COLOR BLENDING

Begin with the darkest crayon, blue. 

Begin are darkest side. 

Create value by using pressure, 

hard to soft. 

Continue throughout. 

Add in second color to make a new color. 

Blue +yellow= green cactus

Blue + red= violet Cardinal 

PAINT RESIST

Paint sunset by using the three primary colors. There are many colors in the sunset, except for green. So avoid using blue and yellow combined. 

I kept blue at top, yellow at bottom 

(to avoid green) and red in middle. Overlapping the two will create 

purple and orange.,

Boot are a BIG DEAL in Texas. Especially at the Houston LIvestock Show and Rodeo. Cowboys and Cowgirls wear boots for protecting and cleanliness when working with livestock. Spurs are worn to help horses stay on task. Boots can be fancy or grungy, depending of the job they have. Boots that have een deisgned more intricately and worked on as one of a kind are the facny boots. Houston has some very creative BIG Fancy boots on the town lawn. These are painted by local artists and are there as artwork for us to see.

The Project

Begin...

Looking at a boot from real life or images from pages, draw a boot and outline it with permanent marker.

Pencil Draw in a background for your boot. It can be a scene, designs, patterns, words or anything related to Texas, Houston, livestock or the Rodeo.

Outline with a sharpie.

Use a pencil to shade around the boot. This will give it emphasis and make the boot appear to be casting a shadow underneath itself. Blend pencil with paper stump or q-tip

Ligtly draw in the idea for your boots decorations. It can be a Texas scene, landscape, deigns, patterns, words, anything...

Color in the boot design with markers, colored pencils or crayons

Supply Board Magnets

This year (my third year of elementary art), I finally realized that not ALL my students could read!

So, when I write steps down on the board with WORDS, not all students (kindergarten mostly) cannot understand the steps. So, I decided to draw the supplies big, color them and cut them out. I laminated them and they put magnets on the back for the white board.

That way I number the steps with the supply next to them for better understanding. 

(see above picture). 

Here we are learnig how to make "Name Tents" to keep on our table. This will help me learn my 700+ studetns' names this year! It will also help me grasp their understanding of concepts on a continual weekly basis. 

Lesson is here...

I also use some of my posters coinciding with the supplies to remind them of proper care or usage.
