Welcome to Art class at B. Bernice Young School!
I'm so excited to begin the 2020-2021 school year with you!
Please reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns, or if you need clarification or assistance with any art project. During remote learning you are always welcome to substitute art materials for any given project with supplies you have available to you at home. You do not need to submit, turn in, or email any artwork at this time. I will assess your work during our Wednesday Google Meet.
Mr. Giannetto's email is vgiannetto@burltwpsch.org
Monday and Tuesday: I will see the Monday/Tuesday cohort at Young School for in-person learning. We will work on robot art activities in class. All remote learners and the Thursday/Friday cohort will view and complete art assignments that Mr. G posts in our Google Art Classroom. Art activities include recorded videos of Mr. G reading robot books and demonstrating step-by-step robot drawings for you to complete independently. In our Google Art Classroom I also include a link for you to travel here to my art website and follow the paper robot art lesson below. In addition, scroll down and view Additional Art Activities for Remote Learners as well as a fun tinfoil cardboard robot art lesson. You have all week to complete all robot projects.
Wednesday: All student Google Meet for virtual Art class. This is the only Google Meet for art class this week! If you started the paper robot project below independently on Monday and Tuesday at home bring it to the Google Meet and I will assess your progress and demonstrate adding details to the robot. If you did not begin the project, I will demonstrate how to get started and you can continue working independently as the week progresses.
Thursday and Friday: I will see the Thursday/Friday cohort at Young School for in-person learning. We will work on robot art activities in class. All remote learners and the Monday/Tuesday cohort will view and complete art assignments that Mr. G posts in our Google Art Classroom.

2nd Grade Pop-Up Robots
Remember we will work on this project together on Wednesday during our Google Meet. You are also welcome to work independently on Monday/Tuesday or on Thursday/Friday while you are learning from home. You have all week to complete your paper robot.
Materials: paper, glue, scissors, markers
Function: What does your robot do? How does it help you?
Name:What do you call your robot?
Price: How much does the robot cost?
What type of robot do you want to make?
A Chef Bot can help with cooking and baking.
A Homework Bot can do your homework for you.
A Coach Bot can help you with sports.
An Art Bot can help you draw and paint.
A Friend Bot can keep you company and play with you all day.
Step 1: Cut out a variety of shapes to make your robot. Squares, rectangles, and circles work very well.
Step 2: Decide how each shape will be used to build your robot. Begin to identify the head, body, legs/wheels, and arms. Manipulate some of the shapes by folding the edges. This will help the shapes pop up when we glue them to the paper. Fold some of the shapes into accordion folds. Create rings by gluing the ends of a thin rectangle together.
Step 3: Glue the robot parts to a new piece of paper. Pop-up some of the robot parts by only gluing down the folded areas.
Step 4: Add details with markers such as a face, nuts and bolts, buttons, dials, and computer screens.
Step 5: Identify the function of the robot. Add additional details in order for the robot to have the supplies it needs to help you. For example, a Chef Bot may need pots and pans. An Art Bot may need pencils, scissors, and a paintbrush. A Sports Bot may carry balls, bats, or other sports equipment. Identify a price for your robot. How much does it cost?
Additional Art Activities for Remote Learners:
1. Draw a robot using the idea sheets below. Combine the head, body, arms, and movement. Add your own ideas as well.
2. Read the book Unplugged by Steve Antony and draw the character Blip. Mr. G recorded a video reading the book and a step-by-step tutorial of how to draw the robot Blip. The video link can be found in your art assignment on google classroom. Have fun drawing!
3. Read the book Boy + Bot and complete the directed drawing. Color your drawing as well. The recorded video of Mr. G reading the book and drawing Bot can be found in my Google Classroom.
Robots can help us with everyday tasks. What would you like your robot to do? What is its function? Maybe you would like a chef, maid, or teacher robot? A robot that can cook, clean, and do your homework may be very popular!
A robot function (How does it help you?/What does it do?)
A robot price (How much does it cost?)
Art Materials: cardboard, cereal box, scissors, tinfoil, glue, paper, sharpie
Step 1: Cut a variety of shapes out of cardboard and/or cereal boxes. Rectangles, squares, and circles would be great! Parents may need to assist with cutting out some of the thicker cardboard pieces.
Step 2: Begin to wrap the pieces of cardboard in tinfoil.
Step 3: Move the pieces around and decide what works best to create the robots head, body, arms, wheels or legs.
Step 4: Use a sharpie to add details to your robot including a face, computer screen, nuts and bolts, and other details. As you're adding details make sure the design meets the function of your robot. For example, if the robot is a teacher you can add books or a pencil. If your robot makes dinner be sure to add food and utensils.
Step 5: Glue the pieces to a piece of paper and write down the name, function, and price of your robot.
