Dotty Art

Inspired by the works of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, Blaxland art class created 2D dotty art on cardboard today.

What we used:

Scissors

Sticker paper (office labels)

Rolls of circle stickers from the newsagent

Pencils

Circular objects for tracing around (bottle caps, empty tape rolls, toilet rolls, jar lids)

Coloured cardboard

This class is good especially for teaching about contrasting colours. Have a look at the wonderful results!

                                     

Thanks for looking!

Rainbow Scratch-board Drawings

Today at Blaxland Library we used pre-made scratch-boards from Cleverpatch to make colourful rainbow etchings. Using pre-made boards saved a lot of time, but another class idea would be to one week make the scratch-boards up (paint colourful backgrounds on cardboard, and when dry cover completely in black wax crayon) and the second week to scratch through the wax crayon. 

The kids in this class used various implements to scratch through the black layer, like paper clips and blunt wooden shapes. 

Perfect for silhouette art

GREAT WORK EVERYONE!
