The Dot

Art inspired by the book "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds

Day 1: After we read the story, students used watercolour paints to create dots. They started with one dot in the middle and used different colours to make their dot "grow".

Day 2: We printed with acrylic paint using found objects-bottle caps, corks, toilet paper rolls etc. The kids "signed" their work using a special gold marker.

Amazing!

Printing

The magic word in the Art Room was printing.

This was Preps first time printing and they did extremely well.

Day 1: Students used leaves, acrylic paint and rollers to create their prints (Oh sooo messy).

Day 2: Students chose either warm or cool coloured soft pastels to fill in their negative space/background (3 pieces each). Students learned to blend their soft pastels together using their index and middle fingers.

Love it!!!

Year 4 takes on 1 point perspective

All in all, a successful lesson. We discussed the vanishing point, implied lines, parallel lines and shading. Adding parallel lines were a bit tricky for some, but in the end we got there.

Students experimented with grey lead, pencil crayons and texta.

Keep up the great work!

Year 3 Close Ups

Georgia O'Keefe inspired art!

I can see why this lesson has been done many times, it is a real gem that produces very effective art pieces. 

During this term, year 3s have been learning about creating depth and distance in landscape style arts works. This lesson, we learned that images that are closer have more detail/colour then images that are further away. We used glue and soft pastel. Students chose an image that were found in nature. Students experimented with colour combinations on a scrap paper. A tip was to blend 3 or more colours together. Students also chose background colours that would compliment their close up image.
