Hey teachers, Missour Testic here and if you are looking for some awesome back-to-school artworks for your classroom I have a few new ones that I've added to my teacher's payteacher store this year So the first one that I have added is this lovely rainbow snake So it's a great way to learn colors and also explore a couple different mediums So with this one we're going to be painting with our fill markers while we learn the different colors of the rainbow And then we're going to use our soft pastels on the background to create another rainbow And while we learn about again the colors So this is a great primary project that you can use for I would say grade one in one two three around that age group and of course it makes a lovely rainbow art project Beautiful for bullets and boards and display for the beginning of the school year Great way to introduce colors to kids. You can of course find the link to this resource in the description of this video Now if you have older kids which a lot of us do I have a couple different art lessons so the first one is Inspired by artist Yaiyue Kusama So this is my Yaiyue Kusama inspired apple and this one is using a couple different art mediums as well It's a video architorial and so is the rainbow snake So really if you're needing a break from teaching in the beginning of the year or you just want to be able to have a second body So me teach the lesson and then you go around and help the kids in your classroom These are video tutorials and you can use them in two ways one you can use them to learn the project yourself And then demonstrate it in your classroom or you can Play the video in your classroom and then pause it as you need to while you are Zooming around the room helping out kids in your classroom So you're kind of supporting them and i'm teaching them and maul in part to lesson or we can both do it in same time Of course these are video art lessons so it's flexible for how you use it So check them out All the ones enjoying in this video are all video architorials and don't worry I also provide the PDF that has your bulletin board display sawing your lesson plans assessment rubric reflection sheets All that jazz is also included So that's yeah you're a kusama you can find this fabulous art resource The link to it in my teacher's teacher's store is simply just down in the comments section or the description of this video I'll have a link direct link to it again It comes with a PDF full of everything you need to teach lesson again including your bulletin board display sign your assessment rubrics Your reflection sheets and so much more so our next one We're gonna take a look at is a final one especially if you have like upper elementary or middle school This project is surrealist school supplies. So it's inspired by Salvador Dali It's a great way to introduce your kids to style of surrealism and you can also talk about Salvador Dali and teach him If you want to try to use that as an artist hook um and teach our history but You can do it in a back-to-school theme with surrealist school supplies So check out this fun art lesson you can see Very much in the style of Salvador Dali persistence of memory and you have a lot of choice in this art lesson So kids can kind of choose what they're going to include Well, and then how they're going to create the elements kind of melting and folding and dissolving in this sort of surreal dream like state, right? um, and then you can assemble it again following a video art tutorial In the style of Salvador Dali back-to-school surrealist school supplies again perfect for your middle school students And they also get to experiment both with drawing So illustration um, and also watercolour painting techniques to kind of like really hook their interests for back-to-school Art, right? So you want to really grab your attention especially at the beginning of the year You want to really hook them on making art and this is a fabulous way to do that just to kind of get them warmed up And then of course you can use it as an assessment to really Observe and see where you were upper elementary school or middle school kids are at, right? So do the art lesson you can see both their painting skills and um drawing skills and then you can kind of see where they're at and what you where you might need to take them um, through the year so essentially it can form your your slong scope or your your program for the year, right? So what you observe your skit your kids doing is going to tell you a lot about the direction you need to take them as a teacher, right? So that's why formative and some of assessment is so very important If you want to learn more about that always make sure that if you're in our teacher join their tastic collective membership enrollment is open right now only in the month of august not all the way to the end so you gotta make sure that you join Because time is running out so if you were looking for a complete program a complete our curriculum Make sure that if you are an art teacher you need to join their tastic collective membership You'll get all these art lessons included um Over time it depends you go system so make sure you check it out otherwise if you just want to grab this art lesson Description find that link to the surrealist school supplies our project down there all right Finally The last one is this name back-to-school our project If you're especially um just looking for something that be great for a bulletin board display at the beginning of the year your general elementary school teacher whatever Explore some name art. It's always a perfect go-to the beginning of the year This one's going to really just give them a sense of creating some box letters Obviously in their name and then some aspects of their identity around it So you can really just Again use it as assessment for seeing where they're at and where you need to start With them in your year Where you might be taking them next based on what you see here what they can and can do But also it's going to allow you to get to know your students I highly recommend that you take some time really get to know them study their artworks and what they have written here Especially sit down with them as they are creating this again. It's a video art tutorial So you could either do the lesson yourself and teach it or play it in your classroom when you Get it off a tbt or even with your membership. So they have to click to membership um, but If you're doing the video art tutorial and you're playing it in your class It's actually going to give you an opportunity to help with students again and float around with your classroom and see what they're doing Support them as they go, but you can also sit down and talk with them in between pausing and playing the video um, and just get to know them right? So some people are worried about Kind of remember kids names and all that stuff like that learning kids interests Well the best way to do that is sit there and talk with them You can associate their name their face and memorize that I try to do that a lot myself because I'm just a visual learner like that And then um talk to them about what they're writing with their drawing in the background to do their identity And just really use this opportunity to get to know your kids for back to school to really build that connection and sell yourself up for success For a fabulous school year, okay? So again, let's take a look at some of the new art resources. It's just go over them again So again the first one is this lovely Rainbow snake artwork Okay, learning your colors perfect for primary getting to know What your primaries kind of can't do and really getting them to experiment with some new art mediums Toly fun great for learning colors Uh, the second one again was yeah, like Kusama's apple all right, so Uh, an apple in the style of the egg or Kusama's patterns Contrast all that jazz again description of this video you can find this art lesson You got your surrealist school supplies fabulous for your upper elementary or male school kids great to see where they're at um and just Really ask them to be creative this year by applying this lesson in your classroom Or again, if you want to learn a little bit more about who your kids are do a name our lesson It is a great strategy for getting to know who your kids are We're finding out their interests who who they are Um, and then just allowing yourself a little bit of time and opportunities to Um build that ever so important connection with them. That's the basis basic part of Classroom management right so classroom management always begins with building a relationship with your students The greatest way to do that and start that Process is by just talking with them hanging out with them sitting down their tables You can even be drawing and doing your own Your name art lesson so you could be creating your own and going around taking it with you to each table But the students are working you could be working on yours so they can get to know you But also you can open up that conversation and get to know them as well. I think that's super super important um, especially with anybody who's a reluctant art learner This is a great way in Okay, it's not going to be the last time That you do this It's just the starting point for getting to know the kids in your classroom I'm measured toastic make sure that you subscribe to this channel find those resources in the description of this video and Let's make some art.
