♪ Good morning to a brand new day ♪ ♪ Time to learn and games to play ♪ ♪ Learning things is so much fun ♪ ♪ Learning is good for everyone ♪ (playful music) - Hello, early learners.

And welcome back to the art room where we are doing a snowman study.

Let's start out with our hello song and then we'll move right into our art and it goes like this.

♪ Hello, nice to see you, everyone ♪ ♪ Hello, nice to see you, everyone ♪ ♪ Hello to you, hello to you ♪ ♪ Hello to you, hello to me ♪ ♪ Hello, nice to see you, everyone ♪ All right, my two people I'm saying hello to today are Paige and Nora.

Hi, Paige and Nora.

Glad to have you join us and do your art with us.

Now, yesterday, we talked about Henri Matisse, the French artist, and we did a collage of colored paper making that snowman.

Today, we are talking about Andy Warhol.

Now, Andy Warhol, we did a study of him when we learned about the nutcracker and doing four things repeated.

Well, he was a pop artist, which we know stands for popular art.

And he did paintings but he also did screen prints where he would print one thing and then he would change it just a little bit.

Here's Marilyn Monroe, and she has a bright pink background and bright pink eyeshadow.

And there she is with a greenish background with turquoise eye shadow.

And here she is in orange and here she is in red.

Well, we are going to do snowmen.

Now, these snowmen are being done from a worm's eye view.

When we did our art using apples, we did a bird's eye view, which is looking down at the art.

We're going to be doing it from a worm on the ground, looking up toward the snowman space.

So the bottom is quite large, the medium size is medium and his head is at the top.

And each one of my snowman that I did all have a different color hat and a different color scarf.

So I'm also doing a different color on each of the background.

So when I glue it on a bigger piece of paper, the four of them will be there and they won't be exact because I'm not screen printing them, and printing them and putting them on.

But it'll get the idea of what Andy Warhol did was where you'd see something with a little different color, and it would give you a different feeling inside when you looked at it.

And we're looking at Marilyn and let's sing the song.

♪ If Warhol painted a snowman ♪ Ready.

♪ If Warhol painted a snowman ♪ ♪ How would that snowman look ♪ ♪ Would he be like his other work ♪ ♪ Let's check out the book ♪ Now, the book we're using is "If Picasso Painted a Snowman" and Amy Newbold and Greg Newbold made this book but they didn't put every artist I wanted to study.

So Warhol is not in here but we're still studying him anyway, such an interesting artist.

So let me get my little makeshift table here so that we can start with pastels.

I'm bringing this up and putting it on my lap.

I have four pieces of paper.

I have my big pastels.

I have my little pastels that are all peeled.

And I have some peeled white ones that I have here ready for me to do.

Now, if you're using a crayon, that's just fine.

It's just not as soft.

So don't worry if you don't have these materials and maybe you want to paint them.

You decide how you're going to do this art.

The idea is having a different view.

So using a worm's eye view, I'm going to start in the lower corner and I'm going to do this just like this for a minute, boys and girls, to show you.

This peeled piece of pastel is just short.

So when I go to do this, I can start on one edge and I'm gonna press harder at the top of my circle than I do at the bottom.

So I'd go a rainbow shape like that.

That's going to be the worm's eye view of the bottom of this snowman's body.

The next time I go, I doing it a little lighter.

The next time, a little lighter.

And finally, the lightest of all.

That is the snowman's big part of his body.

And I have to turn it to myself to look at the next worm's eye view.

And I'm going to do it a harder piece.

When I first start out, press harder and then lighter and lighter.

Now, for his head, which is a smallest circle of all, I start out and press hard, and then lighter and lighter.

Now, there is my snowman and he's all ready to be decorated.

So I'm going to put this back into my bag because remember what I told you?

When you use your art materials, you must be careful and take good care of things so no one says to you, art is not done in our house 'cause it's too messy.

Can you see what I'm making now?

I'm putting his hat on.

My next one, I won't make a red hat.

I'm making a red hat for this guy 'cause he's my first one.

I think I'm gonna give him a red scarf as well with little fringe on the end.

Go back to his neck and color it in.

You can see it kind of makes it pink when I mix white with the red but not very much because I'm being a little careful well not to get too much pastel mixing.

Now, I want to put his carrot nose.

So you know what color I'm getting out, the orange, and I'm making that a triangle.

If you've forgotten how to do a triangle in an easier way, you put a dot here, a dot here, and one out there and you say dot to dot and curve the end, like a little carrot.

I am going to put some black eyes on him.

So I'm going to put that coal there and coal there and little pieces of coal along here.

