Scan to view Dylan flying

Congratulations to our very own Dylan for being the only elementary art student in the state of Illinois on the Illinois Art Education Youth Art Month Poster this year! Her magic carpet painting from this lesson in third grade. Coincidentally, this lesson is also featured in the March 2019 issue of School Arts Magazine here.
The lesson is transdigital, meaning it had a physical and digital aspect. You can scan the QR code on the poster to see Dylan fly on her magic carpet.

Putting AR in ARt: Augmented Reality

1/3/2019

2 Comments

I've spent months playing with augmented reality in preparation for bringing into my classroom. My 5th graders were my first students to go through the steps I had envisioned of making art, making the art move through animation, then witnessing the art come alive with augmented reality as they scan the art and see the animation.
I wrote about this lesson and every step involved in this post.

Session notes:

I used an animated sketchnote technique where I draw in the drawing mode of the Do Ink drawing & animation app and pull the elements together in the composition mode.

Below is a PDF of each slide of my presentation.

Things I learned or want to learn...

The Keynote from Deborah Smith-Shank reminded me not to be a Dragon in the art room (Drawn in Brushes Redux while listening to stories of Dragon Art Teachers who kill creativity and joy)

Art teacher Emily Fiedler shared her 1:1 tech ideas in a packed room

Here is her entire presentation (yeah!)
Resources I want to explore:

I caught a portion of Frank Bush's session that included a DIY Ukulele where his student assembled, painted, then learned to play their own Ukulele.
I loved this idea of combining art and music. Made my purchase already.

Update: I made a plan for how I'm going to paint my Ukulele when it arrives.

Update: finished over winter break!

I was really inspired by the project Megan Idell presented inspired by street artist, INSA who made Gif-iti art coupled with augmented reality. See some examples.

GIF-iti, animated street #art by @INSALAND. Excellent stuff! https://t.co/wg0lPQDArH pic.twitter.com/XZMbmFNVdm

I attended Kevin Fogelson's Fractal session and learned about some cool resources for creating fractals as art. I think I can use this video to teach about trees differently.

STEAM Playground

I demonstrated how to make a custom animated hologram. Here are my resources.

I had a chance to explore Susan Tiemstra's station with CreoPop 3D Pens. I took pictures of the creations people left behind. She said it is non-toxic heated ink cured with LEDs.

I practiced glitch art after talking it over with Justin Bickus at bit. He had a great suggestion. Take one file and open it in Text Edit and then open it again in Preview. This way when you change the code you can see the changes refresh in the photo.

Two Award Winners:

My former student teacher Matthew Etherington (who helped design this amazing lesson) won the IAEA Young Professional Award and my student Jessica was one of 40 artists honored for her artwork that was chosen for the year-long traveling IAEA Student Art Show. Find out more here.

Congrats to my former student teacher

0 Comments

The Illinois Art Education Association is now offering free webinars for professional development hours. They're short, interactive, and interesting (hopefully.) Check out the list of upcoming and archived webinars on their site (click button or here) to register.

Make it Then Move it: Mixing Physical and Digital Art
Wednesday, September 20th, 7pm Central

Format of Webinar:

The webinar will be synchronous beginning at 7pm central time. I will be sharing short pre-made videos that explain my content and then coming on your screen chatting with you through my webcam. You can interact by sending questions through the interface. Hopefully you will find it helpful. Feel free to watch the videos ahead of time so you can think of questions you might want to ask.

1. Express Yourself in Expressionism

Students made art physically then entered it digitally through the magic of green screen.
View the post here and my brief video below.

2. MAKE IT then MOVE IT: Animated GIF

Students make artwork, take a digital photo of it, then use Brushes Redux on the iPad to make it into an animated GIF. See my post for details and the brief video below.

One example of making art then using digital tools to move it

3. Make Digital Art Physical: HOLOGRAM

Students make a flipbook style animation on the iPad using Do Ink Animation app then make it "come to life" as a hologram. See my post for details and the brief video below.
The more detailed tutorial is on my post.

4. Rotoscope in a Mutoscope

Students collaboratively turned a video into a rotoscope (digital). These individual drawings were then printed and made into a flipbook mutoscope (physical). View my post for more details and the brief video below.

5. Animated Sketchnotes: Mini Stories

Take the sketchnote concept to the next level by animating them. Combine physical drawings and animations to tell mini stories. View my post for details and the brief video below to hear the secrets of some of my mini digital stories.

6. Haunted Masterpieces

Students can enter paintings as if they were ghosts haunting them using the Green Screen App by Do Ink. This gives students a chance to digitally interact with art, change the meaning, and reflect on the new story as if it hung in a haunted art museum. See my post for details and view my haunted paintings and meanings in the video below.
