This past week was Halloween and Day of the Dead. So at R-tworx we explored Sugar Skulls made out of black paper and pastels. At first I had the kids draw some designs on a template before moving to the black paper. It was a great exercise in learning about the shape of the human skull… though a few kids were a little grossed out by the idea that there are no nose bones in the skull. 🙂
This activity was inspired by:
Deep Space Sparkle’s Katrina Paintings
Nothing makes a statement better than BRIGHT, BOLD colours. So last Thursday that is exactly what we did!
1.Using markers, paints and bingo dabbers our student create bright and bold backgrounds on cardstock and left them to dry.
2.While they were drying students then drew self portraits on separate paper and coloured them in bright and unusual colours.
3.We then cut out our portraits and glued them to our dry backgrounds with some striking results!
We would love to see some of your creations!
Cheers!
