Kayjking(c) re: Jeopardy Art Game (JeopARTy) to Review Art Concepts
Tricia, My students loved this game! I wanted to check on a few of the answers. What about Type for 400 and 500 and Senses for 100. I know what I told my students but wanted to check with you on the answers.

I'm glad they enjoyed the game. Here is what I would say on those questions...
Type: 400=Portrait
Type: 500= Figure Drawing
Senses: 100=Texture

Hi, Tricia! I downloaded the pumpkin patch ppt, and I love the final product. I am not artistic however, and could use some more guidance in the How To department! For example, when you painted the sky and grass background, did the children just paint with a paintbrush, or did they sponge it on, or what? Did you have 3 different shades of orange construction paper, or did they paint white paper in different shades of orange? I assume you used tempera, but I was wondering if you could use watercolor for the background, and tempera for the wind and grass? Did you just use permanent markers for the outlining part? Can you tell I am insecure? Can't wait to try this with my kinders though...

Hello!
Let's see...
I put out a cup of red/blue. The students stirred it withe their brushes to make purple then painted the swirls in the sky. Then I put out a cup of blue/yellow and they did the same thing with different brushes for the grass. If you want to use cotton swabs instead (then toss em) that would work.
Yes, three different shades of orange construction paper for the pumpkins-but painting orange is a nice idea too. Your watercolor idea works too. You just probably need to wait in between steps to let things dry before the swirls and grass.
I used thick black marker-permanent is my favorite since it's so bold, but water based works too.
Have fun!

Tricia,
I was going to try this lesson tomorrow with my fifth grade class. How did you teach then do draw in the 3/4 poise? Any tips? Did you have a template for size? I assume you used permanemt markers to ourline. When i have tried using them over tempera, the markers quit working.

I have them grid the oval for their portrait first and I guide them step by step. I give them all little hand held mirrors from the dollar store. Maybe I should post my powerpoint for this lesson. I use really great black markers that stay juicy for a long time. They are called Dixon Redimark Permanent Markers. Hope this helps.

I like the Newsweek product and could make one with publisher. What interested me about the template was the graphic design. What did your students use to create the self portrait?

I've done it two ways so far. One group painted their self-portrait on paper which was a lesson in its own. Then I took digital picts of their portraits and they erased the backgrounds and added it to the template.

Another way, the self-portraits were all drawn in Photoshop Elements using a graphic tablet.

Crazy Talk looks very cool-but it doesn't work on a mac. I compose the songs and lyrics in Garageband. You should look at getting yourself a Macbook. They're so easy to use and full of goodies. If you don't think you'll be making DVD's you can skip the "super drive" and save yourself some money. Have fun!

Tricia,
Thanks for your response.I am familar with your school webpage while working on National Boards last year. I also passed! My goal is to learn as much as i can about technology.
I purchased the newsweek lesson and only received the cover picture. How do i get the lesson?

What you downloaded was the Newsweek powerpoint template. It might have just looked like a picture, but really it is a template that has place holders for the newsweek design, image, and text boxes. That's all you need for the project to get started. The little screencast video: http://www.screencast.com/t/9uR2gShdAKk
demonstrates how the template works. Would you like more detailed instructions? I could write some up if you need them. Let me know. My email address is tricia_fuglestad@yahoo.com. Please use my email so that if I need to send you more information I can just attach it to my reply. Congrats for passing the National Boards. That's Huge!!!!!!

Hello Kay,
I'm glad you're interested in some of these things. I do everything on a MAC. That's the only kind of machine my school supports, but I tried to make the things I'm offering (ie my movies, handouts, and powerpoints) available in formats that anyone can open. I began adding technology as soon as we had the chance to hook up a tv monitor to our computers back in 1999. Since then I started a goal of making all my lessons digital. I have hundreds of things to share. I just don't know what people would want. Let me know what else you would like me to offer and I'll put something together. If you buy something and you have questions still, feel free to ask:)
The movie previews are in Quicktime format. If you have iTunes (which is a free download from Apple.com) you should be able to drop it in there and play it. Were you able to view the embedded video I have in the full description areas? Those give you a great glimpse of the lessons.
Thanks for writing,
Tricia

Tricia,
I'm so excited that I am able purchase some of your wonderful art tech lessons,music,and movies! How did you begin to start adding more technology with your students? I want to purchase a new computer. What do you recommmend? My school supplies us with a Dell Latitude.I noticed that you had lots of apple computers in your classroom.Another question, I couldn't open the free previews. It said error 43 file couldn't be found? I teach K-5 art and I'm amazed at how much you accomplish with your students!
