The Art Lady

Its been quite a while since I last presented this artwork to students. I first posted it way back on  8th July, 2017. I presented to my students at Samuel Terry Public School on Thursday, 26.2.20 and we had a great time. Students had never seen the effect isopropyl alcohol had a Sharpies and they were fascinated by the textures created. They also enjoyed recreating their flowers and leave using a "wobbly" line and then further outlining them with Posca pens, paint makers and black markers. I was impressed with their creativity and enthusiasm. Well done to the students of Year 4K......

   This artworks has fast become very popular, and the  following artworks have been created by the talented students of Year 4K at Samuel Terry Public School, Cranebrook, NSW, Australia. I think they really enjoyed what they learned about orangutans, where they lived, what they ate and how similar we are to them. HOW TO INSTRUCTIONS along with Resources Images were posted on 12th December, 2019. Please feel free to download and use them with your own students. This is a new school for me and I am very impressed with the staff, students and parents I have met in only two days of casual work.  Well done to the students of Year 4K...….

   I remember using acetate overlays when I was doing my Uni courses, so the technique has been around for a very long time (which sounds like I am old).    Students will love doing this artwork as it starts off with them doing a drawing on acetate, using their friend's face. Nothing like drawing on your friend's face with a black permanent marker to get the motivation levels up.     I think this artwork would work really well with Kindergarten kids when they study History: Personal and Family History.
