After discussing with each other how we could recreate a similar work of art with our students, we didn't waste any time getting our creations underway this week! Not only did this open the doors for us as educators to teach our students a new art technique, but with each day new day, our students got to add something new to their artwork and watch their masterpiece come together!
Materials:
- 8 1/2 x 11 canvases
- tempera paint (various colours)
- paint brushes
- tissue paper (pink/purple)
- clear sequins
- glue
- brown string
The Process
Our Mother's Day Masterpieces
Each one is unique and created with love.
I would like to dedicate this blog post to all the incredible Mother's of our students! We thank you for being such active and encouraging supporters of your children and we truly hope you enjoy opening your "Special Envelope" on Mother's Day!
We would also like to wish all of our followers, colleagues, friends and family members a Happy Mother's Day! Enjoy!
Hi Jocelyn
ReplyDeleteYour mother's day creations are beautiful. I am inspired by the technique you used and wonder what the material you used for the word mom?
I think there are a lot of moms who felt very special when they opened their gift!

Hi Heather,
DeleteThanks for taking the time to read and comment! I always love reading your thoughts :)
To answer your question about the material used for the word "Mom," the students used "sisal twine." We had to soak it in glue to make it stay better before they crafted the word, but the glue gun could've also been a possibility it just would've taken some of the art away from the students.

Wow! What a beautiful gift for all of the mothers of the students in your class. I'm sure that they loved these special paintings.
ReplyDeleteI also love how you looked at something that inspired you, and thought of a way to bring it into the classroom. You're so willing to try something new, and I think that is so important. What a great lesson to teach your students as well: the willingness to take risks and be creative!
Your students are very lucky to have you as their teacher!

Hi Aviva,
DeleteThanks so much for your wonderful comment! We had a ton of positive feedback from our students' Mom's who adored their special gift!
I couldn't agree more about the beauty of risk taking and trying something new! Sometimes it's the messiest experiences and the unknown that lead us to incredible places of new learning!
I always appreciate your comments and I know your students are truly lucky to have you as their teacher also!
Sincerely,
Jocelyn
