Art Activity for the Week of 6/1-6/5

IMAGINATION ROBOTS!

Art Assignment:

Hi! I hope you are enjoying these art assignments along with all the other subjects you are a part of these days.

For this lesson, I would like you to draw a variety of shapes and patterns to create an artwork featuring your very own robot!

I want you to think about shape, pattern and color to create an imaginative drawing. Describe your robot and why you need your designed robot to lend a hand!

Think about how your robot could be a part of your everyday life.

Create an interesting environment around them!

Supplies and Materials

• 9” x 12” drawing paper
• Pencil
• Colored markers
• Black permanent marker
• Highlighter markers

Art Activity for the Week of 5/25-5/29

Surprise Ferocious Creature!

ried out the fish drawing, but then felt the need to make more animals that look really sweet, but could be secretly ferocious with the addition of a massive set of sharp chompers.

Surprises are good, especially when they happen in art, especially when they are funny. This paper project is full of surprises and laughs!

Directions:

Fold your piece of paper in half, widthwise.

Fold back one or both of the two edges opposite from the first fold. What? How do I explain this…. here. just look:

• See how the fish one had 3 folds, but the bunny only has 2 folds? You can do it either way. The last guy has 3 folds but really didn’t need them, because things like paper confuse me easily.

Draw your sweet, gentle animal with pencil on the folded paper, being careful where the folds are: you want to make sure the mouth looks good closed, but that it also will look terrifyingly fierce when you open up the paper.

With each being, I had to play around with the drawings a few times to get a good balance. I found that drawing some sort of weird lips worked well.

Open your page up and draw in your giant, gaping mouth, complete with so many pointy teeth. Draw in the rest of the body on the rest of the paper, and add in any details such as: scales, lines, feathers, random hands, fins, fur, etc.

Once you are happy with your drawing, draw over the pencil lines in Sharpie.

Materials:

• regular drawing paper and printer paper for ease of folding
• pencil
• black marker
• colored markers

I used the regular thinner paper so I could fold them more easily and sharply.

Suggested Art Activity for the week of April 6th-April 10th...

Good Morning Everyone!!! I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day!! I wanted to let you know that it has been brought to my attention that Swansea is participating in an "Easter Egg Hunt" for Easter where you can decorate and color an Easter Egg and hang it in a window in your house. Then, at the end of the week you can take a drive around town and see how many other Easter Eggs you can find hanging in windows. I thought this would be a great art activity for you to do this week if you'd like, and what a fun way to have an Easter Egg hunt!!!

Students in Grade 2 have been learning about the Artist Henri Matisse. Some activities to support that may include creating a colorful collage with found objects from around the house. Practice "drawing with scissors and sculpting with color" just as Matisse did! Find as many different kinds of paper around your house (magazines, wrapping paper, tissue paper etc)and create a colorful collage out of it! Have fun and be creative! All you need is scissors, paper, a glue stick and your imagination!

Week of March 30th-April 4th...To continue with the theme of making Collage art, try this fun activity! Stripey Insect Collages on Pinterest! Click 0n the link below to find out more.
