GRADE 3 TERM 4 November 22 - 26

Managing frustration

We can all feel frustrated at times. Examples of frustrating situations include trying to learn something new, doing something difficult and dealing with another person who is annoying you. We can use our calming down steps to calm down first. You will also need to have patience with yourself (when you’re learning something new or doing something difficult), and with other people (when you are annoying them or when they are annoying you). Being calm will help you have patience in both kinds of situations.

ART

Shape an element in Art

Elements of art are stylistic features that are included within an art piece to help the artist communicate. The seven most common elements include line, shape, texture, form, space, color and value, with the additions of mark making, and materiality.

Shape is the result of closed lines, they are two dimensional and flat. Shapes can be geometric, such as squares or triangles or they can be organic and not have defined parameters and are more curved and abstract. Shapes in art can be used to control how the viewer perceives a piece.

Shape is a flat area surrounded by edges or an outline. Artists use all kinds of shapes. Geometric shapes are precise and regular, like squares, rectangles, and triangles. They are often found in human-made things, like building and machines while biomorphic naturally occurring forms such as plants or shapes found in nature.

GRADE 3 TERM 4 November 15 - 19 Resisting Revenge

Sometimes we have urges to want to get back at someone, or get revenge. It’s natural to feel angry when you think someone has done something mean and disrespectful to you. The urge to get revenge can be very strong. Has anyone ever had that urge?

Think about a time when you wanted to get revenge, and the feelings you are having.

The emotions you have when you want to get revenge can be overwhelming. First, we need to calm down so that we can control the urge for revenge and consider other alternatives. We could use positive self-talk to help us resist the urge to get revenge. Another way to resist revenge is to do skip counting or belly breathing. Sometimes it really helps if you step away from the situation before you try to calm down.

Now complete the homework labelled Resisting Revenge.

ART

Texture an element in Art.

Texture refers to the way things feel, or look as if they might feel if touched.

Sculptors and architects can create texture in a three-dimensional work of art by manipulating the surface texture of a piece.

Let's get started

Handling Putdowns

Homework Included

(Homework can be downloaded from compass)

Sometimes when people say mean and hurtful things to you, they can make you feel unimportant, small, bad or even angry.

We can use our calming down steps for handling putdowns.

After we have calmed down, we can use respectful and assertive language to respond to people who are putting us down. Can you think of way you can assertively tell someone to stop putting you down?

If you can’t get someone to stop putting you down, you need to go to an adult for help.

Avoiding jumping to conclusions

Homework Included

(Homework can be downloaded from compass)

When you jump to conclusions, you make assumptions about what is going on. That means you believe you know what is going on with the situation without really having enough information about it.

Sometimes when you jump to conclusions, you assume the worst. You don’t think clearly about the situation. You make decisions without having all the information.

To avoid jumping to conclusions, you need to have control of your emotions. When your emotions are out of control, it’s too easy to react without having all the facts. So you need to be calm. What calming strategies can you use? Deep centred breathing. Using positive self talk. Count.

ART

SPACE an element in Art

Space in a work of art refers to a feeling of depth or three dimensions. It can also refer to the artist's use of the area within the picture plane. The area around the primary objects in a work of art is known as negative space, while the space occupied by the primary objects is known as positive space.

Form is a three-dimensional object with volume of height, width and depth. These objects include cubes, spheres and cylinders. Form is often used when referring to physical works of art, like sculptures, as form is connected most closely with those three-dimensional works.

In terms of art, space is the area around, about and within an object. With consideration to drawings and paintings, our goal is to create the illusion of space.

language of Art

Space - element of art, refers to the emptiness or area between, around, above, below, or within objects

Positive Space - the shapes or forms of interest

Negative Space - the empty space between the shapes or forms

3-D Space - can be defined as the space over, under, through, behind, and around a form.

Let's get started

Today in Art you will be folding a 3D

bilby.

3-D Space - can be defined as the space over, under, through, behind, and around a form.

What You Need To Do:

You will need a square piece of paper or an A4 and we will cut it into a square.

Managing Anxiety

Homework Included

(Homework can be downloaded from compass)

When you have strong feelings, it’s hard for your brain to think. The feeling part of the brain can take over! When this happens, it’s like you “flip your lid” or lose control of the thinking part of the brain. Try to focus your attention on your body for clues about how you’re feeling. This gets your brain thinking again, so we can start to take back control.

Anxiety is when you get worried about something that might or might not happen. What are some things that make you anxious? When feel anxious about something our body starts to feel very uncomfortable. For example, if you’re nervous about a test; your hands gets sweaty, your face gets hot and your heart is beating fast. These are the clues that the feeling part of your brain is taking over.

When this happens, we have to do something to manage these strong feelings and get back in control, such us: deep belly breathing, use positive self -talk or do something that makes us feel good.

LINE an element in Art

Line an element in Art

A line can be vertical, diagonal, horizontal, and even curved. It can be any width, size, shape, position, direction, interval, or density. Points create lines and lines create shapes. A line can have other elements like color, texture, and movement applied to it.

Line is the most basic visual element.

Let's watch this video on Line.

Let's get started

Today in Art we are going to draw one line drawings.

