i have been using Seesaw for my 1st-5th grade students for a few months to create digital portfolios. It is a great way for students to demonstrate:
-art making
-reflecting on their art making
-envisioning next steps
-giving feedback to classmates

A lot of classroom teachers use it so it's already something familiar to a lot of students.

27 Art Activities and Lessons to Try at Home

# data[].attributes.body
The Art of Ed University has recently made a resource for us to help compile ideas to share with our students.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In the current situation of the widespread transmission of COVID-19, the hands of educators are tied. Knowing schools could be the first places to shut down, we're waiting to see what's expected of us. Will schools close? What happens if my school closes? Do I need to prepare for virtual learning? What if my students don't have access to the internet or technology? How do I teach when students have limited access to art materials at home?

These are all questions that have probably been on the top of your mind in recent weeks. We don't have the answers to all of these things, but we do know that trying to keep some normalcy in the routines of the art room at home is going to be a challenge.

The approach to this situation is not going to be one-size-fits-all. Every single art teacher has a unique situation and different student body they are trying to reach. Keeping that in mind, you, as the educator, will have to develop ways to plan and facilitate learning in a way that meets your specific situation. To help ease the pain of trying to figure out what to teach to your students at home, we've created a list of ideas to help inspire your planning. As you look at these ideas, keep in mind the circumstances of your students, and make adaptations to serve your students best.
Have all your curriculum resources available from anywhere: FLEX Curriculum
Alternate Paint Ideas

Unfortunately, many students will not have access to paint at home. Consider using this as a time for exploration to introduce students to new types of paint. Challenge students to think about what natural materials they might have, much like the people creating might have used. Try some of these homemade paint options:

Found Object Ideas

Found object artmaking is a medium that has been explored by artists throughout the ages. Let your students' creativity flow by creating with the objects they have around them.

Here is a list of found objects that might help inspire your students. Try one of these found object ideas:

3-D Lesson Ideas

Planning activities and lessons for 3-D classes like ceramics and sculpture might present an extra challenge. It won't be very easy to truly emulate the happenings of a ceramics class without clay at home. Maybe, you'll get lucky, and you can send each student home with a pound of clay, but this won't be the case for everyone. Instead, get creative and keep it simple. Here are some ideas to consider.

Create temporary sculptures with household items. Have your students photograph them, and use them as a drawing inspiration. When you eventually get back to the classroom, students can recreate their sculptures with other materials.

Have your students create stop-motion videos using clay-like material. This can be done with clay, play-doh, or even cookie dough.

Paper Pottery

Here are some additional clay recipes your students can try to make their own homemade clay:
Lessons with Limited Supplies

When it comes to limited supplies, drawing is going to be the best way to have our students find success. They can simply draw with the materials they have, any type of mark-making and paper will do the trick.

Use these drawing prompts to continue your students' drawing skills.

Observational Drawing

Now is the perfect time to refine observational drawing skills. To encourage your students to take note of the world around them, encourage them to participate in the "View From My Day " drawing challenge.
Other Drawing Activities:
Additional Art Challenges to Engage Your Students

Use and adapt these art challenges to fit the needs of your students.

These lists are just a few ideas to help you create lessons or art from home. Just as in times of uncertainty, there are no silver bullets or definitive answers, but there are often options. As art educators, you do have options at your fingertips; at AOEU, we are here to help you find them.
What are your go-to options when schools close? How do your students respond with a variety or lack of options?

This is a GREAT assessment website for visual arts. It shows specific examples of different assessment techniques.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
by grade level: by method:

Printmaking-Landmarks: Peer Assessment

Instructor(s): Helen Pylarinos
Grade Level: Elementary (K-5)

Synopsis:

My 4th grade students began a unit on printmaking and created collagraph plates of NYC landmarks. They developed a list of the criteria for an effective collagraph plate that focused their printmaking and guided both written and verbal peer feedback. Students became more appropriately verbal, had more positive exchanges, revised their work and the printmaking process was enjoyable for all.

Multi-Media Self-Portraits: Peer & Self Assessment

Instructor(s): Ellen Izzo

Synopsis:

My 4th grade students created portraits across a variety of mediums. My students became more adept at transferring techniques from masterworks to their own self-portraits through a process of personal goal setting that incorporates peer feedback and self-assessment. In addition my students became more collaborative, articulate and independent artists.

Painting Birds: Peer & Self Assessment

Instructor(s): Lauren Donner
Grade Level: Elementary (K-5)

Synopsis:

In the painting unit my 4th graders paint birds and are often challenged by the element of
texture. Together we created a visual rubric and students peer assessed their partner's
work. As a result my students demonstrated: greater task perseverance, more deeply
analyze one another's painting, and improve texture through revision.

