betty Edward's exercises
(Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain)if the student can use his non-dominant
hand.

Hope that helps.

No, but you can give this student inspiration by going
to the Pet Peeves section which includes artists who
have no arms and are paralyzed. Go to:

I am trying frantically to find a video that's at my
library.   I can't seem to find it's name on the web
but I know it exists and I want to show it to my
student with the broken arm. Has anyone seen this
artist who paints exclusively with finger paints and
sells them in galleries?

To Early Childhood Educators- Elementary - Preschool,

(Just skip down to the link if you don't want to read)
Here is hoping all of you have fun teaching the elements and principles to
the younger ones. Get them moving and a shaking as you teach them. Several
are now doing the "Line Hunt" through the school environment....Make it a
safari with each element. Come up with your own little verse for each "hunt"
(I remember learning a "I'm going on a Lion Hunt" when I was a kid). I think
if more of you would really make it a whole child learning experience when
they are young - then art teachers wouldn't have to spend so much time
re-teaching. Art Teachers could get right into the art making - without a
lot of review on the elements and principles. Personally - I skipped the
review anyways (smile). We (middle school) had a one day - these are the
elements - answer some questions (looking at art) and a one day these are
the principles - and answer a few questions (looking at art) - along with a
little doing art. Then we could jump into the making of real art (the
treasures). The elements and principles were are part of each lesson. We
mixed them up a bit rather than doing them one at a time.

Sometime I'll get my Art Stores done...but I spent some time exploring the
link MaryAnn Kohl gave us...

Here is an article on Line:
http://www.earlychildhood.com/Articles/index.cfm?FuseAction=Article&A=348

shorter link:
http://tinyurl.com/ooye

I kind of questioned using Jackson Pollock with the wee ones (when he was
posted to Art4Kids) because that isn't really what his art is about....After
I read this article I thought - sure, why  not. Just introduce them to a
variety of artists and lines in art....show them when they are younger so
looking at art when they are older is a good thing and not a boring thing.

Dear Friends in Art Education,

I got a request to link this site up to Incredible Art Department:
http://www.kimandjason.com  I forward all of the "good ones" to you right
away.

The "crooked world of grown-ups" made me chuckle - reminds me a Charles
Barkley quote I ran across not too long ago (I sent it to the"shoes group").

From Jaimie,

I'd like to share with you another site that kids of all ages enjoy.
KimandJason.com is the home of Kim & Jason, a comic strip about childhood:

http://www.kimandjason.com

The site has the daily comic strip, which follows the misadventures of two
young children trying to make straight the crooked world of grown-ups. It
also has an archive of past strips, a collection of eCards, and topic areas
for readers to post stories about childhood.

Dear Friends in Art Education,

Jeannette just referred me to another site where I can spend more money
(smile)...But for now I will just turn you onto some of the great ideas for
your classes:

Ceramic suns - become more advanced when they are lids for boxes:
http://www.lafuente.com/new/prod.php?menu=3&subid=149
http://www.lafuente.com/new/prod.php?sale=&subid=149&manid=&disp=3&menu=3
Easy to do making a slab cylinder (put a coil or slab of clay around the
bottom of the sun to fit inside the cylinder) - see ceramic suns lesson
plans:
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/Lessons/claysuns.htm
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/Lessons/Picassun.htm
(some day I'll update these plans)

Now I have to have one of these elephants:
http://www.lafuente.com/new/prod.php?subid=81&manid=%&menu=3

Lots of animals listed for your chosing (what? no fish?)
http://www.lafuente.com/new/intro.php?page=oaxacan&menu=3

Use images with paper mache lesson plan:
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/Lessons/7-alebrijes.htm

Beautiful Bark paintings:
http://www.lafuente.com/new/prod.php?menu=3&subid=140

Use with this lesson plan - or use brown paper bags (scrunch bags and dip in
watered down black and or brown paint - dry flat - look like Amate paper
when it dries):
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/Lessons/7Amate.htm
(well - if you use this lesson be sure to correct typos - I just spotted
some -this leson has not been updated - so link is wrong)

Some nice fine art, too:
http://www.lafuente.com/new/intro.php?page=fineart&menu=4

I may provide a link on my site -- but probably not - so grab images that
interest you. I am sure they will be changing as the work sells...Which is
just what I did -- I saved my three favorite elephants so I can make my own
sometime out of paper mache (I didn't like the more affordable ones).