A one line drawing, also known as a single line drawing, is a drawing made with just one line. For most artists it is a way to simplify the complex world around us.

Copy one or all of these images using a pencil.

Once you are happy with your work start on the border and the background.

Your border needs to look like image 1

Calming Down Anger

Homework Included

(Homework can be downloaded from compass)

Everyone gets upset from time to time. It is important to recognise our body signals when we are getting upset. For example, you might feel hot, go red and clench your fists. What are some of the signs your body sends you when you’re feeling angry?

When we don’t get our anger under control, we often end up doing things that we regret later.

Common examples that make us angry include: being blamed for something we didn’t do, having a fight with our friends, not getting our own way and dealing with another person who is being mean to us. In addition to using calming down techniques (deep belly breathing, and positive self talk), sometimes you need to either walk away from the situation, ignore it, or talk to somebody about it. Being calm will help you have patience in these kinds of situations.

When we are aware of these body signals, it is time to do something about it before we ‘flip our lid’. When you experience this, use your calming down strategies: such as slow deep belly breathing and positive self –talk.

This week practise calming down.

The art in value or value in Art????

The seven elements of art are line, shape, space, value, form, texture, and color. These elements are the building blocks, or ingredients, of art.

Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. For example: If you took a black and white photograph of your painting, the shades of grey would be the different values or tones within the painting.

Let's watch this video https://www.artbrit.com/value.html

Today in Art we are going to draw this square.

Open the paper up again.

Then fold it in half once.

You should have 4 blocks along the side and 4 blocks on the long side. so 4 x 4 squares.

Now look at one square at a time. Start in the left, top block.

Start to trace the lines only in that square.

Now shade in the square as you see it.

Note what you are doing.

How does your grip on the pencil change?

How are you blending the colours?

How are you making the colours darker or lighter?

Pressure or repetition?

Smudging? Rubbing?

What is the shape of the lines you are drawing?

Breathe and be involved.

Managing Strong Emotions

Homework Included

(Homework can be downloaded from compass)

We all get upset about different things:

*getting into arguments at recess about rules or fairness of the game

*fighting with a sibling or a friend about whose turn it is when someone jumps the queue

*When someone calls me a name

*Think about what your brain and body does when you get upset.

Calming down strategies:

Belly breathing

2. Counting forwards or backwards

3. Positive self talk

Belly breathing

Now we are going to practise deep, centred breathing (belly breathing). Make sure you have your hand on your stomach and take a breath through your nose into the lower part of your lungs. You should feel your stomach moving as you do this. Now breathe out through your mouth slowly and evenly. Make sure you can feel your hand moving out as you breathe in. Do this into your heart rate slows down.

When you do deep breathing, your body gets a message that everything is okay. That helps you calm down.

Counting forwards or backwards

We can count forwards or backwards with or without breathing to help us calm down. Counting can help you avoid saying or doing something that will make the situation worse.

Positive self talk

We can also use positive self-talk to calm ourselves down, for example we could say – “I can figure this out”, “it’s not the end of the world”, “maybe they didn’t mean to do that”.

Once you’ve calm down - ask yourself “what is my next step to fix what is upsetting me?”

Sometimes the solution is obvious, and you will know what to do and sometimes it’s more complicated than you might need to do some problem-solving.

This week practise controlling your emotions.

Managing Strong Emotions

We are ready to link emotions to our Art!

Stroking, hugging, or otherwise touching a loving animal or soft toy can calm you down when you have strong emotions. This week we are going to be drawing a Paul Klee cat.

Paul Klee

Paul Klee was a cat lover throughout his life and included cats in all of his artwork. His first cat, Fritzi was a model for his works in the 1920's. Bimbo kept him company for years, and Bimbo II accompanied him on his final journey to Switzerland.

He would let his cats walk over his paintings and leave their prints on his paintings. You can do the same.

What You Need:

A4 paper
Grey lead, coloured textas and a black biro.
Rubber.

What You Need To Do:

Look at the images of Klee's cat's and choose your favourite one.
Sketch your drawing lightly with lead pencil.
Sketch your drawing lightly with lead pencil.
Choose your colours carefully and colour in your drawing.
Before you colour in your drawing look at how Klee blended his colours. Use a rubber,finger or tissue to rub and blend the colours.
Now add small cat prints anywhere on your drawing.
Look very carefully at the background in image 2. There are hazy squares throughout the drawing. If you fold your page many times you can create these square.
Be calm and enjoy.

Introducing Emotion Management

Artists make choices about how to express feelings through art. They do this by choosing what to draw, what colours to use, how to use line and texture to make people feel emotional.

This week, we are going to be drawing a pattern to help us control our emotions.

We also need to choose colours carefully because different colours can represent different emotions.

What You Need:

A4 paper
Grey lead, coloured textas and a black biro.
Rubber.

What You Need To Do:

Look at all the patterns around the page and choose one to draw.
Fold your A4 paper in half and in half again. Two times. This will help you to keep the pattern straight.
Choose a starting point. eg. In the center of the page or at the corners of the paper or along the top of your page.
Look very carefully at the pattern you have chosen and follow it.
Choose your colours carefully.

Get inspiration from the images. ENJOY!!!
