ROBOT MASK

This artwork is great fun.....I created robot masks with my Year 8 students. I did not write the program, a colleague had that honour. Its a fantastic program. I will show you only my sample mask.....
I made my own papier mache from a Youtube video. The stuff was easy to make, easy to use and dried to the consistency of concrete.
 
 
Students had to create a design of their mask before they could start. The design had to include materials that they would add to the mask as decoration. For example, plastic hose, LED lights, etc. I did get some masks with LED lights!!!
 
The following images show my mask......
The base of the mask is a papier mache mould that we got for all of our students. Art supply store.

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.

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.