Jeanette ordered some Day of the Dead stuff and got a teacher's discount.
Try it.

Dear Friends in Art Education,

Annemae Heimnan shared her Identity Unit plans with Getty ArtsEdNet Talk.

Here is a link to her Curriculum Map (Excel file):
http://www.benfranklinart.com/files/Copy_of_Nov16map.xls

Here is the link to the unit plans for 5th -6th -7th -8th grade:
http://www.benfranklinart.com/files/Copy_of_Good_copy_Influences_on_Identity
.doc

8th grade project - Talking Face Jars:
http://www.benfranklinart.com/gr8facejars.html

7th grade project - Bogolanfini (mud cloth)
http://www.benfranklinart.com/gr7bogo.html

6th grade Dogon Granary doors - description:
http://www.benfranklinart.com/gr6door.html
Student work - using foil tooling for doors.
http://www.benfranklinart.com/gr6door.html
I have some more ideas for this project if anyone is interested.

5th grade Egyptian Storytelling:
http://www.benfranklinart.com/egyptstory5.html

I enjoyed the Pre-Columbian art too:
http://www.benfranklinart.com/Precolumbian.html
Brief description:

I can see kids really having fun making their headdresses - this is also one
that can be adapted to Northwest Coast clan hats too. Other animals would be
easy to make.

Links for all of these cultures can be found on Incredible Art Department.

email Annamae if you have questions: mrsheiman@...

More Mexican artists from Artcyclopedia:
http://www.artcyclopedia.com/nationalities/Mexican.html

Might give you a place to start for a Hispanic Heritage Month lesson. I know
one of the resources I posted was weak on names of artists. I have lots of
links for other artists (and will  forward those off list). Recently  I
posted links for Gunther Gerzso (Ken Schwab does a lesson that reminds me of
Gerzso's work - Ken plans to show the students Gerzo's work when he does it
again). See Gerzso's work:
[Mexican Abstract Painter, Born 1915 - 2000].
http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/gerzso_gunther.html

(I have more Gerzso links for anyone interested in grabbing images)

Here is Ken's Lesson plan for you to adapt:

Might help with your planning for next year.

(World - this is for USA members doing Days of the Dead and Halloween - some
members are teaching in schools where they can say Lord)

Dear Friends in Art Education,

First to my African American friends...I mean no disrespect to African
American culture in this post - I LOVE these traditional songs. We even
learned "Dem Bones" in elementary school when I was a kid - It was a
favorite - We acted it out as we sang. (Just delete now if not interested -
long post).

Many of you are doing skeleton projects for Days of the Dead. I don't think
it would be disrespectful to tie in some African American spirituals (for
those who can). Some of you do skeleton projects for Halloween - tie these
songs in. Correct the grammar if you want to - the kids won't know the
difference. The songs are in public domain. I won't be posting more bones
songs - these are just two that I know.

There are two that I can think of:

The famous African-American Spiritual 'Dry Bones' derives from Ezekiel's
vision of a 'valley full of bones'.

Dem Bones (not a page to take kids to - this is just for lyrics for you)
http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=Dem%20Bones
(your music people would be able to direct you to the tune)

Even help with scientific names:
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/anatomy/skeleton/Labelskeleton.sht
ml
rewrite the words of Dem Bones putting in the scientific names.

I'm not the only one who sees this as a way to teach kids the skeleton:
http://www.dinobone.com/ask/dembones.html

A favorite I had when I was growing up was "Dem Bones Gonna Rise Again" - I
couldn't find the origin of this - but it has to be an African American
spiritual due to the call and response format. (A "Creation" song).

Here are lyrics closer to the ones we sang:
       http://ingeb.org/spiritua/dembones.html
       http://www.acronet.net/~robokopp/usa/dembones.htm
       similar:
       http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/Glade/8851/s12_2.htm

       Dem Bones

       Chorus:
       I know it brother brother,
       Indeed I know it brother, I know it HEY!
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       The lord he thought he'd make a man.
       DEM BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN!
       So he made Adam cordin' to a plan.
       DEM BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN!

