Holiday Drawing Activities

Ideas for the holidays: Why not try drawing your favourite animal or cartoon character?

This is a link to "Art for Kids Hub" playlist on youtube. The same one we used to draw the Kookaburra.

Kookaburra Videos (Art)

Photos and video from our recent art class: ...

Pupils follow the instructions from the video on the interactive whiteboard:

... and then give feedback on their first attempts ... some are more happy with their work than others!:

Even though these photos and videos are from the pupils in 5ºB the drawings from 5ºA  were equally excellent! More photos of the finished drawings to come soon.

Draw a Kookaburra (Art)

We have been working on birds in Literacy. Our next project in Art class is going to be building 3D models of birds from Oceania. Before that we practiced drawing this super bird that is found in Australia: The Kookaburra

Here is the video with step by step instructions that we watched in class. (Message to pupils: If you don´t like your first version do another one!)

Jovellanos Museum (Art)

We went to the Jovellanos Museum in the centre of Gijón (Casa Natal de Jovellanos). In the first part of the visit we looked at portraits ...

and then in the second part we did a portrait workshop and made our own pictures using photocopies of faces of famous women and collage materials (photos 5ºA):

And a video from the 5ºB session:

Día de la Paz (Art)

Every year we celebrate "Peace Day" in school. This year we made a copy of Picasso´s Dove of Peace". We made a collective artwork with all the Atalía pupils making hand prints around the dove silhouette. In class each pupil also made their own versions of the Picasso drawing.

In this video the pupils from 5ºB are painting around dove templates which they had made by copying from the original drawing. Then they used their fingers to create a similar effect to the whole school picture which can be seen on the floor.
