DIRECTED DRAWING - Lion

I will use this resource with my Kindy kids to teach them how to draw a lion's head. We will then complete it using wax and white oil pastels with diluted black ink to create resisted ink wash. 

I have posted a previous artwork using the same media with a lion and lioness but I think using the directed drawing approach will be better for younger students.

Being a "directed" drawing will  enable kids of varying degrees of learning disabilities to participate in the artmaking experience without feeling overwhelmed by the challenge.

I am sorry that I have no student examples to show as I had to suddenly stop working due to ill health so I never saw the completed artworks although they were almost finished and they were looking great.

    This is such a great approach for helping kids build confidence through art! If you're ever looking to expand on line-focused projects, check out turn photo into line drawing — it's a free tool that could add a fun digital twist to your lessons!

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....

ELEMENTS of ART - Worksheet Booklet for Kindy, Year 1 and Year 2 students

Image
    I have accepted a temporary position in a primary school teaching visual arts two days this year, so I decided to put together some little worksheet/booklets for my students.    Some of the worksheets are information only, while others are interactive where students can show their understanding by completing simple little tasks that relate to that particular element.    Until the Term gets into swing (which I'm sure will not take long), these little booklets will fill in nicely. Feel free to use them They are in jpeg format. I included some literacy and some expressive writing opportunities. Some of the pages were created by me, others are combinations of images from free-to-use worksheets, free-to-use images and free clip art found on Pinterest.

Art and Maths - How To Draw a Robot

Image
I have taught this artwork to many primary school kids and it has always been a raging success. I have never taken any pics of student work and the very next time I teach "Robots", I will definitely take some pics for you to see. Kids love robots and they are fascinated by Da Vinci robot and his inventions.  The information about 2D and 3D shapes came from Pinterest.   The robot images above and below came from sites that have free-to-use colouring pages   It was this image above and the one below that I saw on Pinterest. They inspired the idea of combining Maths with Art to create a robot artwork. I never knew Da Vinci created a robot!!!!! Full credit goes to the artists who created the watercolour artworks, as I did not. I talk to students about how sunlight shines on objects to create highlights and shadows. They love the little robot...... The robot decoration on the info sheets came from fr...
