Viewfinder Artwork





 
1. I printed off a heap of closeup photographs that the students could use as inspiration / resource image.
2. They drew the image onto an A4 canvas with lead pencil.
3. Painted the artwork with acrylic paint. we blended colours using the wet-on-wet technique and with our fingers.
4. Black marker was applied as an outline.
5. Some Posca pen details and extra colour.
Pretty simple little artwork but I got some nice results.

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....

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
