This first attempt of a face drawing felt quite basic, but I had to think about how I wanted to position my face and what features I would include. This drawing is certainly not professional but I enjoyed the activity.This Activity will be used as early as year k-2 by generating artistic ideas through mark, image, and object making and spatialarrangements.

This drawing was much

easier I understood

where I had to place

everything and did not

have to think about

detail.

This Activity will be

used as early as year k-2

by generating artistic

ideas through mark,

image, and object

making and spatial

This was very difficult

especially

when adding the finer detail. My

mind found it hard to focus

where the line ended. The lead

on my drawing was darker

where I was clearly more

confidant .

I was dissatisfied with the eyes

and hands.

This particular activity can be

attempted from years 3-8, whilst

choosing a particular picture

this one is not advisable until

the later years 5 and up. The

technicality of the picture

depends on the year level of the

students..

Interesting activity, my

hand thought it had it but

my brain seemed to have

other ideas.

This activity could be used

throughout the curriculum.

The banana turned out

very basic, I was unable

to put any detail in to

define any marks or

features, therefore

ending with a simple

result.

Positive shapes occupy

positive space, the area

around the positive

shape, know as the

background, is negative

space. In this picture

the colored in area

represents the negative

space.

The car drawing was

quite difficult, I would

allow the more

advanced year 6

students to attempt this

drawing. The lighthouse

didn’t have as much

detail, in saying this it

would be perfect for

year 6 students.

The top picture is a sample

of sgraffito. This is a fun

technique, the use of

crayons on a piece of paper

and painting over in black

paint. I then used the end of

my brush to make patterns

which allowed the color to

shine through.

The second picture is a

monoprint, whilst the

sgraffito was wet I placed

another piece of white paper

over the print to copy the

scribed in picture that I had

drawn.

This is a sample of screen

printing, I printed these for

NADOC day at Driver Primary

School 2011. Incorporating

such an activity into the

curriculum at any year level is

beneficial, the use of color,

stenciling and positive and

negative color and will assist

with indigenous perspective.

Materials required:

Print screen

Paint

Fabric

This Mosaic is of 2 balloons.

It has been made up of shells,

buttons and beads. A n

outline of the balloons was

drawn before applying the

materials. The use of PVA

glue has been applied to stick

the materials to the paper.

This form of art can be

introduced at any stage from

K – 6 . It explores color,

texture and visualization. The

activity also explores positive

and negative space.

of magazines, using the

pictures to tell a story.

This is a pom pom. In constructing a pom pom you need the following materials:Wool, assortment of colorsA 2 pieces of cardScissorsDarning needleFirst cut the card into 2 circles 5 cm in diameter. Then cut another circle in the middle with a 2 cm diameter. Have wool cut into about 1 meter lengths changing color as you go. As the wool gets thicker use a darning needle to thread through. Once in a tight disc, use the scissors to cut along the edge.The URL of the procedure I used is as follows : http://www.kid-craft-central.com/pom-poms.html

This is a sample of cross stitch. I

competed this 10 years ago when I

was pregnant with my first child. I

framed about 5 during this period.

The white background is a fabric

mesh consisting of little squares.

The procedure requires a darning

needle and different colored cotton.

Whilst making a cross stitch you

need to count the squares and

there is a lot of hand eye co-

ordination required.

This particular pattern would be to

difficult for lower primary students.

In that case I would use a more

simple pattern. An example
