1 Point Perspective Using Kleki

This week we worked on 1 Point Perspective using www.kleki.com !  I did this with my online students. I tend to get more work turned in using the kleki site, so whenever possible....we use it!! 

It was interesting doing a tried and true paper, pencil, and ruler lesson. The kids really enjoyed it though.

  

Here is the video of my instruction! 

Making a Portrait Using Kleki

Have you all tried kleki.com? 

It is so much fun, so easy to use, and free!  A majority of our students use the same type of computer provided by the district.....but some do not.  I wanted to make sure we were all using the same thing so I could give them instructions that worked for EVERYONE! I'm using it with 2nd - 4th grade, and they LOVE IT!!  Here is my asynchronous video for portraits.  

Give it a try...and let me know what you think! 

Op Art Fun (w/ Video)!

 My 3rd & 4th grade students love creating op art!!  This is a great entry level op art project where students can experience a ton of success! It is a great lesson for those teaching online! 

Spider Web Value Study

I wanted to work on pressure control with my students. They often work either extremely heavy handed or applying very little pressure. Value studies can be a bit tedious/boring, but they absolutely loved creating these value webs!  This a great lesson to do with online learners! 

Art Bags

Once we began teaching virtually, I realized many of my students did not have basic art supplies.  Because of some generous gifts...I was able to purchase supplies to pass out to those students in need.  Yes, I know that I bought "Cra-Z-Art" brand.  I wanted to be wise with the money that was given to me..and I could get more supplies if I went with this brand (Double the supplies!!!).  

My kids helped me bag all the supplies up.  They really wanted to help when they heard that some kids didn't have things like crayons & markers (something that seemed so foreign to them being children of teachers).  So thankful for their servant hearts!
