Futuristic World - Architecture / Gaudi


 
    This is from an old program but it could be modified and updated to suit your needs. SUSTAINABILITY - Curriculum Priority.  This was an artwork that was well received by the boys in the class as they could explore "the gloom and doom".
    Students had to create their version of a "utopian' or "dystopian" world. We learnt and talked about different types of utopia and dystopia. I created a Notebook presentation with information and examples ( I cant put it on this blog, wrong format)



 
     We also looked at different types of perspective........
a)  One-point Perspective
b)  Two-point Perspective
c)  Foreshortening
d)  Aerial View Perspective

e)  Bird’s Eye View Perspective

f)   Worm’s Eye Perspective.

 
 

 
 
ARTWORK PROCEDURE:
1. create a  design for your futuristic city in your artbook inside a 20 x 30cm rectangle. Remember, this is a design so it needs to show what your city will look like, but it should not take hours to complete – it is a design not the artwork. Time required: 2 lessons
2. When you have completed your design, transfer it onto the A3 paper. Use a ruler and 2B  lead pencil. Complete this stage of the artwork with care. Time Required: 1 - 2 lessons.
3. You should practise the techniques you will need to use to complete this task – how to create a vanishing effect with the inks, various tones that can be created with only one colour, etc. The one colour you work with needs to be given considered thought. Time Required: 1 – 2 lessons.
4. The remainder of the class time will involve you working independently to complete the artwork. Time Required: approximately 10 lessons
(At this stage I was attempting to have the students create time management strategies)

    TEACHING RESOURCE - CLAY WORK BOOKLET - BASIC INFORMATION

    Image
       I put together a booklet for the staff of the primary school I work in. They were wanting to learn about clay and some ideas of what they could do with their students.    Following are pages from the booklet in jpeg format. Feel free to use it or any part of it. I collected information and ideas from Pinterest and there is no intention of claiming any of the ideas or sculpture works as my own. Full credit goes to those talented and creative people who created them, including Kimmy Cantrell .  I have included my own clay work relief sculpture plate at the end......               I will be adding more ideas to this booklet as I come across them....

    Blind Contour Drawing - Portraiture

    Image
       Before you start this artwork, I would suggest you talk to students about the difference between various drawing techniques. I got the idea from Pinterest but modified it to suit my needs.    There are two artworks that can be done. One uses coloured highlighters with black markers, the other uses watercolour paper, watercolour pencils, black markers, metallic markers and oil crayons. Resource Images: I made up a simple laminated worksheet that has four pics of people that the students can use to make their blind contour drawings with.   ARTWORK 1: 1. Using the Resource Images and a lead pencil,  students are to make 3 or 4 blind contour drawings on  A3 drawing paper. 2. Students then trace over ALL LINES with a black marker. They are not to erase any lines. 3. With coloured highlighters, colour in sections within in the artwork. 4. Add in patterns with the highlighters.    Detail of the artwork.....    ARTWORK 2: 1 . Students are issued wi

    STUDENT ARTWORKS - NEW CUBISM with Kindergarten/Year 1 Composite Class

    Image
    I first posted this artwork back on 21st October, 2008 so it was time to drag it back out again. It is such an easy artwork to do with any age students as Cubism allows students to create images that don't rely on any true elements of realism and proportion. If their artwork looks weird that's great. This is the latest collection of artworks from a Ms Parkinson's Kindy/Year 1 composite class at Windsor Public School (NSW, Australia). We had a great time creating these images and the students enjoyed using watercolour pencils and posca pens.  The white posca pen outlining was done by myself and some Year 6 helpers. I did add teeth and highlights in the eyes if the student asked me.
