Picasso Face Craft (1)



Creating a Picasso-inspired face craft using modeling clay and acrylic paints is a fun way to explore abstract art. Start by sculpting a unique face from the modeling clay, incorporating exaggerated features like large eyes, a crooked nose, and a wide mouth, reminiscent of Picasso’s distinct style. Once the clay is dry, we will use vibrant acrylic paints to bring sculpture to life next week, applying bold colors and playful patterns that reflect the emotions kids want to convey. This hands-on project not only encourages creativity but also allows kids to experiment with shapes and colors, capturing the essence of Cubism in their own artistic expression.

Aboriginal Lizard


  In this aboriginal inspired art lesson, students explored traditional lizard design
using a variety of materials.They pointed their lizard artwork with vibrant 
acrylic paints, highlighting the unique patterns and colors often found
in aboriginal art. Golden markers were used to add intricate details and accents,
bringing the design to life.To further enhance the texture and visual appeal,
sequins were carefully place on the artwork, adding a sparkling effect. Through this
project, students not only learned about Aboriginal culture and it’s connection to nature
but also developed their skills in using mixed media to create striking, meaningful artwork .

Bowl Aquarium

 


In this art lesson, students explored the concept of creating a bowl aquarium scene by combining various art techniques. The project involved drawing and coloring elements of a fishbowl, including aquatic plants and sea creatures such as fish and a seahorse. In addition to traditional drawing, the lesson introduced collage techniques, where students used torn paper to create the textured bodies of the fish. This layering effect added depth and visual interest to the artwork. Through this exercise, students developed their creativity, learned about mixed media, and gained skills in composition and texture creation.


In the after-school program, students are diligently continuing to work on their artwork for the Reflection Art Contest. They are putting the finishing touches on their pieces while incorporating thoughtful ideas that reflect the contest's theme. As they refine their work, they are encouraged to express their creativity and personal interpretations, ensuring that their final submission not only showcases their artistic skills but also conveys a meaningful message aligned with the theme. This process allows students to deepen their understanding of the theme and connect their artwork to their own experiences and insights.
