This was a super fun collaborative project I did with the Grade 7 Social Studies teacher at my school. He's a very creative teacher and is always looking for ways to incorporate art projects into his lessons. His students were studying the Vikings and their early exploration in Canada (the famous L'Anse aux Meadows site, dated circa 1000 AD, located in the Province of Newfoundland) L'Anse aux Meadows is the only confirmed Norse site in North America outside Greenland. It represents the farthest-known extent of European exploration and settlement of the New World before the voyages of Christopher Columbus almost 500 years later. I was super stoked to teach a Vikings themed art lesson partly because I'm obsessed with the TV show "Vikings" on the History channel. It's a Canadian/Irish production and is beautifully filmed and brilliantly acted. The lead Viking, Ragnar, is amazing! I showed the kids photos of ancient Viking longships. We learned their features and characteristics. Then, on thick white paper, students started by drawing out their ship in pencil. Then they outlined it all with Sharpies. . They had the option of using pencil crayons or watercolours to colour in the ship. Then, I demoed how to mix and use watercolours in a wet-on-wet technique for the sky and sea. I encouraged them to have the sea a rough blue/grey colour as it's supposed to be the Atlantic ocean. I loved how they all turned out. Of course I HAD to include Ragnar in my display, lol! I love walking past him everyday!! (and the artwork too, of course ;)

Teimme ison projektin tänä vuonna Äitienpäivälahjaksi. 27 tokaluokkalaistani naulasi 30x40 cm 6mm paksun vanerin reunoille tarjottimen reunat. Pitkät sivut he sahasivat ja hioivat itse, päätyjen kaarevat reunat olivat valmiina. Tarjottimet maalattiin kahteen kertaan valkoisella maalilla. Tarjottimen pohjaan oppilaat liimasivat EriKeeperillä rikottuja kaakeleita ja lopuksi saumasimme kaakelipohjan valkoisella laattasaumalla. Taitavia oppilaita, upeat tarjottimet saatiin tehdyksi! Onnea Äideille!! Vaihekuvia:

Por hacer algo diferente con los chicos de 2º E,mi tutoría , ya que ellos habían visto módulos el año anterior , elegí trabajar mediante pautas "cosiendo en papel ", esta actividad ya la inicie años anteriores , la podéis ver pinchando en el siguiente enlace: Pautas y Patrones El planteamiento era facil y se desarrollo sobre una hoja de cuadros de cualquier libreta donde cada uno iba coloreando con el lápiz cuadritos persiguiendo un motivo que se repitiera, de esta forma solo tenían que seguir su boceto y elegir las cartulinas del color o colores que precisaran. Podéis ver estos bocetos en algunas de las siguientes fotografías ..( algunos hasta improvisabais) Encarni y Alicia cara posterior ...además de visualizar ejemplos de la entrada similar, para que entendieran el proceso se mostraron imágenes con patrones de bordado que busque por pinterest: Algunos han escogido trabajar en grupo y otros en solitario, os dejo algunos de ellos...

I printed off a variety of pictures for my students to use as references for this project. They drew numbers from a cup and then selected a photo in number order. Students used a grid to draw these photos and left the grid boxes on the paper for this project. The main goal for this project was to teach my students about value/shades as well as incorporating the use of a monochromatic color scheme through value. We also used complementary color schemes. This was a challenging assignment for my 7th and 8th graders, but the results turned out pretty well. Some of them eliminated quite a few details while others kept them. Each gives a different feel to the painting. Here are some examples: This piece received a medal at our JH league art competition last week! :)
