MIXED MEDIA SCRATCH ART - Frogs

 

   When I presented this artwork to my students, I was not expecting the results I received. Even though we didn't get them finished, they are fantastic!!!!!
   I have included ALL the Resources I created so this post is BIG....the images are in jpeg format....

 
INSTRUCTIONS:


NOTE: If I were doing this artwork with high school students, they would be making a drawing of a frog (or any animal) onto A4 photocopy paper, then copying it onto the scratch art paper using the method provided in the Instructions.
 

 
           
 
 
These images are from a free-to-use site and are
 formatted to A4 size.

STUDENT ARTWORKS........
In reality, the black marker lines are not as bold and bright. They can be seen but blend into the surrounding black areas
 of the artwork.







This students is a naturally gifted young artist. He loves art and thrives on exploring new media. He is able to make artistic decisions that are founded on intuitive expression. Well done, Riley!!!!!


I really like this artwork. The student decided to incorporate two different types of texture on his frog. I think it worked well. It was so rewarding to see this particular student advance to making his own artistic decisions. In the past, he has been hesitant and really lacked confidence in his art making abilities. Well done, Jack!!!!!

So proud of the artworks created by Year 5/6 T.
Windsor South Public School ROCKS!!!

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.
