ART IDEAS FOR ALL AGES: (Pick one or two options).
Draw things that float, have wheels, roll, close, come from eggs, a monster truck, the boogeyman, or a pet you would like to have.
Draw what you would see if you were an ant, or what you would have looked like if you were a pilgrim. If you were a flower, a house, a shoe, or a car, draw what you would look like.
Draw your favorite act at the circus with yourself as the ringmaster, yourself as you will look in ten years, yourself in a favorite daydream, or how you would look if you had just received an Olympic metal. Draw your shoe from three points of view, or angles.
Make your own board game, a “how to poster”, a comic strip, or a picture of your dream bedroom, house, car, or a new machine. Make an advertisement for yourself, a map of an imaginary island, a new alphabet, or a new method of transportation.
Combine a plant or an animal for a new life form, or the head, body, and legs of three different animals combined into one. Give your new animal a name. Write a large number in the middle of the page, and turn it into a person/ animal.
Illustrate a scene from a book or a story about the “olden days”. Draw your favorite part of being home, or what you miss about school.
The more you draw, the better you will get! Don’t worry about the finished product much, just have fun and use your imagination. I will be proud of you for putting in the effort, so please send me pictures at: rwainshilbaum@halifaxschool.net

Painting to Music; Fun Art Project linked to music class
Painting to music is relaxing and helps you express your feelings. It gets your body moving, which feels good. You can also draw lines with whatever art materials you have. It helps you to leave your worries and busy thoughts behind.
Have lots of large paper and your art supplies ready. Play instrumental music that you like, (no words). See below for music suggestions. Close your eyes and just listen for three minutes. Then begin to move your arm in time with the music, like you are conducting the piece. How will you show high and low notes, loud and soft sounds, flowing or short sounds?
Pick up your brush, and consider which sounds you would like to paint lines to. Which colors reflect which sounds? Use the whole paper and touch the edges of the paper. No pictures, just lines and colors. Pick a few sounds to illustrate. Make a few abstract paintings. Later, fill in the white spaces with colors. How does your painting represent the music? Write a paragraph about that, and how you felt about this experience.
This project is enjoyable for the everyone. First find music you love. Vivaldi's “Spring", and Aaron Copeland's “Rodeo” are music selections Ms. Horton has suggested in recent lessons. The act of painting is MAGIC! Enjoy the colors and lines, but don’t worry about if it is a good painting. See examples below and ENJOY!
