Your welcome:) Now that you have the Diego Rivera lesson, you can also use it next year before Cinco de Mayo. I try to use it w/ my students and talk a bit about Mexico during the beginning of May.
Hope your kids love it.

This was awesome! Our data shows 60 moons for Jupiter not 16, though....We still had a blast doing these.

Art with Mrs Smith (TpT Seller)
Yea, I'm so glad the project was enjoyable. And thanks for sharing about Jupiter's moons!!! I'm guessing the kids had fun "correcting" the information, they love when they're right:)
Thanks so much for commenting.

I really like that you include a wrap-up as part of the lesson plan. That's a great to help students remember what they covered in class.

Hi Klaire, Thanks so much for taking the time to give me some feedback on my Pop Art lesson! It has been downloaded a lot, but I've received very little feedback. I'm glad you like the wrap-up part:) Tisha

This was a great lesson. my ELL class really enjoyed the lesson.

Art with Mrs Smith (TpT Seller)
Oh you made my day! Yes, I've noticed throughout the years how proud my hispanic students get when we do this lesson and I play up the part of Diego being the brilliant Mexican artist that he was. And it's so fabulous to sometimes have non-English speaking students in the classes I teach & see them get just as much out of an art lesson as the kids who do speak English.

Great Lesson, clear directions and easy to follow. This lesson is loaded with so much information! Thank you!

Hi Tam,
Thanks so much for leaving your comment! I especially appreciate that you noticed the extra info. about the artwork I included in the lesson. I really tried to give information that the kids would find interesting and make them appreciate the effort that Diego Rivera put into his art to make it more meaningful.

This looks good...before I use it I wondered which medium gives the best effect? Painting?? Thanks for sharing.
September 16, 2012
Art with Mrs Smith (TpT Seller)
Hi Lori,
Glad you'll be using my Planet Booklet lesson w/ your students:)
I used watercolor paints for my examples you see in the PDF. Just the regular Crayola watercolor paint set. I like the way the colors become light and dark naturally as you put them on the paper. I also think it makes the booklet a little more special b/c painting is sometimes a rare occasion in classrooms. Colored pencils would work too, especially if it's important to you to have the colors stay in the lines. (Being more right brained, I'm never very particular about staying in the lines.)
Either way, hope it's fun for both you and your students.
Best,
Tisha

A well planned out, complete art lesson that even a teacher who doesn't specialize in that area could teach!
May 3, 2012
Art with Mrs Smith (TpT Seller)
Thanks Scipi. You touched on my goal to help teachers offer art, even when they consider themselves "terrible artists". So many teachers tell me they're terrible artists when they find out what I do, and I tell them they shouldn't be lying to me and especially not lying to themselves. God gave everyone of us amazing creative abilities.
Thank you too for taking the time encourage me to visit your store. I never thought about putting a do not copy disclaimer the way you have. It's very professional and I need to add that too my products. Thanks Again,
Tisha

If you lived in California I'd be sending you some Mission art stuff, 4th graders all study California Missions. Alas, you're on the other side of the country. I've been to New York once, loved it!
As I commented on your site, I love your free download. I can't wait to use it next year. My art students are going to have a great time making their own arcade!

Your very welcome! Hope your students are proud of their flower baskets and learn more about balancing their artwork. It's surprising how many kids age 9 and up still put their subjects lopsided on a paper and don't pay attention to one side having way more shapes or colors than the other.

My first grade students loved this project. I think I will modify it next year so that each planet can have its own fact page.

Art with Mrs Smith (TpT Seller)
That's a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing that your students enjoyed the project. It really does mean a lot. Especially now b/c I'm in the process of devoting more time to my TPT Store (I've neglected it for 2 years!). I have many ideas for new downloads and hope to get them up in the store this summer.
Thanks again,

Wonderful template to make a book. Takes quite a bit of prep. time (especially when making it with 90 first graders), but the end product is worth it!

Thank You "Lawingeme", how fun to know that 90 1st graders at your school made their own planet books:)

I felt the product was too expensive for the quality of it.
May 14, 2011
Art with Mrs Smith (TpT Seller)
Mbart, So sorry to hear that. This download and "The Great Wave" have been my most popular sellers. I based the price knowing that it would take a teacher more than one hour to gather all the info. in the PDF and then make a sample & organize it into a reproducible form for their students to make their own booklet.
Again, I'm very sorry you were unsatisfied. I'd be happy to send you any other PDF's in my store for "free" to make it up to you. Let me know which ones you'd like:)
Best, Tisha Smith

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I began my teaching career in 1989, as a 5th grade teacher. Since then, I have taught numerous other grades. Between teaching in the classroom, I took a 4 year hiatus at which time I was the Education Director for the Cal Poly Performing Arts Center. This was a dream job, but the fundraising aspects were stressful for me. I then returned to teaching, and a turn of events brought me to my true calling and I became an art teacher.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I like to use art lessons to teach other subject areas such as science and social studies. The dvds I created, available on my website are fully integrated with multiple subject matter. When I teach art, I keep this quote at the forefront of my mind: "The artist is not a special kind of man, but every man is a special kind of artist." A.K. Coomaraswamy- born Sri Lanka 1887- died in Massachusetts 1947
