Art with the Character from the Books by Leah Goldberg

I love what came out of a 2 session artproject working on the shape of a square.

Working with a precut stancil of the square they drew squares with pastes, then painted with guache the background on the first sessions.

In the next session I gave photocopy of character from the books that are written by Leah Goldberg, a theme that our school is working on this year. They were told to place the cararcters inside the square windows they drew.

Next I gave precut striped for them to create a window panels around the window.

Below, this was done in one session by a very talented student in this class, 2nd grade special Education.

Carboard Box Structures

Following the book by Leah Goldberg, a story about neigbors in an apartment building

we made those building structures  from supermarket boxes.

Colorful Masks

Next month we have our costume carnival holiday, Purim

 so here is a post from last year that was never published

No two are the same, easy to make carnival mask.

                                                                         link to another masks for Purim.

The bottom part of the mask is a print effect,

On a precut white cardboard that was folded in the middle, they painted with guache paint. Folding in the middle often to cause the print effect on the oppisit side.

It was put to dry.

The top eye mask is a colorful crep paper collage.
They first tore color crep paper, then the form snakes or round balls from the torn paper. They glued the crep paper on the precut construction paper with the cut out eyes.
The mask was put together once the parts were dry.

Holiday Photo Frame

Another aluminum photo frame,

aluminum always looks special.

I think this photo frame is easier to make.

The student choose a photo and marked a rectangle on the board.

Then, glued precut cardboard pieces around the marked rectangle.

The next step glue aluminum foil.

Paint guache on everything, let dry.

Rub of some paint of the foil and then place photo in the frame. 

2 Stained Glass Window Projects for the Holiday Season

During this holiday season we did two stain glass artprojects, both with transparent sheet

this is made with 2 transparent sheet.
They sketched their design on paper,
 On the left he used a circle stencil.
 One one transparent sheet they glued  small color scaps we have and thefollowing lesson they worked on the same drawing with color tessue paper.
To display I sawed them together with sawing machine

Winter, The Cyclaman Plant

My favorite wild  flower is the Cyclaman, that blooms in the beginning of the winter.The flower has lovely shape leaves, shaped like a heart and  each leaf is  beautifuly  designed with a mix of greens.

So with some of my high students we used stancil to make leaves and with the rest I cut heart shape leaves out of the paper the students painted in green a week before.

We work on color, mixing white and red for pink.

 

another version of the cyclaman plant using pastels.

and another using transparent sheet and plasticine on pastel background

Broken line texture, Channuka Oil Jar

 The first step they did is brush  cooking oil

on the precut color cardboard jug (same as  "Oil Jug, Pastels with oil")

 Next, they wrinked the jar shape color paper to a small

round ball to form the broken line texture you see on  the jar.

Open thr wrinkled jar and glue it on heavy board,

Drew with oil pastels around the jar to form a border design.

Last, paint with gold guache on top, the gold paint goes deep in side the wrinkles paper and lighter where there is pastel and brushed cooking oil.
