Art Class: Drawing with Objects

Hi! My students are making drawings with found objects at home. Remember to emphasize that they should use safe items found. I got them to list some items that are suitable before the actual task. We also looked at some examples of artists' work samples. Watch the video to see my examples.

HBL: Art Card Game

Hi Teachers, this week, my students will be doing HBL using word cards. I've compiled multiple options for the children so that they will have a wide range of materials to choose from at home. Some of them even uploaded videos on SLS when they are 'performing' the adverbs. Please watch the video to find out more!

Art Class: Online Gallery on SLS

Most of our events are taking place online this year. Our students have started preparing their work to be exhibited online on SLS. I've prepared folders for them to collate their work and encouraged them to provide positive feedback for each other. Just some tips on taking better photos of their work and they are good to go.

Art Class: Surrealism in Watercolour

 



Watercolour is an unforgiving medium. Its transparency is beautiful but a mistake is clearly visible unlike the acrylic paint where you can go over it by applying a new layer. 

I prefer to let the students use acrylic paint but since I'm conducting art class in the classrooms, I'm changing the medium. A good thing is each class is equipped with a sink so at least they still can wash their supplies without making visits to the washrooms. 

I prepared paint on the plastic lid and allow them to dry before distributing them to the students. They would just need to fill the continer with water and start paint. To clean up, they will empty the container and allow the paint to dry the same way when they have just received them. I made a watercolour video and the students will be learning to apply the techniques to their drawings. We'll see how it goes.
