PROJECTS:
Moving Machines
Creating arts and crafts projects related to moving machines can be a fun and educational way to engage 9-year-old students in a school setting. Here are some activity ideas:
Paper Plate Windmills:
Provide paper plates, markers, colored paper, and wooden sticks.
Have students decorate the paper plates with colorful designs.
Attach the wooden stick to the plate with a thumbtack or brass fastener.
Place the windmills outside on a windy day and watch them spin.
Balloon-Powered Cars:
Provide empty plastic bottles, bottle caps, straws, balloons, and wheels (you can use bottle caps or small plastic lids).
Students can design and decorate their "cars" using the bottles as the car body.
Attach the wheels to the bottle caps and straw axles.
Blow up a balloon, attach it to the straw, and let go to watch the cars move.
Simple Pulley Systems:
Introduce students to the concept of pulleys and how they make moving heavy objects easier.
Provide a variety of materials like string, cardboard, and small toy cars.
Have students create simple pulley systems using cardboard and string to lift or move objects.
Straw Rockets:
Provide drinking straws, paper, tape, and markers.
Have students decorate and assemble paper rockets around the straws.
Use a balloon pump to launch the rockets by quickly releasing the air, demonstrating propulsion.
Rubber Band-Powered Boats:
Provide small plastic containers, rubber bands, craft sticks, and paper.
Students can decorate and customize their boats using paper and craft sticks.
Attach a rubber band to the back of the boat, wind it up, and release it in a water-filled container to see the boat move.
Marble Runs:
Provide cardboard tubes, paper cups, tape, and marbles.
Encourage students to build their own marble runs by cutting and taping the tubes together.
Experiment with different configurations to create paths for the marbles to travel through.
Kinetic Art Sculptures:
Introduce students to famous kinetic artists like Alexander Calder.
Provide materials like wire, beads, and small objects.
Have students create their own kinetic art sculptures that move and balance in interesting ways.
Collage of Moving Machines:
Provide magazines, scissors, glue, and large poster boards.
Ask students to cut out images of different moving machines (e.g., trains, airplanes, bicycles) and create a collage on their poster board.
Encourage them to add their own drawings or designs to the collage.
These activities not only allow students to explore the world of moving machines but also promote creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning in the arts and crafts classroom.
Colours in a Still Life
Creating art related to a still life is a wonderful way to teach 9-year-old students about color, composition, and observation. Here are some art activities that involve color and still life subjects:
Fruit Bowl Painting:
Set up a still life arrangement with a variety of colorful fruits like apples, oranges, and grapes.
Provide students with paints, brushes, and canvases or heavy paper.
Have them create a detailed painting of the still life, focusing on capturing the vibrant colors and textures of the fruits.
Colorful Flower Bouquets:
Arrange a bouquet of colorful flowers in a vase as a still life subject.
Provide watercolor paints, brushes, and watercolor paper.
Instruct students to paint the flowers, paying close attention to the different shades and hues of the petals and leaves.
Mixed Media Collage:
Collect a variety of objects related to a still life, such as fruits, flowers, vases, and fabric.
Provide colored paper, scissors, glue, and markers.
Have students create a mixed media collage by cutting out and arranging the still life elements on colored paper and adding their own artistic touches with markers.
Chalk Pastel Still Life:
Arrange a still life setup with colorful objects or fruits.
Provide students with colored chalk pastels and black or colored paper.
Instruct them to create a vibrant still life drawing using chalk pastels, focusing on blending and shading to achieve depth and richness of color.
Paper Mosaic Still Life:
Select a simple still life subject, such as a bowl of fruit.
Give students colored construction paper or magazine clippings in various colors.
Have them cut the paper into small pieces and create a mosaic-style still life on a larger sheet of paper, paying attention to color placement.
Color Wheel Exploration:
Teach students about the color wheel and color theory.
Provide them with a still life setup featuring objects of varying colors.
Ask students to create a color wheel artwork using the colors they observe in the still life, arranging them in the correct order on their paper.
Monochromatic Still Life:
Arrange a still life using objects of the same color family (e.g., all shades of blue).
Provide students with paints, colored pencils, or pastels in that same color family.
Have them create a monochromatic still life artwork, exploring different shades and tones within the chosen color.
Colorful Fabric Collage:
Set up a still life featuring colorful fabric swatches, ribbons, and textiles.
Provide fabric scraps, glue, and canvas or heavy paper.
Instruct students to create a textured fabric collage of the still life, experimenting with layering and color combinations.
Animal Textures
Animal textures refer to the tactile qualities or surface patterns found on the skin, fur, scales, feathers, or other physical features of animals. These textures can be rough, smooth, soft, bumpy, scaly, or any other variation that is unique to different species. Exploring animal textures in arts and crafts activities can help students develop their sensory awareness, creativity, and appreciation for the diversity of the animal kingdom.
Here are some activities related to animal textures for 9-year-old students in an arts and crafts class:
Texture Rubbings:
Provide students with a variety of textured surfaces such as tree bark, leaves, and rocks.
Show them pictures of animals with different textures (e.g., reptile scales, bird feathers, mammal fur).
Have students use crayons or charcoal to make texture rubbings of the provided surfaces and then create their own animal textures inspired by what they see.
Fingerprint Animals:
Introduce students to animals with distinct textures like zebras, tigers, or cheetahs.
Provide ink pads and blank sheets of paper.
Have students create animal fingerprint art by using their fingerprints to mimic the texture of these animals' fur or skin.
Texture Collage:
Show students images of various animals with different textures.
Provide a selection of textured materials such as fabric scraps, tissue paper, sandpaper, and feathers.
Instruct students to create a collage of their favorite animal, using the textured materials to represent the animal's skin, fur, or scales.
Clay Animal Sculptures:
Give students modeling clay or air-dry clay.
Show them pictures of animals with diverse textures.
Encourage them to sculpt their favorite animal, paying close attention to replicating the animal's texture in the clay. They can use tools to create details like scales or fur.
Textured Animal Masks:
Provide students with plain white masks or cardboard cutouts.
Show them images of animals like tigers, crocodiles, or owls, which have distinct textures on their faces.
Have students decorate their masks with paint, paper, fabric, or other materials to mimic the textures of their chosen animal.
Texture Collagraph Prints:
Teach students about printmaking techniques and collagraphs (printing plates made from collaged materials).
Provide a variety of textured materials like sandpaper, fabric, string, and cardboard.
Have students create their own collagraph plates by arranging and gluing these textured materials onto a sturdy base.
Once the plates are dry, students can apply ink and print their textured animal designs.
Texture Safari Book:
Challenge students to go on a "texture safari" where they find and document textures in their environment.
Provide them with a blank journal or sketchbook.
Students can draw or create rubbings of different textures they discover, including those inspired by animal textures.