Printmaking Collagraphs: Self & Peer Assessment

Instructor(s): Caroline Heffron
Grade Level: Elementary (K-5)

Synopsis:

In this printmaking unit my 4th graders used peer and self-assessment to determine
whether their plates of People in Action were ready to print. They identified goals and
documented their progress in their art journals. Students went from never having analyzed their own artwork, to ownership of a routine where appropriate and actionable feedback was expected every class period.

Knowing that so many of us are teaching and creating remotely, I thought it would be fun to do a little art teacherin' online. I shared yesterday all of the resources of mine that are free and able for you to use if you need to prepare art lessons for at home artists. However, I wanted to create something fresh and new and do a little LIVE art teaching as well. So...here's what I came up with: Robot Week!

What's Robot Week? Well, it will be a daily dose of creating centered around the theme of Robots. I'll kick it off on Monday this this lesson that I'll be doing LIVE but I will also attempt to archive to my YouTube channel.

For this first LIVE, I'll probably go for about 30-45 minutes. We'll just play it by ear. If you and your young artists can make it, great! You can join me on
my Facebook page here or on my Instagram here!

Big thanks to our sponsor Dixon Ticonderoga for joining the fun!

Free How to draw Robots resource for you! To practice, inspire or color!

In my art room, we call these Idea Sheets. This one is yours here!

Mitch said I should make y'all a coloring sheet... so here you go!

On Tuesday, I won't be live but I will be posting a video on how to create robots that look more three-dimensional on my YouTube channel! Again, simple supplies can be used or swapped out for whatever you have on hand.

I am super stoked about this one, stay tuned!

I know we probably all have a couple of cereal or snack boxes laying around. For that reason, why not try your hand at a collagraph rubbing? It's when you cut and glue shapes to a surface, lay a piece of paper on top and then, using a "sleeping" crayon (one on its side), rub over your design. I then added a watercolor wash to some of mine!

It's a Build-Your-Own-Bot kind of Wednesday!

What to do with that cereal box collage? Well, on Thursday, I'll show you how to cover it in foil and make a print with just markers and water!

Oh yeah, this one's magical!

On the final day of Robot Week, we'll make a collage with one of my favorite papers to collage with: business envelopes! They have the coolest patterns and designs.

I do hope you'll join the fun! If you do, I would love to see what you and your awesome artists create. You can email me your images at artteacherin101@gmail.com and I'll try to feature them right here!

50 ways to use book creator (Jeffco tech tool) in all subjects

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Editor note:

This book was published in 2018. While a lot of the ideas are still relevant, most of the examples come from 2013 to 2017, when the Book Creator for iPad app was much more prevalent.

We suggest you check out our new resource, published in May 2023 - The Book Creator Toolkit for Schools & Districts.

Book Creator launched on iPad in September 2011. More than 6 years later the app is still going strong, used in classrooms all across the world in a variety of different subjects. And with the launch of our Chrome web app in 2017, we hope students will continue to benefit from using Book Creator.

We love seeing how creative teachers and students can be when using Book Creator. We're lucky that many teachers over the years have shared their tips, ideas and lesson plans as case studies on our blog.

This book brings together those ideas in one place, so you can browse through them and hopefully be inspired. Thank you to all the teachers who've contributed.

We've started off with 50 ways to use Book Creator, but we're certain there's a lot more than that! If you've got a great idea and want to share it with others, please contact us!

Happy book making.

I'm on a mission to revolutionize education with the power of life-changing art connections. Art is not "extra". Art is essential. We are empowering teachers to bridge the gap between art making and art connection, kindling a passion for art that will transform generations.

More About Me

Testimonials

I like how this program, unlike other art class resource membership programs, feels authentic. It's like art matters more here, and not fancy flash-in-the-pan trendiness. The goal of Art Class Curator seemed to be helping kids develop a lifelong love and art appreciation versus "Hey, look. I painted this fish."

Your questions are helping me to delve into much deeper learning, and my students are getting better at discussion-and then, making connections in their own work. Art Class Curator is awesome!

Denise W.

Interestingly, my lower performing classes really get engaged in these [lessons] and come away with some profound thoughts!

Melissa G.

I had the most amazing 6th grade class today. They were jumping out of their seats with hands raised just to respond and give input. It was as if I was waving candy in front of them! They saw more and more and the ideas and interpretations unfolded. So cool!!! This is what makes teaching art so wonderful – thank you!!

Caroline G.

I just wanted to thank you for the invaluable resource you have through Art Class Curator. Not only do you have thought provoking activities and discussion prompts, but it saves me so much time in preparing things for myself! I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface with your site.

