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.

Grass Animals

Preps learned about animals that creep, crawl, slither and hop in the grass.

Day 1: We created our animals using texta and watercolour. I encouraged students to fill in their animals to create interesting visual texture.Then we filled in our background using soft pastels or watercolour.

Day 2: We cut paper to create grass into "long triangles" and scrunched tissue paper to create flowers. We used regular glue sticks to paste on the grass and flowers.

There were lots of sticky fingers after this lesson.

Cat and very careful cutting and pasting!

The cutest dog I have ever seen!

Snail!

Overall, a very successful lesson. Love it!
