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.

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

Paper Fish

For this activity we got to pick two contrasting colors for our fish which are two color that are opposite on the color wheel. We were able to pick our own animal and then trace it on the paper which by having the two colors really made it pop out. We also got to pick our own choice of background pattern that were already cut out pieces of paper. Extension activity: I would bring this project into a science lesson. I would have the student research about the animal that they choice to have on their art project. The students would also have to add five fun facts that they learned on the back of the paper and share with the class.

3D Hot Air Baloon

For this 3D project we created a hot air balloon. To create the 3D illusion, we took a paper plate and glued at least twenty paper strips of paper with space in-between the strips and the plate which created the 3D effect of having depth. Below the hot air balloon, we had to draw a landscape of our choice. Then we also attached cotton balls that were 3D as well to look like clouds. Extension Activity: I would tie this art project into language arts. I would have the students write a paragraph about if they would get to take a ride on a hot air balloon here would they want to go and why. Students would present there air balloon project and read their paragraph to the class.
