Dot Project

During class today, we learned about the dot. We got to make an art project with a coffee filter and experiment to see how different types of drawing utensils would react on the filter. On my filter I chose to use oil pastels and then I used markers to make the color blead when I painted the water on it. Where I used the oil pastels in rejected the water.
Extension Activity: I would post dots all over the school and have the students go on a hunt to find them.The studnets would also have to find an object around the school that looks like a dot as well and take a picture of it with their shcool camera or ipad. This will be perfect to get the studnets up and moving.

Print Making Quilting

For this project we had to create a paper quilt using the print making tools. To make the designs on the paper we had to use a gel plate and our choice of stencils to create whatever designs we wanted with paint. We also had to incorporate different colors and patterns into this project. We would cover our gel plate with paint and a stencil and then put paper over that and roll it with a roller over top to push the design into the paper. We then cut out all the different pattern squares and glued them on to a piece of construction paper to create a quilt. An extension activity I would do with this is incorporating it with a book. It could also be connected to wintertime and I could bring in some of my own personal quilts to show the students. This would let students see the patterns on a real quilt and all the design detail that

Hidden Safari

We created a hidden safari using the upside-down drawing technique. We had the option of picking an animal of our choice. I picked a tiger for mine. WE lightly drew the animal in blue colored pencil. After we had our animal drawn we got to pick warm colors of our choice to create patterns over the previous drawing. We created a pair of red film glasses and when we wore the glasses we were able to see the hidden drawing that you aren’t able to see without the glasses on. Extension Activity: After the students complete this assignment we will have a show and tell time for the students to share their drawings with their classmates. They will be able to read their three clues to everyone and have them guess. After all the guessing is done everyone will go around looking at everyone’s drawings with their red film glasses.
