This document provides an overview of 3rd grade art projects at an American school. It summarizes 4 projects: 1) having students draw the shape of their initial letter and add personal details; 2) drawing shoe observations focusing on proportion and texture; 3) using ink blots to find abstract pictures and spark imagination; 4) using wire to draw faces in space by playing with shadows and proportions in the style of artist Alexander Calder. The art teacher's role is to teach art concepts and skills to promote self-development through reflection, observation, and problem-solving. Students are encouraged to apply their art experiences beyond the classroom.

With the changing media landscape, our streams, memes, and zines have exploded with imagery, ushering in a need for visual literacy skills. We have some false beliefs about visual language - that it is equated with “art”, requiring “talent” from “creative types” - and therefore it is unfortunately often not overtly taught and practiced in schools. Technology has affected knowledge in such a way as to diminish the value of “raw” information and increase the value of sense-making, as well as chip away at attention spans, sparking a need for distillation of complex ideas. Images can essentialize the cumbersome in beautiful ways. They have a “stickiness” for the viewer and challenge the critical thinking of the creator.

“Train of Thought” by Leo Bridle
Simple Outline
“A Journey for Love”
I. Leo Bridle and Ben Thomas were the film makers.
a. I believe they are in their late 20s and early 30s, and they graduated from the Arts Institute at Bournemouth.
b. From the United Kingdom.
II. The basic structure of the artwork is Film.
a. Material used was digital compositing software and all the animations were done by hand and not the compositing software.
b. The subject of the seemed to be the young artist and he seemed to have been in search of someone. Everything seemed to be between and a gray/sepia scale with a design using cut outs and wooden toys.
III. I think this whole film was based on love.
a. My 1st idea is that he is trying to find the woman he loved. He may have seen her before at the station and drawn her out of memory and may have come back to find her there. When he didn’t, he hopped on the train in search for her only to come up empty. I believe he used his drawing pad as some sort of map as to where she may have been. When he doesn’t find her, he returns to the station once again and this time, he finds her. He then realizes that she may be an artist as well and may have gone through the same processes to find each other.
b. My 2nd idea is that he may have drawn her as well as the other drawings in his book subconsciously and realized this was a woman he had to meet. He then returns to the train station, which is the setting of his drawing. When she doesn’t come, he hops on the train and then goes in search for the woman that he loves. When he doesn’t find her he returns back to the station and that is where he finally sees her. They go towards each other and hold hands, seeming like they both went through the same measures to find each other.
I think the way the film makers used photography and film made this a very interesting form of media. Everything looked cartooned and real at the same time. The train station and the train themselves looked like they were made out of wooden toys and the people all looked like cut outs that were animated to look like they were moving, inside of their cut out frames. This was a well done film and they filmmakers did a wonderful job. I must say it sure caught my attention.

Introduction to the Drinking Maiden Exhibition
Story Style
"A Maiden in Born"
My color is milky white and thus a maiden is born... I was created by the great sculptural artist Ernst Wenck in 1901. He created my soft white body by using his strong meticulous hands. He is indeed an artist. I was created in a time when conservatism was not very popular. Because of my intricate detail and the delicate image I carry I became a model for porcelain miniatures.
If you study my structure you see the qualities that may have lead to my continued popularity. I lean forward and you see the muscle tone of my leg by the light tha ...
Doodle art is a warm-up exercise that allows students to learn how an artist thinks using elements of art and principles of design, It is how an artist plays and it is fun!
2. Welcome to the 3rd Grader’s PPT art exhibition! Each Grade in
Primary has an average of 15 art classes per school year thus
most of the projects that you will see took an average of 4 art
periods. This enables the children to better understand the notion
and to become more familiar with the concepts and technique (s)
being used. These art projects can also be seen as a process of
discovery, rather than just a finished product.
As an art teacher, my role is to not only introduce the language of
art (through the 5 elements of design) but to also encourage skills
that promote self development in general through reflection,
observation, concentration, imagination, problem solving,
and improvisation (the happy accident)!
One can only hope that the children take these experiences out of
the art room to see the world with new eyes.
I hope you enjoy the show!

was stuck for an idea he would stare at a dirty
stucco wall.
In it he would find: landscapes, battles,
clouds, humorous faces and draperies…
