#K12ArtChat is an #ArtsEd chat that happens every Thurs 8:30 pm CST founded by #TeamGrundler @ArtGuy76 & @GrundlerArt & share Ss' art on Fridays via #FabArtsFri.
Hello, Alisa joining today’s #k12artchat. I am an artist and teacher for grade 1 & 2 art and act as a reading support teacher at an international school in Japan. I’m scheduling my tweets due to the time zone difference.
My website: https://t.co/t8tjNmJ8bM@NAEA@TXarted#tlap
Hey Ya’ll ! Matt (Mr. C) from Shelbyville, Kentucky, teaching High School Art! Welcome to #K12ArtChat tonight! Glad to host! Introduce yourself/ where you’re from/ school/ grade level !! Gonna be a Great Chat!
Q1: Tell us of an instance where you have stepped `Out of the Box` with a New project?! If you have never stepped `Out of the Box`, why not?! #K12ArtChat
Hi, Laura from Plano, Tx I'm an Art Admin and I'm not sure if this an out of the box thing about me but I keep being told I'm a truth-teller #K12ArtChat
A1: This is my first year as an art teacher so every project is a new one for me. I’m learning a lot this year from my students. I did a multi media project with 1st grade. We drew fruits with oil pastels and made painted paper with watercolor. @NAEA@TXarted#tlap#K12ArtChat
A1:In this group, I feel like I'm inside the box when I say I'm always trying something new when it comes to teaching (& making, & listening... well everything). In many parts of my world, this is being 'outside the box' but w/ this #PLN, It's just how we roll! #k12ArtChat
What’s different and Out of the Box about me #k12artchat is that I haven’t always been an Art Teacher! From age 20- 25, I was a PGA Golf Professional in various clubs throughout the South and Midwest, before going Back to College at age 25, to ultimately become an Art Teacher!
Last year I was tasked to develop an art and innovation curriculum, I named Artovation. We incorporate tech, @RubeGoldberg , Large scale installations, circuits, robotics, and more! #K12ArtChat
A1 in order to have more meaningful conversations about artwork with students (and colleagues) I turned to using reading comprehension skills to explore Artworks. Worked better than I ever dreamed it would. #k12ArtChat
A1 began yr. in 2nd gr. with a project asking the ss to create a visual representation of “I am... I am not...” I wanted to begin by growing self awareness & building creative confidence. Many introspective creations. #k12ArtChat
A1: I love writing songs (music and lyric). Most of the songs are pop-ish, country. easy listening, or ballad-ish, but one time I stepped out of the box and wrote a rap song. #k12artchat
A1- a couple years ago I had a cart of iPads just sitting in my room for months collecting dust. Went to naea, saw @morphi in action and made up my mind to dive into digital learning experiences 4 Ss. @assembly_pixite too!#k12ArtChat
A2 I collaborate with my librarian to incorporate literature into my lessons with the littles-books are a perfect way to begin 60.minutes with kinders #K12ArtChat
A1- In 2018, I stepped out of the box, with these ideas; Clay Olympics, Cassette Tape Relief Sculpture, Phobia Drawings& Translucent Relief Sculpture #k12artchat all but the Translucent project we’re successful; BUT How would I have known Had I Not stepped out & taken that Risk?
Hi All! I haven't been on this chat in a while, but I'm Ashley and I just moved to Chicago! Something outside the box I am trying in my teaching right now is an art-integrated poetry unit using visual art, music, and drama. I'm a gen ed classroom teacher who <3s art #k12artchat
A2: On Fridays, my kindergarten and first grade students would create dramatic retells of a story we had read that week. Part of the project included presenting their presentation to their peers. #k12artchat
A1 I’m always ready to try something new. I want to show the students that there is no fear in art. Everyone can learn a new technique or just a project they never thought to do before. #k12ArtChat
A1: I wanted to connect to my African American population with more artists from their culture. One artist I found was Kehinde Wiley and it’s been a fav for 5 years now! We mix it up just to keep it fresh too! #k12ArtChat
A2 I've collaborated with grade level Rd to add science, math, literarure and social studios in my lessons to connect across the curriculum #K12ArtChat
A2 We've collaborated with the English department they read #SpoonRiverAnthologies and my students illustrated their written descriptions of the characters really cool to see them employ portrait techniques via literature #K12ArtChat