       Repeat chorus:

       Thought he'd make a woman too.
       The Lord didn't know just what to do.
       Took a rib from Adam's side.
       For to make Miss Eve, his bride.

       Repeat chorus

       Put 'em in a garden wide and fair.
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       Told 'em to eat what they found there.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       Peaches, pears, plums and such.
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       But the apple tree you better not touch.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       One day Miss Eve was walking around
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       .Spied that tree all loaded down.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       Serpent crawling around that trunk.
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       At miss Eve, his eye he wunk.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus


       Eve, she just took a little pull.
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       Then she filled her fig leaf full.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       Adam, he just took a little bite.
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       Said um'um woman that sure am nice.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       One day the Lord was walking around.
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       Spied them peels all over the ground.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       The Lord cried out in his mighty voice.
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       That shook the heavens to the joists.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       Cried, Adam, Adam, Where art though?
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       Here I is Lord, I's comin' now.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       Adam, Adam, did you eat these?
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       No massa Lord, I 'spect it was Eve.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       Then the Lord rose up in his might wrath,
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       Said ya'll just beat it down the path.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       Put an angel at the door.
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       Said ya'll don't come 'round here no more.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       Eve took the needle, Adam took the plow.
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       That's why we're all working now.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

       Repeat chorus

       To this tale there ain't no more.
       Dem bones gonna rise again
       Eve got the Apple, and Adam got the core.
       Dem bones gonna rise again

Dear Friends in Art Education.

A Getty list member sent me email that he had trouble finding the page for
Getty list member web sites (there are a few non Getty list members on the
page too -- and I hope to add more). The link has always been in the blue
table on my home page...but now I made it even easier.

Go to the Lesson Plan Page:
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/lessons.html
and click on ART TEACHERS' WEB SITES

or go to Judy Decker's Incredible Resources:
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/
click on the brown button -- or the blue table.  More sites to be added
soon. (Please folks if you don't know that is my site -- do not make the
mistake of telling me that - smile) For anyone who STILL dos not know - my
site is the Resources button on Incredible Art Department home page

or click on Art Room on IAD and follow link to Art Teacher Web sites:
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/artroom/artroom.html
(Sorry Ken Rohrer to mess with this page - but that is what the Getty member
suggested - I also put it on the index page for that section - but that
isn't what comes up on the site).

Hope this helps. I welcome ALL suggestions on how to improve the site - and
I do what I can to meet those needs.

P.S. for Ken if you are reading....He had more suggestions....but those are
for another time. Let's see if this helps for now (smile). I will just tell
you that one was to put the Art Links pages as the Resources button....but
then there would not be a link to my site. As far as I know, he is the only
one who has even mentioned the Art Links pages. You know why I keep them
there.

(Samantha - this is just FYI - I try to let my Getty friends know when I am
"talking" about them. This topic came up on Art Eduction list just the other
day - you replied to Getty like "magic" - I sure love how this works)

Dear Friends in Art Education,

I just thought I would share this gem of a Getty post - from Samanth Wilmoth
in Akron, Ohio. So many are looking for connections. (First let me add that
Samantha is typing this all one handed - she injured one hand in the
elevator - so she is thinking and typing at the same time)

