Borrowed Lesson PlansScratch ArtColor a sheet of paper with bright crayons. Make stripes, blotches or any pattern you like. Press hard to make a thick layer of crayon all over the paper. Paint a coat of black tempera (poster) paint all over the top of the colorful crayon layer (add a drop of dish soap to the black paint so it will stick to the crayon wax). After the paint is dry, scratch a design into the black surface with a bent paperclip. The bright crayon colors will show beautifully through the black. Scratch art fans will also enjoy the 5 great scratchboard examples in the current
KidsArt Gallery.
Materials: Paper, crayons, black tempera paint, a drop of dish soap, paintbrush, paperclip.
Time: 10 minutes to color the crayon layer.3-5 minutes to paint over the crayon.10-15 minutes to scratch a design after the paint has dried.
Foam PrintmakingTurn leftover foam egg cartons, meat trays and pizza boxes into a printmaking project. Plastic foam containers can be recycled into artwork. Just cut a flat section of the foam (square, round, or an irregular shape) and glue it onto a piece of cardboard to add strength.Then draw a design into the foam with a ballpoint pen. Press firmly to make a nice impression. Make lines and dots, patterns and decorations. If you include letters, you will have to make them backwards, because your final print will be a mirror image of the design you draw.Use a brayer to roll a thin layer of printmaking ink or thick tempera paint onto the foam. You want to cover the flat surface, but not the lines you hav drawn into the foam. The lines should stay clean and have no ink or paint in them, so don't press too hard o use too much paint.Place a sheet of plain paper on top of the inky foam and press gntly but firmly to transfer the ink onto the paper. Lift the paper off and admire your design. You can print over and over again....make lots of designs and use them as cards or pictures to give to all of your friends.
Materials: Flat foam cartons, scissors, white glue, cardboard for a backing, ballpoint pen, printmaking ink or thick tempera or acrylic pint, a brayer (a little rubber roller used in printmaking - costs less than $10 and is a great tool for kids' art projects).
Time: 20-25 minutes.
CaterpillersObjectives:This Art Book was created to help art educators by giving them another form of assessment. So many times we as art educators find it difficult to assess a child's progress when projects are sent home. By using portfolio assessment it is easier to judge a child's progress because you can see it from beginning to end.
What You Need:3x3 colored construction paper squares (red, yellow, blue)
scissors
glue
crayons
10x12 white construction paper
12x18 colored construction paper (to create another page)
"I can make a pattern" stripWhat You Do:
Talk about patterns. How they repeat, and the different types of patterns (color, numbers, shapes, letters, etc.) Have them try to find patterns on their clothes or around the room. Once they understand the basic of patterns, that they repeat then you are ready to start the lesson.
Have student round the corners of the squares to create circles. Then they need to arrange it in a pattern (red, yellow, blue, red, yellow, blue, etc.) or whatever color they want to come first, on the white construction paper.
Once you have checked that they have completed the pattern correctly they can glue it down on the white paper (have them arrange it so it looks like a caterpillar)
After they have glued on the circles and created a caterpillar they can then use their crayons to add details, like legs, antenna's, etc.
Then they glue the whole project on the large colored construction paper.
Glue the
"I can make a pattern" strip on the colored construction paper, date the back of the page.
You have another completed page in your art book
