4. Beyond the Bleach Bottle Pig:
Real Art From Found Materials.
    Available on request
      Explore and be able to teach design elements inspired by the re-arranging of natural objects, the re-use of the found materials in nature and recycling materials from our own lives. Use the skill of "re-seeing" - finding new ways to create with almost free, fascinating and found media. Think "what if..?" & "why not…?"
      Learn how Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy re-arranges leaves and sticks to create ephemeral art in a cow pasture and teams up with the ocean tide to alter a hand built driftwood hive, how an African artist fashions a delicate motorcycle from used tin cans, how beautifully the African American women of Gees Bend Alabama, make quilts from work clothes to keep their families warm. These and other artists and techniques will inspire teachers and children to consider art as a thinking process that can occur easily with found materials.
      Create projects that show design elements such as line, shape, form, color and texture and principles such as harmony and repetition. Projects may include work with nature's art supplies, paper quilt design using the approach from Gees Bend ('my way' quilts), 3d construction with wood, wire, paper paint and much more, depending on the length of the class, student interests and materials available to us.
      Handouts and step by step criteria using Annie's well tested (20 years) lesson design methods and management techniques for engaging students in high creative achievement linked to state goals in art, language literacy and multi-cultural studies. Still cameras welcome and very useful. Some projects, like Andy Goldsworthy's work in nature, are not intended to last.
      Most appropriate for teachers of 3rd grade through adult learners, including art teachers.

      Create sample projects in color and design, drawing, mixed media, collage and other media. Analyze your own favorite books and design visual art plans to meet state goals and engage children. Books used in class are chosen for cultural diversity, thematic variety, relationships to childhood development, and artistic achievement. 3 graduate credits with credit fee $665, non-credit: $500. Includes posters, handouts, fun, friends, art time for YOU.

6. What's the Big Idea?:
Using blocks, paint and other art media to support language literacy.

Includes well tested favorites from Annie's three years of national work linking language literacy and the arts. Use blocks to help students show understanding, re-tell and create meaning. Enjoy Annie's color paint chip invention and crayon to create a Big Idea in a Frame (main idea and supporting details), explore expressive vocabulary by adding dialog to visual art and enjoy an emphasis on color, design and creative thinking in the projects. May include also "Drawing in the Sand with Sticks-using a hand made branch pen with black paint on a giant brown paper with a science theme.
