Crayons/Oil pastels- Chameleons scratch art

-



Activity: For this activity, we got to make a chameleon with scratch art. The first thing that we did was we used oil pastels and colored a piece of paper. We used the colors of the rainbow to color. The next thing that we did was made a border around our paper with tape. We then used the black paint that they provided for us to completely cover our oil pastel coloring. We had to let our painting dry, so we then took another piece of paper and drew our chameleon. After we drew our chameleon and added texture, we had to flip the paper over and lightly shade the back of it. We then traced our chameleon onto a sample scratch art. We had the outline on the sample one, so we took our wood stick and made the outline noticeable. The last few things that we did was trace the chameleon onto our our scratch art that we created. We took the painting did the same thing that we did was the sample one. (Traced it on there, then used the wooden stick to make it more noticeable). The last thing that we did was take the tape off and complete the self evaluation. This was such a fun activity and this is a great idea of something to do with students. 


Extension Activity: One extension activity that I think you can do with students is have them research different different facts about chameleons. They would have to write a certain number of facts that they found while they were researching. Some ideas that I would give my students is where do they live, how big can they get, and what is the longest time a chameleon has lived? Students are able to gain more information from researching questions about this animal.

Printmaking

  Activity: We started this lesson by learning about printmaking and some of the artists. We got to look at a powerpoint that had some facts about the artist and some of their artwork. After that, we got to start being an artist. The first thing that we did was make a design that had three different patterns. After we made that design on paper, we have to trace it onto a piece of Styrofoam. Once we have the lines on the styrofoam, we went over it with a pencil to make the indents on the paper deeper. We then took a piece of paper where we did our background. You had to make the background either 3 warms colors or 3 cool colors. In my design, I had a background of three cool colors. We then got to do our print making. We had to pick a color that we wanted to use for the ink. I chose the color blue. You would take the ink and then roll into onto our styrofoam. We would have to choose a corner of the styrofoam to always be in the center. After that, we would print the ink onto our pap...

Footprint Introductions

Description: This is my footprint introduction. This is here to represent me and things that are important to me. I have added a volleyball because I play volleyball at NSU and want to coach after I graduate from NSU. I also added in my graduation year of 2023. I love to read books, so I added one of my favorite books which is Harry Potter. I am from Aberdeen, SD and I work at Ken's the grocery store. In this project, I have included more than three medias. These include: construction paper, marker, sharpies, magazine, and a posted note.  Extension Activity: An extension to this assignment would be that the students would create a footprint introduction like we did, but a little different. Instead of putting only things that we like, the students would add information in their culture and backgrounds. I feel like this would be a great way for other classmates and myself to learn more about a student and what they culture/background is like. You could have them trace both of their f...

African Masks

Activity: At the beginning of the class period, we got to learn about African Masks. They had given us some background on African masks, which included things like what they were, why they were used, and the meaning behind them. After that, we got to complete a pre test that had us draw 4 lines of symmetry on some pictures. They we had to draw 2 geometrics shapes and then create a pattern with the 2 geometric shapes. After that, we goto to start to design our masks. They started by having us create our mask on the back of our pre-assessment. After we had a design planned out, we got to transfer it to the construction paper. When we created our mask, we had to have three different design. Mine were the eye lashes, hair, and the pattern of squiggly lines. We also had to have three different parts of the design that was 3-D. Mine were the mouth, nose, and placing it onto the cardboard. After we finished designing the mask on the construction paper, we got to glue it onto the cardboard. we...
