BOBBLE HEADS

This is by far one of my favorite projects of the year. I found this lesson on Pinterest at

 http://www.pinterest.com/pin/544020829959948982/ . this is very much a pinch pot project with the addition of creating legs that are the base. Students had the option to create what ever they wanted.

 Students were given the choice to place their pinch pots in any direction they wanted. Sitting like a bowl, upside down or sideways. They could design any animal or creature they wanted and they could add any colour choices. This was my first time doing clay with the grade 7's, overall it was a good success. However some of the glazes didn't turn out as planned, either not enough coats were put on or they did not have a chance to cool down slow enough.

Picasso Head

PICASSO HEADS

 

I originally got this lesson from ART ATTCK before Neil passed away. Here is the newest link to the lesson.  http://www.disney.co.uk/disney-junior/art-attack/attacks/attack-5.jsp I have also seen this lesson on Pinterest, used with grade 5's I believe. I don't know that I would ever tackle such a project with such a young group. I tried it with my grade 9's and I have to say I am very impressed with the results. It would have been something I would of liked to have done with my grade 7's or 8's but I don't see them as often as I see my grade 9's and this is a very extensive project. There are many steps to it.

 

First we looked at Cubism and the style of Pablo Picasso. Then we got right into the creating of their designs. They needed some help with the composition of triangles, but overall they seemed to get the concept. See instructions on link provided.

 

When it came to painting the Picasso heads we looked at shading with regards to a light source and shadows, as well, we looked at colour theory and how using colour schemes creates the best contrast. Overall I think it was a very successful project.
