Students will create a simplified version of a yarn bomb. With the use of wrapping and repetition, the students will transform an ordinary stick into a colorful and personal expression of art.
Aesthetic Goal
This lesson will introduce students to wrapping and knot tying which concentrate on the students ability to manipulate string and 3-D objects. This lesson will also introduce students to transforming everyday objects
into art.

Wrapped Trees & Wrapped Coast, Christo & Jean Claude, 1998 & 1969 Polyester Fabric and Trees/Costal Boulders Rationale What makes this an important work to study? Agata Olek Oleksiak is a rising star in the art world, more specifically the art world around NYC. Her work is a great example of 21st Century Postmodernist work. She combines Dadaist notions of appropriating objects with a skin of the Arts and Crafts movement. It is this combination of two past art movements that make her work so engaging and attractive to the postmodern sensibility. What makes it appropriate for my grade level? rd The 3 graders will discuss the ideas of wrapping, repetition and simple patterns. The act of wrapping the stick for the project will push the students fine motor skills but should be an activity that they can accomplish. Although the activity will be a stretch the students will enjoy the great tactile quality of both the stick and the yarn. This is also a fun activity for students to transform an ordinary object into art.

Day 1:
Students will learn new vocabulary words through applying them to a powerpoint presentation of Oleks work. They will start to create their own yarn wrapped stick. We will wrap up the day with a discussion about how our activity relates to Oleks work. We will also discuss how the yarn changes the sticks.

Day 2: We will review what we did last week with a Powerpoint presentation about Oleks work and Yarn Bombs The students will finish their wrapped sticks from last week. To finish, we will look at the repetitions that were created by wrapping and if these sticks have been transformed. Day 3: Students will compare Oleks work to Christo and Jean Claudes work in terms of our vocabulary words Each student will receive fabric and string to wrap up a random object in. To finish, we will look at our finished works and compare them with our sticks to see how each was transformed. Also we will compare them to see which was more successful/liked more.

Visual organization Principles and/or other compositional terms Meaning-making: Feels like, seems like, represents, suggests, implies, symbolic of, etc.
Repetition Each work created by Olek is full of repetitive qualities. Due to the nature of crochet, each stitch, one after the other, is the same. To create each panel of crocheted fabric, Olek must repeat stitch after stitch. Wrapping sticks with yarn can transform them from ordinary to a work of art.

Introduction: Hi everyone! Today we are going to making Yarn Sculptures! We will be using yarn and sticks to make our sculptures. To get inspiration for our sculptures we will be looking at the work of an artist that goes by the name of Olek. Before we get down to business, we are going to have an imagination brainstorm! Motivation: Have students close their eyes. Now, I want everyone to think about where you live. Think about your house or apartment. What if your house or apartment building was painted bright red with yellow polka dots? What if the walls were soft and fuzzy like your favorite sweater? Now open your eyes. Did changing the color of your house or apartment building change how you feel about that place? What if walls were really fuzzy? How would that change things? Main Concepts and Powerpoint Presentation: So our artists full name in Agata Oleksiak but she goes by Olek for short. Click for first slide. What is this object? What has Olek done to it? How is it changed or different what you expect? Is it funny or more interesting? Why? Click for second slide Olek has transformed this everyday ladder from Hard-edged to? Dull to? Ordinary to? Click for third slide Tell me where you seeBright ColorsTextureRepetition Pattern Click on fourth slide Lets look at some more of Oleks work Click on fifth slide What do you see? Is there any repetition? Where? Is there any pattern? Where? Are there any bright colors? Where? Click on sixth slide What is different? How does the feeling change from the one on the left to the one on the right? Transition and Intro to new jobs Ok, so now before we get down to work we have to go over our new Jobs plan. Everyone should have a number 1-4 on your desk. Each number corresponds to a job on this chart. Number 1s raise your hand. Now you will be responsible for picking up your groups bucket of supplies. Ask one of the 1s what their job is. Number 2s raise your hand. You will make sure that each person in your group gets their baggy of supplies. And during clean up you will make sure that everyones baggy gets back in the bucket. Ask one of the 2s what their job is. Number 3s raise your hand. You will make sure that everyone in your group gets a stick. And during clean up you will make sure that everyones stick gets back in the bucket. Ask one of the 3s what their job is. 7

one left off. You should make 15 wraps around your stick and tie it off. Ill be walking around if you need help please raise your hand and Ill be around. If there is time remaining: Now, everyone has a choice! You can either go back and use the first color that you used or you can use the third color. Now lets tie this next one on right where your last one left off. You should make 10 wraps around your stick and tie it off. 3 Minute warning 1 minute warning Clean up: Ok, its clean up time! Signal. Put all materials down. Make sure to label your stick! Now at the count of three you will have 3 minutes to clean up your group and get your materials up front. Lets see which group can clean up the fastest Closure: So how does what we did today compare to the work of Olek? Was it similar? Did we use repetition? Can we see our sticks transforming yet?

