ZENTANGLE AUTUMN LEAF

First, it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with all of the elements of art, that's why let's read this poem by M.C. Gillis

The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create be images beautiful drawing structured patterns.

Explore this video  to learn more about the benefits and beauty of the Zentangle Method and our nourishing world-wide Zentangle community.

 

So how do you get started? First, practice different line designs on a plain white paper. We folded the paper into some sections to introduce zigzags, stripes, dots, wave, spirals... After practicing the designs, I let students create some of their own patterns and designs. 

 

And now it's time to create your own Zentangle Autumn Leaf.

BEHIND MY MASK, A SUPER KID SELF-PORTRAIT !

 I always seem to start out school year with a selfie so I was bummed when I thought of the idea of my students drawing themselves with their best facial feature hidden. 

And that's where the idea of this surprise drawing came from. Here's a video by Cassie Stephens 

You simply are going to use  paper, permanent marker, coloring markers and crayons

 

 THese can  be the results

for this great idea!!!

STILL LIFES

A still life (bodegón en español) is simply a painting or drawing of objects. It is different from other forms of figurative work in the sense that it  can  not move and it is close to you.

There are two forms of still life:

1.-Group of natural objects: food, flowers, fruit, vegetables..

2.-Group of objects made by people: cooking pots, bottles, clothing, musical instrumets...

They were very popular in the 17th century. If we see now, we can know a bit of History in them

Some important artist who created still lifes are

Caravaggio

Paul Cezanne

Henri Matisse

Salvador Dalí

Vicent Van Gogh

Now it's your turn, you have to create your own still life in a photo and then you have to make a slide with two photos, the original and your photo like this and share with me

RAINBOWS IN OUR WINDOWS

Why are people putting rainbow pictures in their windows?

Rainbow pictures have been placed in windows to cheer up passers by.

These pictures are meant to offer a message of hope to the public during the coronavirus lockdown.

They have primarily been drawn by children urging people to keep positive, with rainbows showing that the sun follows heavy rainfall.

Now it's time to create our rainbows with a positive message to create a big mural at school and think we are going to survive this virus.

ANIMAL HAND SHADOWS PUPPETS

How many of these hand shadow puppets have you tried making?

You rarely get to see hand shadow puppets in this area of high tech gadgets when entertainment is just a tap on the screen away. But before smartphone, tablets, Netflix and what-not, hand shadow puppets served as a simple form of entertainment earlier.

Let's have a look to this videos

If you want to take a break from your technology, why not to get creative and create some animal shadow puppets?

It's easy and it can be a great way to have some fun with your family.
 Get those fingers and hands working and try some images, then you might use tech to record or take a photo of your figures and tell us the animal or animals you are creating.

 Here , ClipArt, you have some more animal shadows

OP ART 3D CONE

We introduce pupils to various OP Art by artists Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley, and learned what Op art was (Optical Illusion Art) with some videos.

Now it's time to start:

Six straight lines that intersect at the same spot, were drawn ahead of time on 80# 10×10″ paper for each student with a ruler; Creating 12 “slices” in total. 

Students then drew a series of concentric curved lines alternating the direction of the curve within each “slice”. 

Once finished with that step, students labeled every OTHER slice with a “B” lightly in pencil, to mark that space as black.

Once finished with that step, students labeled every OTHER slice with a “B” lightly in pencil, to mark that space as black.

This step helps speed things along as kids color in– (just locate the ones labeled “B”), AND reduces any potential mistakes while using Sharpie. 

Once that’s all set, students then started tracing over the smallest slices labeled “B” in the center, using a extra fine point Sharpie, (so it wouldn’t bleed too much into the small white sections), then filled in.

As areas got larger, kids switched to a Fine Point Sharpie, (since it has a thicker tip), and colored in the rest.
