Children used pre-cutting shapes to assemble a house shape with white or coloured squares for windows and the number of people in their family. They draw a face of each family member on the squares. Shutters (patterned newspaper) are added over the window squares and cut then they open in the centre.
A background for the newspaper house is made by using white pastel for clouds in the sky (blue dye wash or liquid watercolour over) green sponge for textured grass. Students glue their house to the background, calculation trees, flowers, fence.
Paper purse houses!
Not my original idea- I've seen this on lots of other blogs- only my accept on it.
The newspaper handbag house is a similar process, except the students are gluing onto stiff paper handbag (that will stand up upwardly on it'south ain) They add together a garden or one thousand by sitting it on green newspaper, adding stand up upward trees, flowers etc. The roof is a folded slice of coloured bill of fare, stapled on.
Lesson plan aligned to the Victorian Curriculum with learning intention, success criteria, lesson activities and a reflection sheet for the students. Lesson includes the mixed media collage and the newspaper bag houses (similar steps)
Heather Galler, born in 1970 is an American folk artist who make colourful patterned artworks of landscapes, animals and nature. She is well know for her pet portraits, where she uses a photo of a cat or dog, to produce a painted portrait in her folk art way.
After looking at and responding to the colourfully patterned dogs past American folk creative person Heather Galler, Year one & 2 students explored lines and patterns to utilize on their ain dog outline. The patterns were fatigued in oil pastel and and so a contrasting colour was painted over each section in dye launder (or liquid watercolour).
Digital Dog using Brushes App
As an alternative extension activeness during remote learning, I posted a video sit-in to employ Brushes Redux App (for beginners- no layers) to make a digital version of a Heather Galler domestic dog (I call back some of the parents enjoyed having a go too!)
Preview of a digital dog -Heather Galler manner made using Brushes Redux App without the layers.
Preview of digital artwork using Brushes Redux App- with layers choice to trace a dog outline, colour in, add patterns and finally a patterned groundwork in a contrast colour.
Using the layers on Brushes Redux App (or like) is easy in one case you know how to do it! It takes a footling practice, and for younger kids, some guidance for each stride. I take introduced using layers from Year 3 for other digital projects with success.
Lesson programme includes learning intentions & success criteria, examples of artist and pupil artworks, student self cess rubric, instruction and links to demonstration videos to make a digital dog using Brushes App (or like).
A neat lesson to do in a unit on pets. We used Andy Warhol'due south '25 Cats' every bit inspiration for these drawings of cats in all sorts of positions. Before Warhol was well known, he published a book with lots of illustrations of cats. Warhol was living with his Mum in New York and at one time he had 25 cats cohabiting in the apartment!!
LESSON ACTIVITIES:
View video nigh Andy Warhol's "25 cats" and look at his pictures.
What do you lot encounter? What else do you notice about the pictures? What exercise y'all think he used to draw and color the pictures? (eg. black outline in ink, not all realistic colours.)
Students followed some directed drawing (and some youtube tutorials) of cats in unlike positions. (in greylead pencil) to fit four differnt cats on their paper.
They and so used a fine point waterproof marker (like Sharpie), added short lines to add texture for the true cat's fur, then & different coloured food dye wash colour on each cat.

When looking at Street at with students, in that location are some interesting discussions virtually graffiti and street fine art and the fine line between the two. Of course there is much street art that is done with permission or on committee, only some graffiti (non done with permission) can exist powerful fine art likewise! And then of course at that place is the graffiti that is just considered vandalism because people don't appreciate it as art.
We looked at the different styles and types of graffiti / street fine art including tags (nick name or initials), a throw (still using a nickname or word, but often done with block or chimera letters that are coloured in), a 'piece' (like a throw, but normally with more color), a 'slice': (more time spent on the visual conventions of the design including overlapping letters in a style like wildstyle, chimera or block letters calculation dimension to the lettering to requite information technology more than course, like shadowing, and colour graduation and combination); and stencils which the artist (looked at Banksy's piece of work) has pre-fabricated a cut out to spray over onto the surface. (see Banksy Stencil post)
The students did a Seesaw activity to review terminology so they could match the terms with some some graffiti & street fine art images.
Using only their initials, students drew a tag, and then explored thicker lettering styles, before deciding which one to use for their (principal)'piece'.
A background of a brick wall was printed using foam blocks, and a large "dripping paint hulk" was cutting out to become under the letters. The lettering needed to be slightly overlapped or continued, outlined, have dimension added in the way of shadow lines and colours chosen to contrast the paint hulk.
