Instructor: Sharon Gunter   
Paper Marbling with the 6th Grade

Welcome to the Art Room!
2010-2011

I'm glad to be here and
I'm definitely having fun.

Things you need to know -
  • This year (possibly the following years) I'm asking for $1 donation from each student toward art supplies.  This would greatly help with fundraising.  Thank you for any and all donations.
  • Watercolor paints - I like to have students bring their own to class.  I teach how to take care of paints and properly use them.  Students only need the basic 8-color set.  Most sets can be used for several years.  If you can - purchase Crayola or Prang paints.  They have the most pigment for the money.
  • HWJ - Homework Journals   Year Two - All students 1st-6th have made a HWJ.  An assignment will be given most weeks.  Yes, sometimes I toss a 'StarBurst' candy to those that did their homework.  We plan on having fun with these journals and creating some 'out of the box' ideas.  The theme this first semester is "Color Study".  All entries will be fun color theory assignments.

Jan Brett Lesson - 1st grade - Chicks
Jan Brett, author-illustrator, has a wonderful website.  She gives us so many lessons, ideas and fun coloring papers to use.  This lesson we learned how to draw and paint a chick.  Then students drew the background of their choice. Check out Jan Brett's website

Third Grade Music Instrument
The third graders where given an instrument to draw - without drawing with pencil first.  Brave souls!  Then they pasteled the background and watercolored the instrument using fun colors.  But some became just a line drawing.

HomeWork Journal - (We started our second journal) Students 1st - 6th will be given some kind of art homework through out the year.
