The Art Lady

  Well done to the students of Windsor Public, NSW, Australia. Year 3. Great job guys!!!

  A new artwork to start off the return to school for staff and students after lockdown. Stay safe everyone...... I want to acknowledge that, apart from the painting I created myself, I am not in any way attempting to claim the the work of others  as  my own. This lesson has an emphasis of teaching students about tones, tints and shades in painting and how an artwork can be created using only one.  I found an excellent teaching resource on Pinterest that explains how a tone, tint and shade are created. This information is printed on the back of the  Resource Octopus Images that students will use. These images came from Pinterest.  They are not my creations. INSTRUCTIONS:    The decision to add black outlines and then an opposing colour outlines are all optional. The degree of completion of the artwork is really at the discretion of the teacher. With younger students I usually include black outlines to define their artwork, its something I hav...

I posted this artworks on 10th December, 2019 and all Instructions can be found in that post. Its been a while since I presented to students. I did this again with a Year 3/4 class and they really enjoyed it, especially learning how to use different media and material. Well done to the students in Year 3/4 at Windsor Park Public, NSW, Australia.  

  I posted this artwork on June 1st, 2021 and it has had an instant reaction from everyone. Thank you for all of your encouraging words, I appreciate it. Anyway, I presented this artwork to a Year 5/6 class and they were engaged from start to finish. They did a fantastic job with following the tutorials and in making their dragons their own. Here are their artworks. I hope you like them. I love them all. There was one slight variation to the Instructions. I had students add a randomly drawn outline to further define their image after they applied some lead pencil shading. This first artwork was not created by me. It is the work of a incredibly talented young lady who I think has no comprehension of her wonderful her drawing and artistic skills. She did all of it without any of help from me. I just let her go. Its a beautiful artwork. Well done to all the students in Year 5/6 Murray at Windsor Park Public, NSW, Australia.....