Lesson programme contains links to Victorian Curriculum, learning intentions and success criteria, rubric for student self cess, links to useful youTube videos for the grade, lesson steps and activities with photo examples, brandish photos of different types of graffiti (taken past me!) with explanation, and link to an online graffiti maker for early finishers.
This projection tied in with our "Picasso Cow Program" where the schoolhouse was involved in learning about the dairy industry and the health benefits of eating dairy products. The "Discover Dairy" website was a wealth of data with loads of short informative videos.
Firstly, I posed some questions to students to see what their prior knowledge of dairy farms was: What is a DAIRY farm? What does a dairy farmer do? What exercise dairy farmers practise also milk cows?
We watched some videos from Discover Dairy to requite students an insight into life on a dairy subcontract and were useful to acquire most what happens on a typical dairy farm to prompt give-and-take.
'George the Farmer' is a character created by ii people from farming backgrounds whose vision is 'a world where children connect to the earth, food and subcontract'. Based in regional South Commonwealth of australia, they produce fun picture storybooks about all types of farming and agriculture, with lots of instructor resource besides. https://www.georgethefarmer.com.au We used the picture book: 'George the Farmer- Crimson and the Dairy Dilemma.'
I of the learning opportunities when beginning our farm scene was about SPACE- foreground, center ground and background and the size proportions. Students drew a background of farm paddocks, discussing how when things are further away they look smaller. They drew some farm buildings like a dairy, befouled or windmill merely beneath the horizon line and added a tractor and maybe a cow in the middle ground.
Students used oil pastels to colour in and food dye wash for grass and sky.
Students then made painted paper for George the Farmer'due south shirt and pants, and scraps of painted paper in chocolate-brown, biscuit, xanthous for the chapeau, face hands, boots etc. I had several of each shape for the pieces of George in card cutting from cereal boxes so the children could trace them on the back of the painted paper, choosing the shape shirt they want. I had painted paper already washed for the skin, hat and hair and cutting them into smaller pieces to just fit the card shapes so there was no wastage.
I cut out card shapes of the shirt, pants, face, and hat for children to trace around on the back of the painted newspaper. They used scraps to cut out a belt, boots, pilus and easily.
Students paint a print out of a cow and cutting out to glue on or the cow could have been fatigued onto the middle footing or foreground (larger) instead.
Lesson plan with learning intentions, success criteria, links to useful videos, suggested creative person artworks for discussion, template for shapes to make George the Farmer.
This was a favourite projection, the students loved designing and making their ain soft "Ugly Doll" toy. The school topic was "Celebrate Departure!" Many students had seen the 2019 Ugly Doll film, only we watched the trailer on YouTube so everyone got a sense of how it related to the topic. We discussed the ideas and messages in the moving picture: east.m. "Our flaws are what brand u.s. unique."
Students set up near drafting a shape and design for their 'ugly doll' in their scrap books. The shape needed to be fairly simple then that it would be easy to stitch around. Artillery, legs, ears or any other appendages were added separately. I gave them half and A4 paper to make a template that size to cut out and pivot to their chosen felt colour (two pieces cut together).
Felt scraps, buttons, wool etc, could exist sewn or glued onto the meridian piece of felt to create the face, hair etc. They cut out arms, legs, etc. pinning to the body shape.
The two pieces are pinned around the edges and are stitched together, using either a running stitch or a whip stitch, leaving an opening at the summit or lesser for stuffing, and then stitched up.
Once I worked how to practice a reverse acetate portrait, I got Year 5/6'due south to practise one; the Twelvemonth 6'due south were displayed at Graduation. This is a relatively easy process and in most cases successful! Win-win!
Students were photographed to include head and shoulders to the chest, and printed out in blackness and white on A4 paper. Next, a piece of acetate was taped (but at the height) over the photograph, and so they could lift it up and flip it over.
Using a black permanent marker (we used Fine Signal Sharpies) students trace around their face up and features, hair, clothing, etc, and if they flip the acetate over so it is on top of the back of the photo (white paper) they will see if they have missed any lines. If not they get out information technology flipped over- photograph will be face down and this is the REVERSE of the acetate sheet- the side that you paint on. Their outline is on the other side (the front).
On this reverse side of the acetate, students used either warm or absurd colours to pigment just the hair, clothing and lips and eyebrows if they wanted. They could mix colours and add white; best to do a 2nd coat so that the paint is not transparent. Of course y'all can use other colour schemes- primary, complementary, analogous. We didn't take a lot of fourth dimension left for colour theory!
