July 20-25 (Lesson 1): Drawing HYBRID ANIMALS

What you will need:

Materials:

-Grey Lead Pencil

-Markers

-Paper.

Let's start:

Have you ever heard of a monkey-dog, or a snake-cat?

Hi Preps! Today we are going to draw hybrid animals! A hybrid animal is an when you combine two or more animals together.

Have a look at the pictures on the left. They are examples of different hybrid animals!

What other hybrid animals can you think of? What could you mix with a koala? How about a spider!

Task:

On some paper, I would like you to create as many hybrid animals as you can. See if you can come up with 10 on one page!

While you are creating your animals, I want you to focus on:

Drawing really neatly and accurately.
Colouring in really accurately.
Not rushing your work and taking your time.
Fixing up your drawings once you have finished them to make them even better (refining my artwork).

Mr Hudson is really looking forward to seeing your animals at our next zoom meeting and uploaded to Seesaw :)

Good luck!

Learning Intention:

To draw neatly and accurately

Success Criteria:

I can identify what neat and accurate drawing looks like

I can describe how I am going to draw neatly and accurately

I can use my thinking and fine motor skills to draw neatly and accurately

I can fix up my artwork (refine) once I have finished it to make it even better

July 27-31 (Lesson 2): Drawing your favorite hybrid animal and where it lives

Great job last week Preps! This is what we will do this week:

Pick your favorite animal from last week and redraw it even better, making sure you take up your whole page.
Draw a background of where your animal lives.

Have a look at all the hybrid animals you did last week. Which one do you like the most? Once you have picked the one you like the most, think about how you could improve it.

Could you draw it even more neatly than last week?

Could you add or change something to make it look even more like the animals you are trying to draw?

Could you colour in even more accurately?

Remember, you can talk to Mr Hudson through Seesaw.

Now, on some A3 or A4 paper, draw your favorite hybrid animal, taking up most of your page.

Next, think of where your animal lives.

If it is a dog-spider, could it live on a web in a kennel?

If it is a giraffe-monkey, could it be swinging in the trees whilst eating leaves?

Now, in the background (behind your hybrid animal) draw where your animal lives.

You can add as much colour as you like.

Congratulations, you have finished your artwork. Mr Hudson is really looking forward to seeing you artwork on Zoom and uploaded to Seesaw

Learning Intention:

To draw neatly and accurately

Success Criteria:

I can identify what neat and accurate drawing looks like

I can describe how I am going to draw neatly and accurately

I can use my thinking and fine motor skills to draw neatly and accurately

I can fix up my artwork (refine) once I have finished it to make it even better

August 3-7 (Lesson 3) Create a jigsaw puzzle

Materials:

-A3 or A4 card. If you don't have card you can use paper

-Pencil and pen

-Scissors

Hi everyone. This week you are going to create your own special jigsaw puzzle!

Step 1: On some paper, draw a picture. You can use pencils, textas or even paint if you like. Your picture can be anything. Here are some examples of what you could draw:

-Your family

-Your pet

-A house

-A rainbow

Remember, it can be anything!

Step 2: With a pen, over the top of your picture I would like you to draw the shapes of a jigsaw puzzle. Have a look at the templates to the left to see the jigsaw designs you could draw over the top of your picture. I want you to have no more than 9 puzzle pieces. Any more and it will take us too long to cut out.

Step 3: Cut out your jigsaw. Here are a few cutting tips:

-Cut really slowly and focus. It is really easy to accidentally cut where you don't want to. If you cut slowly and really focus, you are more likely to make less mistakes and cut more accurately.

-Instead of turning your scissors when you are cutting around corners, try turning your paper when cutting around corners. I find this much easier.

-If you are finding it hard to cut accurately, try taking lots of little snips.

Step 4: Give your jigsaw to someone from your family to put it back together again.

Step 5: Upload it to Seesaw and share it at our next Zoom meeting.

Learning Intention:

To cut accurately.

Success Criteria:

I can identify accurate cutting techniques

I can describe the cutting techniques I will use

I can apply my cutting techniques to my artwork

I can reflect on my cutting, thinking about what went well and what I could improve in the future

August 10-14 (Lesson 4) Recycled flowers COLLAGE Artwork Session 1 of 2

What you will need for this project

-Household cardboard packaging -eg cereal boxes

-Pencil

-Scissors

-Glue

-Markers for background, eg textas, pencils, paint etc.

