WEEK 22 (M) - ART ACTIVITY: Artists are Recorders: Recording Our Character by Shakira Howard https://padlet.com/MsHoward_1/7knrkqtfwkaezn2l Unit 4 has been teaching us that as artists, we are natural recorders of events, places, and people. We can even record our CHARACTER! This week we will participate in the DOODLE FOR GOOGLE contest. The theme for the contest this year is inner-strength! Inner-strength is a character trait that people have so that they are able to overcome hardships and obstacles that may appear in their life.

Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent people, places, things, or ideas! Symbols have meaning behind them. Above are some common symbols. Do you know what they mean? Can you list any other symbols? Think about the symbols YOU will use in YOUR doodle to RECORD YOUR meaning of inner-strength!]]> 2021-02-01 19:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/MsHoward_1/7knrkqtfwkaezn2l/wish/1150455984 Mother's Day MsHoward_1 https://padlet.com/MsHoward_1/7knrkqtfwkaezn2l/wish/1150456437 Symbols are shapes or images used to represent something, someone, a place, or an idea! What symbols did the artist use in this doodle for Mother's Day? What Theme was the artist attempting to RECORD?]]> 2021-02-01 19:00:06 UTC https://padlet.com/MsHoward_1/7knrkqtfwkaezn2l/wish/1150456437 Martin Luther King Jr. Day MsHoward_1 https://padlet.com/MsHoward_1/7knrkqtfwkaezn2l/wish/1150457812 Some Google Doodles have the word 'GOOGLE' written in Plain sight! This means you can see the word 'GOOGLE' immediately and clearly. In other doodles however, the word 'GOOGLE' is inconspicuous. This means that the word is not clearly visible or attracting attention. Can you spot the word 'GOOGLE' in the doodle above? THINK about how YOU will incorporate the word 'GOOGLE' into YOUR doodle!]]> 2021-02-01 19:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/MsHoward_1/7knrkqtfwkaezn2l/wish/1150457812 Juneteenth MsHoward_1 https://padlet.com/MsHoward_1/7knrkqtfwkaezn2l/wish/1150458331 THIS WEEK you will use your imagination and DESIGN a GOOGLE DOODLE based on what inner-strength means to YOU!

The word 'GOOGLE' has to be included somewhere in your artwork whether in plain sight or inconspicuously. The Google Doodle above was created by a local Black-American artist honoring Juneteenth! Juneteenth is a holiday celebrated on June 19th, to show compassion to all those who were enslaved in the United States.

As recorders, we do not only think about WHAT we are recording, but also, HOW we are recording it. What art tools or medium are we using? You can create your google doodle digitally or you can draw it by hand on a nice piece of paper.

(USE THE SUPPLIES THAT YOU HAVE)