Now in order to make my scarf have some interest, I think I'll put some yellow stripes on it.

Doesn't show up very much, but that's okay 'cause you can kind of see it.

And if I want to add a couple of buttons, I think I'll make my buttons black because it's gonna be pretending to have coal too.

And I'm making these buttons kind of jumbly.

I just need a little brown to make his arms.

And I think I have to use my big one 'cause my little brown is missing.

I'm going to make his arm with his twig hands and his arm, I'll make this one go down with his twig hands.

That's my first one.

I can go onto my next one.

I'll just keep working on them until it looks like our time is ending and I can keep adding to them and remember the size and shape.

So I'm gonna put this one down here so I remember how big I made it and where I started.

Now, remember what we do.

I need my pastel to make my circle big down here, all press hard on the first one.

A little lighter and a little lighter and a little lighter.

Then I do my middle part of the body, hard on the top.

And I do a little lighter and a little lighter.

And his head, hard on the top and light here.

Then I will get out a different color for his scarf.

This time I'm going to make it green.

Same thing.

Go around the neck, make some fringe on the edge.

I think what I'll do this time so I can see my stripes a little better, I'll put the stripes first and then color in between the stripes.

See, I tried this at home and I didn't even think about trying out the stripes and making sure it shows.

Go on his head, go around, go out to the side.

I'm gonna put a snowball on the end of it.

A little different from this hat.

I'm going to use my black to put his coal eyes on, making it look kind of like the other one.

Use my orange to make his carrot nose off to the side like a triangle.

I'll put those dots around for his mouth.

I might even make him smile a little bigger and make his coal buttons.

What am I missing?

Can you tell?

I have to get into my big box of crayons because I don't have the arm brown up in this other part.

I can put his thumb in and make this arm go down.

One, two, three.

What do I need to do?

I think this one's finished.

I'll put him next to that one.

I'll continue with my third one.

I might be able to finish three of them.

Oh, maybe I'll use the lavender one.

I'll do that one next.

One, two.

Woo, my fingers are a little messy.

I'm getting black marks on my picture.

I just have to rub them into my hands.

Do you know what to do?

Get your pastel and go down curve, hard, then lighter pressure, lighter pressure, lighter pressure.

The middle.

Oh, that one's harder.

It's hard to see on the lavender, but I think once I put on his clothes, I think you'll be able to see a little better.

There.

And I'm going to use a magenta for his scarf.

I think that would be good on this one.

Put on the fringe, slide it down.

Remember what I had success with before, boys and girls?

By putting in the color in between, in between, in between, in between.

And then I color in between those places so that it looks like the scarf is two different colors and makes him have some colorful clothing.

I'll put his hat on.

Remember, we follow the shape of his head.

Maybe he'll get a stocking cap like the other fellow, make a little fringy ball on top.

I need to have some black to make his eyes.

Remember, the eyes are black.

The coal mouth is black and the buttons are black.

Look how I don't have to pick up and put down 'cause I remember which ones I need.

Now, I just need his carrot nose.

If you notice I keep my pastels in a bag when they're broken.

They get kind of, oh, they're soft, and they break.

They get kind of little nicks of other color on it.

And if that happens, you just use a paper towel and rub the edges if you don't like the look of that.

I might make this a little outlined with blue 'cause you can barely see where his body is.

And it'll look kind of shadowy.

And you can see it a little better.

There.

Now I have one, two, three.

I just need one more.

I could get it started on this gray paper.

I hope you're having fun with this.

I know you can't keep up with me because I'm moving along like I'm a machine.

I'm moving so quickly.

Don't worry 'cause you have other time you can work on this.

Remember what I do?

That's right.

Press and make a half.

Ooh, that one broke.

Have to put it away 'cause I want it to be the same length.

Come on out.

It was getting a little skinny from me rubbing it against there.

Press and then a little easier, little lighter.

Broke it again.

I know some people get nervous when their pastels break but that's what pastels do.

Don't ever worry.

And if any grown-ups tell you, hey, you're not being careful with those pastels.

Tell them, Mrs. Readwright sometimes breaks hers too.

She's not trying to, just happens like that.

All right, boys and girls, I can tell that I'm not gonna be able to finish this one, but I will and bring it back to show you.

And you'll see how we put four of them together 'cause I wanted to be sure to tell you what I want you to bring tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I want you to bring some paper for printmaking.

I'm bringing some dishes with paper towels in them so I can use that new pencil.

Remember with Yayoi with the snowman, we put the pencil eraser in and printed, touch and print, touch and print.

So bring those materials for us tomorrow 'cause we're gonna sing goodbye.