Introduction: Hi everyone! Today we are going to finish our Yarn Sculptures! We will be reviewing what we did last class and look at some more art that is very similar to Oleks art. Before we do that though, do you remember when we imagined that our houses and apartment buildings were painted bright colors with polka dots? Well we are going to look at some houses that look just like that! Motivation: Click through Intro Slide and onto Slide 2 So, what do we see? How is it painted? If the paint was just white do you think it would be just as interesting? Why? Click for Slide 3 How is this house painted? Is there any repetition? How would you feel if your house was painted like this? Does the paint transform the house? Main Concepts and Powerpoint Presentation: Now we are going to review our artist from last week. Does anyone remember her name/nickname? Click for next slide. What is this object? What has Olek done to it? How is it changed or different then what you expect? Are there any repetitions? She has transformed the bike from an ordinary bike to something special. She has changed it from hard to? Shiny to? Click for next slide When Olek transformed the bike she changed the outside of the bike. How is this normal bike different from Oleks? What do you look at or focus on with the ordinary bike? What we focus on or look at first is the emphasis. It is what is most important. What is the emphasis on Oleks bike? 11

Any questions? Demo knot again but this time on the stick. Any questions? Ask someone to come up and demo this knot. Ask for another volunteer. Ok, lets go back to our seats and start from where we left off. Independent Training: Does everyone have their materials? Good, now lets start. Everyone should one of their colored yarns from their baggies. Now lets tie this one on right next to your last wrapping. You should make 10 wraps around your stick and tie it off. Ill be walking around if you need help please raise your hand and Ill be around. Now, everyone should pick another color from their baggies. Now lets tie this next one on right where your last one left off. For this one you can make anywhere from 10 to 20 wraps. You can choose! Ill be walking around if you need help please raise your hand and Ill be around. Continue this way until everyone has finished their sticks. For students who finish their first stick: If you have finished your first stick please raise your hand and Ill be around to give you a new stick. With this one you will do the same thing but the number of wrappings and how many colors you use will be up to you. 3 Minute warning 1 minute warning Clean up: Ok, its clean up time! Signal. Put all materials down. Lets put all of our materials except for our sticks into our baggies. Number 2s collect the baggies and put them in your groups bucket. Number 3s please make sure everyones stick is in the bucket. Number 4s please return the buckets up to the front of the classroom Closure: Do our sticks look differently now that they are wrapped? How so? Do you feel differently about them now? Or are they still just sticks? Hold a bunch of the finished sticks up. Now what if trees really grew this way? Would you still climb them? Would you still play around them? Would you feel differently about trees?

Introduction: Hi everyone! Today we are going to start a new project! It is kind of like what weve been doing with the sticks but with a twist! We will be reviewing what we did last class and look at some more art that is similar to Oleks art. Before we do that though, we are going to use our sense of touch in an experiment. We are going to guess what is in this loosely wrapped fabric by only using our sense of touch. Motivation: Set up three wrapped objects in the front of the classroom. They are all the same object inside. Have the class come up to the front and form three lines. Each student will have a chance to pick up the object and try to figure out what it is by just touching it. Once each student gets a chance to pick up and feel the object they will sit back down. After everyone is back in the seats: So, what do you think is in under the wrapping? After a bunch of guesses, Ill show/tell the students what the object was. This is what well be making today! We will be wrapping objects like this one and making them into art like we did with the sticks! Main Concepts and Powerpoint Presentation: Now we are going to review our artist from last week. Does anyone remember her name/nickname? Click for next slide. Does anybody remember this bike from last week? Can someone tell me how Olek transformed this bike? Good! How else can tell us something? Good! Click for next slide Now we are going to look at some art work from the artists Christo and Jean-Claude. They are an artist couple. Their work is similar to Oleks work. They transform objects too! Click for next slide What is this object? What has Christo and Jean-Claude done to it? How is it changed or different what you expect? Is it funny or more interesting? Why? Click for next slide Christo and Jean-Claude have transformed this tree from Empty to? Hard to? Ordinary to? Click for next slide By transforming the tree Christo and Jean-Claude have changed the emphasis of the tree or what we see firstWhat do you see first?... Has the shape or form changed?... How has the texture changed? Click for next slide Lets look at some more of Christo and Jean-Claude work Click for next slide These are some more trees that they wrapped. Click for next slide This is a coast line or beach that they wrapped. Click for next slide This is a building that they wrapped. Its called the Reichtag. 16

Now place your piece of wood close to the middle of the fabric
and start wrapping. Ill be walking around if you need help please raise your hand and Ill be around. Once you are done wrapping your piece of wood. Take out your yarn and cut yourself an arm span length. Now start wrapping that around the fabric. Make sure when you do this that the yarn will hold the fabric to the wood. Ill be walking around if you need help please raise your hand and Ill be around. For students who finish their first piece: If you have finished your first piece please raise your hand and Ill be around to give you a new one. 3 Minute warning 1 minute warning Clean up: Ok, its clean up time! Signal. Put all materials down. Lets put all of our materials except for our pieces into our baggies. Number 2s collect the baggies and put them in your groups bucket. Closure: Ok, now we are going to group up quickly and talk about each others work. Group students in pairs of two and three. I want each student to tell their neighbors either something they like about their neighbors work or something that you think they did well. Now lets hear some of the things you said. Call on a few students. Now how was what we did today like the sticks we made last week? Clean up: Number 3s please make sure everyones piece is in the bucket. Number 4s please return the buckets up to the front of the classroom
