This was my very favorite sculpture I saw at the Museum d'Orsay in France. The coolest part was that the tutu was actual material while the rest of the statue was made of bronze. I thought the mix of mediums was way cool. I think a great way to incorporate this into a lesson would be for the students to write a story about who they think this girl is, what she might be thinking. or anything that tells a story about the piece. We can also have a class discussion about our storys.

I think this medium can be used to make more simple items. Students can make small plates in the form of hearts and paint them for Valentine’s Day.

Media: Mixed (Cloth, Spraypaint, Stuffed Animals, Toys, Shoes)
Size:N/A
Focus: Sculptures
I chose this art piece because I thought it was very interesting and would be a good hook to get children’s attention to start a lesson plan. This could be done at the beginning of the school year as a “Get to Know You” project.
Students could create their own collection of things as a model on cardboard (it wouldn’t have to be this big obviously) and they would put things that they really enjoy on it and make it in their own way and can talk about it.

I can incorporate this art by having this be the hook to get the class discussing what the art can symbolize or the meaning behind it, then introduce a new book that is also whimsical and may have more than one interpretation.

“Calder’s Circus”  (1926-1931) Wire and Wood

# data[].attributes.body
Calder is normally known for making mobiles and kinetic models that move.Wood and wire are very simplified materials, and I think making students create models or from simple items relating to wood  like popsicles, chopsticks, wooden bits, and even wire or aluminum, and broadens the options they have to make something. This brings in form, balance and symmetry into the lesson.

Best known for his sculptures.

Lesson: Students will guess the time period this sculpture was created. Once students know what year it is they will guess what type of materials were used. Lastly, this will engage students to understand history during the renaissance time period.

Title: Shooting Star
Medium: Aluminum
Size: 272.4 cm x 259.7 cm x 5.1 cm
Smith's focus has created sculptures, printmaking, photography, drawings and textiles.
I could incorporate this medium into a lesson plan. I think this would be a good example of how different mediums could be used. I don't think aluminum is used as often as clay for sculptures.

Lorien Stern creates playful, colorful ceramics sculptures. She works on taking things she considers scary or sad and transforms them with color and pattern until they become things of joy and happiness. Her focus is ceramic but she also sales clothing and home decor. Her goal is to make people happy

I can have my students choose something that they are afraid of, for example spiders and make them into something happy. They can sculpt their own object show how non scary their scary thing can be by adding lots of color

Best known for her ceramics of munecas.
Her parents also made ceramics and her children kept that same tradition when they were taught by her.

I can incorporate this in my future classroom when learning about heritage and tradition. My students can share different traditions that they do within their family and if they don't have any they can possibly start some. I would also have them create any type of art piece either at home with their families where they will bring into class or with their classmate (as long as they are using team work).

How can you incorporate the artist or art medium into a lesson plan (2-3 sentences)?​​
​
I can incorporate this art medium into a lesson plan by having kids make a ceramic plate or even interpreting their own feelings the object. EX: making one for their parents.  I also really appreciated how he made some very detailed work into what he went through on his hard times.​

Gustavo Perez is a 72 year old artist who has been making ceramics since 1974. His focus is ceramics.
The art piece I chose was "Sin título" this piece stood out to me because it's very abstract and looks like the letter H.
Lesson: I can incorporate this artist in my lesson plan by discussing his work. Also by comparing and contrasting the different techniques he uses. Part of my lesson plan goal would be for my students to create their own piece using clay. Not only will they be using their creativity but this activity will increase their multi-sensory development: touch, smell, and sight.

Focus: ceramics, stainless steel sculpture

It said he usually uses clay stainless steel sculpture porcelain

How can you incorporate the artist or art medium into a lesson plan. Just like the artist students can create sculptures that show emotion and/or that show realism. Students can also use clay to sculpture whatever topic is even to them.

Focus:

It is a symbol for symbol of remembrance, optimism and healing. Monumental sculpture. Hand of the statue of liberty with pablo picasso’s friendship bouquet.
I can incorporate this into a lesson plan by teaching the students symbolism. How different artworks have meaning and can symbolize different lessons, traits, etc. The students can create their own artwork symbolizing something in their life.

Focus: The intention of this “trope of estrangement” is to prompt the viewer to reflect upon the familiarity and predictability of everyday life. - Marin

Art Piece Sample: Part of her Nomad Patterns collection, made with ceramic and porcelain, size not found.

Lesson: This artwork can be incorporated into a lesson plan about interpretation and critical analysis. I would show these art pieces to my students to encourage discussions between them, challenging them to find a meaning behind what they're seeing.

CHRISTOPHER DAVID WHITE

Best known for his sculptures

Lesson: Trying to make guesses on what an artist is trying to depict through their artwork. Allows for a child to think and try and make connections about something they don’t know. Will increase creativity and thought production.

Inflatable Dinosaurs, 2016, by Brett kern/ Clay,Glaze,Paint/ 

# data[].attributes.body
Lesson: Brett's cultures are a play with illusion in the sense that visually these look like real inflatable toys when they are clay. To create this, Kern forms creases and folds in all the places you’d expect for an air-filled object its seams. The tiny wrinkles on the dinosaurs’ bodies, arms, and legs resemble plastic material being stretched and pulled. I appreciate him creating something from found childhood memories.

Lesson: Reality can be tampered with when creating art and new, interesting things can be made. Things in the world around us are often uniform in their existence, and seeing them portrayed outside of this rigid structure can be extremely eye-opening. These demonstrations can inspire children to use their imagination to the fullest and create something new.
