Introduction: School Emergency Art Project
I teach in a school in NYC and with the COVID-19 showing signs here, we have been asked as faculty to start to plan for our students in the event our school is affected.
I teach 3rd Grade Art and have created this fun (group) project that the students can work on individually at home in the event of quarantine.
The Supplies are...
lyrics to a song or poem, printed out
scissor
tape
good drawing paper
pencil, eraser, fine sharpie marker
large envelopes.
Step 1: Sit Beside the Breakfast Table
For this project I chose the song
Sit Beside The Breakfast Table
It is from an album and movie called The Point by Harry Nilsson. I printed it out and counted the lines and there were just enough for 30 of my students to have their own phrase to illustrate.
Step 2: The Next Step
Next I cut each line of the song into an individual strip and taped it to the back of the drawing paper.
Step 3: Packing Each Students Envelope.
Each envelope was packed with the drawing PAPER a pencil, eraser and sharpie.
Also enclosed was a copy of my note (Instruction sheet)
Hello,
Enclosed you will find paper, pencil, an eraser, and a thin sharpie.
There is a short phrase taped to the back of each sheet of paper.
Please do an illustration that describes the words on your paper.
Draw with pencil, and outline with sharpie. ( we will decide when we get back together if we need color)
The words may seem a bit vague, however, I want you to think about them and do your illustration as creatively as possible.
I will give you a hint. The words are lyrics to a song . Each student has their own line to illustrate. When we get back we will piece it together.
Have Fun,
Ms. Cirigliano