I would briefly mention some of the ties I had made between
math and science and visual art. Math has some pretty obvious geometrical
tie ins, especially when we are studying the prehistoric peoples of Ohio
and prehistoric art around the world. Repeating patterns and balance as
well as sketching out word problems in order to visualize what they are
asking. Doing stream of consciousness thinking here, so bear with me.
Fractions come into play too...especially when we work with
perspective..this may just be a connection that I make and not a truly
integrated connection, but I know it has helped my 4th graders understand
fractions a bit more. Science..let's see..in my prehistoric Ohio/rocks and
minerals/myths and legends unit, I have students sketch their rock samples,
create Native influenced circle stories. We look at the artifacts of the
Adena and Hopewell and note how they used natural resources to create their
works of art..Observation skills and data collection are also a given
for me..For example, the amount of observation required to do a still
life?? Would put some scientists to shame I am thinking :) I also have the
students make chalk using various ingredients to point out how the
early peoples must have gone through the same trial and error process in
creating their art tools...Oh! and we create our own art tools from
materials at hand..sticks, long blades of grass..feathers..and then we
create slate paintings. This is a major technology strand here..Kids are
always at the epiphany stage when they realize that technology is *not* just
computers.We also look at various materials (different grasses and
plant leaves and animal furs) through magnifying glasses and microscopes to
see what they might have woven their material from and why they might
have chosen each thing and then we weave little bags...Kids always love
that one. They can see through the microscope why one fiber might be
better suited to baskets...another to clothing, etc. We discuss the
functionality of art throughout history too. Finally, here, too I encourage
those students who might still be struggling with putting things into
words, to draw pictures to help them visualize major concepts such as the
rock cycle or the geological periods of time..etc. Is that truly
integrating art objectives when I have them do that? I believe it is.There
are two absolutely fabulous art teachers here who are an unending supply of
other ideas too, but this has taken me most of the day to type..so I had
better stop for now....but this one last thought...
Art has always been the medium throughout history where people could
record their thoughts and feelings and observations, too.Through the eyes
of the artists, we have glimpses into so many things..so is Art
meangingful and relevant to helping our students learn? It most assuredly
is! Sometimes it is the *only* way we can reach them and teach them.

Samantha

Back to Judy -- if any of you have questions about her units - ask away --
to me. I will get with her over the summer. She has a lot "on her plate"
right now. Christa-Maria - if you got down this far - you will LOVE
Samantha! For those interested in art across the curriculum -save this post
into a special folder. Obviously this is more than art-math-science (a lot
of social studies, too)- but you get the idea.

(Ed - this is just FYI - I like to let artists know I am "talking" about
them)

Dear Friends in Art Education,

The topic of Film Canister Pin Hole cameras has come up on Getty list.... I
am on a "quest" for a lesson plan to share....I have written to Ed
Kirkaptrick to see if he has some "how to" guidelines for us to follow....
If any of you have made them from film canisters - DO let me know - and DO
send the plan to me for Incredible Art Department (along with some student
work). I do not need an Oatmeal Can (or coffee can -- of Pringles can -
camera) as those are easy to find online.

Check out the gallery to Pinhole photography

I followed a link from Ed's site to this Textile Artist - Mary Burton -
Hooked Rugs:
http://www.marysburton.com/

Japanese Crane Cape - wow!
http://www.marysburton.com/cranecape.htm

I particualry liked what she had to say about this rug:
http://www.marysburton.com/shaker.htm

Now you have an artist to share if you chose to introduce this craft to you
students. I will be adding links to Ed's site and Mary's site from my site
soon.

For anyone interested - World Wide Pinhole Photography day is April 25,
2004.

Dear Friends in Art Education,

Makio (from Japan) posted this site to Getty list.
http://www.technokids.ca/

There is a very thorough lesson plan on the site for primary level on
teaching pointillism to elementary. You can adapt that lesson using your
software (with out purchasing the program). There is also one for middle
school on creating a storyboard in PowerPoint. Yeah! -It teaches them how to
make a PowerPoint without the Microsoft templates. Again - a lesson you can
adapt easily with out the CD. You might want to check and see the kind of
projects the program teaches at each level and soft ware used - may spark
some ideas.
I will not be linking up this site - so save it yourself if you are
interested.

List members (and Judy),

As some of you may know, my job has kept me too busy
to work on the IAD site any longer. (although I still
tinker with it occassionally) Because I had so many
e-mails from people saying they wanted the site left
up, I asked for a volunteer to maintain and add to the
site. Judy Decker graciously volunteered for this
position and has been working on it since then.

As an artist myself, I have decided to give Judy the
artistic freedom that artists need to change the site
as she sees fit. I encourage your input on the site to
improve IAD. Judy- This means that I don't mind you
adding or changing things on the site without my
permission. I consider the site in the public domain
although I do have a copywrite on it to keep it from
being used inappropriately. Teachers and students- I
encourage you to copy or use the lessons and other
material here to enhance your art education.

I'll use this note as a thank-you to Princetonol.com
for hosting IAD for free. The site has been bounced
around due to heavy traffic and hosting companies
shutting down. Princetonol saved it from shutting
down. I have placed a big banner for Princetonol on
the main page as thanks for letting us use their
server.