Two Fridays ago my friend Steven visited the studio and I showed him how to make zines from a single sheet of paper. We spent a half hour or so catching up and folding, creasing, and tearing paper. At the end I said, "I haven't made anything with my hands in a while... that's probably why I'm sad!" (I wrote more about it and linked to a bunch of zines in the newsletter.)

I found myself stuck at a band function with my kiddo for several hours and never was I more happy to carry a pen and a notebook. I think I filled a dozen pages or so of scribbles and drawings.

I've been using my notebook a lot lately, not as much as a place to keep things I'll need later (that's what I use Apple Notes for these days) as much as a place to doodle and draw and write and work things out.

Inspired by reading Marc Masters' High Bias: A Distorted History of the Cassette Tape, I've been buying sealed, pre-recorded cassettes for cheap at the record store, taping over the protection tabs, taping over the music (using the runtime as a constraint for the mix), then taping over the artwork. January's mix featured a lot of music that isn't streaming, but for February's mix, I was able to duplicate the playlist on Spotify: " Music in the Key of Love."

As the late David Carr put it, there's just something about making things " with your own dirty little hands..."

Going into a self-quarantine can have many complex issues and complications beyond having enough food and supplies for two weeks. In terms of entertainment, it also probably means you're in for a lot of boredom, a lot of Netflix, and a lot of browsing the internet.

But there is a way to get a little culture and education while you're confined to your home. According to Fast Company , Google Arts & Culture teamed up with over 500 museums and galleries around the world to bring anyone and everyone virtual tours and online exhibits of some of the most famous museums around the world..

Now, you get "go to the museum" and never have to leave your couch.

Google Arts & Culture's collection includes the British Museum in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Guggenheim in New York City, and literally hundreds of more places where you can gain knowledge about art, history, and science. This collection is especially good for students who are looking for ways to stay on top of their studies while schools are closed.

Take a look at just some of Google's top museums that are offering online tours and exhibits.
RELATED: Is It Safe to Travel Amid the Coronavirus Outbreak? Here's What Experts and Agencies Say
British Museum, London

This iconic museum located in the heart of London allows virtual visitors to tour the Great Court and discover the ancient Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies. You can also find hundreds of artifacts on the museum's virtual tour.

Guggenheim Museum, New York

Google's Street View feature lets visitors tour the Guggenheim's famous spiral staircase without ever leaving home. From there, you can discover incredible works of art from the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary eras.

National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

This famous American art museum features two online exhibits through Google. The first is an exhibit of American fashion from 1740 to 1895, including many renderings of clothes from the colonial and Revolutionary eras. The second is a collection of works from Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer.

Musée d'Orsay, Paris

You can virtually walk through this popular gallery that houses dozens of famous works from French artists who worked and lived between 1848 and 1914. Get a peek at artworks from Monet, Cézanne, and Gauguin, among others.

National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul

One of Korea's popular museums can be accessed from anywhere around the world. Google's virtual tour takes you through six floors of Contemporary art from Korea and all over the globe.

Pergamon Museum, Berlin

As one of Germany's largest museums, Pergamon has a lot to offer - even if you can't physically be there. This historical museum is home to plenty of ancient artifacts including the Ishtar Gate of Babylon and, of course, the Pergamon Altar.

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Explore the masterworks from the Dutch Golden Age, including works from Vermeer and Rembrandt. Google offers a Street View tour of this iconic museum, so you can feel as if you're actually wandering its halls.

Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam

Anyone who is a fan of this tragic, ingenious painter can see his works up close (or, almost up close) by virtually visiting this museum - the largest collection of artworks by Vincent van Gogh, including over 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and over 750 personal letters.

Uffizi Gallery, Florence

This less well-known gallery houses the art collection of one of Florence, Italy's most famous families, the de'Medicis. The building was designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 specifically for Cosimo I de'Medici, but anyone can wander its halls from anywhere in the world.

MASP, São Paulo

The Museu de Arte de São Paulo is a non-profit and Brazil's first modern museum. Artworks placed on clear perspex frames make it seem like the artwork is hovering in midair. Take a virtual tour to experience the wondrous display for yourself.

National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico City

Built in 1964, this museum is dedicated to the archaeology and history of Mexico's pre-Hispanic heritage. There are 23 exhibit rooms filled with ancient artifacts, including some from the Mayan civilization.

Sadly, not all popular art museums and galleries could be included on Google Arts & Culture's collection, but some museums are taking it upon themselves to offer online visits. According to Fast Company, the Louvre also offers virtual tours on its website.

To see more of Google Arts & Culture's collection of museums, visit the collection's website. There are thousands of museum Street Views on Google as well. Google Arts & Culture also has an online experience for exploring famous historic and cultural heritage sites.
