Printmaking


Description: For this project we did printmaking. We had to have at the end, three different prints, with two of them having vegetables used in them. We had the gelli prints and put different colored paint on them. Then rolled out the paint so that it covered the whole gelli print. Then we either took a vegetable (broccoli, pepper, or celery), or a stencil and pressed it into the gelli print to make the design we wanted. After that, we put the paper on top of the print and pressed it down. After that we pulled the paper off of the gellli print. Then we were left with a nice print. We continued to do so until we had experimented with as many different designs as possible. At the end, we took three of our favorite prints and put them onto the paper for a gallery walk at the end. 

Extension Activity: For the extension activity, I would have the students research different ways printmaking has been used throughout the centuries for different things. They will have to write a short paper of three to four paragraphs explaining at least two different ways they have been used.

Perspective Drawing

Image
  Description: For this assignment, our classmates taught us how to draw with perspective. We had to draw at least four squares in half of the paper, then draw lines from the corners of the squares to the middle of the paper. After that we went over those lines with black sharpie to make the lines stand out. Then we had to pick two of the patterns from their slide show and come up with two of our own to put in the squares. After that we used oil pastels to create at least three different combinations. Extension activity: I would teach the students about buildings and how they have perspective as well. For the assignment they will have to choose a building in their town and draw it. They will research the building and find pictures on the internet. After that they will draw the building showing shading and perspective.

Upside Down Drawings

  Description: For this art project we learned how to draw upside down and how it is easier to draw that way. We started the lesson off by learning about drawing upside down and how it is beneficial to learn that way. When you draw upside down, you are not worrying about what you are drawing like the small details, but the outline of the object. I chose to draw an elephant because I thought it would be a little easier than the other choices. After drawing the elephant upside down with a cool color, we then had to add three different shapes or lines to our project with warm colors. I chose to do red lines, orange diamonds, and yellow swirls. After finishing our project we had to glue it to our background and write on the index card three clues about our animal.  Extension Activity: For this extension activity, I would teach the students about their primary and secondary colors. Students would have a worksheet where they have to label the primary and secondary colors that they u...
