3D Hand Art

5-6 G have completed a variety of Art activities throughout Term 3. Our 3D hand designs were completed by tracing our own hand onto a piece of paper. We then used a ruler to draw a straight line across the page, being careful not to draw over our hands. A curved line was then drawn in the actual hand and fingers to give the raised/3D effect. Students were then able to use a series of bold, contrasting colours to help highlight the hand.

Protractor Art

Our protractor Art was completed as part of our Maths unit on angles. Students were encouraged to outline each of the protractors and have them overlap each-other. Each student was able to design and colour each of the drawings, leaving some parts of the page blank to highlight the various types of protractors used.

Self-Portraits

To complete our self-portraits, we began by painting a background to enable enough time for it to dry. Our backgrounds were based on an outdoor setting or a night time sky-line. Each student was then able to draw and colour themselves, concentrating on a portrait of their head and upper body.

We then cut out our portraits and added them to the backgrounds. The contrast of the painted background and the use of pencil to shade the portraits enabled each image to be highlighted on the page.
