Pop up StarscapesAfter taking the Book Arts at aTi I returned to school in September ready for my students to take on some of these new projects. Their enthusiasm was extreme and I was so pleased with their success. This project is for
elementary School - Grade 2
Process
-Students are given a 12”x18” sheet of black construction paper. Hold the paper in the landscape position, fold in half and open.
-Students are allowed to select from 12 to 18 star stickers{different size, colors and patterns}
-Stickers are placed in an all over scattered design to evenly cover space.
-Star shapes are then outlined using construction paper crayons several times.
-Lines are drawn on to create the illusion of movement.
*Homework: Students are asked to create a poem or story, or write down a few lines of one that they know of that deals with the stars.
Class #2
-Students draw and cut out a spiral from a 9”x9” sheet of colored construction paper.
-Students will write their text on spiral and from beginning to end on both sides.
-Place glue on the center of the spiral and stick in the center of the right half of the folded paper with stars.
-Place glue on about the last 2” of the spiral. Fold paper in half and rub.
-When project is opened. Spiral with text pops out on a star background.
Objectives
Students will be able to…
-recognize star shapes
-identify contour lines
-line qualities
-recognize color patterns
-spacing (on the paper & between shapes)
-size relationship
-2 and 3 dimensional objects
-brings together langue and fine arts
-grounds
-new use of found objects (stickers)
-develop fine motor skills
-new vocabulary
-step by step development of project
-creatively explore space

Student’s grade will be based on:
-fallowing directions
-use of time
-use of space
-neatness
-effort on homework and readiness
-going beyond the lesson at hand and using techniques from past lessons
PLEASE NOTE:
I found that a very large majority of my students were very excited about the process of this exercise as well as the out come. Classroom and the basic skills reading teachers were pleased with the cross curriculum content of this project. I feel that the classes moved smoothly, the students were interested in their work and it was overall a successful project.

WOW! Great use of line, color and fun materials. Who ever said art class was "fluff"? I always thought it was a great idea to integrate the arts with other subject areas to reinforce & supplement learning. Your class looks like such fun & makes me think about getting back into the art room!