A1 Stepped out of the box late 2014 when I received a grant for a 3D printer. No idea what I was doing, my Ss helped me find the way. Changed everything! #3Dprinting#3dmodeling#k12ArtChat
A2: so proud of the collaboration with our elementary curriculum team which includes @RoweInArt & @EvansArtHouse our curriculum pushes Ts to build creative thinkers and Ss to dig deep! #K12ArtChat#PISDcreatesArt
Q3.
You only have 1) A map of the 50 US States, 2) Any quote on the Brainyquote website, and 3) the following mediums: charcoal, chalk pastel, graphite pencils. How do you `link` Language Arts to Visual Art, using these materials? Give specifics! #K12ArtChat
A2,I worked with ELA teachers to have their students blog about artworks. Students wrote about themes, symbolism, found textual evidence and made meaningful text-to connections. All skills needed in ELA, easily taught by viewing/discussing artwork. #K12ArtChat
I got you beat- graduated college at 21 as a Studio Art, Art Education major, did TV set design for about 5 years - started teaching at 50 years old. #k12artchat
A2: I collaborate with students and their creative ideas! Here’s something a 5th grade student figured out on his own. I simply asked Qs to help him get there. #tabchat#K12ArtChat
A2- tapping into 3rd grade physical science (shadow analysis) & ELA point of view w still life lesson inspired by @sdgonot . a lot of reflection to reinforce writing/speaking/listening #k12ArtChat
A3: of course my brain goes straight visual journals they are included in our curriculum early elementary through high school #K12ArtChat#mixedmedia#visualjournals
A2 I try and incorporate design thinking, writing, research, tech. And I try and collaborate w/other teachers to make it a 360degree learning experience. #k12ArtChat
A3 hoping the map is huge, we spread it out on the floor and students find a quote as prompt and develop graffiti like journeys all over based on the prompt their words tell the story #K12ArtChat
A2- In 2018, I collab. w. 4th grade teachers @SimpBobcats taking 25 of my Top Students who understood how to use the dip pen the best, taking them to the elem. to teach 94+ students Penmanship/ Calligraphy Skills on National Handwriting Day #k12ArtChat We go next week for 2019!
A3: since I teach in Japan I would probably use a map of Japan instead. I would have stundents draw the shape of Japan with images of things that represent japan as a country. #k12artchat@NAEA@TXarted#tlap
A2: I get on the grade levels curriculum and find some connections I can make in the art studio. I love it when a grade level teacher says her class said they knew some/all of the lesson because of what they learned in my class! We just go about it in a different way! #K12ArtChat
A2: Art is everything, it is so hard not to connect to history, literacy, science, etc every day! I try to make connections all the time. A glimpse at layers of soil with clay. Takes a second, deepen learning cross-curriculum! #K12ArtChat
Not on this computer but I'm working on putting more together.......I have several presentations - PM me and I'll send you a google silde show tomorrow #K12ArtChat@EvansArtHouse do you have any?
In reply to
@Ashodactyl, @k12artchat, @EvansArtHouse
A4: I try to connect art lessons to literacy experiences. For December we read the polar express and watched video clips of the train then drew a train with a mini lessons on perspective. #k12artchat@NAEA@TXarted#tlap
Q5. Design a lesson around all or one of the following non-traditional materials cassette/videotape, old computer parts, plastic utensils, fishing line & paperclips. What does it look like?! Share the goal. Share connections to an Experience for Total Engagement #k12ArtChat
A2 i love to incorporate my Native American Heritage, as well as ALL SUBJECT areas... seeing as art is life. ;) Science is my favorite though. #k12artchat
I'm looking to incorporate more art and design thinking into my math lessons. Especially considering visual representations in math. Do any of you have ideas/have any of you done this in your collabs with teachers? #K12ArtChat
A3: Brainy Quote "Plants exist in the weather and light rays that surround them - waving in the wind, shimmering in the sunlight. I am always puzzling over how to draw such things." Hayao Miyazakir ~In K we could draw state plants, & then we could write/talk abt them. #K12artchat

