LESSON II - INCORPORATING VISUAL ART
Students
will sketch the piece they chose from their Internet research.
THE PAINTING PROCEDURE
1) Students
create their own "pulp paper" by soaking
commercial
brown paper in water, squeezing out all the
chemicals
and allowing the paper to dry with a
wrinkled
texture, closely resembling actual tree bark,
or pulp
paper.
2) Students
transfer their drawing onto the pulp
paper.
3) Students
will use their color print to recreate the
color scheme
of the piece with tempera paints. Next,
students
will use black markers to outline the shapes
in their
artwork. Some students decided to create
striking
nature-inspired borders of plant life and animal
patterns and
painted them with tempera paints.
TIP: If you
can work in conjunction with the art
teacher
please do.

samples of work**
SCANNING IN THE ARTWORK
1) Students
scan in their artwork.
2) Students
print out one color print
of the
original artwork if color printer is available. These can then be used to
create classroom or
hallway bulletin boards. |
