mandala design- painting

-

 Description: We had to draw a mandala design. This started off with getting shown four different ways to paint. Dabbing, salt, wet, resist. She showed us it and then we tried. After that, we were asked to draw 8 different sections. It started with line horizontally, then vertically then two diagonal. After that we had scratch paper and had to draw two drew designs, the catch was to draw the same on every triangle. Picked which one we wanted then drew. After, we traced in sharpie. We had to use watercolors and paint, after painting had to make sure we used two. I used dabbing and wet as my techniques. Then after had to glue it on a piece of colored paper. 


Extension activity: I would have this be designing a time in history design. Like a symbol that represents something and have them create the design or could have the students ask a family member there favorite design and have to do that next and give it to them, could be like a present around Christmas.

 Description: For this project we used construction paper- one for the background and one for our fish. We also could use others for background for our ocean scene. She started to go over about fish and the habitats they live in, etc. Half stencil fish was already cut out so we traced it to have a whole fish. I used blue as the background for water. To make the fish we had to fold the construction paper in half hotdog style. We took the fish stencil and traced our outline of the fish. Unfolding the paper so it showed the whole fish. To make the paper weaving in the middle of the fish we had to first fold our fish in half. We took our 2" construction and placed it just under the fins. Then we drew a line down from the stop line to where the fold of the fish is and made 7 lines. We cut lines and weaved the paper through. We picked two other scenes for the ocean to complete.  Extension activity- This would be good to have them write about on a PowerPoint and share different ...

 Description- We worked in partners to create this artwork. First she talked about grid making with what jobs use grids. After she gave us a paper with a grid on it and we had to copy the design on the board onto our grid. We picked three colors out, one of our partners favorite, ours and a random one. We picked colors that matched sun. We also had three white papers. She had us fold all 6 pieces of paper in half, hot dog style. Then we put all three pieces of paper inside each other. On the top paper we marked with a ruler every inch. We then drew lines to connect the dots. We cut those strips in half (on the fold line). We had to connect our colored papers and white papers based off of our grids- we used tape and the white sheets to connect. We had them on a wood stick to hang up. Extension Activity- This would be something to teach with math when it comes to grids. Showing them different colors equal different numbers.

 Description- We drew an ocean scene on a piece of paper. We transferred it to Styrofoam. We laid our sheet on top of it then traced it. After that we went onto the Styrofoam and traced/drew what wasn't showing up. Coloring the ocean scene was next. I tried to avoid the lines so it made the drawings to pop more. After I transferred it to water color paper. We had to put water on it then use a paper towel to dry it, we used a roller to transfer it to the water paper.  Extension activity- This could be used to write compound words. The students could do all the same steps but have it be compound words instead
