CUBISM using Ipad App - ChipPhoto

Here are some digital artworks I created when I was stuck on my "technology trip"...... ChipPhoto





    After I made the Cubist Portrait, I imported it into another app called PERCOLATOR . It created circles inside the squares which I think added another dimension to the idea of "Cubism".

ASCII Art - traditional and non-traditional art making techniques

Image
   Showing my age here but I remember making ASCII artworks back in the 1980's and thinking how cool they were. They look very basic now compared to digital images I have seen. I think students will like making a drawing and then converting it into letters, numbers and symbols. Its a simple artmaking activity that introduces kids to digital artmaking techniques. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. First thing to do is to have students make a drawing using lines. I find that drawing with lines works best when converting the image into ASCII art later on. 2. Students need to select ONE of the following Resource Images and base their drawing on that. 3. Students will create their drawing using graph paper. The structured patterning of lines, large and small squares adds to the "technology" appearance of the finished drawing. ART APPRECIATION:

CLAY WORK - Pinch Pot Monster - Years 3 and 4

Image
   Later on this week, I will be doing an all-day art lesson with a Year 4 class. I have taught this class many times, they are a great bunch of little people and we have a great rapport.    It is because of this that I decided to do clay work with them, teaching them the basic construction techniques - pinch pots, slabs and coils.    I saw on Pinterest, the work of Dean DeRosso (hope I spelt that right) and immediately though of my Year 4 kids. They will love making their own little clay monsters.    I have made up some teaching resources with information to help the students better understand how to make a pinch pot and included an example of a monster created by Dean DeRosso.    In case we finish up early, I have also made a simple art appreciation/evaluation worksheet and a drawing worksheet. Feel free to use them if they suit your needs.     Pics of student's work to come ...............

CLAY WORK INSTRUCTIONS - How to Make a Relief Sculpture Plate in Air Dry Clay

Image
TEACHING RESOURCES: I found most of the resources on Pinterest and organised them to suit my needs and those of the students.     We talked about the different types of sculpture and how 3D artworks are different to 2D artworks.   I then spoke to them about the limitations of handling air dry clay - over handling it will cause the clay to dry out quite quickly. Students are always so tempted to play with pieces of clay!!!   We looked at the different types of construction methods and I explained how they would be using slabs, coils and pinch pots to make their relief sculpture. By this stage, the students were so excited so we started straight away. No point in dragging it out...     INSTRUCTIONS: 1. We covered our mould (plastic plate) with Cling Wrap to stop the clay from sticking to it. 2. Make sure each student has newspaper to work on. If not, the clay will stick to the desk. I also put plastic table cloths on all the table...
