I would like to think that art can be incorporated into any subject to help <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">enhance</span> it! This year at The Graham School I have had the opportunity to teach foundations (freshman) in our experiential program. With the help of another art teacher, Jodi Kushins, we were able to get the students involved in some public art: The Mural Project. You can see our progress on our student-created blog site!<div><br /></div><div>These pictures show the students working together to create a practice mural. This practice was integral to their education about learning how to work together as a group and also to practice painting.

However, students can get bored with this concept. To make a still life more interesting for my students, I had them begin by studying artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude and their wrapped artworks. We watched the video <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">The Gates, </span>which documented the artist's recent work in New York City. The students began their still life studies with a warm-up drawing of the negative space of a chair. Next, the students wrapped the chair in fabric and twine. Students spent several days working on these drawings.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B4OMBHUk0XA/Sgoj6MHOtpI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/uoXWcZApDpA/s1600-h/Christo+Chair.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 192px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B4OMBHUk0XA/Sgoj6MHOtpI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/uoXWcZApDpA/s320/Christo+Chair.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335116191164708498" /></a><br /></div>Megan Mosholderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08516469903752772101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676796271995304766.post-70513501191722068352009-05-12T18:14:00.000-07:002009-05-12T18:33:36.261-07:00Negative/Positive Space: India Ink<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B4OMBHUk0XA/Sgoi6ShfgkI/AAAAAAAAAJs/mt2nintxxbc/s1600-h/Neg:Pos+Space+4.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B4OMBHUk0XA/Sgoi6ShfgkI/AAAAAAAAAJs/mt2nintxxbc/s320/Neg:Pos+Space+4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335115093373846082" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B4OMBHUk0XA/Sgoi6JE7NpI/AAAAAAAAAJk/H5m_mvB6A6c/s1600-h/Neg:Pos+Space+3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 228px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B4OMBHUk0XA/Sgoi6JE7NpI/AAAAAAAAAJk/H5m_mvB6A6c/s320/Neg:Pos+Space+3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335115090838107794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B4OMBHUk0XA/Sgoi5yBnPoI/AAAAAAAAAJc/BoXLIFDCGDc/s1600-h/Neg:POs+Space+2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B4OMBHUk0XA/Sgoi5yBnPoI/AAAAAAAAAJc/BoXLIFDCGDc/s320/Neg:POs+Space+2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335115084650200706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B4OMBHUk0XA/Sgoi5vwc7JI/AAAAAAAAAJU/8OAbZz7YvoM/s1600-h/Neg:Pos+Space.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 249px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B4OMBHUk0XA/Sgoi5vwc7JI/AAAAAAAAAJU/8OAbZz7YvoM/s320/Neg:Pos+Space.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335115084041350290" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>In order to learn how to draw, it is important to study the concept of negative and positive space.

Here is how I solved this dilemma: I used inexpensive items such as coat hangers, aluminum wire, tights, fabric stiffener and acrylic paint.<div><br /></div><div>Students begin by constructing a wire sculpture from the aluminum wire (less expensive if purchased from the hardware store). Then the students stitch cut pieces of the tights to the wire (less expensive if the tights are purchased at the thrift store). Third step: the students use fabric stiffener on the sculpture.

These artists and others like them were creating work as a response to the political and social changes of the United States and encouraged their viewers to see art works in a new, modernist way. After viewing several art works by both of these artists, students are asked to create their own "sculptural" paintings. Students began their work by making thumbnail sketches before gluing several different shaped boxes to foam board. The completed final piece is painted with acrylic, spray paint and paint markers. <div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Ohio Visual Art Standards</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div>Historical, Cultural and Social Contexts:</div><div><br /></div><div>Students understand the impact of visual art on history, culture and society from which it emanates.
