SELF PORTRAIT using an ACETATE OVERLAY - ES1 History: Personal and Family History

   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. Making a self portrait, collaging the background but then writing things about themselves onto the area around the portrait.

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....

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

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.
