Phobias - Painting Elective Visual Arts



 This is from an old program that I created way back in 2013.......
Painting based on a phobia.
A visual interpretation of a phobia experienced by the student.
Students will create and complete a large canvas painting incorporating structured composition techniques.
Composition Techniques: Information regarding the Rule of thirds and the creation of focal points, mood, movement, the use of leading lines etc. 1 lesson
Effective Use of Colour: Students will investigate the use of colour to create mood and emotion. Opposing colour schemes, warm colours, cool colours, monochromatic schemes. 2 lessons with practical VAPD (Visual Arts Process Diary) investigation with paint.
Painting Techniques: Students will investigate a variety of ways to apply paint to a surface – fingers, dry brushing, expressive application techniques. 3 lessons including the use of modelling compound with paint in VAPD.
VAPD Planning:
Students are to create 3 designs for a painting using composition techniques. Their best design is discussed with the teacher prior to drawing it onto their canvas. Appropriate and inappropriate subject matter. 3 lessons with teacher guidance.
INDIVIDUAL STUDENT WORK: Once the final design is established students will work on their own, making their own artistic decisions.
Examples of student artworks.......

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.

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
