Shadow Art - 5/4 through 5/8
This week we will be making art using shadows. This week you have two options to choose from or you can do both! As always you can be creative on how you make your art. I'm always so impressed with how creative students can be when interpreting the art assignments. Option one was uses shadows to make a drawing. You can use objects you have inside your home or you can use things you find outside. Outside you can use the sun, keeping in mind that the shadow cast from the sun will change throughout the day. Inside you will need to use a lamp, a flashlight, a cell phone or tablet flashlight, a desk lamp or table lamp. You may need to prop objects up on boxes or books to get the desired cast shadow. Lastly you will need to select items from around your house, either toys or simple household items that you think make an interesting shadow to trace.
Option 1: For this option you can watch this video and follow the directions on how to make silhouette art.
1. Watch our instructional video below. The video shows examples and explains how to do the project. If you are having sound issues, please make sure that your volume is turned up on your computer as well as in the Safe YouTube app.
2. Create a picture frame using paper or recycle using empty cereal boxes or whatever you can find. The video shows you how to make a frame.
3. Create your silhouette using paper or recycle using empty cereal boxes. You can make an abstract picture or you can make something realistic. The video will show you how to make an abstract or realistic silhouette. (You might not be able to take a good quality photo of your silhouette. That's OK, share it with us anyway!)

Nature Mandala - 4/27 through 5/1
Inspired by Artist Andy Goldsworthy
This week we will be continuing to celebrate our Earth by heading out into nature. We will be making a mandala out of found objects from nature. Mandalas are a geometric design using radial symmetry to create patterns around the circle. The word mandala actually means circle in the language Sanskrit. Traditional mandala's are created for spiritual ceremonies and focus on meditation. Today, mandalas can be found in many pattern coloring books, on fabric patterns and in artwork.
To create our mandala we are going to focus on the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy. Andy Goldsworthy is a British artist who has focused much of his career on creating natural installations that are specific to the natural location. Many of his sculptures are created using leaves, rocks, branches, sticks, dirt and even ice. His work inspires us look at the world in unique ways.
Your Challenge
1. Watch our instructional video above. The video includes information on Andy Goldsworthy and a creation of a sample project. For those of you who would like to learn more about mandalas, a 4 minute video of monks creating a mandala is at the end of the instruction video.
2. Collect items for your outdoor natural found object mandala. (Please be kind and try to select items that are already fallen from plants. If you are using leaves or flowers please be considerate and not destructive.)
3. Select the location for your mandala and start creating! This is a project the whole family can participate in. If you have younger siblings that want to participate you can work together to create one mandala.
4. If you would like your mandala to be part of our artwork display please email pictures to [email protected] or [email protected].
Have fun and enjoy creating!

Earth Day - 4/20 through 4/24
Earth Day is Wednesday, April 22nd. This is perfect time for us to use our art to say something! As artists, we are able to use our art to advocate for the importance of taking care of and protecting our earth.
For this week, you will be making an Earth Day picture. You will have so many choices on what your picture looks like, what your message will be, what materials you use, this is the perfect assignment to be creative with the materials! Up-cycling is where you use something for a different purpose before you recycle it. For example, you could use the back of some mail or a cereal box or anything that you were going to recycle to draw on. Here are some examples of ways you could create your Earth Day picture.
Check out the "Earth Day Lesson" video from us below for information on the project as well as the National Geographic video for inspiration. We would love to see your artwork. You can share with us on our Facebook page or email a picture to us!

Shaving Cream Printmaking Paper Eggs or Decorative Papers
If you have extra shaving cream at home and either paint or food coloring this was a fun way to make marbled Easter Eggs for your windows. You can also use this technique to make decorative paper for cards, art paper, etc. This youtube video gives a good description of how to do this project.
https://youtu.be/cDzJD_HQ9Lk
Pysanky Eggs
Draw an egg shape on a piece of paper (scrap paper, cardboard, art paper, post it, etc.) Use pencil, crayons, markers, etc. to draw patterns on your paper egg. By making this paper egg you can appropriate the Ukrainian egg painting tradition, Pysanky. Traditionally, Pysanky eggs are made from real eggs that are painted using a wax resist technique. You can a view very quick video on an artist creating one of these eggs here

An explanation on Pysanky can be found on here, it is in subtitles, students will likely need help reading this. youtu.be/KKBgFWo6JM4
Peter Rabbit Drawing
The original story of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter is a lovely story about a little rabbit and his family. However, there is also an important story behind the illustrator and author of Peter Rabbit. Beatrix Potter started drawing at a young age and often drew the family pet rabbits as her subject. She was not only the author and illustrator of Peter Rabbit, she was also the original publisher. At the time, no on would publish her story so she decided to publish 250 copies herself. Her story later became a best seller.
Check out a reading of Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit and while listening to the story enjoy the painted illustrations.

Special Project - 3/30 through 1/3
This week we have a very special challenge for our GSD art students!
Artists make art for many different reasons. Cultural traditions, self expressions, to depict a narrative, record history, to express imaginative ideas, for their jobs, and many many more. One important reason some artists make art is to connect socially and support local communities. Community projects can spread kindness, lift spirits and connect people emotionally. This week we are going to create art that supports our local community.
While we doing our part to stop the spread of Coronavirus by staying home, we have many of our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other family members in our Gibraltar communities that are still out there working. There are many jobs that are essential in supporting us and we are thankful for all that these workers are doing.
Your challenge this week...
First - Watch this video to see some of our essential workers. These are just a few of our GSD family members that are out there doing essential work.
https://youtu.be/hkCAOFTC9KM
Second - Collect some art supplies and create a sign, poster or picture thanking these workers.
Last - Email a picture of your artwork or a selfie of you holding your art to [email protected]. In addition to emailing this to us, if you share on social media tag it with #GSDHeroes and #GSDPride
We plan to put the pictures together as a collective thank you video.
Ideas for your artwork (just to get the ideas flowing)
Drawing - Your drawing can be completed on cardboard, paper, newspaper, back of junk mail, lined paper, computer paper, backs of flyers, etc. Supply choices may include, markers, pencils, sharpies, crayons, colored pencils, etc.
Collage - A collage is an assemblage of items to create a new picture. Your collage could be made from magazine clippings, fabric, buttons, plastic tops, words cut from newspapers, etc.
Chalk Mural - if you have sidewalk chalk you could create a sidewalk thank you, make sure you take a picture before any rain
Legos/building blocks - Spell out words or make pictures using Legos or building blocks.