A4 We also took our students to Italy 🇮🇹 last summer it was very rewarding to travel with them and learn together about Italian art and culture #K12ArtChat
a4 I love to teach my students about sacred geometry and the golden ratio.... we talk about how our bodys and all things in the universe grow in this pattern. #k12artchat
(See Below) My 6th graders are modeling cardboard buildings on homes from a different than their own. They had to research a residential building in any community other than suburban United States. #k12artchat
Construction is underway in 6th grade art! I loving seeing how each student brings in their individual style! Learn more about this lesson here: https://t.co/ohVCydVKqR#STEAM#HoweManning#arted
Q3- Students would first pick a US State, no doubling up; look on Brainyquote for a quote that best represents their States Motto & Ideals; students use the drawing materials to recreate the state, with all the main roads in their chosen quote #k12artchat Engaged through Choice!
A5: I think I would have the Ss make paper clip people and make stop motions videos with the paper clips coming to life and going on adventures. #k12artchat@NAEA@TXarted#tlap
Q4: When I was in the classroom, my students recited poetry they learned for parents after school and for school staff members during school. #k12artchat

I would share info about Tyree Guyton and the Heidelberg project in Detroit then let Ss create their own repurposed masterpiece! #Heidelberg#k12artchat

A5 sounds like a McGyver lesson. What if... they use the human-centered design process & interviewed a classmate @ their workspace. After empathy interview, use the simple materials mentioned to design a new work space that better meets the learners needs. #k12ArtChat

Bonus: Which colleague, that you follow on Twitter would you like to like to collaborate with the most and why? What subject does your colleague teach?! What type of `experience` would you work into your planning, so you can amp up the learning? #K12ArtChat
A1 Out of box-Moving Masterpieces- Hummingbird Robotics, the world without art is eh gamification, 10,000 golfball tee mural, curiosity cabinets ( your own art museum), golden mean drones, banraku puppets - it would be a shorter list to ask when are you in the box. #k12ArtChat
A3- Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works- Steve Jobs. Ss redesign the boundaries of the states, altering/combining and then explain their reasoning #k12ArtChat
5th grade Artovators go big or go home! Check out these finished Fibonacci Sequence works of art. Imagine the compass they needed to make these babies! #Artovation#HoweManning#arted
1. Quote: Students choose a civil rights quote as a class 2 feature
2. Map: Students sketch a scene from the C.R mvt in the style of @Nate_Powell_Art's @MARCHTrilogy illustrations. 3. Students and cut their drawings out in the shape of a state & glue it over the map. #k12artchat
In reply to
@k12artchat, @Nate_Powell_Art, @MARCHTrilogy
A5: The first thing that came to mind was when I would put out all the classroom art supplies (including the glitter!) on a table and let students create their own Christmas ornaments! The experience was creating a special gift for their parents/guardians. #k12artchat
A5 I think I might also do assemblage and let Ss go dumpster diving in the parts developing their own story about the history of these objects and let them invent a new interpretation #k12artchat
A4- My Art 3 class & I Challenged @Richmondruss in Medford, Oregon to a Pottery ThrowDown on Dec. 14th, 2018. #k12ArtChat We then Challenged @aweninspiration in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada to a Sculpture ThrowDown, on Feb. 15th. All aided by Technology! Highly engaged students!

I was in Boston tonight checking out a possible venue for a #k12artchat meet up during #NAEA19 I love this city and can’t wait to share it with you all and #artsed Ts from across the country!

A5- I utilize all kinds of resources of the places I’ve been to craft projects for my students. ALL the materials in this question, students would use to sculpt America as best they could; they would choose a place, from a list, #k12ArtChat Creating Out of the Box Thinkers!
Can’t want to read ALL of the answers from #k12artchat and get back to Everyone!! Tough to keep up typing on my iPhone tonight!! @GrundlerArt@Artguy76 Thank You for the opportunity to Host 😁🇺🇸
I am athletic I am not perfect. 2nd gr. I am... I am not project. Popped balloon and broken plate symbolize she is not perfect. Inspiring self awareness at such a young age. Building creative confidence in the process. #k12ArtChat
A3 Ian collaborating with 5 different schools & different subjects - we have tech,English,art, using different talents to bring the best to kids. #k12artchat
Bonus- Okay, an idea that I’m SERIOUSLY Kicking around @MLCHS_Principal How Cool & Engaging would it be if we at Collins HS hosted ‘A ThrowDown Series’, where my Art Students Challenged a different Global Art Teacher a month, next year ?! #k12ArtChat Building excitement for Art!
