On their label, they were to write:

The information from this card will be used as both an assessment and also info for their Artome paperwork.

Once all pieces were complete, I blew off the excess dust and sprayed them liberally with Aqua Net. I did that three times to insure the chalk particles were attached.

If the pieces had been of larger format, I think that would have worked well.

I'm so looking forward to this winter art show. It's pricey but GREAT.

This project took us two plus art classes to complete.

We had to take "hand breaks" to give our wee hand muscles a rest.

By the way, the chalk I am using in the video is a brand called KOSS. (This is still a skill most children need to review) Once my demo is complete, we'll draw these out together on 9x12" black construction paper, (I like Tru-Ray the best!) but the students can add their own details to make their drawings unique.

Many of them took the time to pair up and lay all of their chalk out on the wheel. Someone recently suggested that mixing India ink with white glue works better. I'm a big fan of Koss Brand chalk which can be found on Amazon.

I'm excited to throw color theory into this lesson.

I plan to have several of these printed (and laminated!) for the kids to use at their seats as they explore analogous colors.

I'll be certain to keep y'all updated on their colorful progress...and stay tuned for more selfie lessons and videos to come!

The key is to use Elmer's All Purpose, not the school grade stuff as it's runny.

We use Sax chalk from School Specialty, and they work great!

Here's their progress! They are based on my own evolving artistic experiences and I proudly call this, The Silbersenze Method. We'll be using chalk pastels, (not oil pastels like we normally do)

It gets a little dusty and messy, but I love the look and coverage of chalk on this black paper!

Check out how stunning these beauties turned out.

This week, 3rd grade will be starting their Sandra Silberzweig inspired portraits. To date, over 500,000+ Silberzweig inspired artwork images have been enthusiastically produced worldwide!

In the Art Room: Sandra Silberzweig Selfies with Third Grade

I'm doing something new this winter: an art show with Artome.

It is the same chalk we used to create our ceiling tiles!

When I share this video with my students, it will be divided up into two parts: one day drawing and gluing, the next chalking. The difference between the puff and glue is that the puffy paint dries with a high gloss finish and is, of course, more puffy. The kids have loved the process of creating their abstract selfies so far.

Here's the video'ed lesson.

This way, they could easily see what colors were available to use. This was fine with me...I mean, look at those results!