-A3 or A4 paper

Lets Start

For the next two weeks we will be creating an artwork made from cutting out flower shapes from used boxes and pasting them onto paper. This will give us even more practice cutting and pasting, and at the same time we will create a beautiful artwork. For today we will be creating our flowers.

Step 1. Watch this tutorial on how to draw a beautiful flower:

https://safeyoutube.net/w/i4SN

Step 2: On some 'practice paper', practice drawing this flower. Practice as many times as you like, making sure you are super neat and accurate. Last term you also drew some flowers. If you like, you could practice drawing them again.

Step 3: Look around the house and ask your parents for some used cardboard packaging. Take a look at the examples on the left for what you could use. You want bright and colourful cardboard packaging so your flowers will be bright and colourful.

Step 4: On the back of your boxes, you are going to draw that beautiful flower shape again. Make sure you are super accurate and neat. Draw them as big as the packaging allows and draw as many as you can. At least 5 will be good.

Step 5: Remember all the tips for accurate cutting you focused on last week? It is time to cut your flowers out.

Well done! Mr Hudson is looking forward to seeing your flowers uploaded to Seesaw and seeing them at our next Zoom meeting :)

Learning Intention:

To cut accurately.

Success Criteria:

I can identify accurate cutting techniques

I can describe the cutting techniques I will use

I can apply my cutting techniques to my artwork

I can reflect on my cutting, thinking about what went well and what I could improve in the future

August 17-21 (Lesson 5) Recycled Flowers Collage Artwork Session 2 of 2

OK, this week we will be refining our cutting, pasting our flowers onto some paper and then adding background to our drawing. When you glue paper onto another piece paper, this is known as 'collage'.

Step 1: Have a look at your flowers you cut out last week. Are there any parts you would like to fix up to make them neater. This is known as refining.

Step 2: Find some more cardboard packaging. Once you have some, cut out long strips. Cut out the same amount of strips as you have flowers. This will create the stems for your flowers.

Step 3: Glue your strips (stems) onto some A3 or A4 paper. Use lots of glue so it sticks on well!

Step 4: Paste your flowers at the end of your strips.

Step 5: With a green pencil or texta, add some grass at the bottom of your artwork

Step 6: Decorate your sky with what ever you want. Here are some suggestions:

-Clouds

-Rain

-Sun

-Birds

-Airplane

-Rainbow

You can use any texta, pencils or even paint to do this

Extension: Have a look at the artwork to the left. How many flowers do you think are there? How many stems are there? If you want, you could fill your artwork up with more flowers and even more stems!

Step 7: Congratulations, you have finished! Now upload your artwork to Seesaw and be ready to share it at our next Zoom meeting!!!

Learning Intention:

To collage an artwork

Success Criteria:

I can identify what a collage is

I can describe why it is important to use lots of glue when making a collage

I can create a collage

I can add detail to my collage

'How to Draw' Unit (Lessons 6-9)

For the next 4 lessons, we are going to follow some video tutorials to learn how to draw different things.

Each lesson will get more and more challenging. Our last lesson with focus on drawing a real face!

Here are a few tips to think about:

Draw very slowly. The slower you draw, the neater your drawing, the better and more real it looks!
When you watch the videos, press pause a lot. This will help you draw slowly and keep up.
When the artist in the video talks or has writing, really focus on what they are saying. They might be giving some very useful tips.
Look at the size of the page, and how much the artist uses of the page for each line. If the artist draws a circle that takes up half of the page at the top, then make sure your circle takes up half of the page at the top, not less or more, ad not in the middle or bottom.
Have more than one go each week. FAIL = First Attempt In Learning. The more you practice, the better you get.
With an adult supervising, don't be afraid to search for other drawing videos on YouTube. Once again, the more you practice, the better you get.
The biggest tip to awesome drawing.... FOCUS ON WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

Can't wait to see all your awesome drawings each week when you upload them onto Seesaw

Unit Learning Intention

To develop an understanding of shape and positioning of line in drawings

Success Criteria

I can identify why accurate shape and positioning of line enhances my drawings

I can describe the shapes and positions i will draw my lines on my paper

I can accurately draw shapes and position these shapes to create a drawing of an object

I can apply what I have learnt to my next lesson (transfer skills)

August 24-28 (Lesson 6)

How to draw using numbers

Here is what you need to do this week:

