Grade 2 Term 4

Weeks 1-4: Texture Art

October 4-8 (Week 1): Texture Hunt Abstract Rubbing

What you will need:

Materials:

-Found objects around the home that are clean, hard, flat and have texture

-Colour Pencils

-Paper

-Crayon (if you have them)

Let's start:

Have you heard of a 'texture rubbing'?

A texture rubbing happens when you place an object beneath some paper and then rub over the paper with pencils or crayons. The rubbing reveals the object underneath.

Task:

Look at the images to the left. You will be creating an artwork made from textures.
Think of all the objects in your house that are hard, flat and have texture. Here are some examples:

-A grater

-The bottom of a frying pan.

-The bottom of your shoe (this must be disinfected first if you use it)

-The lid of some tines.

-A coin.

Go on a texture scavenger hunt around your home.
Get all your materials together. If you are using colour pencils, make sure they are sharp! In the video, the artist uses crayons, but pencils work too.
Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7kDryR1o6c
Watch carefully how the artist holds the paper so it doesn't slip.
Start rubbing. Think about the position of each object. Are they working together nicely? Are they overlapping in an interesting way?

Good luck!

Learning Intention:

To experiment with texture rubbings

Success Criteria:

I can identify what a texture rubbing is

I can describe how I will hold the paper carefully

I can use my thinking and fine motor skills to accurately rub

Once I have 'finished', I can think of other things I might want to add over to make my artwork even more eye catching!

October 11-15 (Week 2)

Flower Texture Rubbing

What you will need:

Materials:

-Coins

-Grey Lead Pencil

-Colour Pencils

-Paper

-Crayon (if you have one)

Let's start:

This week we will create a tree using coins!

Task:

Look at the image to the left. You will be creating this tree using rubbings.
Get all your materials together. Makes sure the colour pencils you use are sharp! In the video, the artist uses crayons, but pencils work too.
Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCjYTYSWxeo Watch carefully how the artist holds the paper so it doesn't slip.
Before you start, roughly work out where all your flowers will be placed on your paper
Start rubbing your coins, making sure they are placed next to each other in a circle, just like in the picture
Draw the flower stems.

Good luck!

Learning Intention:

To understand how rubbings can create a real life (figurative) object

Success Criteria:

I can identify the skills and knowledge I learnt from my last lesson

I can describe how I will apply these skills and knowledge to a figurative drawing

I can accurately apply these skills and knowledge

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

October 18-22 (Week 3): Texture Landscape Drawing, Part 1 of 2

What you will need:

Materials:

-Paper

-Pencil

-Black marker

Let's start:

For the next two weeks we will create a landscape drawing and then fill it with texture. This week we will draw the outline of our landscape, and next week we will create the texture inside the landscape

Task:

Check out all these outlines of landscapes, thinking about which one you like the most:

2. With a pencil, redraw one of these landscape outlines. If you want, with your parents permission you could internet image search 'landscape outline' to see if you can find one that you like more.

3. Once you have drawn your landscape, give yourself some feedback. What has worked? What could be improved? Does your landscape look realistic just like real life?

3. Once you are happy with your outline of a landscape very neatly go over your pencil with a black marker. Try to make your lines smooth and consistent, just like in the drawings.

4. If your lines are a bit messy, try going over them to smooth them out

5. Take a photo and upload to Seesaw

Congratulations, you have finish your art for this week!

Learning Intention:

To become familiar with the structure of landscapes

Success Criteria:

I can identify the key lines of a landscape drawing

I can describe processes to to improve an artwork

I can accurately apply these processes to a drawing

I can fix up my artwork (refine) once I have finished it to make my lines smooth and consistent.

October 25-29 (Week 4): Texture Landscape Drawing, Part 2 of 2

What you will need:

Materials:

-Last week's landscape outline that you created

-Colour markers (or pencils if you don't have them)

Let's start:

This week you will be adding the texture inside your landscape outline.

Task:

Look at these finished texture landscapes. When looking at them, think about the textures (patterns) the artists have used in each section, and the colours they have chosen:

2. Did you notice: -The overall direction of each group of textures?

-The neatness and consistency of the textures?

-How the textures sometimes overlap?

3. Before drawing your textures, have some scrap paper next to you to practice/experiment your different textures first. If you like them, apply the texture to your artwork, if you don't like something, then try a new texture practice/experiment

4. Take a break sometimes. The key is focus. To focus, sometimes you need a rest. You might want to do this over a few sittings.

5. Once you have 'finished', give yourself some feedback. Could you add more textures overs some sections or are you really happy with the overall effect?

5. Photograph and upload it to Seesaw.

I hope you have enjoyed your texture unit!

Learning Intention:

To understand that nature is made up of different textures

Success Criteria:

I can identify lots of different textures

I can describe textures I would like to use in my artwork

I can accurately apply my favourite textures by experimenting first

I can give myself feedback to improve my artwork
