2. Gather your Materials. Go for a walk or wander around your backyard collecting items to use in your mandala. Bring a bag with you to carry your items. Pick up things like pebbles, acorns, leaves, stems, twigs, flowers, etc., you can find anything you think would look good. As well as interesting singular items, try to pick up multiple objects too. This way you will have enough items to go around the outside of your mandala. (If you cannot get outside you can still do this assignment indoors by using items gathered from around the house: like legos, crayons, silverware).


3. Choose a Location. Where will you build your mandala? If it is a windy day you might have to choose a protected space or even build your mandala inside. If you are at a park will you build it there or take your items home? Nature mandalas are not meant to last a long time, so wherever you build it remember it will only be temporary. (if you are indoors, try to clear a large enough floor space to use).


4. Build your Mandala. Look at the pictures to get inspiration for your mandala. Start by choosing what will be your central point. Usually it is the largest or most unique item. Then arrange your other items around it. You can rearrange the items as you like. You are the artist and however you arrange your objects your mandala will be beautiful.


5. Take a Picture. Nature mandalas are not meant to last a long time. Luckily, we have phones and cameras. Take a picture of your mandala so you can keep your artwork forever. If you print out the photo you can sign the bottom, like you would any other artwork.


Store your artwork in an Art Folder for safe keeping until we meet again. If you’d like us to see your work, email a photo to your teacher. You can also have an adult help you tag us on Instagram. @Ms.FavarasArtRoom @Ms.Kampson

Grade 1- Mindful Art Ms. Pattinger Now more than ever it’s important to express our emotions. What better way than through art.:) Art can provide a healthy outlet for feelings that people need to get out. It is also another way of communicating when someone cannot always put into words. The following exercises can help your child to be more in touch with and aware of their feelings. Even reflecting on their art can give them new understanding about their feelings. 6 Image Art Sequence 1.      Scribble Warm-up 2.      Happiness 3.      Anger 4.      Anxiety/Fear 5.      Sadness 6.      How do you feel today You will need 6 pieces of paper.  For the scribble warm-up, encourage them to cover the pages with scribbles and lines.

Week 6 Art Challenge Square Heads It’s like a puzzle! Cut out the tiles and rearrange them to create different characters.   Art Supplies: Access to Printer Coloring Supplies   Scissors Glue stick Step 1:  Click the  link  and  print  the grid and tiles sheets.   *if you do not have color ink or are running low only print page 1 & 2. Step 2:  Decide if you would like to use the already colored tiles or color your own. If you want to use the already finished tiles skip to the next step. I suggest creating your own tiles with your favorite colors.   To create your own tiles, color in the shapes on the blank grid using  only 4 colors . Since we are creating a face you may want to consider coloring pairs of circles the same color for the eyes.   Step 3:  Cut out the colored tiles along the grid line. You should end up with 28 squares.   Step 4:  Rearrange the squares on top of the blank grid to create different faces. There are hundreds of p