Watch this video:

https://safeyoutube.net/w/guFS

On A4 paper, write the number '1' just like you saw in the video. If you want, you can cut the A4 paper in half so your drawing is half the size.
Pause the video once the sail has been draw, then you draw the sail.
Press play, watch the artist draw the bottom of the boat, then press pause. Now you draw the bottom of the boat.
Press play, watch the artist draw the windows and finish the sail, then press pause. Now you draw the windows and finish the sail.
Press play, watch the artist draw the water, then press pause. Now you draw the water
For all the other number drawings, just like you did with the number '1' boat, constantly press pause after each little bit is draw, then you draw.
Take one photo with all your drawings in it and upload it to Seesaw. Well done, you have finished :)

August 31-September 4 (Lesson 7)

How to draw a rabbit

Hi everyone. This week you are going to be really challenged! Remember:

-Pause the video lots so you can draw slowly and keep up too.

-Look very carefully where the artist draws his lines, and the size of them.

Here is what you need to do:

Watch this video through to the end:

https://safeyoutube.net/w/CzFS

Get all your materials ready (paper and marker) and put the video back to the start. Press play o the video and pause it once the artist draws the big half-circle (semi-circle) at the bottom of the page. Now you draw the big semi-circle. Look carefully at how high off the bottom of the page the artist draw. Try to position everything exactly as the artist does.
Press play, watch the artist draw the start of the foot. Press pause and then you draw the foot.
Keep doing this until you have finished the bunny. Good luck!
If you want, you could add shading and a background to your picture.
I f you want, with adult supervision you could look up a more challenging 'how to draw a rabbit' tutorial.
Remember to upload your artwork to Seesaw. Mr Hudson can't wait to see what you have done :)

September 7-11 (Lesson 8)

How to draw a dragon and colour/shade

Hi everyone.

Last week I really challenged you with a very difficult tutorial. Well guess what? I think you will be even more challenged this week. But don't worry. The more you practice drawing, the better you get.

Remember these two important points:

-Pause the video lots so you can draw slowly and keep up too.

-Look very carefully where the artist draws his lines and the size of them.

Here is what you need to do:

Watch this video through to the end:

https://safeyoutube.net/w/L0FS

Recently, Safe YouTube has not been consistently working due to so much use. If the above link dose not work, please click on this link that dose have ads: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+draw+a+dragon&rlz=1C1GCEA_enAU842AU842&oq=how+to+draw+a+dragon&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0l7.5275j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_RTBYX-ipOLib4-EPspy_uAU19

Get all your materials ready (paper, marker and pencils) and put the video back to the start.
The size and position of the first few marks of your dragon are the most important. If you get this right, the rest of your drawing will be easier and look better. Press play at the start of the video, watch the artist draw the eye, pause and then you draw the eye. Do the same with the nose, then mouth and jaw, and then the teeth.
Watch very carefully the shape and size of the neck. Pause, then you draw. Keep doing this until you finish drawing your dragon.
When it's time to colour in your dragon, remember to outline first, then colour in the inside. Remember, no scribbling :)
Shading: Watch very carefully what the artist does. Shading makes your dragon look even more real!
Don't forget to go back around your dragon with a thicker marker line at the end to make your dragon really pop out.
If you want, you could add a background to your picture.
Remember to take a picture and upload to Seesaw. Mr Hudson can't wait to see your awesome dragon! :)

September 14-18 (Lesson 9)

How to Draw a face (portrait)

Hi Preps,

I know we have had a lot of practice drawing a face. For our final 'How To Draw' lesson, we are going to learn how to draw a face that look real! In the video that you will watch, the drawings are on a whiteboard. I would like you to draw with paper and pencil, and I also want to see all your lines the help you put everything in the right place. You will know what I am talking about once you watch the video.

Drawing something that looks real is all about drawing shapes that are the right size and in the right position.

Have you ever seen a person with eyes on their forehead? Well that is where most people who haven't practiced drawig a face usually draw the eyes :) Your eyes are actually in the middle of your head. In fact, children's eyes are slightly below the center of the head. Take a look at the pictures to the left to see eyes in the right place and eyes that are too high.

Here is what you need to do this week:

Watch this video through to the end:

https://safeyoutube.net/w/VpFS

Go back to the start, press play, and pause when the 'egg' shape is drawn. Now you draw.
Press play, watch the artist dot out the center of the face. Now it's your turn to draw.
Keep watching, pausing and doing untill you have finished your face.
Practice as many times as you like. The more times you practice, the better you get
Extension: If you like, with your parents you could look up YouTube for tutorials on how to draw realistic looking eyes and mouths.
Upload all your work to Seesaw. Can't wait to see all your awesome work
