These are creative "kaleidocycles" that are fun to make. I have included the template as a base to work from.

Art Enrichment Learning:
- Choose four designs running through your paper left to right while making sure they are within their own triangle/diamond shape on your printout.
- By cutting, folding and glueing as the video shows, you can turn your design over and over viewing each section you create!
Hello third grade students!
I have been thinking of all of you these days while we are not at school. I hope you are each using your imaginations at home creating wonderful art just like we do in art class together!
I came across this video and thought it would be good to view since we have been studying the artist Van Gogh. The painting you see is the original "Starry Night" painted by Van Gogh in the Museum of Modern Art located in New York City. The people observing the painting are discussing what they think and how they feel as they look at the artwork. One of the women talks about how she sees the painting as someone who works in the field of Space Science.
One of the things I like about looking at Starry Night up close is seeing Van Gogh's brush strokes and how he moved the paint across the canvas. You can see all the texture he created in doing so.
This is where Art and Science come together so well!
Enjoy!

Art Enrichment Learning:
- Mimic Van Gogh's circular patterns used in creating Starry Night
- Cut one piece of paper in a circle (dinner plate may be used as a template)
- Starting in the center with a pencil, wind a coil line around and around to the edge of the paper.
- With crayon, outline the pencil line with one chosen color.
- Coloring inside the paths that coil, you may use watercolor, marker or colored pencil.
- Going back with a thin, black marker, write your birthdate in the very center.
- Continue writing about different things that happened in your life that are important to you. You will fill these "paths " up as your coil unwinds and gets closer to the ends.
- I hope you smile as you read all about you and what makes you special!
Hello again!
I hope you are all keeping busy and staying healthy!
This is a different kind of video I thought you would like to view. You'll see the people who work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York put up and take down the work of famous artists. One of them happens to be Van Gogh. You will see Starry Night as well as Monet's famous Water Lilies. Notice the scale/size of the Water Lilies painting! The art must be handled with much care setting up and taking down.
Another interesting point is how the museum plans the layout of the exhibition. You will see how they work in small dimensions planning just what art work will go where within the museum and how to use the space creatively for installing the art.
Hoping one day you can make it to the museum, but in the meantime....
Enjoy!