Next pace it to make some painted newspaper in the contrary colourway than the portrait (absurd>warm, warm>cool). You lot could employ gelli plates to make prints, merely we merely painted the paper, and whilst wet used texture combs to drag through the paint to create something interesting lines ( wavy, swirly, straight) and blending unlike colours a little.
All that needs to be done to complete the reverse acetate portraits is to slip the painted paper under the acetate sheet (the painted side is on the opposite). I left the photo fastened and for display, a card frame was added plus a backing sheet, and Yr half dozen students decorated information technology with their name and the twelvemonth for Graduation.
Equally part of a theme of Growth and Change, Twelvemonth ane & 2 discussed changes in the weather and the seasons and nature. We talked most the traditional seasons of Leap, Summer, Autumn and Wintertime and learnt about the due south even Ancient Seasons of the Kulin Nation (Melbourne and southward central Victoria) by viewing a Calendar. We noted that September and October is called "Poorneet"- Tadpole Flavor. Some children had said they'd seen tadpoles and pocket-size frogs in a local park with a lake.
We watched a video about the life bicycle of a frog, with pictures of the stages and changes.
Students painted a lake, pond or creek/river. They formed tadpoles for plasticine and eggs from bubble wrap.
Painted paper was fabricated with browns and greens using texture wands to make frog skin.
Children used templates to help them draw the body parts for their frog onto the back of their painted paper to then cutting out and glue together, and then identify on their pond scene.

LEARNING INTENTIONS:
To make an Eric Carle inspired butterfly collage with painted newspaper.
We are learning most symmetry and shape.
We are learning well-nigh warm and absurd colours.
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
I tin can cut a symmetrical butterfly shape from painted paper by folding my newspaper in half.
I can cut shapes from absurd coloured newspaper and suit symmetrically onto my butterfly (in the style of Eric Carle)
LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
Children make painted paper with WARM colours. They pigment their entire paper with one warm colour then add texture by scraping a texture comb through the moisture paint. They and then use texture wands to dab or roll some other warm colour over the paper.
Discuss SYMMETRY- mirror images- same on both sides. Wait at some pictures of butterflies and notice the symmetrical designs. Discuss SHAPES – organic: like a butterfly, a leaf, a blossom etc, and geometric like squares and triangles.
Students fold their dry painted newspaper in half (colour inside) and draw one-half a butterfly- perhaps a 'B' shape or chosen wing design next to the fold and cutting out.
Add a long chocolate-brown strip for body in the middle. Add a circumvolve head, eyes and antennae.
Absurd coloured papers (scraps) are folded and used to cut out (two at a time) shapes to be placed symmetrically on butterfly wings.
Eric Carle'southward children's books and illustrations are a delight to read to children and too a wonderful inspiration and then many art projects- who doesn't love painted paper collages?
The Prep students (showtime yr at Primary school) were working on a theme of "Growth and Change" and the story "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" fits in beautifully. This art lesson is the commencement part- of course in that location has to be the cocoon and then the butterfly!
Nosotros watched an animated version of the story on Youtube, and I as well had a copy of the book to look carefully at the pictures. We discussed how they recall Eric Carle fabricated the pictures- someone did eventually proffer that he painted newspaper and then cutting and pasted information technology. We talked virtually how he might have got the effects of texture. I then showed them a short video of Carle making making paper, and collaging a butterfly, so they could encounter his procedure.
Making painted newspaper:
Students were given a tray with a nighttime green, an 'apple tree' green, and white. They were instructed not to actually mix the colours, simply to double dip to cover their unabridged newspaper then while the pigment was moisture to employ a texture wand or rummage to dab or scrape through the moisture paint. They besides did a smaller slice of paper with cerise, yellow and purple paint in sections. These are left to dry for the adjacent session.
We looked at Eric Carle's caterpillar and decided that the shape needed for the body parts was an oval. So to brand a template for the caterpillar's trunk, each kid was given a smallish piece of cardboard to make full information technology with an oval shape. After checking with me that it was big enough, they cutting it out and used that to trace onto the back of their painted newspaper as many equally they could. (we folded the paper in one-half and then they would cut two out at a time) They traced a slightly bigger head on the red paper and used the yellowish to cut circles for optics, the majestic for antennae.
I demonstrated how they could mucilage downwards their ovals- we talked about arranging and overlapping- one time over again referring to Carle'due south caterpillar. Students cut out yellowish eyes, purple antennae and green circles for on superlative of eyes and a pocket-sized triangle nose. I cut the little '50' shaped feet for them from flake brown painted paper.
